I had a very bad experience with the New Station Beauty & Hair at the Bendemeer branch recently. It is located at the Exit B of Boon Keng MRT station. Initially, my husband signed up for the $10 promotion haircut package, which entitled not only him but my family for $2 and $3 haircut during weekdays and weekend respectively for a year.
I went for a normal haircut one day but was being hard sell by the hair stylist into signing up for hair loss treatment package for 4 with 1 time free at $236. I have some minor hair loss problem but still under control. In fact, I was being brain washed by these unscrupulous people into thinking that if not treated early now, I would go into complete baldness soon. This is called the scare tactics. Next, one Malaysian even jeered at me that I looked like young lady in front but auntie at the back due to the slight baldness. That is called the jeer tactics.
I insisted to try one time hair loss treatment at $59 first to test out the effectiveness. The Malaysian and PRC hair stylists kept on insisting to try out the package rather than giving the 1 time trial. In the end, I had to make the payment in order to leave the place in peace or in a piece.
That one time hair loss treatment proved to be disastrous. My hair became more oily than before and probably not suitable at all. I went to the branch again on a Sunday to ask for a refund on the remaining items at $177 due to poor result. One of the female Malaysian hair-stylists tried to buy time by insisting that the administrative office is closed on Sunday and promised that the admin girl would call me on Monday morning 10am. This is called the buying time tactic. Never received any call what so ever the next day and off I went during lunch time to ask for an explanation. I was greeted rudely and being accused of creating a scene at that branch. In the end, that female Malaysian hair-stylist called up the police and I had to retreat from that **** hole.
Quite a drama but it really happened
