We all have our gripes about stylists from time to time, but on the other side of the coin when a stylist really puts in the work, takes pride in what she does and gives you her time, she deserves compensation.
This young lady who is being called the “Weave Runner” (real name Jessica) because she does just that, she gets her weave and then she, well… she runs! She has done this same thing to a couple of stylists in Detroit but some stylists are speaking out on social media, putting weave runner on blast.
According to one stylist she would make the appointment to get her hair done, and once it was done she would say she had to go to the ATM to get money. She would then, never come back!
“This young lady made an appointment with me to get a sew-in and She also got 4 BEAUTIFUL BUNDLES* of hair from me just to run out on paying. She mischievously lied and said she needed to get the remainder of the money from the ATM in the building where my suite is located. She left her jacket and purse and never returned. This has NEVER happened to me and to prevent it from happening again. EVERY NEW CLIENT MUST PAY IN FULL FOR YOUR SERVICE BEFORE YOU SIT IN MY CHAIR. AS ALWAYS I PROVIDED GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICES, SUPERIOR QUALITY IN HAIR AND AN AMAZING STYLE. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY CLIENTS & CUSTOMERS WHO PURCHASE HAIR FROM ME EVERYDAY.”
Even though the first stylist was never compensated by the client, there are still great people in the world because a local radio station was able to gather enough money to pay her.
The cost of the stolen weaves were over $200.oo for weave and closure* and from the looks of things the work was outstanding, see below the thank you note the stylist left on her instagram after she received the money from HOT 107.5 a morning show in Detroit.
“Goodmorning. I would like to thank everybody for their support and spreading the word about what happened to me. Wednesday night I prayed about it and let it go so I could positively get back to work Thursday Morning. God has really been working this situation out. I wish nothing bad on the young woman who is doing this. I hope she learns a lesson because stealing isn’t cool at all. I Want to apologize to the other stylist this has happen to as well. I want to thank HOT 107.5 THE HEAT MORNING SHOW FOR CONTACTING ME THIS MORNING AND SUPPORTING ME THEY ALSO SAID THEY WOULD PAY JESSICAS DEBT GOD IS SO GOOD TO GOOD PEOPLE. I was working all day yesterday so I couldn’t respond to the 1,000 ++++ messages, calls, emails etc. But TTTTHHHHHAAANNNKKKK YOU DETROIT AND EVERYBODY FOR STANDING UP FOR NOT JUST ME, BUT WHATS RIGHT & HAIR STYLIST AS A WHOLE. I LOVE YALL & APPRECIATE YALL”
As for weave runner? She hasn’t been caught yet; looks like somebody will be going to jail over some hair because we will definitely do our part to make sure her actions are reported and what we can see of her face is blasted everywhere.
Someone has to know this girl. Please find her and take the hair too
Jessica Lovin Dewberry on facebook
serious weave now I have seen it all.
More than once?!
That is why u get payment before services. That will prevent that whole problem and you don’t have to worry about someone running out without paying.
Lol damn
Lol damn Stacy Cassagnol
Wow this is crazy.
The struggle is real….smh
As if working people don’t have a hard enough time without being stolen from. She has allegedly been identified, her name is Jessica “Loving” Dewberry according to a Facebook source.
That’s her just went to her fb
I went to her FB also and she’s showing off her stolen hair
The police will get her soon. Idk how these criminals be flaunting their crime on facebook.
@Shibzzzee “: “Weave Runner”: Detroit Woman Scams Multiple … – http://t.co/zPpqy2aEjt http://t.co/FOol6PFCgK”
LOL STOP WEARING WEAVE
See, its people like this that make it hard for others. Now hair stylists will want the money up front. I have paid a stylist up front b4 and she was so busy doing multiple heads that she 4got I paid & didn’t believe me when I told her I had just handed her the cash! If it wasn’t for her customers defending she would’ve demanded more money from me. Didn’t go back to her. She later apologized, but i still didn’t go back.
So happy to be natural and my stylist has a card reader that she can attach to her iPhone to.
What does a card reader do?
Is it the machine to pay debit?
Yes, she has a small debit machine that she can attach to her iPhone. Its dope. Very organized and she can print a receipt if she needs to.
Seriously?!
Desiree Merriweather-Buish smh
She play far to much.. what good is that the stylist probably got paid far more then that at the end.. its not right though..
Mia LaTee Boyd she really wanted a sew in. Smh
She was tryna get cute on a budget
She didn’t have a budget lol
Mzangie Solidahh look at this ish
She is going to mess with the wrong one real soon!!! Hope that free hair last!!!
If there’s a last name, you can always press charges….suing the client in small claims court. Collect your money upfront; demand a 50% deposit when scheduling the appointment/the remaining 50% due before being serviced; have a card reader on hand to avoid leaving your work area; just like the braid shop, have each client fill out a hair service form, make it very detailed, collect payment, etc to have documentation when going to court for people like this…..I’m a hair stylist myself, anything to reach out to help my fellow stylist. Any service over $75 the client needs to pay 1/2 upfront
The struggle is real. If you cannot afford it there are cheaper ways people. People need to stop following these reality stars and stop trying to keep up with the Jones’s. You don’t know how the Jones’s are able to afford that life. People are starting to get locked up.
That’s crazy.
That’s messed up what she did. But I don’t agree with paying before my hair is done especially if its my first time going to that person
But thank God I do my own weaves
Gifty Asamoah smh
As stylist of color, we have to regain control of the integrity of our profession. This is a profession and we are supposed to be professionals. Stop letting anything slide because they are paying you. You can’t just go in any other shops and do whatever you want but, we allow our clients and even each other do it. Establish rules of business and uphold them. I guarantee if your clients respect you and your work, they will respect those rules. Those that have intent to break rules like this woman did, will suffer from loss of services.
And on the brighter side of this, this hairdresser is a BEAST.
Get your money first then do their hair smh it not that serious #so sad
So sad her face and story is posted all over social media. How can she hold her head up around people she knows she must be embarrassed. And she’s facing jail time. Was it worth it I think not.
Khadijah Yard weave runner tho
Hot mess
From the looks of her doesn’t seem she can run that fast without somebody catching her, guess not.
Wow that’s crazy
It almost happened to me..I asked her why she didn’t have her last stylist do her hair and she said cause she can’t go back cause she didn’t pay her..I was like ummm well they’re about to cut the machine off we need to get that payment now please..smh…I’ll put a glob of gel in their hair and send em on their way..glad I haven’t had that pronlem..
Broke bitch problems
Is it that Serious! For a weave!! Wat a shame!!
This chick is playing with fire. Messing with someone’s lively hood is dangerous.
Dam thats f****d up
Lol
Lol. I would be too embarrassed to even try this
Trifling
Times is hard I see…smh
If you can’t afford it the yo ass don’t need it … weave is a want not a need…. get a job boo boo… the thefts are making it bad for us honest folks.
Precious Gineé smdh
See &Athens someone put a bullet in f’ing ass or scalp her they would be wrong right?!?? That’s that BS!!
See &Athens someone put a bullet in f’ing ass or scalp her they would be wrong right?!?? That’s that BS!!
Sounds like she had a good thing going. Reminds me of Barber Shop. Doubt she’s coming back to pay when she gets some money.
She may have started a trend.
How?
LOL she a BB!!!
OMG! So Basic…:(
I have never sat down at a nail salon or hair salon no intention of paying… You know if you can or can’t afford the services before you get there. She would’ve gotten scalped that day…SO TRIFLING
I saw that yesterday wow
Damn Shame…. Now catch her an beat her Ass..
So glad I’m not in the hair industry anymore. I’ve had 3 clients over the course of 4 years get away without paying. That lady needs a good ole project beat down for playing with people’s money.
Ridiculous!
Everybody that knows her will see her face!
Well on the bright side it’s free advertisement for the stylists she messed over
Dam her weave looks good!!
But why the hell would she leave when they got her picture?
Stupidity.
no sah
That’s a doggone shame! Some people ruin it for all of us.
But by the look of her pink top
She must be a nurse
Don’t they make good money?
She looks like the girl Jessica jessi on fb
Looks like Jessica jessi I guess she changed her name on fb smh
Lol. So trifling.
Kiera Moon look. Lol. So trifling.
I went to school with Jessica and i also know her address i want to help
Tell her to pay up!
That’s terrible!
This is Funny, Crazy and Sad at the same time.
She’s wrong as two left shoes. I hope they catch her…
All the salons in a 500 mile radius should be alerted and sent her picture. She’s going to roll up on the wrong one and they will probably go to jail. Oh she’ll be in the hospital but I would hate to see someone go to jail because SHE stole from THEM!
They should have walked her to the ATM
Wow!! That chick is hard up. What comes around will go around. She can run but she can’t hide.
Her face is all over the Internet.
This is some sad stuff. If I was a hair dresser after seeing that story clients would have to pay me up front. That’s a lot time and money and hard work put into weaves. And for someone to steal from you that’s bad. I hope this chick gets caught.
We need a site to post all the runners, I have my runner photo ready to share, hello
Wow hahaha the bundle hype is ridiculous
Omg this nickname “weave runner.” F ing hilarious 😀
That’s just trifling!
She should be ashamed.
She is all over the internet….karma
Werk hunnny and they look good
Terrie Trusty Hooper well that’s different
Yes it is that’s some trifling ass s**t
Someone needs to snatch that heffa bald before she goes to jail!
Man she she needs her ass kicked
Scandalous
Lmao this bitch funny
Lol that’s messed up but funny. That ungrateful loser
I wonder if she thought about just taking the time to do her own hair?!?! When my hair was permed, if I didn’t have the money, the beauty salon would catch me on the next paycheck
Thank u
They will find her ass lol!!
Some hair stylist now for styles like this they get a down payment first
God doesn’t sleep
Wow! Some people are just plain trifling
Oh well…I guess charge it to the game
Surely, someone knows this thief. She’s playing a dangerous game.
Watch r bloodclat to no f*****g inappropriate b***h
Sad!
I ain’t going to lie who ever did her hair hook it up. Now I do blame the styless so what bcause if you never saw this person before I’m going to ATM machine with you. It would be different if she was a regular client. And the customer is just trifling bcause while u walking around with a fresh do u didn’t pay for you are taking food out of someone’s mouth.
If the client don’t want to pay in advance they can pay a deposit
Um no one has ever heard of Square? You can get it online from Walmart for $5.30. I am all about my money & if these stylists were too, they would have invested in a Square.
That is soo wrong her part. Watch her finances are always going to be slim. Karma is not to be played with.
Thats a shame!
I hope every stylist will put her picture up in their shop. I never sat in a stylist chair without the intention of paying for the service rendered….that’s some trifling a** s**t!!!
Robbery
Her name is Jessica Jackson she used to date my brothers friend until my brothers wife band her from her house for stealing her Debit card to order a pizza from domino’s the sad pathetic chick even had the nerve to act like she was doing some special kindness by ordering the pizza and offering them some.My poor sister in law went through so much shit when she was over her house, she didn’t even tell her she could live in her home she just took it upon herself to spend the night with my brothers friend damn near every night. Everytime I’d come over this bitch all up underneath the guys in the back yard while all the women were in the house together. ..awkward. I’m just glad my sis in law got her outta there. This bitch lives on wildermere on the west side I heard her adopted dad kicked her out for being fast she like 21
Her name is Jessica Jackson she lives on wildermere st on the west side. She stole my sisters debit card to buy pizza from domino’s she don’t live on wildermere anymore her adopted dad kicked her out for being a whorebag.
Karma is real and will happen to this young lady. Make no mistake…. she has not gotten away with anything. Bless your heart for being so forgiving of her. We need more people like you in the world. Btw: How did this happen twice?
