A 10-year-old boy in southwestern China called the police when he decided a new haircut was far from satisfactory.

The boy looked repeatedly into the mirror and became angry after the barber finished his work on the boy earlier this week in Anshun, Guizhou, a video on Weibo showed.

Bursting into a loud cry and moving his hands through his hair continuously, the boy soon called the police, the video showed.

When the police arrived at the barbershop and discovered the reason for the call was no emergency, they asked the boy’s elder sister to mediate with the barber.

The sister promised she would educate the boy, telling him to speak to his parents first and not to involve the police in trivial matters.
