Boho Salon

Boho Salon is a role-playing salon group, owner of the place /Boho Salon V3/. Boho Salon is known for its quick growth, with over 900K+ members in total in over a span of a couple of months. Because of Boho's incredible amount of users, they have been accused of botting group members and scamming.

Rulebreaking
Boho Salon has received a ton of accusations from players, the accusation being of Boho Salon breaking multiple rules of ROBLOX.

Botting
Boho Salon was rapidly growing, so much of a growth that people thought it was too unreal, and almost impossible to achieve fame so quickly. ROBLOX High School: Fan Club, the largest group in ROBLOX history, took years to get its large amount of members. Meanwhile, Boho Salon took a span of a few months to get around 45% of the member count ROBLOX High School: Fan Club has. Many people outside of the Boho Salon community had decided to look into their group to see if there is any foul play and suspicious activity going on.

Nearly a few weeks after Boho Salon got its fame, Boho Salon was been, and is still, accused by many infamous ROBLOX YouTubers. Accounts that recently join the group were only made at the day they joined, and they were inactive the day after. This came to the conclusion that they were bots trying to get Boho Salon to their fame.

The majority of Boho Salon, including Lalakiela herself, denied these accusations. They claimed that Boho Salon was popular because it hit the front page. Continuing their claim, they explained that because it hit the front page, many people were playing it and joined their group as support. The people against it, obviously, did not approve the claim, as it truly did not explain the new, one-time accounts Boho Salon was getting.

Here is one of the claims a former Boho Salon executive made, shown here.

Chat-Filtering
On January 3, 2017, Boho Salon went under review due to a Chat Filtering issue, being text not being filtered in some features of their game. After a few days, Boho Salon V3 was active.

Quiz Application
As of December 24, 2016, there have been over 40,000+ videos created in regards to the quiz application that is required to obtain a job at Boho Salon, without answering a minimum of 3 questions incorrectly. Most videos tell the answers for specific jobs to viewers watching. Because of this, this makes it very easy to apply and get a job in the group's game, Boho Salon V3.

2016 & 2017 BLOXY Awards
Boho Salon was in the 2016 BLOXY Awards in the Final Nominations. Their nominations were the group, Boho Salon, in the "Favorite Social Group" category and their game, Boho Salon V3, in the "Favorite Breakout Game" category. Some were happy about this, mainly from the Boho Salon community. On the other hand, others were outraged as they do not understand why a group that supposedly botted and scammed multiple times were nominated for the BLOXY Awards. The group was yet again nominated in the 2017 BLOXY Awards for "Best Social Group" and "Favorite Clothing Company".

Criticism
Because of Boho Salon's accusations of botting and scamming against it, the majority of players are against it. However, some people are supporting the group and denying their accusations.

Like all "work roleplay" games, players outside its community see it as a waste of time, and honestly are baffled on their fame. People are still trying to get dirt, trying to expose the group in other words, onto the game. This is because ROBLOX would possibly investigate and maybe, though unlikely, shut the game and its group down.

Copies
Some users copied Boho Salon to get more group members. However, they claimed that this is the only real Boho Salon Group, but Lalakiela's one was the real Boho Salon Group. Anyone who copied Boho Salon are just trying to break the rules, they are often Banned. There is one main succsessful 'copied' Boho Salon group, called Boho Salon™ which was made shortly after the original group. It has a salon with between 50 and 100 players on at a time, and users do not need to apply for a job, they simply join the group as the first rank is hairdresser, since guests are considered as the clients. The owner claims the group is not a copy, due to the different games, group descriptions, ranks and logos, however it is often mistaken as one. This group is also the third most popular salon group on ROBLOX, behind Fume Salon and Boho Salon, with 53000 members.

2017 Boho Salon "Hack" & Decline In Popularity
Around the 1st of May 2017, the founder's account Lalakiela was compromised by BohoSalonHolder, and all her limiteds and her group were taken. Because of this, the group had to move to Breezy's Salon until lalakiela can recover her account. out a month prior to the hack on Boho Salon, the salon's scripter, FrankieTheDino quit the group for unknown reasons. He also disabled the scripts he made, resulting in the salon being broken. This darastically reduced player count for the salon, as well as the member count. Boho Salon had a peak of 1.009 million members around April 2017, and as of December 2017 it has dropped to 965000. The group no longer has a salon game, instead they have a cafe called 'Boho Cafe', which is believed to be an uncopylocked version of the group Chicken Express' cafe. The playercount on Boho Cafe is usually between 10 and 40, compared to the 1000-2000 people that used to be on their salon. Because of the low player count compared to their member count, the amount of users who are leaving the group, and the lack of wall posts, the group could be considered inactive. The owner is also barely online, and group shouts are rarely updated.
