Dolce Salon and Spa Reviews

  • May 9, 2014

As an employee of Dolce I was required to train for the position. I attended training that went unpayed. I attended MANDATORY MEETINGS that went unpayed. I attended mandatory meetings during work hours that I had to clock out to attend! Overtime was only payed when you worked more than 80 hours per pay period, so they would work you 50 hours one week and 30 the next!

When I questioned these practices I was told that I would lose my job if I did not attend these meetings. The more I questioned the more I suddenly became the but of ""problems"" with customers, being fined from my paycheck for incorrectly booking a customer, yet they could not provide me proof of this.

I then was required to PAY and attend so called ""classes"". As the other girls who did notified me these were not job related but had to do with a CULT like atmosphere of RE-PROGRAMING our THINKING! Classes ranged from $500 up. These were MANDATORY.

When I did not take the class I was told that I needed to be let go because I was not Dolce MATERIAL. When fired I was asked to sign the paper agreeing that I was fired. I asked for a copy and was refused one. The manager then wrote on it that I quit.

I then tried to obtain my final paycheck and the payroll employee told me it was sent and returned for incorrect address. She was told NOT TO ATTEMPT TO MAIL IT AGAIN. Then I was never sent COBRA information for my insurance and denied any such paperwork.

I have gotten the information for Federal Labor department since this is where the law applies to pursue them.

I know someone in law enforcment who turned out to be aware of this company and it's practices. According to this person our local channel KTVK is involved with this LLC.

I worked for Dolce from August 2013 to March 2014. I was consistently praised for how many clients I retained. I only got in trouble once because I was having a very rough day and came in crying. My director, who was always very kind, wrote me up for having a ""bad attitude"" and bringing person issues into work. OK I understand that. This happened in November. I was never talked to about the situation again.

I started being bullied by another coworker just after January 1, 2014, and gradually got worse every day. The person who was bullying me decided to spread a lie about my religious beliefs claiming I ""cast a spell on her."" Really?! I heard about this lie on Thursday March 6, 2014. After I heard about this, I decided I needed to speak with someone higher up than my director, Tara Cruz, so I spoke with Sarah Colmes. I was in tears and absolutely devastated someone would use my beliefs against me in such a horrific way. Sarah did nothing!

That same day, Tara came in for two random sessions. She was actually malicious to me in front of the room her client was in! She told me to ""drop the attitude"" which i did not have, i had actually asked her, with a smile, how she was. She then continuously and repeatedly asked me in a very condescending tone and eye brows furrowed if I was OK. What????

At this point she had no idea I knew about the lie her friend and coworker who she supervised started about me. The next day on Friday March, 7, I was sent a text message from Tara telling me to come in for a meeting an hour before my shift. I went in obviously wondering what was going on, and Tara was again mean, rude and disrespectful to me claiming I was not adhering to the rules, this was a first for me, I had a bad attitude, when I was nothing but happy and cheerful, and excessive absenteeism, which is incorrect because she forced me to take a week and a half off work due to a medical condition. Tara also claimed i had been written up multiple times for these issues and that she had my signatures on these other alleged write ups. If thats the case, my name was forged. She then proceeded to fire me. When I asked for examples for these reasons, she had 0 valid reasons.

I asked for my termination paperwork, I was told it would be mailed to me. I'm still fighting to get it along with my personnel file. I sent a written request asking for these within 5 business days. I still have received nothing. I have emailed HR multiple times and have only received one email in return. I still have the email.

I honestly can say I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I was fired because of that lie about my religion! I was one of the top female therapists there and one of the most requested.

I do have multiple witnesses as well, including someone letting me know, I was the topic of discussion the day I got fired in a department meeting, and someone who was there when the lie was started.
