A San Diego salon owner is seeking justice after two women were caught on camera apparently walking out without paying for hundreds of dollars' worth of beauty treatments.
Makeup and Style Salon owner Andrea Velez took to social media hoping to identify the supposed mother-daughter duo who allegedly skipped out on their New Year's Eve bill.
'It was crippling to not know what to do with feeling that violated,' Valez told Fox5.
Velez told the outlet that she typically requires customers to provide credit card information before their appointments.
But in this case one of the unidentified customers who called up claimed to be driving and unable to read off the credit card information.
Instead, she gave the understanding salon owner her Cash App information.
The mother and daughter booked almost $600 services with a $50 deposit and received multiple treatments over a five hour period.
They even posed up for Velez in videos she planned to use to promote her business on social media.

The women reportedly distracted the owner with offers of champagne and caviar before leaving without paying
But when it came to time to pay the mom reportedly asked Velez if she wanted a bottle of Veuve Clicquot and allegedly walked out before their payment could go through.
'They were very good at what they do and they were distracting me with gifts like a bottle of champagne and caviar and fruit and chocolates and told me they would send payment and never did,' she explained on social media.
'Immediately I called and I texted, and I said "hey, it didn’t go through".' Velez said she received no response.
She filed a police report and posted the women all over social media, in hopes of identifying them.
Velez had captured the exchange on her Ring camera and in the videos she took for social media.
