I'm very disappointed and confused. My fiancé, his daughter, and I have been to this salon multiple…read moretimes, and each time, I've enjoyed both my nails and the overall experience. However, I've noticed they may selectively choose which customers to serve, which hasn't been an issue for me--until today.
I was in a rush, and my mother needed a manicure and pedicure, so naturally, I chose this salon. During my mom's appointment, I decided I would also get my eyebrows waxed. I informed the staff, and although they acknowledged my request, no one came to service me. I assumed they were waiting for the person who handles waxing.
Later, my mom asked if I was still getting my eyebrows done, but at that point, I replied "never mind" and went to sit in the car. To my shock, the technician doing my mom's nails mentioned that they were prejudiced against me because of my skin color, saying I was "too dark." When my mom asked why they were servicing her, they replied that it was because she was light-skinned.
My mother was so upset by this blatant discrimination that she left without getting her eyebrows done either. It's truly disheartening to experience this kind of treatment, especially in 2024. I will be telling everyone I know about this, as it's clear they don't welcome dark-skinned people. I've lived in Hammond the last 4 years and this is the first..smh
