Tyrell Akindolani service theft drama explored as hairstylist accuses him of running out of salon to avoid paying additional fee for "time wasted"

A hairstylist from Smethwick, England, recently took to social media and accused a customer named Tyrell Akindolani of coming to her salon, BigHairCrush, for a haircut and fleeing without paying the full amount. The hairstylist reportedly charged him a fee for the "time wasted" after he rescheduled his appointment. Akindolani first allegedly agreed to the same via text but then fled from the salon.

The incident was captured on camera and the clip saw Tyrell get up, scroll through his phone, and run out of the salon without paying the hairstylist. The stylist shared the recording on social media and stated that he paid only 1P for his haircut. However, he owed the salon £30 for rescheduling, and £30 for the service.

Revealing that he owes the hairstylist £59.99, @bighaircrush took to social media and said:

"Breakdown of cost. £20 deposit. The remaining balance should have been £30. Total owing £60. If we're gonna be technical, he owes £59.99 as he did pay 1 Pence."

Tyrell Akindolani allegedly agreed to pay extra before his appointment

Big Hair Crush took to Instagram and shared a few pictures of Tyrell, which he had sent them for a mobile consultation.

They also shared some screenshots of the initial conversation they had with Tyrell, in which he allegedly agreed to pay an additional cost for rescheduling his appointment. He asked for his appointment to be pushed back by two hours as he "woke up late." When he was told he would be charged extra for the same, he replied, "I have a photoshoot tomorrow so I have to do today I will pay extra."

The stylist then clarified again that he would have to pay an "extra £30 for the time wasted and the push back of time."

The salon also shared a screenshot of the payments they received from Tyrell Akindolani. Social media users were taken aback when the hairstylist claimed that Akindolani and his brother allegedly did the same thing to two other salons as well. They called it "crafty" and said:

"May they reap what they sow."
