She stole my hair!

I mentioned on here before how the same exact thing happened to me! i found this girl on Craigslist, have her 4 bundles and said i wanted it all sewn on a u-part. came back the next day, she put 4 dookie braids in my head with a sliver of braiding hair in each braid, sewed it on and i swear it felt like not even 1.5 packs of hair. i went to my final for school, and that night texted her. she said she didn't put in the "wet piece" cus it was too wet. so i'm furiously asking her why didn't she tell me that when I kept asking her cus the "wet piece" was in fact an entire bundle. her response, "it didn't seem like a whole bundle". my dad goes to pick up the hair the following morning. the "wet piece" was not even 2 inches across! i was so furious i was texting her saying how could this be the only hair left? this little baby piece just so happened to be too wet to put into the wig when the remainder of the wet bundle dried up enough?" all she kept telling me was that she must've texted me wrong cus that's all that was left. pathetic.

^^^This would be proof, but be advised that depending on the laws of the OP's particular state, it could be against the law to record without the stylist's knowledge. You'd be up on charges then.

I wish there was some way you could keep the appointment, have her take down the wig and (since it doesn't fit anyway) YOU proceed to dismantle it in front of her. See how many "bundles" the hair on the wig makes up. This is where having a witness with you would also help.

Just a gentle suggestion, after all of this craziness--why not check out youtube and you could learn to make the wigs yourself. YT'ers like "teazedblackpearls" "thomasadrianna" have some very, very thorough instructions. You'd have no worries about theft. It'd be trial and error, but it is so worth doing your own once you know what to do.

Wow. Just wow. I can't give you any advice that is legal but let's just say that bish would suffer. This is why you can't trust people with these kinds of things. People were not raised right and they are just too damn low down. I would never hand over six bundles of hair to anyone. Nor would I want to be in the position to take someone's hair and make a u-part because there is just to much leeway for bullsh*t to occur. At this point it is pretty much your word against hers.

One idea though is once you guys take the hair off you could weigh it in front of each other. Is that practical? But she has no intention of giving that hair back though. If she was bold enough to steal it there is no way she will give it back.

Maybe next time you could take it to an actual seamstress (if they do that sort of thing) and not a weave stylist. Hopefully they wouldn't have any motivation to steal your hair. But the best bet would be learning to do it yourself.

Man, two things I hate: a liar and a thief.

Lol, love it... Call a pastor

I would just show up WITH someone of course, just in case she tries to act crazy. Tell her she never told you when to be there so you assumed anytime would be fine to come, and you figured then would due, lol. Of course like everyone else is saying have her take it down to show you or prove that she did use all the hair and not just stashed it away for her personal use.
