I'm not happy about it, but I feel the same way.
There is a salon I go to that has recently hired one.
I like this salon, but I am determined the 'she' will NOT touch me.
So, do I go somewhere else, or just refuse to be served by her, thereby risking arrest for hate crime?
I’d go elsewhere- and TELL them why.
And since when is it a hate crime to have a favorite stylist in a salon and refuse appointments with anyone else?
