An elderly woman went to a hair salon to dye her hair but ended up purchasing a treatment package for $880. Her son-in-law, surnamed Wong, told Shin Min Daily News that the 75-year-old, who is hearing-impaired, visited the salon located at Block 414, Yishun Ring Road on Nov 14. She had planned to dye her hair, which would have only cost her $38. Before the dyeing process was completed, however, the salon employee sold her a scalp care service, telling her that the treatment would only take a few minutes. «At that time, my mother-in-law was told that it would cost around $80, so she took out her bank card to pay,» said Wong. 'We have to shout every time we talk to her' Wong suspects that the salon employee took advantage of his mother-in-law's hearing impairment to sell her the treatment package. «We have to shout every time we talk to her so that she can hear us,» said Wong, highlighting the severity of her condition. He claimed that his mother-in-law was under the impression that «she had paid $80 plus» that day, unaware that she had purchased a 12-treatment package for ten times the price.
