This is the amusing moment a woman received a wacky hairstyle at a salon in China.

Ms Zhang took the opportunity to experience a unique and creative hairstyle made by an auntie in Tianjin on June 14.

Footage shows a timelapse video of the studious procedure by the skilled stylist.

The elderly hairdresser styled the young lady's hair in an elegant high bun, adorned with colourful strands and an LED light.

The happy client confidently strutted down the streets, proudly showing off her intricate and radiant mermaid tail-like hairdo.

According to the filmer, she had come to the city specifically to experience the special hairstyle.

The styling process took about an hour altogether, while it took her half an hour to take her hair apart after returning home.
