A Salon at Clementi has once again gone viral for overcharging customers by using false advertising.
Back in Jan 2020, Singapore Uncensored reported about them overcharging and they are doing it again.
Here is the victim’s story
Please beware of this particular hair salon located in Block 443 Clementi Avenue 3- Organic salon
Today, my dad went for a simple hair cut at Organic Salon. He went in with a $3 hair cut voucher distributed outside the hair salon, never expected that he entered into a black shop.
Conversation between my dad and the Malaysian male hair stylist
Dad: 剪头发 $3对吗？(Cut hair $3 right?)
Hairstylist: 对 $3 (Yes)
Dad: Ok
Hairstylist: 好我们先去洗头 ( let’s go wash hair now)
Dad: 为什么要洗头？？？？(why must wash hair?)
Hairstylist: 你的头发很多细菌！要洗头才可以剪 (because your hair is full of bacteria. Must wash then can cut!) My dad thought that due to covid virus so must wash hair first.
Dad: 哇 $3 还有洗头啊 ok lor (wow $3 include wash hair ah. Anyway, The back of my dad shirt get soaking wet after his ‘professional’ hair wash nvm)
Hairstylist: *Did a scalp scan* Uncle 你需要做头皮治疗 不然那些细菌会导致暴血管！(Uncle you need do do hair treatment leh if not the bacteria will lead to your blood vessel burst!!!!) omg this is really funny. 😱😂
Dad: 不要紧啦 剪头发就好。 (No i just want the $3 hair cut)
Hairstylist: *cut hair* 走我们去洗头 (let’s go wash hair again)
Dad: 为什么还要洗？？？？？(why must wash again????)
Hairstylist: 要洗多一次,不然你的头皮会痒 (must wash again if not you will feel itchy)
Apparently the hairstylist keep pushing for the few thousand dollars hair treatment packages but failed. Bill came $35.
Dad: 不是$3 meh?? (I thought $3 haircut????)
Hairstylist: 对啊 $3 剪头发 但是你洗2次头发啊。(yes correct $3 is for haircut but you washed 2 times hair right )
Dad quickly paid and left feeling disappointed and upset with his uneven haircut…
We hope that this post could raise some awareness on such atrocious scams. Please look out for your parents or grandparents because they love to target unsuspecting elderly!
