While working in the service industry, small business owners sometimes run the risk of being bamboozled by clients who try to wiggle out of paying. One Louisiana hair stylist by the name of Crystal Collins recently became a hot topic of social media discussions for cutting out a little girl’s braids after it began to seem like the girl’s mother wasn’t going to pay her. She then posted photos of the child on Instagram—a decision that attracted mixed opinions.
“One thing I don’t play about is my money. I try to be patient with everybody but I will not get played,” she captioned the photo of the child with her braids cut out.
After receiving a ton of harsh criticism for her decision, she decided to further explain her actions. According to Crystal, the child’s mother made an appointment to bring her in to have her hair braided. After waiting close to two hours for the woman and child to arrive, she did the girl’s hair while her mother ran errands.
“When I was almost finished, I texted the child’s mother and told her she can come,” Crystal wrote. “She said okay about 20 minutes.”
After waiting for the woman for almost another two hours, Crystal said the child’s mother claimed to have a flat and so she drove the child home herself. Interestingly, once they arrived to the apartment building as directed by the child’s mom, she didn’t pick up her phone. It was later revealed by the girl that her mom had actually directed them to her grandmother’s house.
