Not a kid friendly place. If your child only speaks English, apparently it's an issue. Oh I'm sorry…read moremy child speaks her country's language. Whether if my child speaks Spanish or English or Japanese shouldn't ever be a discussion in any way or form at a hair salon. Calling my child "tonta" it's unacceptable. Yes, my child understood when they used the word "tonta" towards her. So, yes if you're ok with power hungry adults over children, this is your place. Also, my 7yr old has always had a sensitive scalp, clearly we as parents know our children better than anyone. But apparently my kid it's just a cry baby. Yet, she's gotten her hair done and has never cried before, here she was crying because they weren't being gentle or careful in any way, instead of comforting her they forced her down when she tried to get off the seat, telling her to stop being a cry baby. Thankfully her big sister was there to protect her as we've always taught them. My oldest (12yrs old) has learned about CGM (curly girl method) if you're not aware of this, please look it up and educate yourself about how beautiful our hair is and how we can take care of it oppose to damaging our hair with so many chemicals and straightening our hair. Anyhow, my oldest looked up the stuff they were trying to put on her little sister right there and then read how damaging this can be and didn't allow them to apply it on her sister & instead of listening to her as a customer, they were condescending and belittle her completely. My 12yr old daughter was caught off guard as to why or how these people think it's ok to be so rude to them, to anyone for that matter. Instead of reacting back with the same treatment, she grabbed her sister's hand and walked away and waited in the car. This was supposed to be a beautiful outing with their Grandmother who's been a loyal client for years now & it's such a a huge disappointment that it turned out to be a complete nightmare for my girls and my mother. The girls just wanted something simple and easy, but clearly they weren't able to understand them since they spoke English. Instead they set my oldest under a bonnet (dome) hair dryer. Her hair is already curly she didn't need any of that, all you had to do was wash it and crunch those beautiful curls. She even had a photo to show them what she wanted, which once again could've had been done with a wash and crunching her curls. Youngest one just wanted braids, but they were going to apply some sort of permanent
Parents, our children aren't puppets. Teach your babies to stand their ground. We're raising our kids to be respectful with everyone, NOT just with adults but also with their peers. Respects goes a long way, and I understand many of us Hispanics were raised as though our thoughts/feelings didn't matter because we were kids, break that cycle. Raise strong little humans by showing them what true real respect looks like at a young age, they're the future after all.
