Each individual is accountable, but I have to say if I were a website like the coupon one in question, if a client wants to advertise a deal I would be checking that their licenses are in place before allowing them to advertise through my site. Especially anything that may come with health risks.... Each person should do their research first, and to be honest there are too many salons who offer "beauty" treatments like laser hair removal which should only be done by a medical professional rather than a beauty professional. You can never be too careful when it comes to your health.

Eesh! Ladies, please make sure that you do your due diligence before using these companies (not the coupon companies, but the actual service). Very sad indeed! You have to admit though that after something like this people would hesitate to buy similar deals from the coupon company, the credibility is lost don't you think? Well, kind of. But the issue is that no one forces you to purchase the coupon...so technically it's your own free will. It's like holding a newspaper accountable for accepting advertising from a company that then gives a couple of bum services (I don't mean to diminish the nightmare these ladies went through). Consumers have to stop being naive and quick to buy a good deal.

This deal was offered by one of the group buying sites (starts with a C). Another one of them had an offer for keratin hair treatment at the same salon, but after complaints and feedback from people (including the lady who got burnt), they cancelled the offer. Maybe there is a reason why they charge so less for the treatments and yea maybe this is just one in a hundred case, but the question is why should there even be one bad case. I hope the women recover at the earliest.
