- The salon owner said tape extensions suited the teenager’s hairstyle needs.

## Summary

A Melbourne tribunal dismissed Bianca Chung’s claim for $800 against salon owner Claudia Giuliano over hair extensions supplied to Chung’s teenage daughter. The dispute centred on whether they had agreed to weft extensions, as Chung said, or tape extensions, which Giuliano said better suited the teenager’s habit of tying her hair back.

The daughter was 16 when she received the $700 service in May last year and said she became confused when tape extensions were applied but did not object. Two extensions later slipped, and Giuliano offered to reattach them free and, according to the article, offered to install weft extensions as a goodwill gesture. Chung alleged breach of contract and that the service was not fit for purpose; Giuliano argued her agreement was with the daughter and defended her work as professional.
