I've been a victim of this studios myself, the usual story... last year before my birthday (Nov 2010) they've called me saying that I won a competition, full makeover so I thought let me treat myself. They asked for a £50 deposit refundable on the day. After reading online about them, I did not want to attend and I've been trying since then to get my £50 deposit back but no luck! It's been a year now they have my money, wasting my time with emails and calls back and forwards! They insist I have to go and complete the session to get my money back, but I work 7days/week and don't have time for this nonsense! Especially that I know they want to rip me off!
These guys are sneaky! SAPPHIRE STUDIOS HAS CHANGED THEIR NAME TO ORCHID STUDIOS! They're trying to scam more people!
Please be aware: SAPPHIRE STUDIOS = ORCHID STUDIOS! Same location, same people, same scheme to rip off people
I just want my money back and for someone to do something about these thiefs that keep changing their name but keep their deceiving nature!
Company Business Name: Sapphire Studios
Country of complaint: United States
Now called Orchid Studios. Planning to arrange a passive protest outside their office with media coverage, because no action has been taken despite the number of complaints made against them.
