Introduction

Scammers are targeting clients looking to get their hair braided by using real stylists’ work and creating fake social media pages.

Reports of Scams

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is receiving reports of scams targeting individuals wanting braids. Scammers take pictures from legitimate stylists and post them on fake social media pages.

Modus Operandi

Potential clients find the fake pages and book appointments, often making small deposits. Clients realize they have been scammed when they do not hear back from the supposed stylist on the appointment day.

Impact on Legitimate Businesses

Real stylists like Porsche Hensley, who has been braiding hair for over 10 years and owns Divine Innovation 615 in Nashville, are affected. Hensley reported instances where clients arrived for appointments, only to find out they were scammed.

Precautions to Avoid Scams

BBB advises not to pay for the service in full before the appointment. Visit the stylist’s location before booking. Verify the stylist’s work by searching for them online and including the word “scam” after their name. Ask for the stylist’s license number and verify it.

Continuing the Business

Despite the scams, stylists like Porsche Hensley remain undeterred and continue their work.

Conclusion

Scammers exploiting the popularity of hair braiding are causing issues for both clients and legitimate stylists. Clients are advised to take precautions to ensure they are booking authentic services.

LIVE 101.5’s LADY LA WORKS TO CHANGE THE LIVES OF AUTISTIC CHILDREN

la-bioLIVE 101.5 (KZON-FM) Morning show air personality Lady La, in conjunction with Hi-Health stores, spearheaded an effort to raise money for Arizona Autism United. The fund-raising program, which featured the sale of the 2014 Lady La Calendar, raised a total of $2,426.00. “I would just like to recognize the efforts of Hi-Health, and thank them for partnering with me on this project to raise funds for kids who need it,” said Lady La. “Therapy is crucial to those with developmental delays or disabilities. In this life, counting the positives is what gets you to a place to see results, in the gym and in life.” The 2014 Lady La Calendar went on sale in late 2013, and was available for sale through the holiday season and into the early part of 2014 at over 40 Phoenix area Hi-Health locations. 100% of every dollar raised from the sale of the calendars went directly back to Arizona Autism United, a nonprofit organization providing services to children with autism spectrum disorders in Arizona. The calendar contains twelve months’ worth of ultra-hi-res photos of LIVE 101.5’s Lady La pumping iron in the gym, relaxing “casual-style” after her work-out, and showing off her healthy body in tasteful swimwear shots. Additionally, each month includes a motivational quote from Lady La to help those who need it get off their couch and get moving.
