I left one star review after i payed for 22inch but got 16inch hair extensions and also my scalp was extremely damaged only after wearing it for 4 days . It was all around horrible experience i posted about it before .

Ripped out with flash basically

Now i'm not English but i also am
not Romanian and now owner replied with this ( see attached) to my review and much much more lies and degrading comments ( which i wont post not to out her )

She also posted my face photos on her website despite me telling her that will put my child and myself in extreme danger as we were escaping DV and re located few years ago in another town . DV was extreme.

I feel like calling police am i being unreasonable? But she hates this one star review so much that i have all reasons to believe that if my ex saw my photos and contacted her she'd give him my new address and contacts .
My reasons are - i told her about DV and how dangerous it would be to post me and she posted after my review . So she knows what she is doing

She changed her business name into " Goodbye " enter my name " which is weird too

I'm terrified now .

@Mummy2024 she deleted her Google reviews so i wrote a comment on her FB page.
I feel I am aloud to write about my experience, warn others , specially foreign women .

Everyone is telling me to be loud about my experience, my friends are telling me to contact local papers and show what she done to my scalp , and her abusive Xenophobic correspondence

All my comments or reviews are without personal attacks or abuse of any sort - just laying out facts . Police read everything and i couldn't be more polite if i tried . I even begged her to see me

I would hate to read another review similar to mine , about other woman's experience . When i can prevent this .

I feel it's my duty to warn others, it's all deeply offensive and my scalp was butchered in only few days of wearing the extensions.
I showed damage and asked her to remove it as i was i. agony - in writing. Her response was "
wait 5 days as I'm serving others "

It took 30 mins to take it off in different place and absolutely everyone was shocked by her negligence. I feel like it was an attack on me because i'm foreign .

Anyone seeing butchered scalp and reading that i'm in pain , crying , can't sleep or work would have decency to take the shittily attached extensions off - i had to apply steroid solution and now hair re- growing sticking out weirdly ( at least it's growing i guess
) And was given sertaline by GP .

Police told me i'm allowed to share my experience so i will . I do feel violated for simply being foreign . How can i leave it ? If she carries on working this must be posted together with our conversations and her replies

I am a human being . I am allowed to be upset .

Xx

Whilst I understand the situation and your desire to warn others, don't let it take over your life.

Contact the police with any further abuse recieved its all evidence of harassment.

It's not racist cos Romanian isn't a race. Xenophobic tho.

Racism can be directed at any ethnic group.

thank you @SureJanOK

I received this email so i think police is taking this seriously and want to offer me support . That's really nice of them , and i am
so grateful.

Hairdresser should keep her racism to herself and not post publicly . She can also refuse to serve foreign women - so easy to say " sorry but i'm fully booked up "

But i guess my money wasn't " grease ridden Romanian money "

This sounds awful, but you need to be careful OP. You are feeding the troll. Don't provoke her. Do not instigate any further dialogue. Do not post about this online anymore.
Instead report all abusive contact to the police.
You yourself say you are a victim of DV, and all this attention will make you highly visible to your ex.

Here we go again
Abuse on Messenger and before i can reply or have a normal conversation with this woman she blocks me . "Why don't i get a life " or meaning why report her to police i guess

If upset me but i couldn't show her that im upset - there fore me sending. smileys and X

Look I have to point out here in the interests of fairness that the first pic. The very first line says she is responding to a comment by you on her page. OP you need to stop speaking to this woman and report any further abuse to the police.

I obviously don't know who's said what to who first but you do need to not respond even If she messages you first... screen shot report.... it can be seen as harassment but the same can be said about you if you are the person instigating comments first.

As for greasy Romanian she asked me what makes me think it's racist ?

Really? Denigrating someone as "greasy" and a named foreign nationality and she can't see how it's racist? I'd ask to speak to someone higher up.

My scalp damage , a
the pain and suffering and i payed £1200 for her extensions . She works from home posting racist hate speech

She said she is 54 and pregnant.

Oh my god OP she sounds completely unhinged! That’s really quite disturbing. Can you block her? Or maybe report this latest contact to the police? I can’t believe this woman was running a business!

Opinionwontchangeluv · 20/06/2024 21:16

Omg she is vile just wow

@Mummy2024 so police payed her a visit .
Results - not only me - but whole buisness deleted from Google reviews - just gone ..

But cherry on top - message to my bf "try this now you c**t"
he tried to ask "try what ?" but was blocked already

Thank you all lovely ladies - i honestly wouldn't know what to do this evening without all the support
xx

She was basically saying trying giving me a bad review now, when I've taken down the whole buisness. Has she removed your pictures from her website?

I'd keep an eye out and if your review reappears if she reactives contact the police again if there's anything identifying on it and your concerned.

Glad it's all gone OP shame the visit from the police didn't stop her from sending more vile messages. They probably told her not to contact you so she contacted your bf instead.

Captnip500 · 16/06/2024 09:24

Well done Op, that woman really is piece of work. I’d tell the police about the message she sent to your boyfriend too.

I kind of hope she doesn't remove that reply for a wee while (as long as it doesn't have your name in) because that alone is FAR worse for business than any review anyone could leave. I wouldn't go near her if I was a potential customer if I saw that reply. All places get bad reviews at some point and I take them with a pinch of salt and look at all reviews as a whole before deciding if I want to give them my business.

Mirandasbiggestfan · 15/06/2024 16:12

What a hateful, racist woman, well done for reporting OP & I’m so sorry for what you’ve experienced.

saveforthat · 15/06/2024 16:10

FieldInWhichFucksAreGrownIsBarren · 15/06/2024 15:01

She has done herself no favours with that reply, if I saw it I'd think her salon would be one to avoid.

Yes. Whoever is right or wrong here about extensions. I would see her reply and think avoid like the plague.
On a side note, surely the bit about Romanian grease is racist? Usually a lot of stuff people think is racist, I do not but in this case surely it would be.

Anotherparkingthread · 15/06/2024 16:06

Op I would never ever go to a salon that posted a horrible comment like that. I would assume the owner was a total cowbag and not want to get involved or give her money.

Xenophobic bitch her.

Show quote history

Glad you reported it and can't believe the police asked you what made you think it's racist. What's racist is she said greasy haired romanian. She used your nationality as a smear against you and added greasy haired aswell. It would seem who ever you spoke to only regards the colour of someone's skin as racism. Just shows the sheer lack of understanding thats still out there. Although they could have been trying to gauge in what way it offended you as being racist to record it.

You did the right thing reporting it, have to say though the police are possibly going to try and bargain with you here to remove your original review in order for her to remove all details about you. It's ludicrous and unfair but I'd say there is a high chance of it happening

AthenaBasil · 15/06/2024 16:02

So sorry you’re dealing with that. It’s ironic she says you lack intelligence because anyone reading that comment would be put off going to see her.

Good for you OP on reporting her👏👏👏

I'm sorry for what happened with you OP.

Unfortunately a lot of people don't understand what DV is, and have no sympathy towards the victims. DV go both ways, male and females. I think she may be one of those narcissists women. The moment you told her about your DV situation she kept it in mind and now she used it against you.

You did the right thing to call the police. It will teach her a lesson. 👍👏👏👏👏
💐💐💐💐

yes that's what all my family and friends are saying . It's below the belt

I actually told her it will put my little one in danger to post me . So that's her " revenge " for one star review

I know it doesn't matter but I'm Latvian and told her that so she has this strange racism against Romanians or thinks it's an insult to be one ..

Sad strange woman x
