Is hairaddicts.com legit or a scam?
Suspicious hair salon site flagged by six antivirus engines, impersonates Google branding, and lacks legitimate business contact details.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
Six antivirus engines (ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, Fortinet, and Gridinsoft) flag this domain as malicious or malware, which is a strong technical signal of compromise or malicious intent. The page claims to be a salon in Anaheim but uses only a Gmail address for contact and provides no postal address — legitimate salons typically list a physical location and business email. The site also impersonates Google branding elements on a non-official domain, which is a common tactic in phishing and credential-harvesting schemes. The domain is 20+ years old (7532 days), which initially suggests legitimacy, but the combination of antivirus detections, missing business verification, and brand impersonation overrides the age signal. The hosting IP has a clean abuse score and no reports, but this does not offset the malware-engine consensus.

- Do not interact with hairaddicts.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.

- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
