Sarah's complaint regarding Sheila Matechuk's fraudulent marketing on
www.complaintsboard.com is valid and accurate, as are her points
regarding Sheila's lack of licensing credentials, training and
certification, liability insurance and legitimate status to work in
the U.S. Sheila did have an upset client named Laura, does not have a
U.S. work visa (as a Canadian citizen) and is not licensed to do hair
anywhere in the world. I know Sheila's dishonest ways and I'm not a
hater. Sheila needs to walk the walk, expecially when she claims to be
a sober recovering alcoholic. Sheila is not licensed by the State of
California as a hair stylist and the fact is that she has no formal
hair training and no hair salon license. She skirts the California
Cosmetology Board's laws by claiming she doesn't need a license to do
hair when she does handle hair. What an insult to every trained and
law abiding stylist out there who has paid her/his dues and has to pay
taxes as a U.S. citizen.

Sheila started in hair extensions after failing as a marketing
consultant. She and her sister Elena (a phone sex operator from
Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada) took control of www.hairextensionsalonlocator.com
and upgraded the site by ripping software code off from another site
www.hairextensionguide.com which is owned by an honest hardworking
couple. When that didn't pay off in 2006, Sheila decided to compete
against her hair extensionist clients by starting her own business.
She began by ripping off the name Goddess Hair Extensions
www.goddesshairextensions.com which is owned by another honest and
licensed extensionist who created Goddess Hair Extensions in 2001.
Since www.goddesshairextensions.com was taken years before, Sheila
went for www.goddessextensions.com in April 2006 and also registered
www.goddessofhair.com in case she got sued by the real owner of
Goddess Hair Extensions. For the past year and a half Sheila has
claimed that she's the founder and inventor of Goddess Hair Extensions
which is an outright lie.

Sheila has lots of complaints about the bad quality of her hair which
she gets from Giovanni and Sons in Van Nuys. She claims its Italian
hair but its really low grade Indian hair that she's misrepresenting
and overcharging for.
She's had many clientss wanting to return hair but she doesn't return
their money. In addition to her false claim of 1,200 clients, Sheila
claims to have over 75 Goddess Extensionists who are just the
unfortunate victims that paid $1,500 for what she falsely claimed will
make them $125,000 a year (she took that claim off her site along with
some other b.s. claims) which people complained about. All she's
teaching in her classes are the ripped off versions of the nasty glue
methods, and the same old lock systems that you can learn from His and
Her Hair in L.A. for nothing. Any training or certificate from Sheila
is worthless. How can it be worth anything if she was never trained or
certified herself and she's fraudulently using another company's name
without their permission.

The bottom line is that Sheila tried to cover her lack of credentials
and industry experience by coming out of the blue claiming to be a
master extensionist and celebrity stylist (just because she did
someone's hair that went to the King Kong premiere). Don't be fooled
by her Mother Theresa routine either. She ripped off the Pink Hair for
Hope idea from SoCap Extensions. She did it to get more sales and to
look genuine and caring. Nothing about Sheila Matechuk is genuine do
your research before handing your money and your hair over to her.
