A police probe has been launched in central China after a woman went for a normal haircut and ended up having half her head shaved and the whole process filmed for what she later found out was a sleazy fetish website.

The woman, a part-time hair model surnamed Zheng from Wuhan, Hubei province, wanted a bob-style cut, she said on Xiaohongshu, China’s version of Instagram.
