Businessman Nitin Kagzi got a nasty shock when he went to an upmarket salon in Mumbai and, instead of a haircut, suffered a grave injury to his ear.

Some of us may have had a particularly bad experience at a barbershop, where we've left with a small cut or graze.

But businessman Nitin Kagzi got a nasty shock when he went to an upmarket salon in Mumbai and, instead of a haircut, suffered a grave injury to his ear.

A senior hairstylist from the Mumbai salon allegedly cut off a part of Kagzi's ear accidentally while giving him a haircut, reported NDTV.

The incident took place at around 1.30 pm on Sunday when in the middle of his hair-cutting session, Kagzi suddenly felt a sting on his ear. Kagzi alleged that the staff at the salon had simply put a bandage on his ear and the stylist who made the mistake didn't tell him about the huge gaffe.

The report further said that the surgery which Kagzi had to undergo due to the injury cost him around Rs 10,000. His yearly package at the salon was worth Rs 25,000.

Kagzi also posted about the incident on Facebook, with a picture showing the ear injury.
