Shocking: Barber Uses 'Spit' To Massage Customer's Face, Arrested

Relaxing at a salon is usually comforting, especially with treatments like massages. However, a recent visit to a salon in Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow turned out to be a nightmare for a customer. CCTV footage from a salon captured a staff member “massaging a customer’s face at a salon with his spit.” The video shared widely on social media, has sparked concern among viewers about salon hygiene and safety.

The CCTV footage shows a customer receiving services while seated in a chair. Shockingly, the footage reveals an employee spitting on his palm and giving a face massage to the man. The customer became suspicious of the barber’s behaviour and decided to review the salon’s CCTV footage. Upon discovering the disturbing act, the customer filed a complaint against the employee, named Zaid, at the Sushant Golf City police station, using the CCTV footage as evidence. Subsequently, the police have registered a case against the salon worker and taken him into custody.

The clip shared on X (formerly Twitter) came with the text, “What the hell! A salon worker in Lucknow was seen massaging the customer’s face with spit. The incident came to light after the customer grew suspicious and insisted on checking the footage. The salon worker, Zaid, was arrested after a complaint was lodged.”

According to a report in Hindustan Times, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, South, Shashank Singh said, “Customer Pandit Ashish Kumar, an Unnao resident, gave an FIR under relevant sections in this connection on Saturday and after which Zaid, the accused barber was arrested and is now being sent to judicial custody.”

The “disgusting” video, which sparked anger among social media users, has been widely shared online. Unfortunately, this incident is not an isolated case. In a previous incident in Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, another salon worker was caught mixing his saliva into a customer’s face pack. The incident was exposed when another customer recorded the act.
