A video is circulating on social media showing a Cuban woman who received a hair extension service arguing with the employees of Yanka's Hair Extensions after refusing to pay the amount for the service, which was 1,200 dollars.
"Hey, leave me alone, you're neither my mom nor my dad. I had the best intentions of paying you because I have money, how can you tell me no?" the woman is heard saying while being surrounded by three employees.
After one of them called the police, the woman even tried to snatch the phone before leaving the salon amid the complaints from the employees, who were telling her that she had to remove the extensions if she didn't pay for the work.
In a video later published by the Cuban business owner, the victim of the scam said that she sensed things were not going to go well with that client, but she added that "one cannot judge people by their appearance either."
She recounted that almost at the end of the service, when she was told it was time to pay, the woman caused the scene that has gone viral in recent hours.
"It is very sad that one is trying to get ahead and that all these shameless people come, because they are shameless, to try to rob you for a hair service, to cause problems over a hair service, which is not medicine, which is not a plate of food, which are hair extensions, it's a luxury, not a necessity," pointed out the affected person.
The business owner called what happened "very sad" and anticipated that it will not stop there.
"She got what she deserved," he added, without specifying whether he made the police report.
"Whoever comes to my salon, I am going to defend myself. It's enough already that one does nothing. It's enough already that they come, make your employees work four and five hours, and come to steal from you. Whoever comes to my salon to mess with me, I am going to defend myself. I am on my property. One goes through a lot of hardship to get ahead," he emphasized.
The Cuban took the opportunity to offer her social media to other colleagues who have been victims of similar incidents to disseminate photos of the scam artists.
"The fight is not going to be easy. It is very sad that you are trying to get ahead in this country, that you pay your taxes, and that a shameless person comes to steal from you," he concluded.
The video from Only in Dade that documented the unpleasant scene has more than 2,000 comments, the vast majority lamenting attitudes that reflect so poorly on the Cuban community.
