I've been overwhelmed with responses from you about your unused O'neys gift cards. Two Miami Valley salons are stepping in to help you use your gift cards with a nominal fee. Salon owners and employees say it's the least they can do during a bad situation.
Hair Stylist Becky Withrow said she can't believe what happened.
"Its unfortunate that it kinda came to a closure so quickly."
O'Neys gift card holders aren't the only ones upset over the salon's closing. Hair stylists like Withrow, who had worked at O'Neys for 23 years, are disappointed at the outcome.
"If I had any money coming to me, no I would not get it, and nor would the nail people there they won't get paychecks. There obviously just isn't no more money left and I'm a little perplexed about that."
Withrow now works at Basic Elements Hair and Body shop at 2537 Wilmington Pike. She says, with so many old O'Neys customers holding gift cards, she wants to help out anyway she can.
"We are going to honor the gift cards from clients if they call and make an appointment with Jeffrey, myself or Erica. And we're going to try to work in good faith because they have no way of proving to us how much their gift card value is."
There's no one at O'Neys to tell you how much you have left on your gift card. O'Neys suddenly closed shop, leaving hundreds of customers in the dark. Now, folks like Mindy Dalton will also shed a little light and cut a deal.
"We want to try to help them get something out of that, we're going to offer the gift certificates at a reduced fee. We're going to have an administration fee where they can come in and redeem their gift certificate just to cover our costs."
Mindy's of Oakwood is located at 2600 Far Hills Avenue, Suite 200. Dalton says she's also going to absorb former O'Neys employees.

I am a family member of O'Ney's and am totally embarrassed and humiliated over these events. If there was something I could do, I would. Bottom line: Shirley and Judy did not have a business head and shoved things under the rug for years. They had no ill-intent, but that does not change the fact that many people have been hurt. I apologize to the community, to the employees and anyone else negatively affected, but my hands are tied.
