I have these blacks come in here and they have their hair up in a bun for a couple weeks and when they have me wash their hair a couple times there was mold and ringworms under there. After that I refused to do anymore black hair and besides I can't stand to touch their course hair. Blacks should go to their own hairstylist. I don't think any whites go to black hairstylists. Just one more reason to leave the city and move out west. I've been hearing a lot about that lately and I'm seriously consering it.

Yes mold and those things on their heads where the hair is gone. Tiny bald spots. It only happenes when they leave their hair in a bun for over a week.

OK, let me make this sound better. I beautiful black lady came in to the salon. She had her hair in a bun. When I undid the bun she had beautiful mold growiing underneath it. She had bald spots where the hair came off. It was wonderful. Are there a any other hairdressers that have this wonderful experience?

In a bun for over a week. Where are all of these bun wearing black women? Mold and ringworm????? And I see you have issues with the truth. Hair does not develop mold nor ringworm in week. Um, haven't you seen white prople in dreads and braids? You seriously don't think a white hairdresser did that, do you? More whites will go to black and Dominican hairdressers than vice versa. Even white women want their hair "hooked up." Your post is a bunch of bull, and you just wanted a place to vent your racist views. oh yeah, and the word in your lie is spelled "coarse."
Good ahead, move out make your neighborhood happy.
OK - You gave your actual opinion in the first place, don't try to clean it up now, I saw another answer you gave - but here goes (for someone that might actually want a REAL answer). More than likely the she has something like alopecia[a condition that causes the hair to fall out - which may account for the hair extension], or the extension was attached too tight and pulled her hair out. As a hair dresser, you should know these things rather than spew racist garbage. Did you alert her to the missing hair? She have known the actual cause.

Ok, the only reason i'm responding is because of all these comments before me. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to service African Americans - it is your own personal decision, unless you are in a business for someone else (if it's you making the decisions then it's basically whatever floats your boat)
Now for this specific situation...A woman had ringworm on her scalp?? That is disgusting - and very dangerous as ringworm is highly contagious. You could possible simply state that if the person's hair has been in a style for more than a day that it has to be washed prior to coming in to the salon.
I hope this helped :)

It is rude and hateful the way you phrased it. I didn't know you could actually see ring worms, I mean that's a skin infection, so you must have super power vision. Not to mention that it would be a medical marvel to see a skin infection in someones hair.
So past the exaggerating your point, and being rude. Do you own your own salon? If so take the other advice and put up a sign saying hair must be freshly washed. If not go work at another salon, there are very few instances where black people go to predominately white salons, because most white people just don't have a clue about doing their(black peoples) hair. I cant even do my own. And good luck moving!

First and foremost you need Jesus!!! When you made the choice to become a stylist, that was a choice to just do hair. I'm a hairstylist who happens to be black, yet for one week straight all I did was white hair. Big deal, you need a reality check, it is not 1960 America is not segregated and if you want to continue to make money you need to suck it up and deal. Mold underneath a bun is highly unlikely unless you didn't completely dry their hair to begin with. Hey if you think moving though will solve your problem then go right ahead. Maybe you'll run across someone who can teach you a lesson.

If you are licensed, and work in a public place, I don't think you can legally refuse to do any ones hair. You can tell a person that you aren't good with their particular type hair without coming off racist.
PS -- Black live in all parts of the states, and I like it that way. Maybe you want to consider moving to a remote island where you are the only resident. Or south of the border. I saw very few blacks in Mexico and Central America.

Perhaps you should move, somewhere that you are the only resident. Or change your career. Or perhaps you should train so you know what to do with Afro hair rather than no understanding it, educate yourself, you may find it makes you a better person. I cannot believe how racist this comment is, it's just a different type of hair, and you should have thought about that before becoming a stylist.

You have a real problem!! You can't just lump a whole group of people into one category! I'm black and my hair has nine if that mess in it. I go to what ever kind of hairdresser I please because it's my hair and my money! You're a loser I would use a nasty word but you just NOT worth it!!!!! I hope one day you get the nerve to say that to someone that comes to get their hair done and they lay your A** out!!!

Sound like a change of profession is in order. Your local skinhead group may need a group head shaver.
I'm not a skinhead, just a 29 year old with a huge bald spot.
