and disfigured after a £3 eyelash treatment
caused severe chemical burns around her eyes.
Singer Masha Kuznetsova has to wear make-up
whenever she is on stage.
But rather than use mascara for each
performance, the 13-year-old’s parents decided to
tint their daughter’s eyelashes instead.
They took Masha to a beauty salon in the city of
Volgograd, in south-western Russia’s Volograd
Oblast.
The couple said they paid the equivalent of £3 to
have both their daughter’s eyebrows and lashes
tinted.
Masha’s father Sergey Kuznetsov, 42, said: ‘They
never gave us any warning that there were any
risks.
Her father Sergey Kuznetsov, 42, said the salon
they chose didn’t warn them of the risks
‘And we certainly never expected in our wildest
dreams that she would be left with a disfigured
face, chemical burns and partial loss of vision in
one eye.
‘It all happened two months ago and she is still
in pain and unable to perform properly.
‘But not being able to perform is the least of our
worries, the fact that she is in so much pain and
looks like this is a disaster for our daughter.
‘She was an outward going and happy individual,
and now she’s a nervous wreck who just wants to
hide in her bedroom the whole time.’
He said Masha had been delighted when she was
chosen as a soloist to perform in the Volgograd
Cossack ensemble.
He added: ‘The beauty salon that used to do her
make-up suggested the colouring would make it
quicker to get ready, and we agreed.
‘When it all went wrong, I was shocked that they
didn’t even apologise.
‘I am taking them to court, demanding
compensation.’
Make-up expert Elena Antonova, 33, told Russian
media that if the chemicals using during the
colouration process not been properly mixed or
applied, it could easily cause the damage that the
13-year-old experienced.
