She said while working on the client's hair she saw something that looked like smoke coming out from her occipital.

When the smoke entered her eyes, her sight started to become foggy, making it difficult for her work, she stated.
While returning home from the customer's house, the Ghanaian hairdresser said she stumbled around several times, desperately trying to clear her vision without success.
"I scratched my eyes several times while struggling to find my way home. I eventually met a neighbour who guided me to the house," she narrated.
"When I reported the incident to my madam, she said I was lying and added that I was a lazy girl," she added.
Without discounting matters of spirituality, Mrs Chelsea-Abigail Owusu Ansah, a GWR-recognised professional hairstylist said the lady's issue may well be a medical condition.
She said she had never encountered such an incident before throughout her many years of professional practice.
Mrs Chelsea-Abigail Owusu Ansah further advised hairdressers to prep their clients to find out if it is appropriate to touch their hair and whether they have any medical conditions before proceeding to work.
"I have never experience anything in as such in my line of work before. But I will advised hairdressers to always say sorry to their clients and ask if they have any medical conditions before they touch their head," she said,
"The lady's issue can be medically corrected. Maybe it’s because it came impromptu and she’s never experience such so she thinks it spiritual," she added.
