A GoFundMe page for Erica Kious, the owner of the salon where Pelosi was videotaped without a mask for a hair appointment, raised $310,725 from 8,800 donors as of Tuesday afternoon. The fundraiser surpassed its $300,000 goal on Labor Day. Kious thanked the donors, her daughters, their “loving dad,” and her family and friends in a letter published on the page on Monday. “I wish I could...

The GoFundMe page set up for San Francisco hair salon owner Erica Kious amid the controversy with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has raised $132,000 as of Friday. The fundraising page for Kious said it was created just a day ago. Its goal is set at $300,000. “Erica Kious, a single mother of two and owner of eSalon, where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi got her hair done on Monday, is now being forced to shut down and relocate her business and family due to outrage and threats she is receiving,” the page states, adding that “ALL donations will go directly to...

In her interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson this week, Erica Kious was adamant that she did not "set up" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi when the Democrat was caught on camera getting a hair blowout in her salon, ESalonSF, which has been shut down for months due to the coronavirus. Speaker Pelosi claimed innocence in a recent statement, insisting that the salon fooled her. She demanded an apology, but Kious said it's not coming.

I mean, I didn't go in there and turn cameras on as soon as she walked in and set her up. So that is absolutely false." Salons in San Francisco had been closed since March and could only reopen for outdoor hairstyling services on Sept. 1. Pelosi said she understood that coronavirus restrictions allowed for a one-on-one appointment indoors. "I heard that," Kious told Carlson, "and I thought to myself, 'Well as a hairstylist, I see clients one-on-one....

by Samantha Foster No, Queen Nancy, this is NOT going away. The Speaker of the House thought she could make SalonGate disappear today by claiming she was "set up" by the San Francisco Salon where Pelosi broke COVID-19 restrictions to get her hair done -- without a mask (at age 80!)- while all other city salons were required to be closed. Now it turns out her claim was a big fat lie. Salon owner Erica Kious disputed Pelosi’s (D-CA) claim that she was “set up”, saying that Pelosi was the one who called and set up the appointment, and...
