SHE IS A THIEF. STAY FAR AWAY.
I went to Shakeyra on 11/06/2018 to get a full sew in with a frontal. I had a frontal piece and 4 bundles, 16, 18, 20, and 22 inches. Everything seemed great and she started, beginning to sew down my frontal. Did a good job on that. She then proceeded to tell me that 4 bundles is too much, and that she could only fit 3. Okay... fine I'll do 3. She said not to do the 22 inch. We were just gonna do the 16, 18 and 20 inch because "I don't need that much in my head". Not what I asked for but okay...fine. She told me to unravel my bundles, and silly me, I do so. I unravel my 16 inch, 18 inch and set them down on the counter like she asked. I was working on unraveling the 20 inch, and she said that I was "taking too long" so she grabbed the 20 inch out of my hand and put it behind her as she started to continue sewing down my frontal. I started to get weird vibes out of no where, and started to think that she was trying to steal my bundle. By this time, she had twisted my chair so that I could not see her behind me. I had heard horror stories like this before but I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. I became settled once I saw my own hair being installed at the bottom. But then I instantly became worried as the length did not seem long enough to be 20 inches, as the longest goes in the back.
Weird vibes continued to stay with me. I didn't want to think badly of her so I tried to curb my suspicion. After she finished, she installed another bundle and I didnt think much of it. As she got closer to where my frontal was, I realized that she was closing it up. There would be no more room to put anymore bundles in based on the way she spaced them out (she did this deliberately). So... in total she installed TWO bundles in my head. Plus a frontal. I was supposed to have FOUR in my head. I wasn't happy because it looked WAY too THIN. I bought 4 bundles for a reason- I had silky straight hair, and in order for it to look full, you need at LEAST 3 bundles. I had 4 and she only used 2. Fail.
Anyway, I forced a smile and left the shop. Paid her $250.00. I didn't want to go back to her so I went somewhere else, a place that I trusted. Kool Kutz Salon...about 15 mins away. Thank God I went there because they fixed me up right away. They managed to add all of my bundles in, despite the weird spacing Shakeyra used in laying in my bundles.
I told them about my experience and they said that she was trying to steal my bundles. And because she couldn't and because she knew that I sensed her bad vibes, she did a crappy job and didnt sew in all my bundles after the closure. I asked them if what I had installed in my hair was 20 inches. No, expert opinion said it was not 20 inches... more like 18. My stylist confirmed my suspicions. And I totally agreed with them. Shakeyra stole my bundle and switched it out with her own bundle and tried to act like it was my 20 inch bundle.
I texted her an hour later, saying that I measured the hair and so did another stylist, and that what I had in my hair was not 20 inches. I texted her this again... and of course she never responded back. I hadn't even accused her of stealing...yet.
I called her 45 minutes later and repeated what I said. She played confused, and tried to tell me that I should check my bundles and check with the vendor. She said the vendor sold me the wrong hair length. (I know what hair I had, and had even held them to my head to envision how they would look in an install. Clear differentiation between 16, 18, 20 and 22). She said that she didn't have my bundle. She said that I should go measure my hair again. She gave me a whole sob story of how she would never do something like this because she wouldn't want it done to her or anyone else. Long story short... she got upset that I accused her of stealing my bundle. No more calling me "sweet heart, sweety". That changed in an instant. She then proceeded to curse me out. She called me a "dumb b****, stupid b****, dirty b****, blomblacot"... Everything nasty... you name it. That's what she called me and then hung the phone up on me. A customer who had just paid $250 for her services.
It was almost comical how she changed from the beginning of the conversation to the end. You know when people are put on the hot spot, and they start acting confused, and start stuttering? And then they over talk and tell you things that have nothing to do with your question to try to throw you off? And then they get so mad when you dont buy into their bulls*** so they resort to their true colors. And they become raging demons.
Lmfao
So I overpaid AND got stolen from. Thanks Shakeyra!
