S’pore hairstylist in trouble again

The Singapore hairstylist who made false claims of styling the hair of Hollywood A-lister Nicole Kidman is in trouble again.

Mr Jonal Chong’s plush salon in Orchard Central has been repossessed and shuttered by its landlord, Far East Organization, for failing to pay rent on time.

The salon, Jonal Chong Hair Couture – now listed as Jonah Choong Hair Couture in the mall’s directory – has been closed since last Friday.

When my paper visited the salon on Sunday evening, the salon’s equipment, furniture and cash register were still visible through the mesh shutters.

A repossession notice pasted on the closed shutters read: “This unit is therefore now in the possession of Orchard Central Pte Ld.”

Customer Sandra Tan, who bought a $500 package with the salon just last month, was shocked to learn about the news.

“I purchased the package because the staff assured me that the salon had a good credit rating,” said Ms Tan, 38, an administrative assistant.

She approached the concierge at the customer-service counter for help and was given two mobile-phone numbers to call. She was given a third number after she told the management that the first two numbers were no longer in use. However, calls to the third number went unanswered, while attempts by my paper to contact Mr Chong also proved futile.

Since the salon was repossessed, “quite a number” of customers have approached the front desk for assistance, said a concierge.

It is not clear how much Mr Chong owes in rent, or how many customers have been left in the same predicament as Ms Tan.

In January, Mr Chong was exposed by my paper to have made false claims about being Kidman’s “exclusively appointed hairstylist”.
