La Bella Hair Salon - Bernadette Pepe, Tried to lock me in her store and FORCE me to pay 150 dollars for an Updo! North Branford Massachusetts

'm from Massachusetts and i went to a wedding in Connecticut this past weekend. I had to find a place near the wedding to get an updo. I searched on the Internet and found a salon called "La Bella". The salon sounded "upscale" so i booked an appointment.

I showed up to the salon an hour before i had to be at bride's house to take wedding pictures. As i drive up to the salon i was a bit nervous because the place looked like a Fantastic Sams because it is located in a small strip mall but since i was in a last minute situation i had no other options. I walked in and was met by the owner named "Bernadette". She started to put my hair up and i didn't like the way she was doing it so i told her to just take it down and put it in a French twist and i fixed the front of my hair because she was clueless about any of the current in style updo's.

Anyway, now that she was done doing my hair for the second time that literally took less than 5 mins (which i still wasn't satisfied) i got up to pay and the receptionist told me the price was $150.00. I couldn't believe it! I asked her if she said a dollar fifty and she said no -- ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS!! She said since she had to do my hair twice (keep in mind the second time i did the front and she put the back in a French twist that took 2 mins to do) that she had to charge me twice -- $75.00 x 2 = $150.00. I was appalled and told her i wasn't paying that. She then proceeded to try to lock me in the store and told me she was going to call the police if i didn't pay. At this point i had no choice to pay her because i was already running late for wedding pictures.
