When a client doesn’t pay, the local salon ends up losing money.
A client of an Oklahoma City salon committed a heinous act of theft by leaving without paying for her services. As a result of the event, the small beauty services business V’s Aesthetics lost roughly $200.
The identity of the woman who entered the salon using a false name and enjoyed treatments for more than two hours before quickly leaving without paying was caught on camera by the salon’s surveillance system. Salon owner Vanessa Resendiz voiced her dismay at the occurrence, highlighting the dedication their staff has shown throughout the years.
After the consumer used what turned out to be a counterfeit credit card to pay, things started to seem fishy. After claiming to need another card from her car, she disappeared without a trace, causing services to go underpaid and hopes to be dashed.
Resendiz took to social media to share her story, pleading for help and drawing attention to the importance of fellow company owners being vigilant. She bemoaned the action, saying, “I just think that was a very horrible thing to do,” and urged people to be careful in similar positions.

The incident has been investigated by the Oklahoma City Police Department, who are asking the public for any information that could help them apprehend the perpetrator. The individual’s hasty escape and efforts to avoid capture lead authorities to believe they may have prior expertise with such scams.
According to yahoo, Even though the salon is facing financial difficulties, Resendiz is holding out hope that justice will be served. In her words, “Every salon owner, just be careful, you know, be aware,” she echoed the advice of many small business owners who face the difficult balancing act of making a living and serving their communities.
