Andrea contacted me through email to see if I was interested in doing her hair for a Reality teveision program she was working on.

After searching the net about her, I decided to meet with her and get more information.

When we met, she told me the show would be abouther busy life as a mother, wife, and celebrity in Palm Springs. I would do her hair for free in return for my name as well as my salon name mentioned in the ceedits. Until that happened, I would need to invoice all the work done and give it to her production company to be paid for work done up to taht point.

It started out just being her, but soon was followed by hair services for her 2 children as well. From there, nail services were dded on for all 3 of them. All to be invoiced.

I was suppose to be one of the "behind the scenes" people, until she realized how I joked with her and her children and she thought it would be great to have that as part of the show. I was to have a character written for me and would have a script. Since I would then be on the show, I would be paid accordingly.

No camera ever came into the salon other than her cell phone to take pictures of all the changes I did on her (hair color, keratin tretaments, etc.) and her children.

During this, I was having a salon built in a new location to later move the current salon into. She wasnted me to put in a water feature in the new location by a company who was putting in a fountaing in her yard. She ahd given them the same strory and I could get one for free as well as part of the show. I didn't want one for liabilty reasons as well as there wasn't any room for it.

She had also had some cosmetic work done on her face.  All for the show and with the same premise.

"Beond the Candelabra" was being filmed in Palm Springs around the same time. Andrea called us and needed her hair and nails done becuae she was to have a speaking part. Except, that same night, our local news station reported that the filming had ended in Palm Springs.

It was at this point, I decided enough was enough and told Andrea I didn't like being lied to, and she would need to pay me for all the services we ahd done up to that point. She had agreed to pay and even started to make installment payments, but never came close to paying it all.

I recieved a phone call (from the person who wrote about her and the animals she never delivered) to hear wht I had been though. When Andrea found out about it, she called me and threatened me with Liable and if I tried to take her to Small Claims Court, she would file for bankruptcy.

I chaulked it up to a bad experience, We lost close to $2,000.00. 

That was all in 2012. I never thought about it again until someone asked me what ever happened. After my curiousity hit I looked her name up again on the net and saw this website. Since the other author refferd to us (not by name), I decided to give my side of the story.
