Queens Beauty Technician Faces Charges After Allegedly Causing Severe Reactions in Client

NEW YORK (RACE DAY LIVE) –

A Queens cosmetologist has been charged for allegedly injecting a client with unknown substances while claiming to provide Botox, collagen, and other treatments, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Fei Min, 41, was charged with assault, unauthorized practice, and reckless endangerment. Prosecutors said she was not licensed to perform such treatments.

According to court documents, Min ran Princess Beauty on Union Street in Flushing, advertising beauty treatments at her salon. A 57-year-old woman began visiting the business in 2021, believing she was receiving Botox, stem cell, and collagen injections.

On July 4, 2024, the client went in for a skin-plumping treatment. Min allegedly injected her neck about 140 times with an unknown substance, causing redness, swelling, blisters, burning, and severe pain.

The woman returned on July 18, and Min injected another unknown substance to try to reduce the swelling and pain. A month later, she came back for more treatments, including microneedling and injections. Instead of relief, she experienced more swelling, bleeding, burning, and scarring.

“I encourage anyone who may have visited the defendant’s business and suffered any injuries to contact our consumer fraud helpline at 718-286-6673 and urge anyone seeking cosmetic treatments to first check the credentials of the provider with the New York State Education Department Office of the Professions,” Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said.

Min was arraigned on assault in the second degree, unauthorized practice, and reckless endangerment in the second degree. She faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.
