    Apology continues

    A Disheartening Experience - I Will Not Return As a Black woman and customer, I feel it's important to share an experience that left both my daughter and me feeling unwelcome and discriminated against at Ly Nail Salon in Belleville, MI. We visited the salon around noon on a Friday. I checked in with my phone number, and a young lady at the front desk asked what service we needed. I requested a polish change for myself, and my daughter wanted a manicure. A man working there came over and spoke to the young lady in a language I didn't understand. After their conversation, she told us they had no openings--not now and not for the rest of the day. That was disappointing, but honestly, I had already felt a negative energy when we walked in, so I accepted it and began to leave. As we were walking out, an older white woman walked in. Something told me to ask her if she had an appointment. My daughter and I turned around and re-entered the salon. The white woman was comfortably seated, waiting for her turn. I asked her if she had an appointment, and she politely said no. I then asked the young lady at the desk how they suddenly had an opening. Her response was, "Oh, one just became available." I reminded her that she had just told us they had no openings for the entire day. She quickly said, "We can take you now." At that moment, I told her plainly: her actions felt racist, and I would not be accepting their services. We left, and shortly afterward I received a text message from her apologizing for her behavior. While I appreciate the apology, the damage was already done. Discrimination only takes one time to do lasting harm. I will never return to Ly Nails, and I will spend my Black dollars where they are respected and welcomed--not just when someone gets caught in the act. Let this be a reminder that equal treatment matters and that every customer deserves respect--regardless of race.

    Dip manicure with tips

    I went to LY Nails this past Saturday to get a dip manicure + tips. I saw Sam, and he did a marvelous job. The nail shape is exactly how I like them, and he checked in several times to make sure that the length, color, and shape were what I wanted. The space is very bright, open, and clean. It felt quite glamorous-- truly like taking some time to be pampered. I'll definitely be back! They were VERY busy, so I suggest making an appointment.

    I've been going to Andrews to get my hair colored for a couple of years now. She is great and…read morealways game for my random whims and vague direction. I've asked her for things like "capri sun mermaid" in the past and she has never failed to execute.

    Update after owner response:…read more I want to clarify a few things in response to the owner's reply, because it does not reflect what happened. The conversation that led to this situation was not started by me. While I was in the chair, the discussion had already shifted into conspiracy topics. A client then came in and brought up the Israeli prime minister and his cancer, making comments expressing happiness about it. The tone of the conversation included laughter and engagement from others around, which made it extremely uncomfortable to sit through. As a Jewish customer, I felt put in a very difficult position, especially being mid-service and unable to simply step away. The direction of the conversation is what led me to speak up and say that I'm Jewish and that I didn't agree, even though I was genuinely nervous to do so. When I said that, there was a visible shift, people were caught off guard, apologized, and said they don't hate Jews, they "just hate him." That does not change what was said or how it came across in that moment. The owner was the one cutting my hair and was part of the conversation. When I said I needed to leave, I was already overwhelmed and in a state of panic. My hair was not finished, and I had to ask for clips to be removed so I could go. I then found myself at a locked door and had to wait to be let out, which added to the distress of the situation. I do want to be clear that I did verbally express myself strongly toward the end. I'm not denying that. My reaction came after everything I had just experienced, not before. The owner's response mentions creating a safe environment and staff feeling uncomfortable. I did not create that situation, I reacted to it. I was the one sitting in the chair while this conversation was happening around me. After I spoke up, the response included references to "Jewish support groups" and comparisons between Jewish people and the queer community that felt dismissive and out of place given the context.
