Dallas Hair Weave Thefts Have Reached Epidemic Proportions

WANTED: Have you seen this man?

When employees of USA Beauty Supply arrived at work on the morning of December 26 after taking Christmas off, they were surprised to find that the Red Bird store was already open. The doors were still locked, but the gaping hole in the brick wall provided easy access inside.

That's evidently what the person or persons who had made the hole had intended. They had taken, employees soon learned, the store's cash box and the $3,000 it contained. But the real prize was on the shelves. Those they cleared of $40,000 worth of top-of-the-line weaves, taking 20 hair clippers for good measure.

On Wednesday, the manager said he couldn't talk about the burglary without the owner's permission and that the owner very rarely visited the store. In other words, no comment.

The USA Beauty burglary isn't unique. Matter of fact, Dallas is seeing a wave of hair heists. On Tuesday, a woman tried rather brazenly to walk out of Super Beauty Supply on Bruton Road with two boxes of weaves but was grabbed by the store owner before she could make her exit.
