Hi there. I gave a salon 600 dollars deposit. There were no papers signed. The agreement was the first month was free of working there so I could build up clientele. I worked there for one month and one week. The first week of working there I had to work with locked doors because they did not have their license to be open yet. I also had to work with no sign above the salon for a week. The booth rent is 150 per week. I called the owners and asked to be compensated for the rest of the month that I didn't work there which was 450. They said there is no way I am getting my money back. They also said if I contact the Better buisness bureau or Texas State Board of Cosmetology that they would sue me. I am not sure who to go to or if I can do anything about this matter. Any advice would be appreciated.
