On April 23rd 2010 I was hired as a model for the ARROJO company which would be showing their products and services during IBS "international beauty show" Las Vegas. I was told I would receive $800 for being one of their runway models, minus Agency fees- Since I do not have an Agent and found the Job casting Via (http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=408033515131) these fee's did not apply to me .
The next day (April 24th) I attended the hair prep where my hair was dyed. On April 25th I arrived at the show where my hair was pre-cut by Lina Arrojo (nicks wife) (http://www.arrojostudio.com/studio/team/masterteam.htm) My cut was finished onstage and I walked runway. After the show I was told to talk to Christine Gordon who is in charge of pay for all models. She gave me her card and told me to email her. I emailed her that night on April 25th and then again on April 28th (the same message but sent it to her second email address just in case) after that I waited. On May 12th (over a week later) she finally responded and informed me that pay checks would be processed that next week.
I waited two weeks for my check. When I did not receive it i sent Christine Gordon an email on June 1st asking about my payment. On June third I received this message "Payment is going in the mail tomorrow and should be to you by middle of next week". I waited TWO more weeks and then called her on June 14th. I was told the check should be going out that friday but that she would also call me back on thursday to let me know for sure. I never received that call. I called her on Friday June 18th and left a message to call me back. I also sent her yet another email, I told her I was looking forward to getting my check by Tuesday and if that was not possible she could overnight it to me, I also informed her that if any of this was a problem I'd be happy to talk to Nick instead.
On Tuesday June 22nd I did not receive a check but a message saying she would give me the tracking number the next day (wednesday June 23rd) and that I would have my check on Thursday June 24th. On Wednesday June 23rd I waited until 2:38 pm to receive my tracking number and then sent an email asking if I could please have it. I did not receive a response until the next morning Thursday June 24th at 7:45 am informing me that I would receive the number within the next hour. I did not receive the number, and I did not receive the check. At 3:30 I called Christine and left her a message letting her know that if the check was not in my hand by 5pm Friday June 25th I would be taking legal action, I repeated this message in an email to her and called the salon directly- I was informed that Nick Arrojo was with a client and would call me back when he was finished. I have not received that call. It is 9:00pm Thursday June the 24th.
This company is completely unprofessional.
