A video circulating on social media captures the moment a Cuban woman who received a hair extension service at Yanka's Hair Extensions salon in Miami argued with the staff after refusing to pay the $1,200 fee. "Hey, leave me alone, you're not my mom or dad, I had every intention of paying because I have money, how can you say I don't?" the woman is heard saying as she is surrounded by three employees.
One of the salon employees attempted to call the police, prompting the woman to try to snatch the phone before leaving the salon amid protests from the staff, who insisted she had to remove the extensions if she wasn’t going to pay for the service.
In a video later posted by the Cuban owner of the salon, the business owner shared her experience, saying she had a bad feeling about the client from the start but added, "You can't judge people by their appearance." According to the owner, near the end of the service, when it was time to pay, the woman created the scene that has now gone viral.
Owner's Reaction to the Incident
"It's very sad that we are trying to move forward and these shameless people attempt to steal from us for a hair service. It’s not medicine or food; it's hair extensions, a luxury, not a necessity," the affected owner lamented.
The proprietor described the incident as "very sad" and indicated that it wouldn't end there. "She got what she deserved," she added, without specifying if she had filed a police report. "Anyone who comes to my salon to mess with me, I will defend myself. We work too hard to get ahead," she emphasized.
The Cuban business owner also invited other colleagues who have had similar incidents to share photos of the scammers on her social media. "The fight won't be easy. It's very sad that you are trying to get ahead in this country, paying your taxes, and then someone comes to rob you," she concluded.
The video, posted by the popular Only in Dade, has garnered over 2,000 comments, most of them lamenting the behavior that puts the Cuban community in a bad light.
