A Michigan hair salon owner says anyone who does not identify as either a man or woman is "not welcome" at her business and should instead go to a pet groomer — a statement that sparked outrage from the LGBTQ+ community. "If a human identifies as anything other than a man/woman, please seek services at a local pet groomer," a now-deleted Facebook post from Studio 8 Hair Lab read. "You are not welcome at this salon. Period. Should you request to have a preferred pronoun used please note we may simply refer to you as ‘hey you.’" A Michigan hair...

Last May, hair salon owner Shelley Luther caused a stir when she was found to be in violation of the governor’s COVID order by continuing to operate her business. Luther was found to be in contempt of court and was jailed, but was later released by the Texas Supreme Court. Today, an opinion was delivered that the Texas Supreme Court concluded that the county’s order was too vague to enforce, and voided the order holding her in contempt of court.

Posh dinners at a cost of €490 euros per head as rest of Paris struggles under lockdown. Even as Parisians continue to struggle under lockdown, members of the French elite, potentially including government ministers, have been caught attending rulebreaking secret restaurants in the French capital. French TV channel M6 aired secretly recorded footage of clandestine dinners taking place at an “underground restaurant located in a beautiful part” of Paris. The clip shows guests at the restaurant without masks openly kissing each other and violating social distancing rules. There also appears to be no restrictions on the number of guests allowed....

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- There are new developments in the backlash following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to a beauty salon in San Francisco. The salon owner says she plans to close for good. Video of Pelosi went viral, after surveillance cameras inside the salon captured her without a mask. Salons in the city were supposed to be closed because of COVID-19. Salon Owner Erica Kious shared the video. Kious tells Fox News, she's even afraid to return to San Francisco after being attacked online for exposing Pelosi's visit.

The San Francisco salon owner, who Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) alleges set her up by recording her visit to the facility without a mask last week, has received more than $300,000 in donations. 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...

A hair salon says it was told by a job center it couldn't run an advertisement recruiting a “happy” stylist because the word is “discriminatory” against unhappy people. Alison Birch listed a job ad looking for a part-time qualified hairdresser at her AJ's Unisex Hair Salon in Stroud, England,. The position called for someone with five years’ experience of working in a salon, who is "confident in barbering as well as all aspects of hairdressing.” And the advertisement stated, "This is a busy, friendly, small salon, so only happy, friendly stylists need apply." But on Wednesday, Birch says she received...

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.

Nancy been nuked.

Pelosi's stylist claims hair appointment WAS a 'political' set up - but the salon owner denies tricking speaker and says her business is 'done' because of 'hypocrite' Democrat's demand for apology. Nancy Pelosi's stylist has defended the House Speaker, suggesting the salon owner had deliberately set her up and had authorized the controversial hair appointment. Jonathan DeNardo, the San Francisco cosmetologist who did Nancy Pelosi's hair before the city allowed salons to operate indoors, released a statement through his lawyer on Wednesday. The hair stylist appeared to support Pelosi's accusation that she was 'set up' by the salon. 'The fact...

More proof that the lockdown is a scam: All this time, Nancy Pelosi has been illegally going to a hair salon. Also, Pelosi falsely said she had been “set up” by the salon owner. But in reality, it was Pelosi herself who had set up the appointments. And security video shows that Pelosi did not wear a mask. Here’s another one that I’ll be adding the next time I update my list. You can read my current list at Here are 194 reasons why I’m against the COVID-19 lockdownsDuring the entire lockdown, U.S. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has been illegally going...

President Trump on Thursday went off on Nancy Pelosi’s claims she was “set up” at a San Francisco hair salon — as his press secretary laced into the House speaker while repeatedly playing the video that kicked off the fiasco. “Crazy Nancy Pelosi said she was ‘set up’ by the beauty parlor owner when she improperly had the salon opened (and didn’t wear a MASK!),” Trump tweeted. “Does anyone want a Speaker of the House who can be so easily SET UP?” The president’s post was contemporaneous to White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s press briefing with reporters, which she...

Did the salon owner make Pelosi make an appointment? Did she make her take her mask off? Of course not. There is no politician in Washington so insulated from criticism as Nancy Pelosi. Still surrounded by all the good wishes of sycophantic journalists in awe of her previous tenure as Speaker, in DC Pelosi gets away with saying a wide variety of crazy things, committing herself to extreme positions, and engaging in pointless and occasionally self-damaging battles. Any outside perspective would see her as flailing and ineffectual. But in Washington, she is the Grand Dame of Capitol Hill who can...

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. A maskless House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited eSalon on Monday afternoon for a wash and blow-out, despite local ordinances keeping salons closed amid the coronavirus pandemic. San Francisco's coronavirus guidelines allowed hair salons to reopen their businesses for outdoor services starting Tuesday, with clients seen one at a time. Haircuts are permitted, according to the guidance, but...

On Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) released a statement via her deputy chief of staff confessing to breaking city lockdown rules to get her hair done indoors at a San Francisco salon on Monday, seemingly without wearing a mask. Pelosi, however, is not admitting to any wrongdoing, instead shifting blame to the salon she visited. “The Speaker always wears a mask and complies with local COVID requirements,” said a statement from Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff Drew Hammill, according to FOX KTVU. “This business offered for the Speaker to come in on Monday and told her they were allowed...

VIDEO Even local San Francisco Bay Area media outlets such as these ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates are revealing outrage over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's maskless visit to a hair salon. As you can see, Nancy Pelosi can expect something like near zero votes from hair salon owners and employees at her next election. Maybe she can make amends by allowing them to personally view her gourmet ice cream collection.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., "ripped science apart like a State of the Union address" by visiting a San Francisco hair salon Monday for a wash and blowout without a mask, Tucker Carlson told his viewers Tuesday. "She has wet hair, she is not wearing a mask, but she was indoors," said the "Tucker Carlson Tonight" host, describing security footage of Pelosi's visit that was obtained by Fox News. "She was almost alone, because due to coronavirus regulations, salons in San Francisco are closed to services." Carlson continued, "Nancy Pelosi went inside. She can do that because she is the...

The Texas Supreme Court has granted the release of a Dallas salon owner who was jailed for contempt of court after refusing to keep her business closed during the coronavirus crisis.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — who’s waged war against the wealthy with a 70 percent tax rate proposal — shelled out more than $250 on a recent trip to the hair salon, according to a new report. The socialist darling dropped big bucks — $80 on a haircut and $180 for lowlights — last month at Last Tangle Salon in downtown Washington, DC, the Washington Times reported, citing sources. The outlet noted that a 20 percent tip, or $52, would bring the total to just over $312, while suggesting she could’ve saved about $100 for a chop at the “government-subsidized” Capitol...
