Scammers are Cloning Our Salon to Steal Your Bookings

Dear Customers,

We need to warn you about a sophisticated scam targeting our salon. Scammers have created fake profiles and websites to trick you into booking through them instead of us.

How We Discovered This (The First Incident)

Last week, a customer arrived for her appointment, but she wasn't in our system. She was understandably very angry and confused. She showed us an email confirmation she received, but it wasn't from us.

Because the fake site looked so convincing, it was incredibly hard for her to believe it wasn't ours. We even sat down and walked through her booking process together. We Googled the salon, and sure enough, a fake, almost identical website popped up first. We want to be clear: if this happens to you, it is normal to feel embarrassed or defensive. These scammers are professionals at tricking people. We don't blame you at all; we just want to protect you.

Real vs. Fake: How to Spot the Difference

To help you identify the scam, please look at the difference between our official booking page and the scammer's page:

Fake Instagram account

The scam has now evolved. Yesterday, two more lovely customers arrived with the same issue. We discovered that scammers have cloned our Instagram profile to intercept new customers who search for us after a friend recommends our salon. They even copied our old photos!
