Wow you really prove the devil every time. He said that black people will remain inferior to other race. And we always take the bait every time. Can you give information that will raise the vibration and self love of black people. Gossip cannot be the only thing we can contribute to humanity and it's bringing the collective energy down.this is why I will always respect nation of Islam.

@CerebralTheReal1 i don't have a hair or nail salon experience, but I do have a dating african men experience. Don't Do It. The first year & a half was great.👍🏽 . Then I found out he had a wife & kids back in 🇳🇬. Of course, things quickly escalated downhill from there. Money 💰 is there, God. Be warned ⚠️. They don't really like us. Only what they can get from us. Very ungrateful and low-key jealous of us is how I would describe them. Be warned ⚠️
Thanks for sharing this video I keep asking people why they keep going to African braid shops. They always say ,well they braid real good and fast.🤦🏾♀️ Where I live they are rude, nasty and talk to black women like we are nothing And black women still go to them to get their hair done. 15 yrs ago I went to one to ask how much they charged. The places was nasty. They had roaches on the comb. It was a baby sitting in the middle of the floor with a nasty full diaper that need to be changed. They were very rude, yelling what do you want. I left and never had a African braid my hair It is not that many black braid shops. So people try to find someone by word of mouth. I talked to one black hair dresser and she said the Africans have to come to the black hairdresser because it's a lot they don't know. They don't wash, condition and trim hair. They don't use shampoo and etc where they come from. They don't know how to take care of damage hair. So, they had to be taught by black hairdresser, black women who they dislike and out down. They come to America hating Blacks, but will kiss up to a white person in a minute.
@@CerebralTheReal1 "CAN YOU GIVE INFORMATION THAT WILL RAISE THE VIBRATION." WOW! THAT WAS A GREAT REQUEST. THAT PART . THAT IS WHERE THE FOCUS CAN GO. IM SURE THERES NO JUDGEMENT. ITS JUST THAT MANY , MANY ARE SOOOO TIRED OF DRAMA. I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND WHY THAT REQUEST WAS MADE. ....DONT YOU? READ THE COMMENTS AND YOU WILL SEE.....YEAH.....IT IS BRINGING THE COLLECTIVE ENERGY DOWN. BUT FOR SURE....YES ...DO YOU. ITS ALL LOVE ....ONLY. MUCH RESPECT.
And that’s the real all of these other cultures who come to this country see this disdain, and history of disrespect towards our bw and they think that if they piggyback on it, they’re gonna get some type of up lift from white people as just being foreign and different.
It's very easy every race does it, because look at how poorly we treat each other! We are the set examples. Treat each other as you wish to be treated! Plus, I honestly don't see what this girl is complaining about 🤣🤣🤣Black People please get mental health therapy, the internet is not therapist😂
@@lovegreen6679Look I ain’t saying all Africans but for the most part Africans don’t seem to like black Americans. They seem to think they are somehow better.
@carolynreed5620 That's all it takes word of mouth. This is why I share with my real sistas who do hair and nails the importance of getting their salon. Stop doing this out of your house. Hell, start your franchise for once. For all of you stylists and nail techs, there are grants out here that can help with the start-up cost. Get your credit together and go get that! 💰 A master class at no charge! Let's see who takes the bite.
@@funworkand243 We aren't all broke or living on credit. I am gainfully employeed by the US government for over 18 years and owe no man anything. If you are African, your whole country must be broke, and that's why you and others are over here. What went wrong??? Speak on that...
@@EstaJeanette-nk7fjthey not targeting no damn Africans for their styling… I don’t wear weaves or wigs but I know they’re trying to tap into black American hair market
The same thing happened to my daughter. She took up French in high school. They were talking about her, and she knew what they were saying. She shut them down. You're absolutely right that we're the ones keeping them in business.
Keep these people out of your hair, this is spiritually dangerous. You dont want their nasty vibes all up on your crown ladies. Glad they got called out.
@@ghostdeath0000 This is so correct! Seriously, they should all understand this by now. I indicated something similar to what you’re saying in an above comment.
I’m a black man. My girl is a black woman. I will sit and help my woman take her braids down and even wash. I be helping her find American braiders here in Atlanta. All cause I know from dating African women they can’t stand our women. Be damned they fuck up my girl head on some jealousy stuff. She already tender headed 💯
@@k.m.6449 you think that way because you’re unsecured. You think they are making jokes about you. There’s nothing wrong speaking to someone you know in a language you know better.
@@Fernandedjilo that's not true and you and I both know this. I worked somewhere where they'd do this from time to time so yea it absolutely happens. Anyway I agree speak the language everyone speaks it's good practice to make you more comfortable in the language anyway.
I'm A BLACK MAN And I Was Born And Raised In Georgia But I'm Fluent In Spanish( Lived Next To A Mexican Family For 8 Years 👍) I Went To A Latino Restaurant And There Were A Group Of Black Men At A Table I Was At The Bar 1 Employee Told Another In Spanish "I Hope We Don't Get Rob" The Other Said I Hate Waiting On Black People, I Went To The Table And Told The Guys What Was Said They Got Up To Leave And The Server Said Is There A Problem, I Said In Spanish " Yes There's A Problem They're Leaving Because You Think They Are Theives And BLACK I Left To And Didn't Pay For My Food!
@@sundaywhite6082Yes we do talk Abt each other. We shouldn't let people outside of us act like this. Contrary to popular belief, they not like us. They keep showing us.
@@sundaywhite6082 that's because the shop/business has dropped the ball on what it means to have proper customer services instead of a den of gossip and unproductive talk.
I'm so glad my daughter learned how to braid when she.was in high school. She's now in her forties & saves a lot of money by doing she & her daughters hair
@RachealKibaiya-r2p if you Kenya then you should know Africa is a continent not country. So if you had a problem with a Kenya hair dresser call them out as such don't be projecting that experience on women from 54 countries. Stop perpetuating ignorance
And they make your hair break sometimes. Not all of them are rude. But, if they are rude and speak rudely in their language, don’t patronize their business anymore. And, I give an honest review on Google, so everyone sees it!!
Ladies, I grew up in the 80s and there weren't many Africans here; we didn't even know any. All the black hairstylists and braiders were right in the neighborhood including my own family members. Please continue to learn our tradition of braiding hair. WE HAVE ALWAYS BRAIDED OUR OWN HAIR!
I went to a shop here in Houston and asked for a certain style and halfway through I went to use the restroom purposely because I can feel that what I wanted wasn’t being done. So I went to them and told them this is not what I wanted they began to ask for payment and I said no so they locked me in their shop wouldn’t let me out so my sister called the cops in the end they were charged with unlawful restraint and had to pay me 10k for pain and suffering! So ladies and gentlemen please beware don’t let them do you any kind of way!
@Lenep4194 Oh my God 😯 The African shops do this in my town here in Michigan! If you don't like the hairstyle and try to leave without paying! They will lock you in the shop While you are sitting telling them you don't like your hair They will grab the sharp scissors ✂️ And will cut ✂️ 😒 🙄 all of your braids out with sharp scissors ✂️ With one cut ✂️ Mary doesn't play in our town That's crazy! Sometimes, they will fight you as well 😮😢
This happens in Dominican hair salons as qell. My Black Puerto Rican cousin had to curse out a Dominican stylist for talking about her and other patrons having nappy hair. A Black Dominican with napp hair talking in Spanish about a Puer5o Rican with nappy hair. Just Crazy.
Not surprising. There’s lots of anti-blackness (racism, colorism, texturism etc.) in Latin countries and culture. The gag is that the Dominican Republic has such a large population of Dominicans with black ancestry but given the history of colonialism and enslavement and its effects, the brainwashing and self hate is at an all time high. I’ve even heard horror stories from black people about Dominican hair stylists slipping relaxers in their hair.
I go to a luxury black salon and do not deal with these issues. You get what you pay for! I would rather pay more for good customer service and quality work.
Also, visited a Korean market yesterday with my family. I wanted some lip oil and politely asked the lady if they sold it. She looked at me in disgust. I told my family we need to go and don’t come back. I’m not shopping or supporting any culture who dislike me because of my skin. They need us. Remember that!
@@ItsMeToYou Uh. Koreans are notorious for being very racist and discriminatory to darker skinned people. What she's saying is not farfetched at all. Doesnt matter if she looked busted or not tf
@Yemaya93 I am a black woman who has a very dear friend she is Korean, and she met Anerican man in Korea. They later married here in the US. She told me up on her arrival here that she was told not to trust nor have any dealings with blacks , that they steal , lie, cheat, and will kill you! Well, she told me it didn't take her long to figure out who the bad people were! She and I are very good friends we have lunch go shopping and celebrate different ocassions with our families! I've heard a few of these stories, and it sickens me how America treats black people, let alone foreigners. Shameful!
They trash talk because they are insecure. Because they are living outside their culture. When you are adapting to a new culture you try to compensate by trash talking.
When I used to go there, I noticed different braiders every 2 months I went. I was able to collect information and learned that women would come to the USA to work in the shops illegally and would leave when their Tourist visas expired. That’s why most of them would be CASH ONLY!! I speak 4 languages other than English fluently. French and Spanish included. I do not spend money in those salons. I do my own hair, manicures and pedicures. American ladies we can maintain our beauty.
I was once in a store where people were speaking Spanish. There was a cute little boy that did something that amused me and I laughed at the very moment someone said something that made others around them laugh. One customer turned and asked me if I speak Spanish. I smiled and said no, but deliberately made an asymmetrical grin. For some reason everyone stopped laughing. I have since learned to play that to my advantage. If they think you understand, they wont mess with you. If you suspect they are being nasty, pull up a Google Translate on your phone and let it catch a part of the conversation. Then make looks when they talk mess. They have automatic translation earbuds for travel now. Folks who take your money and mock you don’t deserve your business at all. 😊
Had an experience like this when I was about 13. Went to an African braiding shop n my mom left cause I was just at that age. Noticed they were talking French which excited me another place I can practice begin I was in a fluent French school since 1st grade. Well as I was listening to them talk and laugh I realized they were talking about ME….. a child! In the most unpleasant way. I interrupted and said, “ You guys should be careful talking bad in the shop about their clients cause u never know who can understand.” Surprised by me say this the lady asked me in English what I’m talking about? Calmly told her i was fluent in French and I understood everything they said even though African French is a different dialect, none the less, I understood. Laughing the lady asked me to translate something she said in English not believing me like Americans aren’t able to speak 2 languages or more. I laughed and told her what they were saying about me. They faces dropped 😂. For the rest of the time there they spoke English 🤭 pissed me off at 13!!!!!!

I learned years ago that the 'we're all black' thing doesn't exist outside of the US. A lot of foreign black people see dollar signs when they see black Americans, easy money because they know black people will here will support them just for being black.
@@Circee11 black people or Americans only do this. Rest of the world doesn’t care about what your skin color or ancestry is. Your nationality is what matters and where you grew up.
A lot of Black hairstylists who are from the states and do other Black ppl's hair are mean, too. Idk what it is. The lady who cuts my hair is Black, she's sweet and lovely and does a fabulous job on the squirrels nest I call hair (I'm yt/persian). Maybe it's because she works at a non-niche salon? I just don't know. We talk about hair a lot as I did some support work on the hair straightener investigation & commented on her natural hair one day. She said she had a struggle finding a stylist that came with a good vibe. It's so hard for y'all, those chemicals come with so many health risks, and then society is weird about y'all's hair no matter what you do with it, it's super high maintenance any way you go, and then the people who know how to take care of Black hair and do it professionally come off as REALLY not wanting to do it. 😞 My heart goes out to y'all.
@@Circee11 It is always so funny to me when black people in the US make general statements about black people. Like you know that there are black communities everywhere all over the world with a different background and experiences. And yes, for a lot of black people ethnicity, culture, tradition etc are much more important because outside of black americans, black people dont identify as one group to the same extent. Because our cultural background, history, language are very different from one another. Dont get me wrong, those women were in the wrong and when I was in the US my cousin, herself african, refused to took me to an American hair salon because she said at the african salon they would snathc my edges out of jelousy. I dont know whats up with all that but besides that, I find it odd sometimes how black americans view other black people....or at least that is how I take it, somewhat dismissive almost 🤷🏽
I don't go to Asian or African anything anymore including restaurants and beauty supply shops, nope; I'll drive to AA beauty supply shops no matter how far it is
Yearsssss ago I went to get my hair braided at an African hairbraider; however, the atmosphere was not the same as the phone conversation. They were very very rude. I had an appointment but was sat as a walk in. The same for nail salons, you may not speak the language but nonverbal communication is a universal language.
@vsims5987 AND many African American men just want to use African American women because they see them as easy and cheap with no responsibilities attached to it. Ultimate disrespect. After they use them, they say, bye, bye. Then African American women are left with unplanned, bastard children by two, three, and four different men. Unfortunately, this is the sad case for many easy, cheap African American women. This has to wreck havoc on the self-esteem. Please don't get angry at the truth. Out of all the different women in America, it's the loud, vulgar mouth, flip floppin, carpet think eyelashes, Rapunzel weave wearing, low quality type of African American women who have the most children out of wedlock. This is spiritually systemic from slavery. Its a continuous from slavery and they don't realize it. Good enough to sleep with. But not good enough to marry. This is sad, but true.
@@vsims5987 Their men want a lot more than the green card, which would explain why so many of them who ALREADY HAVE IT or who have citizenship, still chase us. 🤷🏾♀️
Lil Baby, speak for yourself 😂 I dont go to any of them. Never have. Never have had to. Nice try on assuming though. My mom is a licensed Cosmotologist and taught all 3 of her girls how to do their own hair.
Not salon related but my fiance caught someone talking about us in another language. I'm Black American and he's half Haitian and though he doesn't speak Creole often, he understands it very well. So many people assume he's not Haitian. We were in the grocery store with our baby and this man scold us in Creole simply because he was disgusted with us having our baby in the store mind you she was asleep and was not being disruptive or anything. Baby when I tell my fiance clapped back the look on that man's face was priceless 😂 This is one of the reasons why I'm motivated and determined to have my daughter learn multiple foreign languages throughout her childhood.
@KB43V3R I watched a video with a black man who said he was in a store in a line at the cashier and a little boy was crying for something in the store and the mother turned to the boy and said "I'm going to let that black man take you away if you don't stop" in Spanish not knowing that the black man speaks Spanish. He said to her "why are you teaching your son to be afraid of black men?" he said she was so shocked
Baby I had that happen to me and I speak French....I automatically jumped iinto the convo and they were shocked. I got up and told them I'm about to call ICE on yall and I left😂😂. The lady ran after me so fast while I was on the phone😂😂😂 And yes..I called ICE cuz I knew everyone in there wasnt legal. Yall got the RIGHT one today. 😂😂😂...And no the shop is no longer open. Guess some got deported ...HA
This happened to me too. Im native to America but I do speak French. This woman literally was saying my hair was nappy and hard to comb. I said, excuse me, I do not appreciate you talking about my hair like that. Everyone was shocked. They apologized. I havent been to that place since. My braider now is also american.
@TheCarnivoreSoprano I'm sorry! This same scenario happened to me. I said, "I'm black what do you expect my hair to be like?" Very rude! Haven't been back in a decade!
Not shocking at all. They have been getting really bold, especially lately. I refuse to put money in the hands of those who don't respect me. Let them lose money. NEXT!

These things happen everywhere. I’m black American but I went into a Dominican shop to buy diapers, many people ASSUME that I am Hispanic, since I was a kid. I grabbed a pack of diapers and the man in the store said no don’t take those, here take these. Bro, this guy handed me like 25 diapers and charge $8. $8‼️ … Another time I went to a different Dominican store, it was a restaurant this time for food. Again when I walked in they ASSUMED that I am Hispanic I got my food they charged me $9 for the food. I had a friend with me who is dark skin, we drove in her car but when we got there she decided she didn’t want anything and stayed in the car. When I came out with my food she changed her mind, went in for the same thing I had. When she came back out she’s like I didn’t know it was $13 🥴 SAME thing, SAME container, SAME everything but NOT the same price! Yes it was only a $4 difference, she was not treated the same! You guys, we have to watch it with these women of different cultures.
Ouch! On another note, I have a business and I will admit I am guilty of profiling. If I hear a white man on the phone, I will up the charge from $250 to $350. If I hear a guy on the other end and he sounds ghetto and hood, I will pretend to not have any better pricing and jump straight to the $250, I know they refuse to pay that much, even though that's the normal rate, I don't want any ghetto acting people in my business. This is one way I keep them away, pretending to not have any other deals.
@@Theclinicalconnection hello, I braid my own hair and I got my license as a nail tech so I simply polish my own nails and I’m good. I tell ppl all the time, LEARN whatever craft u can learn and safe yourself the stress.
I do my own crochets, but a black woman keeps me trimmed and does my braid downs. I drive 45 minutes and her shop is right there next to the Africans and Dominicans. There's no reason not to go to a black salon if it's there, even if she charges a little more. Otherwise, you gotta start learning to do it yourself. Black hair is too personal to go just anywhere.

As a child of African hair braiding salon's owner I really salute 🫡 you sister. Our African women really need a better understanding of our moral compass in this country and their roles in it.

Some of them carry a bitter and jealous spirit. Yep, she's not lying. I have bad experiences. Especially growing up as a kid. They will scorn my hair, won't touch it, then complain how it is hard to dry but won't put anything in my hair to get it soft, won't deep condition it or put heat protectant. I have learned to do my own hair that way I keep it healthy and long. When I get my hair braided I usually let my personal hairdresser wash out and treat my hair before I go these people don't handle your hair with care.
Im married to a Gambian man and when I go to events those African women look at me dirty and talk about me in their other language. Laughing and cackling talking about "the American "
It's about that hustle culture tenfold because a lot of these jobs aren't loyal and worth it anymore. If you aren't working for somebody else, you're working for yourself.

😂girl we know how to braid we’re just stereotyped as ghetto . When everybody know them African shops be a mess. Anytime we have cultur it’s slandered as ghetto
I went to a place in Hackensack,NJ….if you know you know. I caught one of them talking shyt to the braider doing my hair. I speak and understand French 🇭🇹 as well. I always tell them not to touch my edges. In French the commentator snickers to my braider (also 🇭🇹) and says “what edges?🤭” i respond in French “you’re talking?! Your edges start at your crown, living a carefree life with your Jefferson”. I paid my braider and never returned. Another place said in French how their hands hurt and we’re planning on just braiding massive and messy in the back bc I can’t see it. I called them out and made them fix it; never went to them ever again. I now go to a Black American Hair salon that pampers me also braids and nails.
OMG....smack down!!! 🤣🤣🤣 It really didn't have to come to that, but they got caught being Ma'am Petty. I wish I remembered more of my high school French. I was getting pretty good.
My nine year old granddaughter told me they were talking about her the first and the last time we went to the African shop to get her hair done. She didn't understand what they were saying, but vibes don't lie.
When my daughter was young 8 to 10 years old, I used to send her to the African Braiding shop in San Francisco. The girl who would braid my daughter's hair was the owner's daughter. So I always requested the owner's daughter to do my child's hair. Soon I noticed that the owner refused to allow her daughter to do my child's hair. I just took it in stride because they had a lot of other braiders. But I really liked the owner's daughter, because she was patient & nice to my child. One day after I picked my daughter up from the African Braiding Shop, my child told me. "Mommy I heard the owner say to the girl braiding my hair that doing my hair was like dancing with the devil?!" That was the last time I ever step foot in that place again. Imagine saying this so that a child hears you! This TH-cam video is very truthful & real.
@hadlee189 So the lady stopped letting her daughter braid your daughters hair because of the dancing with the devil mess....is it because she didn't like you?...That woman sounds hateful and weird...probably all kinds of superstitious too.
@@suzanne1430 No, the owner of the Braid Shop stopped allowing her daughter to do my child's hair way before she said the insulting statement to my daughter. But after my child told me what the owner said it made me realize why she stopped allowing her daughter to do my child's head. The owner didn't like us American Black Folks!
@hadlee189 , sorry about your daughter's experience. I wonder if the shop owner was jealous of her own daughter because, unfortunately, mother/daughter jealousy is not uncommon.
As a retired black American braider, this is sad. I feel bad for the clients because there are genuinely great clients out there and when you take care of them, they become like family and will take care of you and you don’t even expect it. During the pandemic some of my clients would send me money out of nowhere just to make sure I was good. They came to my baby shower, got me a wedding gift, wish me well when I went back to school. My clientele really blessed me.
See this is the bs, she heard what they were saying, knew it was Fd up, didn't agree, but stayed on CODE with her African sisters! She didn't say anything to the black women being disrespected! This proves that they dont like us! Beware black women!
@chariseh9524 that's a question you have to ask her! Posting the video after the fact was a level of protection, that was her staying on code! If she was that passionate about them being wrong, she would've let everyone know right then and there!

No lie, I went to an African Hair Braiding shop Today. All I wanted was two French braids. She said $70! I was already annoyed. Then to make it worst, She didn’t even want to detangle My hair. I volunteered to detangle My hair Myself. She started talking shit about Me in another language. Then She started complaining about My hair being so nappy. I said I’m natural what do You mean? I said, this is African hair braiding and You don’t know how to do Black People hair? She asked Me to go home wash and detangle My hair, and pay Her $70 for two braids. I said f*** it and walked out. I went to the beauty school and got a silk press and My hair is almost to the middle of My back now.
Trust me black Americans hair aren't nowhere near as nappy as an African they're jealous of black Americans and wish they were in our place as real Americans
“Aren’t you a hairdresser, what’s the problem?” ~ Relaxed, 12 year old me to a stylist/braider who was complaining about my hair she insisted I wash before coming in. Yes, she ended up ripping out a lot of my hair and it was WORTH IT 😂😂. I have walked and been kicked out of salons for speaking up. It was such a problem for my mom, that she ended up learning how to do it herself. I learned early to never allow anyone to degrade me ✌🏾😌
I hope ALL of them go out of business... I'm honestly tired of ALL foreigners so maybe they'll take a hint and go back where they came from... and hopefully a Black American woman who is interested in that line of work can take the business that those African shops SHOULD NOT have been getting to begin with...
Black women that are being disrespected by African braiders need to stop supporting them and any other business that does this bs. Report these businesses to the attorney general for false advertising and overcharging and the IRS for taxes they only accept cash and tips which they aren’t reporting it to the IRS. They need to audited.

I keep asking people why they keep going to African braid shops.
They always say ,well they braid real good and fast.🤦🏾♀️
Where I live they are rude, nasty and talk to black women like we are nothing
And black women still go to them to get their hair done.
15 yrs ago I went to one to ask how much they charged.
The places was nasty.
They had roaches on the comb. It was a baby sitting in the middle of the floor with a nasty full diaper that need to be changed.
They were very rude, yelling what do you want.
I left and never had a African braid my hair
It is not that many black braid shops. So people try to find someone by word of mouth.
I talked to one black hair dresser and she said the Africans have to come to the black hairdresser because it's a lot they don't know.
They don't wash, condition and trim hair.
They don't use shampoo and etc where they come from.
They don't know how to take care of damage hair.
So, they had to be taught by black hairdresser, black women who they dislike and out down.
They come to America hating Blacks, but will kiss up to a white person in a minute.

@RachealKibaiya-r2p if you Kenya then you should know Africa is a continent not country. So if you had a problem with a Kenya hair dresser call them out as such don't be projecting that experience on women from 54 countries. Stop perpetuating ignorance
And they make your hair break sometimes. Not all of them are rude. But, if they are rude and speak rudely in their language, don’t patronize their business anymore. And, I give an honest review on Google, so everyone sees it!!

It happens in Africa as well!! I’m from Cape Town and it’s APPALLING!
Ladies, I grew up in the 80s and there weren't many Africans here; we didn't even know any. All the black hairstylists and braiders were right in the neighborhood including my own family members. Please continue to learn our tradition of braiding hair. WE HAVE ALWAYS BRAIDED OUR OWN HAIR!
@TeeCG amen please tell em again
Always!
True!
Yes, in the 70s we braided each others hair. And we did have to put weave in it.

I went to a shop here in Houston and asked for a certain style and halfway through I went to use the restroom purposely because I can feel that what I wanted wasn’t being done. So I went to them and told them this is not what I wanted they began to ask for payment and I said no so they locked me in their shop wouldn’t let me out so my sister called the cops in the end they were charged with unlawful restraint and had to pay me 10k for pain and suffering! So ladies and gentlemen please beware don’t let them do you any kind of way!

This happens in Dominican hair salons as qell. My Black Puerto Rican cousin had to curse out a Dominican stylist for talking about her and other patrons having nappy hair. A Black Dominican with napp hair talking in Spanish about a Puer5o Rican with nappy hair. Just Crazy.
They all wish they were spain white while Spain looks at Latin America as a shithole full of savages and mudhuts
Not surprising. There’s lots of anti-blackness (racism, colorism, texturism etc.) in Latin countries and culture. The gag is that the Dominican Republic has such a large population of Dominicans with black ancestry but given the history of colonialism and enslavement and its effects, the brainwashing and self hate is at an all time high.
I’ve even heard horror stories from black people about Dominican hair stylists slipping relaxers in their hair.
They just stupid they one of us. they don't know who they are either they BLACK too
Yup!
Yessss!
I go to a luxury black salon and do not deal with these issues. You get what you pay for! I would rather pay more for good customer service and quality work.
Also, visited a Korean market yesterday with my family. I wanted some lip oil and politely asked the lady if they sold it. She looked at me in disgust. I told my family we need to go and don’t come back. I’m not shopping or supporting any culture who dislike me because of my skin. They need us. Remember that!
@@Yemaya93, Koreans have high standards on looks, regardless of skin color. Are you sure you weren't looking busted?
@@ItsMeToYou Uh. Koreans are notorious for being very racist and discriminatory to darker skinned people. What she's saying is not farfetched at all. Doesnt matter if she looked busted or not tf

@Yemaya93 I am a black woman who has a very dear friend she is Korean, and she met Anerican man in Korea. They later married here in the US. She told me up on her arrival here that she was told not to trust nor have any dealings with blacks , that they steal , lie, cheat, and will kill you! Well, she told me it didn't take her long to figure out who the bad people were! She and I are very good friends we have lunch go shopping and celebrate different ocassions with our families! I've heard a few of these stories, and it sickens me how America treats black people, let alone foreigners. Shameful!

@@Alkemimi Right I would have told them and shut that ish down
They trash talk because they are insecure. Because they are living outside their culture. When you are adapting to a new culture you try to compensate by trash talking.
When I used to go there, I noticed different braiders every 2 months I went. I was able to collect information and learned that women would come to the USA to work in the shops illegally and would leave when their Tourist visas expired. That’s why most of them would be CASH ONLY!! I speak 4 languages other than English fluently. French and Spanish included. I do not spend money in those salons. I do my own hair, manicures and pedicures. American ladies we can maintain our beauty.

I was once in a store where people were speaking Spanish. There was a cute little boy that did something that amused me and I laughed at the very moment someone said something that made others around them laugh. One customer turned and asked me if I speak Spanish. I smiled and said no, but deliberately made an asymmetrical grin. For some reason everyone stopped laughing. I have since learned to play that to my advantage. If they think you understand, they wont mess with you. If you suspect they are being nasty, pull up a Google Translate on your phone and let it catch a part of the conversation. Then make looks when they talk mess. They have automatic translation earbuds for travel now. Folks who take your money and mock you don’t deserve your business at all. 😊

Had an experience like this when I was about 13. Went to an African braiding shop n my mom left cause I was just at that age. Noticed they were talking French which excited me another place I can practice begin I was in a fluent French school since 1st grade. Well as I was listening to them talk and laugh I realized they were talking about ME….. a child! In the most unpleasant way. I interrupted and said, “ You guys should be careful talking bad in the shop about their clients cause u never know who can understand.” Surprised by me say this the lady asked me in English what I’m talking about? Calmly told her i was fluent in French and I understood everything they said even though African French is a different dialect, none the less, I understood. Laughing the lady asked me to translate something she said in English not believing me like Americans aren’t able to speak 2 languages or more. I laughed and told her what they were saying about me. They faces dropped 😂. For the rest of the time there they spoke English 🤭 pissed me off at 13!!!!!!
I wouldn't have proved a damn thing to them who tf are they....and that's what I wouldve told them

@@Circee11 black people or Americans only do this. Rest of the world doesn’t care about what your skin color or ancestry is. Your nationality is what matters and where you grew up.
@@ihanakaunotar2741 Then why are more and more people speaking out about being mistreated when traveling abroad?
It doesn’t exist in America either if we’re being completely honest.
A lot of Black hairstylists who are from the states and do other Black ppl's hair are mean, too. Idk what it is.
The lady who cuts my hair is Black, she's sweet and lovely and does a fabulous job on the squirrels nest I call hair (I'm yt/persian). Maybe it's because she works at a non-niche salon? I just don't know.
We talk about hair a lot as I did some support work on the hair straightener investigation & commented on her natural hair one day. She said she had a struggle finding a stylist that came with a good vibe. It's so hard for y'all, those chemicals come with so many health risks, and then society is weird about y'all's hair no matter what you do with it, it's super high maintenance any way you go, and then the people who know how to take care of Black hair and do it professionally come off as REALLY not wanting to do it. 😞 My heart goes out to y'all.
@@Circee11 It is always so funny to me when black people in the US make general statements about black people. Like you know that there are black communities everywhere all over the world with a different background and experiences. And yes, for a lot of black people ethnicity, culture, tradition etc are much more important because outside of black americans, black people dont identify as one group to the same extent. Because our cultural background, history, language are very different from one another. Dont get me wrong, those women were in the wrong and when I was in the US my cousin, herself african, refused to took me to an American hair salon because she said at the african salon they would snathc my edges out of jelousy. I dont know whats up with all that but besides that, I find it odd sometimes how black americans view other black people....or at least that is how I take it, somewhat dismissive almost 🤷🏽

Bad attitude and nasty customer service must never be rewarded with money. All skin folk ain't kinfolk, and BW have the right to withdraw support for anyone at any time. Shaming us isn't working anymore in 2024. Where BW choose to spend their money is exactly that. A choice! And we, so-called "blacks" aren't a monolith. Some of us actually do have self-respect.
These things happen everywhere. I’m black American but I went into a Dominican shop to buy diapers, many people ASSUME that I am Hispanic, since I was a kid. I grabbed a pack of diapers and the man in the store said no don’t take those, here take these. Bro, this guy handed me like 25 diapers and charge $8. $8‼️ … Another time I went to a different Dominican store, it was a restaurant this time for food. Again when I walked in they ASSUMED that I am Hispanic I got my food they charged me $9 for the food. I had a friend with me who is dark skin, we drove in her car but when we got there she decided she didn’t want anything and stayed in the car. When I came out with my food she changed her mind, went in for the same thing I had. When she came back out she’s like I didn’t know it was $13 🥴 SAME thing, SAME container, SAME everything but NOT the same price! Yes it was only a $4 difference, she was not treated the same! You guys, we have to watch it with these women of different cultures.
Correct I am Puerto Rican and they NEVER think I understand Spanish because I don't look it. The only time they're cautious if they see my last name.
It’s discrimination period. Smh
Ouch! On another note, I have a business and I will admit I am guilty of profiling. If I hear a white man on the phone, I will up the charge from $250 to $350. If I hear a guy on the other end and he sounds ghetto and hood, I will pretend to not have any better pricing and jump straight to the $250, I know they refuse to pay that much, even though that's the normal rate, I don't want any ghetto acting people in my business. This is one way I keep them away, pretending to not have any other deals.
Did you go in and say something about it? Cause if you didn’t you kinda just as bad as the people who charged you less than they charged the friend.
@@BamPowBoom11you know she didn’t.
I love the way you express yourself. Great mindset. Thank you for sharing your experience I hope this can be a positive lesson to these businesses
That’s why I do my own braids and nails
That's it❤
🎯🎯🎯🎯
@@Theclinicalconnection hello, I braid my own hair and I got my license as a nail tech so I simply polish my own nails and I’m good. I tell ppl all the time, LEARN whatever craft u can learn and safe yourself the stress.
Me too!!!
Braid your own Hair.Take a nail course, do your own nails.
I'm not surprised we have no allies but stop giving them your money they don't deserve it anyway
Right I will stop
Exactly
Just why I don't go to them anymore, I'll take me and my lazy money that they claim I don't have elsewhere.
Same with the Asian nail shop and beauty supply stores.
You said that "we have no allies" smh
I do my own crochets, but a black woman keeps me trimmed and does my braid downs. I drive 45 minutes and her shop is right there next to the Africans and Dominicans. There's no reason not to go to a black salon if it's there, even if she charges a little more. Otherwise, you gotta start learning to do it yourself. Black hair is too personal to go just anywhere.
Way too personal 💯
@@farmhouseonthemountain Yeap, it’s right next to having a wonderful doctor, dentist and good auto mechanic.
That’s the thing. BLK folks go into business and they charge too much!
I love this. Thank you for caring and sharing.
B1 only. Quit going to Asian Nail Shops; African Braiding Shops and Chinese Beauty Supply. Support our own Foundational Black American businesses B1!
@@MaLiArtworks186 Yet u have an African as your pfp, hilarious how u guys have been anti African for the longest but then cry victim when the roles are now reversed 😂😂🤦🏿
It's not uncommon for Africans to be tribalistic, even towards other Africans.@@Aggy38447
The problem is that there is no foundational black american business. They were all looted by the same black african Americans
I know right so laughable@@Aggy38447
Chinese/asian restaurants 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮. Even my old Vietnamese nail tech said dont ever eat chinese food. He was like “bad for stomach”. Now if he say its bad, then its fkn bad.
As a child of African hair braiding salon's owner I really salute 🫡 you sister. Our African women really need a better understanding of our moral compass in this country and their roles in it.
@@fatimkamara3161 Heavy on it!!!
@@fatimkamara3161 it's not just hair braiders, nurses, doctors, my sister s African aide. Long over due comment....thank you
I haven't been to them in years. I couldn't tolerate the RUDE/ DISRESPECT AND HAIR LOSS. We need to have more PATIENCE AND LOVE for our own hair. I started doing my own hair now its thriving to my upper chest .
THIS!! I've been braiding my OWN hair for the last year!! It's so HEALTHY!! 🥰
Lol yeah that part❤😅😅
Thanks For The Exposure 🙏🏾 So Sad. I Found Me A American Black Braider And She Great And Fast ❤🙌🏾
Those people have an ominous spirit in them. Stay out of their businesses.
All Africans? Did you verify? .... that's sarcasm just in case you didn't get it. Stop with your general assumption
@@funworkand243
Case closed - that just proved her point - just in case you didnt get it.
Yall blacks are wasting YOUR TIME. Save this energy for the Korean and Chinese hair shops. Yall won’t say anything about shutting down those businesses THEY TALK ABOUT YOU AS THEY ARE TAKING YOUR MONEY. But I get it that area is locked it’s monopolized, you can’t get your horse hair from any where else. So no one will say anything. Save that victim mentality for something else!
True.
i have said that for a long time, even in their country
Some of them carry a bitter and jealous spirit. Yep, she's not lying. I have bad experiences. Especially growing up as a kid. They will scorn my hair, won't touch it, then complain how it is hard to dry but won't put anything in my hair to get it soft, won't deep condition it or put heat protectant. I have learned to do my own hair that way I keep it healthy and long. When I get my hair braided I usually let my personal hairdresser wash out and treat my hair before I go these people don't handle your hair with care.
Im married to a Gambian man and when I go to events those African women look at me dirty and talk about me in their other language. Laughing and cackling talking about "the American "
@@beans9499 I'm so sorry that is your experience. Sounds like jealousy.
Yes the do this alot. I had an ex who was African who said his family disliked him dating American Black women. Smh
Most Africans wish they were white they are a bunch of self hating 3rd worlders
How did you manage to translate all that 'in their other language'?
Jealousy
A friend cut off her 20 year old locs. A lazy stylist combined some braids in the back to speed things up - and did other damage.
What did Dr. Clark say? "We have no allies." I say let the white and nonblack women support their braiding business.
Exactly! Them folks will run them clean out of town to whatever hut they hail from! 🤣
@@Tigerlily_Fresh To the village they go.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly
@@Bloombaby99 Why would we white girls go to a braiding salon?! Seriously.
Nope. No non black women goes there. IF they do, it's rare.
It's about that hustle culture tenfold because a lot of these jobs aren't loyal and worth it anymore. If you aren't working for somebody else, you're working for yourself. In order to eat and survive, *everybody is gonna have to use ingenuity and they're gonna have to have a major attitude adjustment* because *NOBODY* is in the habit of supporting businesses that disrespects them!
Everybody needs BW for something but treats us like shit. It's not going on anymore.
This is why I twist and braid my own hair.
Me too child!
@@TwilaB0721 yes me too
That part
SAME 👍🏽👍🏽
Exactly there’s not a style of braids that I won’t attempt. Thanks goodness to my sisters of TH-cam.
We need to teach young black African American girls how to braid.
😂girl we know how to braid we’re just stereotyped as ghetto . When everybody know them African shops be a mess. Anytime we have cultur it’s slandered as ghetto
All the girls I go to are African American stylist. Since when we can’t braid?😂😂 they learned from us
Yes, Africans should open up braiding schools
So true. When Africans arrived their braiding was very plain. Blk Americans had it going on with their braiding. @@lookatdadamage94
@@lookatdadamage94right lol I’m lost on this lol we all can do our own hair lmao 🤣
ÇA! THATTTTTTTTT PART! BON TRAVAIL GOOD JOB 4 SHARING THIS SIS!
I went to a place in Hackensack,NJ….if you know you know. I caught one of them talking shyt to the braider doing my hair. I speak and understand French 🇭🇹 as well. I always tell them not to touch my edges. In French the commentator snickers to my braider (also 🇭🇹) and says “what edges?🤭” i respond in French “you’re talking?! Your edges start at your crown, living a carefree life with your Jefferson”. I paid my braider and never returned.
Another place said in French how their hands hurt and we’re planning on just braiding massive and messy in the back bc I can’t see it. I called them out and made them fix it; never went to them ever again.
I now go to a Black American Hair salon that pampers me also braids and nails.
@@roseq536 Where's that salon? I would love to go there.
@roseq536 same where is that one?
OMG....smack down!!! 🤣🤣🤣
It really didn't have to come to that, but they got caught being Ma'am Petty. I wish I remembered more of my high school French. I was getting pretty good.
I don't know why they think all Black people in America are Black American or don't speak another language
@@lilliathmanigault9397 True indeed
I'm a Caribbean -American woman and I speak French/ Creole/ and some Spanish
My nine year old granddaughter told me they were talking about her the first and the last time we went to the African shop to get her hair done. She didn't understand what they were saying, but vibes don't lie.
💯 I go by reactions!
Smart girl. It is good she listened to her intuition.
When my daughter was young 8 to 10 years old, I used to send her to the African Braiding shop in San Francisco. The girl who would braid my daughter's hair was the owner's daughter. So I always requested the owner's daughter to do my child's hair. Soon I noticed that the owner refused to allow her daughter to do my child's hair. I just took it in stride because they had a lot of other braiders. But I really liked the owner's daughter, because she was patient & nice to my child. One day after I picked my daughter up from the African Braiding Shop, my child told me. "Mommy I heard the owner say to the girl braiding my hair that doing my hair was like dancing with the devil?!" That was the last time I ever step foot in that place again. Imagine saying this so that a child hears you! This TH-cam video is very truthful & real.
@hadlee189 So the lady stopped letting her daughter braid your daughters hair because of the dancing with the devil mess....is it because she didn't like you?...That woman sounds hateful and weird...probably all kinds of superstitious too.
@@suzanne1430 No, the owner of the Braid Shop stopped allowing her daughter to do my child's hair way before she said the insulting statement to my daughter. But after my child told me what the owner said it made me realize why she stopped allowing her daughter to do my child's head. The owner didn't like us American Black Folks!
@hadlee189 , sorry about your daughter's experience.
I wonder if the shop owner was jealous of her own daughter because, unfortunately, mother/daughter jealousy is not uncommon.
Crazy asf scaring the babies for no reason
This is so true.... Thank you for bringing this to others attention!!!
If U wanna keep your edges, Don't let the Africans Do Your Hair!! 😅
True! I’m African lol
@@Drina-sq3zg 😆
FACTS, I NEVER GO TO AFRICAN OR NON AMERICAN SHOPS
@SharonScoleman, I know that's right
This is why I don't go to places I dont speak language and they dont have their prices laid out. I am tried of being over charged and disrespected!
As a retired black American braider, this is sad. I feel bad for the clients because there are genuinely great clients out there and when you take care of them, they become like family and will take care of you and you don’t even expect it. During the pandemic some of my clients would send me money out of nowhere just to make sure I was good. They came to my baby shower, got me a wedding gift, wish me well when I went back to school. My clientele really blessed me.
THEY'RE JEALOUS! KEEP IT MOVING, BABY!
See this is the bs, she heard what they were saying, knew it was Fd up, didn't agree, but stayed on CODE with her African sisters!
She didn't say anything to the black women being disrespected! This proves that they dont like us! Beware black women!
So what's the purpose of the video? To let more people know
@chariseh9524 that's a question you have to ask her! Posting the video after the fact was a level of protection, that was her staying on code! If she was that passionate about them being wrong, she would've let everyone know right then and there!
She definitely stayed on code with her African sisters, and I bet she wrnt to another African stylist
@Mslele-g You know it sis!!
Exactly
I’m so glad I learned how to braid my own hair and do my own nails 😊
It happens in Asia store too! Very bad!
❤❤❤thanks for sharing I never understood going my friends always complained about edges and it being to tight
I'm glad she shared I'll never go to a African braiding shop again 😊

Never!!!
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING AWARENESS TO ALL! I APPRECIATE THE HONESTY 🙌🏽
No lie, I went to an African Hair Braiding shop Today. All I wanted was two French braids. She said $70! I was already annoyed. Then to make it worst, She didn’t even want to detangle My hair. I volunteered to detangle My hair Myself. She started talking shit about Me in another language. Then She started complaining about My hair being so nappy. I said I’m natural what do You mean? I said, this is African hair braiding and You don’t know how to do Black People hair? She asked Me to go home wash and detangle My hair, and pay Her $70 for two braids. I said f*** it and walked out. I went to the beauty school and got a silk press and My hair is almost to the middle of My back now.
Trust me black Americans hair aren't nowhere near as nappy as an African they're jealous of black Americans and wish they were in our place as real Americans
“Aren’t you a hairdresser, what’s the problem?”
~ Relaxed, 12 year old me to a stylist/braider who was complaining about my hair she insisted I wash before coming in.
Yes, she ended up ripping out a lot of my hair and it was WORTH IT 😂😂. I have walked and been kicked out of salons for speaking up. It was such a problem for my mom, that she ended up learning how to do it herself. I learned early to never allow anyone to degrade me ✌🏾😌
People forget about getting their hair done at the colleges beauty school. They charge $10-$15.
Good for you, they do not know how to detangle hair properly. You would have been bald.
girl the black american stylists do this too, next
Coming from an African, we have the worst customer service on the planet.
Yep
Who is we? Speak for yourself
Caribbeans too especially a Jamaican restaurant folks be rude as hell
And y'all do!!!!
Same with black owned businesses
Africans braiding salons, dominican Salons and Asian nail salon they All do it
I appreciate the way you handled this situation. We need to come together not divide. Respect and give space for grace.
I know you said it’s not all African braiders but in MS so many shops gotten closed because the way they treat Black American women.
@@Sunny-tc3ul I was wondering where they went when I moved from DC (where they are abundant) back home to MS
I hope ALL of them go out of business... I'm honestly tired of ALL foreigners so maybe they'll take a hint and go back where they came from... and hopefully a Black American woman who is interested in that line of work can take the business that those African shops SHOULD NOT have been getting to begin with...
Black women that are being disrespected by African braiders need to stop supporting them and any other business that does this bs. Report these businesses to the attorney general for false advertising and overcharging and the IRS for taxes they only accept cash and tips which they aren’t reporting it to the IRS. They need to audited.
Facts! Report them!
Report
