“However, I was lying down on the bed the whole time, so I don’t understand how that could have caused the scratch.”
The OP described feeling “very disappointed” with the attitude shown by the beautician.
She added that taking responsibility and offering an apology would have made a significant difference.

The post has since gained traction online, with many netizens expressing sympathy towards the OP.
