Blogger demands free haircut then threatens to damage shop's reputation when rejected
A blogger emailed a hair salon in VivoCity for a free hairstyling session, then threatened to damage the shop's reputation when she did not receive a response.
The owner of the salon had posted about the incident on facebook. STOMPers AMDK and babyjack both sent in screenshots of the posting.
According to the posting, the blogger had asked for free services at the salon, in return for publicity on her blog. She had apparently wrote in her email:
"I am very interested in working together with you in attaining a beautiful me. Let me know if you are interested and we can arrange a hairdo preferably on Wednesday 2nd Oct as I have a fashion show to attend at WooBar."
However, her request for the sponsorship was rejected. This led to the blogger to submit a counter-proposal, along with her blog traffic statistics.
When she did not receive a reply, she sent the shop owner another email calling him 'rude' and giving him 24 hours to acknowledge her email or she might 'blog about him and damage the reputation of the hair salon'.
Netizens have responded to the employee's posting, with many commenting on how rude and self-entitled the blogger sounds.
One also said, "People like her give bloggers a bad name," while AMDK asked if she represents a "new generation of bloggers" who resort to such tactics for freebies.
