this lady deep fried my hair!

[BotanyGrl]

Wow... just wow. Me and that lady would have been fighting as soon as she thought she could pull my headband off. I can't believe she invaded your personal space like that!!! I wish a would do something like that to me

 

[Priss Pot]

I am forever telling those people in Pentagon City that I don't use direct heat so I'm not interested.Do you think they accept that? They just keep talking, and I keep walking. God forbid you are trying to go to a store and have to pass them. @Candy_C I told one yt girl at the kiosk one day that she better back up from me with that iron and she had the nerve to act scared. I wasn't in the mood that day.If they are going to be so bold you should expect some bold responses. Some of the people they have working there obviously have no business trying to flat iron someone's hair. They always look so perplexed that you don't want them to fry your hair! I haven't been to Tysons in a couple months, so I haven't seen them there. I will be on the lookout.

OMG, when I was in D.C., the Pentagon City Flat-Ironers would shout me out everytime I walked by. I couldn't avoid them because the kiosk was located in front of Bath & Body Works. I stayed in B&BW during that Semi-Annual sale, so I saw those flat-iron people a lot. They were soooooo annoying!

One time this Black guy was at the kiosk and he kept asking me if he could straighten my hair. I told him that I'm not ready to straighten it yet, and it would look weird with one straight piece. He said that with that iron he could make curls and the curls would blend in with my natural curls......yeah right . If they're gonna blend in, then why do I need to flat-iron it? How in the heck would a straight curl blend in with coily hair anyway, but whatever. That iron was smoking!!!!! I told him that the temperature on the iron was too high because of the smoke. He said that it was okay because since it's a ceramic iron, then it's "safe heat."

I've been accosted by the "Russian mafia" in the mall too, but they were never so bold as to grab my hair and flat iron it without my permission. That's just crazy right there. Chick deserved a quick elbow to the gut for that one.

 

[Cinnabuns]

that's not even the worst part... while i was storming off, she was yelling after me, "but it's ceramic! ceramic is good for your hair!" ... i mean, you just deep fried a good section of my hair, and now you're gonna fill me with lies? if it was so good for my hair, why was it steaming like a hot plate of food???

i learned my lesson though, from now on, i'm only wearing buns to the mall! lol

She had the nerve to say that!

 

[SherryLove]

sorry you had to have that experience. but just be thankful she did not damage your scalp and stop the hair from growing back.. that woman is going to get the wrong female one day who will not hesitate to beat her behind and kick her as far as wind and water can carry her....

I second that!
This nonsense is just going to have to stop.

 

[*Muffin*]

You're better than me. I would have TAMED that lady thouroughly. Who does she think she is putting her hands in someone's hair, a black woman's hair at that? I don't know about you, but I'm sensitive about who touches my hair. I don't let just anyone do it. For her to rape your hair like that without permission was unacceptable. She seriously needs to learn what boundaries are.

 

[brooklyngal73]

Oh damn!

To the OP: that chick was outta control. Ooh, I wish you could've slapped her....

oooo yeah. seen that at the mall here. I had my hair in a bun, the guy was like, I can make your hair straight, starts reaching for my hair.

I was like whoa whoa whoa! slow your roll, I've messed people up for less!

Then he's like, Oh no don't hit me, I can make your hair look nice and straight (little does he know it was either hit or shoot because i'm always packin)

I said you been putting that thing all up in folks hair who may have lice and who knows what else. So no thank you, I like having a healthy scalp and me and my non straight hair is just fine the way it is.

I also told him that before you start grabbing somebody's hair, you better be real careful, some of us wear firearms legally and really don't like it when people get in our personal place like that.

That freaked him out

Last time I saw him at the mall he was being REAL careful to not jump all in people's personal space.

I think I know the Black guy you are talking about. He's a little "how u doin". Yeah he tried to solicit me once, acting like he was selling a Chanel iron or something. I just said nah, I don't use that in mid motion to BBW . He was so thrown off. It was so funny.

 

[favorc]

oh hell naw. mom would have had to cover her ears. you don't do that.

 

[divine22]

Woah Nelly!!! That was completely out of line. I would have been so furious!

 

[Crackers Phinn]

But I feel ya!

LOL, you hit the nail on the head!!!! I didn't want to just assume he was "How U Doin" but of course the way he acted, it wasn't hard to guess.

 

[ScandalousBeauty]

I'm working at that Macy's tomorrow. Gimme a good description and I'll dot her right eye for ya!!!

 

[Jetblackhair]

Oh, this is awful. I hate the tatics used by the people who work at those kiosk anyway. They go in for the kill trying to make a sale, invading your personal being and space.

I'm pretty easy going but one day one of those kiosk girls put one of those heat thingy's around my neck and caught my hair in it. I actually wanted to try it but I wanted to move my hair out of the way. I told her wait a minute I don't want this on my hair. She had her nerve to raise her voice at me and say, "It's not on your hair" and I immediately told her to just get the thing off of me, forget it, I don't need this.

I think you should still report it, cause she didn't ask your permission.

 

[Mortons]

I've had this lady come up to me and curl my hair with an iron without getting permission. A mess.

 

[berry87]

lol i would have boxed her down for that

so would my mum!

i agree you cant allow this thing to happen, yoooooo ("ghetto time") i dont like stranger touching me anyway,

i woulda been like "move yaself eeeediat gyal! bout your comin to me with iron, backweh!"

Yes Yes Candy!

Tell ar fi run weh gyal' !

That lady wasn't right

 

[pazyamor]

I live in DC too and all those damn kiosk ladies are crazy! The damn girls in PG be bout to catch a damn beatdown! I see you're a Hampton girl, Nice to meet you, I'm Howard all the way!

 

[SmartyPants]

To quote "Huey Freeman:"

That **** would have been introduced to a "n-i-g-g-a moment."

 

[OneInAMillion]

Okay, that sounds unreal. But thanks for the warning. Where do these people get off flatironing other people's hair in the middle of a mall?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't stand these people in the mall. There's a kiosk outside the store where my little sister works and one day I walked by with my hair just done (rollerset & roots blown). This Russian guy was like, "Excuse me, how do you get your hair like that." I told him with a blowdryer and kept on walking and this fool wash shouting, "Come back, I can do that with the flatiron, it will look better and it's less heat."

I just looked at his crazy arse. If I just got my hair done, why would I want you to put MORE heat on it anyway? LOL I wish one of these ppl would come after me because I would be owning that kiosk. They are so abrasive and no matter how your hair looks: relaxed, natural, bald, in braids...they are trying to flatiron it.

 

[Poohbear]

How did you give her all that time to do that to your hair? I would have just ran away before she grabbed my hair to flat iron it like that. That's just so strange how you let her do all that to your hair.

The nerve of him.....

 

[balisi]

Hitting you up with the iron is bad enough, but I'd be more upset about the comb she used. No telling how many folks she'd used it on without sanitizing it.

 

[IntoMyhair]

Thanks for the heads up.

Sorry she fried your hair. At least it is nor damaged.

 

[poookie]

now that i think about it, i stayed entirely longer than i should have... but at the same time, it was all really quick. as in, while she was putting the hand over to take the headband off, the other was whipping the flat iron out...

but since i NEVER do flat irons, and i rarely blow dry (maybe 2x a month), the whole experience didn't faze me TOO much. i was more blown at the fact that she invaded my personal space without asking.

either way, i could stand to improve my reflexes.

 

[poookie]

I live in DC too and all those damn kiosk ladies are crazy! The damn girls in PG be bout to catch a damn beatdown! I see you're a Hampton girl, Nice to meet you, I'm Howard all the way!

i'm like, 2 minutes outside of PG! definitely feelin the AREA and HU love in here!

 

[poookie]

I'm sorry that happened to you. You should have pulled out a can of whoop arse! BTW, I graduated from Hampton University. H.I.U. - I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT!!!

HU all day every day!!!

(ok now i'm back on topic, lol)

 

[senimoni]

Dang girl...you must have slow reflexes...I woulda been dodging and ducking so quick...lol. OK..but seriously that sucks that that happened to you.

 

[DarkVictory]

Sorry this woman and her icky comb got to you. Glad you didn't have any permanent damage.

Good thing it wasn't me. I don't bear arms, but I AM from Hollis, Queens:

"Police were called to Mega-Buck Mall today after a bizarre incident in which a VERY LOUD African-American woman attempted to feed a small plastic comb to a Russian kiosk worker."

 

[BeautifulFlower]

Of course I feel awful that you fell victim to the scam. Ok I am sorry but I think this is funny.

Those ladies are all over the DC area. They are like hair stalkers. I even saw a few in ATL last year. They are selling a flat iron called corioliss.

I remember this one guy who was doing it in Montgomery Mall (Montgomery County, MD) was like, "Is that your hair?" I looked at him like are you stupid and he was like oh sorry. I HAD IN BRAIDS. And the guy at the Proactiv Kiosk starting laughing at me because I was like umm Duh, you idiot.

They dont cleans those after use, they dont use heat protectant and if you did buy one and you needed to return it to the manufacturer that would be hell. They are mostly sold at mall kiosk and no major stores carry them.

Do not Ever Get this Iron.
