UTICA, N.Y. -- A Utica woman is in custody after police say she stabbed a woman who gave her what she thought was a bad hairdo.

The two women were at a house party early on April 22 near the corner of Genesee and Grant streets when the argument started, Utica police said in a news release.

Cheryl Lynn, 20, felt the other woman did a bad job doing Lynn's hair and wanted a refund, sparking an argument, police said.

The two women left the party. A short time later they crossed paths on the street and mutually agreed to a fight.

During the fight, Lynn stabbed the other woman in the neck, shoulder and chest, police said. The hairdresser fled and called police.

Lynn was arrested Tuesday and charged with second-degree assault and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, both felonies. She's being held in the Oneida County Jail.
