Elderly Chinese Woman Spends Over Rs 4 Crore on Beauty Treatments at One Salon
A 75-year-old Chinese woman spent over Rs 4 crore of her life savings on beauty treatments at a single salon and affiliated clinic since 2016. Her daughter uncovered the extensive spending, including costly procedures like skin tightening, thread lifting, and multiple eyebrow and lip tattoo sessions. Some treatments were reportedly priced 10 to 20 times above market rates, raising concerns about potential pressure or misleading sales tactics targeting elderly consumers. The salon denied any wrongdoing, stating treatments were requested by the woman.
