Blow hairdressers ate my coat

    A month ago, I went to Blow hairdressers on Baggot street, they gave my coat to someone else so I had none when I left. After a few days of calls and a threat of being on air from Joe Duffy show! etc, they said they would send me a cheque. Here we are almost 4 weeks later, and nothing. They won't even call me back now. I've emailed Joe Duffy but really I am thinking small claims court would be so much better.... So angry, its only 60 euro ffs! :mad::mad:

    I have had similar problems with them. I definately think the small claims court is the way to go tbh.

    Er, here's an idea.

    Why don't you go back into the shop and ask for it?

    Even if my back wasn't severely up at this stage, its just such a basic problem and so easy to fix.... its so insulting that they haven't sorted it out for me :mad:

    Go in the next time you need a haircut, then just tell them you aren't paying at the end of it.

    they completely destroyed my hair. i only went in for a wash and blow dry. i went nuts in the shop and refused to pay. the girls were too busy talking about how drunk they were in Leeson Street the night before and how they didnt get home until 5am to listen to me.

    When i refused to pay this massively fat one - i mean huge, stood in the front doorway and demanded i pay.

    i politely told her to go fcuk herself

    TBH, I just want the cost of my coat refunded to me, I don't want to have to go back or be spoken to rudely again. I totally know who you are talking about too!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, Orca fat!

    Shocking I know!

    14th July 2003 - Blow announces www.TheSalon.ie
    Starting later this month Blow will be bradcasting live images from it's salons to help customers know how busy they are before they chance a drop-in for a Blow Dry without an appointment.


    Have a look and see if any of the hairdressers are wearing your coat!!!

    Well I doubt they KNEW the other person was taking your coat.

    In that case i'd expect them to call any customers there whose number they had and ask them, and if they couldn't find it, give you a cheque for the replacement value.

    (So yeah, fair enough, they messed up by not being able to track down who took your coat, but it wasn't them that did it! It sounded to me like you were implying they just 'lost' it)

    Ook, well firstly, how did my saying they gave another customer my coat make you think I was saying they lost it? and what makes you think I'm NOT just talking about a cheque to replace it? i think you should read the post again more carefully

    Secondly, they did ring the other customers and eventually after a week and after the Joe Duffy show threatening them, they did offer to send me out a cheque.

    You work there?

    I misread the original post, sorry.

    At the end of a day, if they do send you a cheque, it's more than they had to do (though if they said they would and they're delaying i see why you're pissed off)
    You obviously work there! Are you Jessica by any chance?

    Check my other posts here, I can assure you i'm not jessica, a hair dresser, or female :)

    I disagree that its more than they have to do - they said Can I take your coat? I presumed I was getting it back! not that it would be left somewhere anyone could just take it!
    Apart from this, truce :o

    He/she is very defensive.

    When you go to the hairdressers, you have no choice but to give them your coat. They have a due of care to the customer to look after said coat. If said coat is eaten, well then the saloon is liable.
