Hi Everyone

I have been invited by Karen Shelton the owner of this site to put right what has been going on at hair boutique.  I am the owner and sole administrator of Nails n Stuff and would like to make it clear to everyone that I do not in anyway support any inappropriate behaviour on my site.  I have set up my site to encourage and support people in the beauty and hair industries and personal issues between people on this board should not get in the way of enjoying my sites benefits.   My moderators have been an asset to my forum areas and I invite you to put personal issues behind you and concentrate on using our boards for what they are intended.  If you have issues with a posting in my site such as funny and eccentric Thon01’s postings you can always either laugh or start a thread of your own.  I do not know what went on with you all personally but all I can say is I have no involvement and neither does my site I own it and do not want it to have a bad reputation as it has always been developed for good intensions.  I have good positive editorial in many magazines and not everyone can be wrong.  My moderator has been a keen contributor to the hair forum having won a competition for a banner on my site and feel very unhappy that you should dismiss my site due to any personal disputes among members.

Regards

I wonder if you would mind clarifying what exactly you mean by "put right what has gone on at Hairboutique"?  What do you think has gone on.  Many of our heads are spinning.

   If you mean that we have honestly shared experiences in clear defiance of hairdressing companies and advertisers in order to pursue the highest quality diy extensions, then you are correct.

     If you also mean that we have failed to roll over and take one in the hiney from a known huckster, you are also correct.

     As for your poster Thon,  His or her humor is so thickly veiled, no one failing to suffer from deep paranoia would bother to take offense.  Sherrie is certainly bigger than that, as a reading of her generous posts would tell you.  I presume Thon's post was meant in jest.... had it been serious it would have been pathologically symptomatic.  It was not, however, about Hair Extensions, which is what this forum is about.

     You can impress me, You can win me over.  Tell me something I don't already know about Hair Extensions.  I don't mean that self-righteously.  If I want guff I'll get it at home or at work.  It's just that I honestly find your post obtuse (at least) and vaguely insulting.  Guilt will not bring many to your forum.

     I have been thinking lately, that I really really appreciate Hairboutique for hosting this forum.  We should all buy something online to show our appreciation for this great place.

Best Wishes.  Truly.

Hi Emma, welcome to the board!  I dont think anyone has anything bad to say about you or your website, its just the moderator of your hair board keeps coming onto this board and harrassing people and sending them nasty messages.  For me personaly, her being a moderator on your site stops me visiting as she has been a very nasty person even though it appears on your site quite the opposite.

At the moment, in your hair forum, every second post she talkes about is one of her products.

Sorry,

right - emma, i think you will find everyone here is incredibly helpful, sensible, and supportive.

i think the issue is not inappropriate behavior on your site. it seems that the issue is that someone using your board's link, acting as a spokesperson for your board as it were, came to this site and acted in a very inappropriate and unprofessional way. this person/people has/have done this before. the person who's name has recrudesced in many different forms basically harasses people, plain and simple - via PM's as well as the open forum. there have also been some very shady shady business things perpetrated by this person.

although i myself was not a recipient of a PM it is honestly a pain to have someone come on repeatedly to peddle, or to ask repeatedly for free samples, or to besmirch people's names, etc etc etc and not to contribute one iota. not once. i think her only contribution was offering up your site.....i think that if a moderator of yours does act in such an irresponsible, rude, and quite frankly bizarre manner - enough to get banned from the board - you should really look into that as opposed to taking a "i'm not sure what went on with you all" approach. and i think that alone quite frankly does reflect negatively on your board - i myself will never visit there knowing the shenanigans that happened here as a result of someone representing your board.

i would encourage you to do a little search of the posts your moderator has made here under various names if you are interested in undestanding why she/they were problematic. if then you choose to have this person represent your site i think it does reflect negatively on your board - in my humble opinion.
