Judge John Hughes applied the Probation Act after she paid €240 to the salon – including the original cost of the €130 treatment. She had been warned she faced two months in jail if she did not pay the compensation. When it came time to pay, Vesey said she had forgotten her wallet and that she had to get it from her car. Vesey claimed she told staff she was not happy with her hair because it was “bright orange and all patchy. The trial judge said an “after” picture taken by Vesey looked very different to one taken in the salon.
