The stolen product was valued at £89.99, and was taken from Boots in Hereford by 34-year-old Megan Haynes.
She entered a guilty plea to one count of theft when she appeared before magistrates in Hereford earlier this month.
The court heard from Lauren Millichip of the Crown Prosecution Service that the 34-year-old, who was represented at the hearing by defence solicitor Chris Read, had stolen a “hair trimming grooming tool” on March 7.
Many different types of personal grooming tools are sold in Boots, a British health and beauty chain with a shop in Hereford city centre.
