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.

Paging Dr. Jill Scott?

Jill ScottIt’s hard not to love Jill Scott because that perfect balance of talent, celebrity, humility, kindness, confidence, and empowerment. I guess the directors over at CBS felt the same way. Jill Scott has been cast to play a role in the drama pilot “Second Sight.”If “Second Sight” gets picked up, it will air on CBS and focus on a lead detective with the New Orleans Police Department, who is hiding the fact that he has an ocular disorder that causes him to have hallucinations. Jill Scott will play Dr. Callier, a specialist that works closely with the detective, helping him with his ocular disease. This is only a pilot but hopefully it gets picked up so we can see Jill more often.
