Makeup Artist’s Client Steals A whole bunch From Purse During Session

Miami makeup artist Ayesha Munroe claims that tons of of dollars was stolen from her purse by a client during a session, and it was all caught on camera!

Munroe spoke to The Shade Room and revealed that when she rolled the cameras back not only did she discover how the cash went missing, but that it was a calculated plan by her Chicago-based client, a girl named Alexia Spears also often called “PrettyLo,” and the friend she brought along with her to the session.

“PrettyLo” also spoke to TSR regarding the allegations and denied her involvement within the heist.

Nevertheless, she shockingly admitted that her friend took the cash and doesn’t know if she plans to offer it back.

Munroe has since filed a police report and doesn’t intend to let this theft go unanswered.

Could this have been a case of 1 person acting alone? Or was it a well thought out plan to steal from the very starting?

The Shade Room investigates…

The situation began after “PrettyLo” sent Munroe a friend request on social media. On November 4, “PrettyLo” shows as much as the appointment with a friend donning red hair.

Every little thing seemed normal, they talked and laughed. Munroe says that she went to indicate “PrettyLo” where the toilet was once the session was over, and her friend stayed behind.

“I’m watching them pack up their stuff, but she kinda blocked it, like where the (entrance) was, she took the cash after which they left” Munroe tells TSR Investigates’ Justin Carter.

She said it happened in seconds as she was cleansing up her workspace. Surveillance video shows as “PrettyLo” standing by the door as her friend fiddles around along with her bag, before placing it on a coach right next to Munroe’s purse.

The friend can then be seen grabbing money out of her purse and placing it in her own bag.

“For the friend that didn’t get her her makeup done, she asked me like ‘do you’ve gotten any availabilities afterward? I actually need to get my makeup done.’ I told her ‘yeah, I’m here all day.’ Mind you that is after she took the cash,” Munroe said.

Munroe says she wasn’t even aware her money had been stolen until shopping at a store later that day to by snacks.

She says she then messaged “PrettyLo” immediately.

“I told her ‘Hey, your friend stole money out of my purse, are you able to please return it before I even have to get the police involved?”

Munroe goes on to say that “PrettyLo” told her it didn’t appear to be her friend stole money, but moderately it appeared she stole lipgloss from her purse.

She added that she remained nice with the 2, as she wasn’t totally sure if “PrettyLo” was a component of the scheme or not.

But after reviewing the CCTV video again, she spotted “PrettyLo” standing by the door, as if she was running interference for her friend.

When she didn’t receive her a refund, Munroe posted the video onto her skilled social media pages, and that’s how she learned “PrettyLo’s” real name – Alexia Spears.

“Oh well, suck it up, you’re a makeup artist. You’ll get it again in case you got it,” PrettyLo said within the video.

Munroe told The Shade Room that after viewing the video, she felt like there was nothing more she could do: “they were already laughing in my face (about it).”

The Shade Room reached out to “PrettyLo,” who said she had nothing to do with the stolen money.

“She made it appear to be I used to be the one who took it, but I clearly within the video and I’m not taking the cash or anything,” she said.
