Sharmella does it again!
"Fatty, Fatty two by four," we thought we heard her sing ... oh dear, we told her to be-have! And now it's all over the news! Names and locations changed to try and stop the protesters outside of our door.
Michelle Fonville said her experience at _________ turned from pleasant to painful in a matter of moments.
“I was humiliated. I almost cried. Tears were forming in my eyes,” said Fonville.
She said things went downhill on Monday after the salon manager gave her the bill for her manicure, pedicure and eyebrow arch.
Fonville realized that she had been overcharged by $5.
“I said, ‘I’ve been overcharged. She may have made an error,’” said Fonville. “She broke it down, then told me she charged me $5 more because I was overweight.”
Fonville said she couldn’t believe what was happening and recounted the experience with Channel 2 Action News reporter Eric Philips.
“I said, Ma’am, you can’t charge me $5 more. That’s discrimination because of my weight,” said Fonville.
Sharmella told Philips that the surcharge was due to costly repairs of broken chairs by overweight customers. She said the chairs have a weight capacity of 200 pounds and cost $2,500 to fix.
“Do you think that’s fair when we take $24 [for manicure and pedicure] and we have to pay $2,500? Is that fair? No,” Sharmella told Philips.
Sharmella said she refunded the $5 surcharge, and told Fonville to take her business elsewhere.
“I didn’t want to argue with her about $5. I wanted to make her pleased with her service,” Sharmella said. “I screamed … I said, ‘I’m sorry, next time I cannot take you.'”
“The word has to get out there that these people are discriminating against us because of our weight. I mean come on, we’re in America. You can’t do that,” said Fonville.

Hair Hall of BLAME!
BRUCE, Miss. (WTVA) -- A trip to the hair salon leaves one customer partially bald. Now owner of the shop and the power provider are in a debate over who is to blame.
When a woman goes into a salon, the last thing she probably expects is to come out partially bald .
"I was getting color put in and the lights went out and there was no way to get it out of my hair in time," the woman, who did not want to reveal her identity, said.
Tessa Mingo, the owner of People's Choice Hair Salon said her customer's hair is the end result of her salon's power being cut off by mistake without warning.
"I know I just paid my bill on the 19th so there was no reason for my power to get cut off," Mingo said.
Mingo showed WTVA News the papers to prove she paid, but she said the money she gave the power association was applied to her residential account rather than her business account. That led to her power being disconnected, and she said it leaves her credibility in question.
Mingo said, "If she goes home to try to explain it to her friends and relatives and family, will they come back?"
WTVA went to the Pontotoc Electric Power Association to get the other side of the story.
WTVA News reporter Kalisha Whitman said, "We received a complaint from a customer saying that her power was cut off at her beauty salon by mistake. Do you have a statement regarding that?"
Bob Wells, the district manager of the Bruce location of the Pontotoc Electric Power Association said, "Only that the fact that we can't discuss customer accounts because a privacy act is involved that would be as far as I can go. I'm sorry."
For the customer the issue is not about who is at fault, but rather the price she had to pay.
"I feel terrible about this situation because I came in and I wasn't expecting to leave out like this," the woman, who did not want to reveal her identity, said.
The power has been restored, but the debate over who is to blame has yet to be resolved. However, the customer said the price she had to pay drastically changed her life.
Pontotoc Electric Power Association does not service the water, however the owner of the salon said she needed the hot and cold water properly remove the chemicals from her customers head. The owner said the hot water did not work as a result of the power being disconnected.
