An Ohio woman who believed a barber was taking too long to cut her son's hair pulled a gun, telling the hairstylist that "I've got two clips," WJW reported.

According to Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County, the incident occurred April 14 at Allstate Barber College in Cleveland.

While a barber in training was cutting the 7-year-old boy’s hair, the woman became upset with the length of time it was taking, WJW reported.

The woman complained several times before a manager came over to talk to the barber, Cleveland.com reported. The woman walked up and asked if he had something to say to her, according to a police report.

She then pulled a gun from her purse and said, “I got two clips. I’ll pop you,” witnesses said.

"For a $6 haircut? You're doing all this?" barber college instructor Marilyn Medina told WEWS. "I was afraid. You never know the intention she had, if she was really going to shoot, if she was really going to do something."

After the woman was calmed down, the barber finished the haircut. The woman then left with her two children. Authorities are now seeking the woman, WJW reported.
