Two women walked out of a San Diego salon after racking up nearly $600 in beauty treatments—without paying a dime. The owner, Andrea Velez, shared her story online, warning other small business owners to stay alert for similar scams. Despite the women posing for promotional videos and showering staff with gifts, they vanished before their payment cleared. Now, Velez is tightening her payment policies and urging others to do the same. How do you think local businesses can protect themselves from this kind of theft? Have you seen similar stories in your neighborhood? #Beauty #SanDiego #SmallBusiness
