Facebook user 胡佩仪 recently share online on how a hair salon at Block 443 Clementi Ave 3, had advertised their $3 haircut and $29 hair treatment promotions outside their shop.
The shop in question is Organic Salon.
When she decided to take up the offer, she informed by the staff that there would be “extra” charges. After she told the staff that she only wanted to have a haircut, she was convinced to take up a package that would eventually cost hundreds.
She tried to make payment for the package in cash but she was told that the shop only accepts NETS. After handing over her NETS card, she realised to her horror that the staff had charged $1999 to her card without her permission.
When questioned, the staff said that the $1999 was for 10 hair treatments at $199 each. Fortunately, the payment did not go through as she did not have that much money in her account. The staff then tried charging various amounts of $599 to $399 without getting Hu’s consent. In the end, Hu was charged $199 for a single treatment.
She has stated that she is going to make a police report.
