You’re not a person who gets their nails done so I don’t expect you to understand but the nail salon is not a haven for black Women. In fact it is very very anti black but we still go because we want to feel pretty. It is very intimidating when you are in that situation. https://twitter.com/MrJonCee/status/1051481167122325514 …

You really hope & pray you don’t have to complain if you’re getting your nails done at an Asian salon because they are very biased and they treat black women hostile when we express dissatisfaction. They’ve attacked black women and have called authorities on us for minor issues.

There are some women that want to avoid that escalation of conflict and just endure, like women do, and quietly tell ourselves we are never going back. Then there are brave women who speak up and stand up for themselves and sometimes it works out.

But a lot of the time, it’s not worth having your nail tech talk shit about you as they are touching you. Really a violating feeling and that energy is really disgusting. You know what I mean if you’ve gone through that or witnessed it. Very sick.

I’ve taken to yelp to actually review salons that I’ve gone to that treated me badly because other people need to know. Going to the shop owner won’t do anything. You can’t fight bias like that. But going to tell MY experiences keeps other black women from experiencing that.

This is an important conversation that’s hit the timeline before but nobody’s really gotten into the deep of it. It’s crazy because nails are so apart of black womens aesthetic and yet we still have to deal with hostility in our self care.
