Going to the salon is a pleasure, not a right. It’s your time to relax, vent to your stylist, and enjoy becoming a brand-new you once you walk out of that door.
Of course, there are those types of people who feel they have a right to any service no matter how they choose to act or treat employees of a business.
A video went viral of hairstylist Sharon Spellman and her assistant Alex dealing with a woman whom people have branded “One of the worst Karens anyone can experience”.
The woman’s name is Robin, and she went into the salon that day to have a simple root touch-up. Robin has been going to Sharon for a long time, but this isn’t the first Karen incident that Robin has had.
Sharon told Robin she was going to have her assistant Alex finished her root touch-up, in turn, Robin quickly expressed her negative feelings about that.
Sharon attempted to explain to Robin that Alex will be doing exactly what she is doing and that she needs to be more trusting. Robin quickly said no and stated, "You’re supposed to be with the customer." Sharon then jokingly said, “Nuh-uh, I’m the boss here Robin.”
With this simple exchange, viewers get the vibes of a lighthearted disagreement, but then Robin states, “I’m not paying her I’m paying you.” Robin then threatened to leave if Sharon didn’t do her hair herself.
Just by looking at Sharon’s expressions, you can see that she is truly taken aback by the way her long-time client is choosing to act. Sharon told Robin to quit talking to her so disrespectfully and to calm down.
Sharon then explained to Robin that she cannot talk to people with such disrespect and expect them to do what she says. She then tells Robin, “If you don’t wanna hear me out, and get to a resolution of this, you can leave with half of your color on.”
This statement caused Robin to lean over toward Sharon and act like she was going to hit her. That was the last straw for Sharon, and she demanded Robin leave the salon.
Sharon then went on to Instagram live after her video went viral to explain the numerous incidents involving Robin. She explained that the more she thought back to these incidents she noticed that Robin would make remarks about Mexicans specifically.
Sharon handled the situation in a completely professional way, without acting on Robin’s attempted assault.
