A Dublin woman, who claimed she had screamed in pain when a wax strip was “suddenly and ferociously” pulled along her right eyebrow by a beauty therapist, has lost a €60,000 damages claim against the salon owners.

Judge James McCourt said Nikita Kelly was just 17 when the alleged incident happened seven years ago and, in dismissing her case, added that she had not divulged information about a skin disorder which had been revealed in medical reports before the court.
