Victory Crossing Shopping Center — Local services in Portsmouth

I had the WORST SHOPPING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE at KING BEAUTY SUPPLY, located in Victory Crossing, right next door to Tropical Smoothie. If you are shopping for a beauty supply store, here's my advice: DO NOT GO TO KING BEAUTY SUPPLY-unless you want to be treated like a shoplifter.While wig shopping on 5/10, I made the mistake of going in there. I entered to find a line of customers being helped by the owners/employees at the front. I made my way to the wig section and saw a sign posted saying "no cell phone photography". Since I wasn't prepared to buy that day, I knew I wouldn't be able to snap any pics of the wigs. I took my notebook out of my purse and jotted down some quick reference information: style, color, brief description so I could remember it. I had planned to come back and purchase it-if it was still there. There was no price tag so I went to the front and asked the Asian female for a price check. She followed me to the back and when she saw my notebook asked me what I was doing. I replied that since there was no picture taking allowed, I was jotting down some information. She flipped out and raced to the front where she told the Black man behind the register, the owner I assume that she "caught me writing things down" and said that I had 20-30 pages of notes (so much for her X-Ray vision). He accused me of being some sort of beauty supply store spy (whatever that is), and started going off about how I was trying to pull something and then publicly humiliated me by asking me to leave in front of a store full of customers. I tried to explain that I was taking notes for my own use so I could identify the wig when I came back. He yelled that I should've asked first. Huh? Asked to use my own property? He went on to say that I disrespected him by coming in and not asking about writing things down and that he had been in business for 20 years and if I didn't realize that what I had done (whatever that is) could be damaging to him, then he didn't know what else to say. I left. I HAVE NEVER been treated like a criminal while window shopping in all my life. The owners of this establishment may have been in business for 20 years but they know NOTHING about how to run one. To say that they are unprofessional-as well as beyond ignorant-is the understatement of the year. There's a beauty supply store on every corner, it seems, in Portsmouth. FIND ANOTHER. Going to one where you can be treated as if you broke the law for simply taking down some reminder notes is NOT an option. Heads up: THEY ARE CRAZY! He accused me of trying to damage his business, Think I'll just leave that to...

I had to get paint mixed and 2 of the most anti social associates waited on me. Actually they were both occupied when I arrived so I had to ask for help. There was a male and female. They acted like speaking was against the law. After the female mixed my paint, I explained to her that the color on the can didn't look like the color card I had chosen. I worked at lowes some years ago and we use to blow dry the paint sample on the top because once dry, the actual color is revealed. I suggested she blow dry the top. The associate took the can from me, didn't say word. Blow dried the top, gave me the can back, made a u turn and left. No words were exchanged. Horrible customer service. I plan to NEVER return here. At least not to the...
