[+4,205, -26] Please stop embarrassing our country like this. This has exceeded any reasonable line.

[+3,771, -27] 1.01 million won just to get your hair done~ egads

[+3,379, -23] Why are these Gangnam salons embarrassing us like this, tsk tsk

[+149, -1] No matter how famous a salon is, 1.01 million won is severely overcharging. This is so shameless.

[+132, -3] Release the name of that salon. Please stop ripping off foreigners like this. 

[+126, -3] 1.01 million won? Are they also providing lodging for these foreigners too? ㅋㅋ We're going to need a tax investigation into these businesses..

[+107, -2] I don't even get how salons charge for things sometimes. And there are different charges depending on if the owner or the designer staff works on your hair. I've never seen a difference in skill particularly. We should ask for more transparency while we're at it.

[+103, -3] Some salons are thieves. They act like whatever number they pull out of the sky is what you need to pay.

[+81, -1] No, this totally sounds like they intended to scam the foreigner

[+68, -1] Maybe it was a case of the salon asking them if they wanted this or that and the foreigner isn't fluent in Korean so they just kept saying yes to everything and this was the final bill... Gotta use translators at times like this.

[+59, -2] Did they smear gold all over her hair or something?

[+37, -0] Ugh, this is so embarrassing

[+35, -1] No, they definitely needed to have updated her on the bill throughout the process ㅡㅡ
