‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼Ladies and gentlemen beware of Aria Nail Spa located @ 4605 Forest Drive WARNING‼ Unless you feel the need to have a male weirdo nail tech guy stalking you online, STEER CLEAR OF THIS SPA/ SALON! (see Henry K's photo below‼) The fact the owner didn't terminate this man for intentionally stealing my personal information, and using it to stalk me online and leave bogus 1 reviews on my small business profile page, is extremely disturbing. (see photo below). I have made a
report with the FOREST ACRES POLICE DEPARTMENT, and with RICHLAND COUNTY POLICE DEPT. I urge EVERYONE to avoid this salon as long as this man is employed there- no one is safe‼
Short version to a long story. My fiancé treated us to mani-pedis this past Saturday at Aria Nail Spa, located in Forest Acres, SC. We received far "less than professional services", as unbeknownst to us, the nail tech they assigned to us was IN TRAINING! After he spent 2 hours on my nails, and was no where near making them look professional, we had to request to have a 2nd nail tech come finish my nails so we could leave.
Next, fast forward to yesterday (Monday). I received a negative 1 star fabricated review on Google's business page, posted by Henry K, who turns out, has NEVER never been a patron of my small business After much research, turns out Henry K, is the 2nd nail tech who finally completed my nails Saturday evening MAJOR RED FLAG- This salon's employee, Henry K, took it upon himself to use my name and phone number, which was given to the salon for business purposes, NOT-given to this individual to use to stalk and harass me online, and bring harm to my small business. Henry K took it upon him self to look up my name, research to seek out my personal small business on Google, and attempt to deface the reputation of "MY" business, for the shortcomings his business's services ?! YES YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY
We chose to patron what we considerEDto be a "high end" nail salon located in Forest Acres, and ordered their top tiers of services offered, totally willing to pay the prices as listed for the "professional" services rendered. However, the services were definitely FAR from professional @ Aria Nail Spa, but they charged us for professional services we did not receive, which by law, is considered Breach of Trust (contract).
Unfortunately, my fiancé had already paid/checked out, before my nails were completed. Although, we immediately requested a refund, there was no manager or owner on the premises at that time. The manager later called to inform us she's been in contact with the owner, and we will be receiving a full refund. The OWNER then contacted us 3 days later, telling us their policy states they don't give refunds, and he feels that we received the services we paid for‼ I informed the owner that the services he advertise were to be performed by professionals.
The Forest Acres Police Department is holding onto Mr Henry K's info incase he decides to escalate his tactics towards me. The officer recommended that I make a report with Richland County as well since that is the county I reside in. Since this is an Internet crime, the jurisdiction can be moved. Police claim NO LAWs were broken yet...but he also said that this "episode" could be a building block for a legal case. Therefore Henry K continues with his unwanted attention, I WILL pursue legal action.
Needless to say this is unsettling. I let the officer knows I don't feel safe, especially now that Henry K knows I've reported him, and has already retaliated against me for something I wasn't responsible for. This man is evil and is displaying very disturbing behavior which is raising red flags‼ Ladies/gentleman, if this salon continues to employ this man (see photo) , use caution, or just steer clear and find another salon. I wish I did
It's unfortunate the owner had to be backed into a corner and threatened with legal action to give us a full refund, as he had originally agreed to do. The owner never called, he sent unprofessional text to try to remedy the situation. The owner was very clear in that he is taking NO RESPONSIBILITY for anything that happened, and admitting no wrongdoing, which is par for the course of how this whole situation played out.
When I complained about the appearance of my nails to the first nail tech, that's when he told me he was in training and that he will not charge me, "You no pay", he said. Even he knew they looked terrible.
AN EMPLOYEE @ ARIA NAIL SALON, LOCATED IN FOREST ACRES, IS ACTIVLEY STALKING ME ONLINE, AND I FEEL ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, TO WARN OTHERS TO CHOOSE A DIFFERENT SALON TO GET YOUR NAILS DONE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TAKING ANY CHANCES ON CREEPY MEN DISPLAYING SHADY BEHAVIOR, JUST TO GET NAILS DONE. read more
