A hair stylist was determined to get her coins from an unsatisfied customer who refused to pay. It appears the customer was seeking a faux locs look. After the stylist completed the service, the customer inspected her hair and verbalized her dissatisfaction. In a series of videos recorded by the customer, the women exchange words over the service and payment. Eventually, the stylist threatens to call the police to get her money.
In one of the initial videos, the stylist, while off-camera, asked the customer to explain what she didnât like about the style. She also reminded the customer that she reviewed her work before booking. However, the customer fired back, saying the completed style didnât match the stylistâs other work.
The stylist also mentioned the customerâs hair color as a reason why the style doesnât look like any example pictures.
âIâve had locs before and Iâve had color on it, but itâs never this puffy,â the customer replied.
When the hairstylist asked for a resolution, the customer asked for a refund of her deposit. She gave the hairdresser the option of cutting out the âpuffyâ locs. But, the entrepreneur wasnât feeling that.
âIf you have a problem with paying me, you know you canâŠgo to jail for that right,â the stylist responded.
But the customer didnât back down. Instead, she explained again that she didnât like the outcome of the service and was okay with letting the stylist take it out. The customer also seemingly revealed the deposit was 50 percent of the styleâs cost.
Things continued to escalate between the two. Finally, the hairdresser told the customer if she wanted the locs removed, it meant paying a takedown fee on top of the remaining install fee. After a slight pause, the stylist said, âIâll just call Fulton County,â referring to local Atlanta police.
The customer doesnât push back on calling the cops. Instead, she encouraged the hairdresser to make the call to law enforcement.
At that point, the disagreement spilled over from the stylistâs place of business into a parking lot.
Both women were standing in a parking lot as the hairdresser spoke on the phone to the police. The customer, who had recorded most of the interaction, stood nearby.
âThis woman here has put this hot mess in my head and is now calling the cops on me because I donât want to pay for it and asked her to take it down,â the customer saidâpanning the camera to show the stylist.
In the background, the stylist explained to the police that her customer refused to pay after she rendered a service. At one point, she accused the customer of trying to leave the premises without payment and yelling in the parking lot. However, the videos donât show either to be accurate, and the customer accuses the stylist of lying to the police.
After making the 911 call, the stylist tells the customer, âyou can leave.â But the customer insists sheâd like to wait for the police to get there so she can explain her side.
Once police arrived and assessed the situation, the police officer determined the stylist was in the right.
âHereâs what I can tell you. The finished product is already finished,â the officer said. âService is already done, which means you have to pay her for that service.â
But, the officer explained the customerâs future options. First, he said she could get a copy of the police report and try to sue in civil court.
âI feel like she knew that she messed up and thatâs why she called the police so she can get her money. And thatâs so ridiculous,â the customer said.
The police explained he couldnât determine whether the stylistâs actions were ridiculous. But, as of the day of the incident, she had to pay the stylist a balance of $100 to avoid going to jail.
Afterward, the woman revealed on her Instagram Story that she decided to pay to avoid spending her sonâs birthday in jail. By the next day, she had gotten the botched style taken down and redone by someone else.
