A glamorous make-up artist who dug her teeth into a woman’s face during a pub brawl has escaped jail.
Chelsea Hall, 28, got in a fight with another woman the Northies hotel in Cronulla, south of Sydney, at 11.30pm last September.
The pair pushed each other and pulled each other’s hair before Hall viciously bit her opponent’s cheek, giving her a 3cm wound.

Hall pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm at Sutherland Local Court, but walked free with no jail-time, according to the St George Shire Standard.
Magistrate Peter Budgen said the victim sustained a 3cm laceration, calling it a ‘horrendous wound’ which could leave her with permanent scarring.
The 28-year-old make-up artist was sentenced to an eight-month jail sentence, which she is going to serve in the community.
‘This court doesn’t see assaults by way of biting very often,’ Mr Bugden said before the court.
Legal Aid solicitor Nicholas Breen defended Hall by saying she felt ‘bullied’ by the victim, which lead to her pushing her.
‘Admittedly this is a matter where her judgment was clouded by the amount of alcohol she had,’ Mr Breen said.
At the time of the assault, Hall told police she was scared as the victim had grabbed her by the throat, which lead her to bite the woman.
‘She was overpowered by the victim, she felt threatened, and she made a very poor choice to assault the victim,’ Mr Breen said.

Hall presents herself as a loving and hard nosed mother of one on her social media pages.
‘I’m an artist, a mum, a sister and a f***ing great friend,’ she wrote online.
‘I hate giving up, I’m really honest but I’ll always have your back.’
After her court appearance the makeup artist, eyelash technician and childcare worker, posted an image of Cronulla Beach with the caption, ‘No matter how bad it gets, there is still good to be found in every day.’
She has no criminal history and has been ordered to live at her Woonona home.
She is also banned from the hotel at Cronulla where the incident played out.
