I'm really worried about the owner. She is sitting when everyone around her is standing. It makes me think she lost a lot of mobility because of her weight... This is a sweet idea and everyone deserves to feel beautiful and worthy, but I really hope she looks after her health... She doesn't deserve to die young because of it. Nobody does...
Well...... Who's fault is it she can't stand? Stop ignoring the reason she can't stand. She can't stop eating! The whole culture that people aren't responsible for their own actions is sickening. Weakest generation in the history of the United States. Every one gets a trophy so no one loses. Well this chick lost the lottery by her own actions. No sympathy from me.
@@tanimiah7127 I'm not a 50yo but ya, your generation is the softest that's ever been. Spoiled, participation trophy, coddled babies where the men are now boys who couldn't survive without complaining and getting handouts. Something like that. The truth being I've seen the changes in generations. If this generation was in WWII we'd all be speaking German
I'm here for the concept, it's refreshing to see all these women happy and all dolled up. However, I think there's a very fine line between accepting and loving yourself and straight up being in denial. You're hurting yourself I mean you can't even move from your chair for crying out loud!!! Your weight is alarming at this point
But what's she in denial about exactly? She knows shes a big woman and she wants to feel beautiful and comfortable in her own skin and she obviously wants to make other women like her, feel that way too. These women obviously know they're big, but they're still people and they're still beautiful. I feel like fat women can't say or do anything because people always have to remind then that they're fat and 'unhealthy' and honestly it's stupid. I'm glad that these women have a place like this to love each other and be beautiful.
Read my comment again because YOU OBVIOUSLY didn't get the point and you're twisting my words into something they're not. I talked specifically about the owner of the salon, NOT ALL WOMEN WHO GO TO THAT SALON because in case you didn't see it, her weight is sort of a disability to her. Who said she's not beautiful? How do you make a positive comment into something negative? I genuinely felt bad for her it wasn't hate nor fatshaming and the idea is AMAZING I wish more people would do that in the future. Have a good day!
As a personal trainer that's worked with special populations for 20 years, I've seen the devastation that comes from years of being obese. I actually love that these women have a place to go to feel beautiful and pampered because every woman deserves that. However, if they continue to live this way the consequences will be devastating and the damage done irreversible.
Yeah weight loss doesn’t happen overnight and I could see having a place like this can keep you upbeat and on track. Instead of rewarding yourself with ice cream get your nails done. They should have healthier treats though like chocolate avocado pudding sweetened with stevia instead of regular cupcakes
Charlene Ortiz Training im trying to break free of addiction it has been my worst struggle working through forgiveness of others and self. Thank you for what you do ❤🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏻
Thank you!! She had a normal BMI, what made her different was that models from her era were thin, so she was a standout. She was not overweight, just had a fuller figure compared to other models.
@@azucenagomez4887 She was not a size 12 by today's standard by any means. Vintage sizing is vastly different from our current system. Her proportions would make her roughly between a 0-4 our sizing now. I was a size zero at 5'4 when I was 115 pounds (by today's standard). She was never over 120 @ 5'6. This is her full size rundown: August 2, 1945 Blue Book Modeling Agency 5’ 6”, 120lbs 36-24-34 “Size 12” February 8, 1954 DOD ID Card 5’ 5 1/2”, 118lbs August 5, 1962 LA Coroner Medical Report 5’ 5 1/25”, 117lbs
the owner lady cannot even stand up. She is very beautiful though. Now i am not dogging her, i am very very overweight too, and i am getting to the point of not being able to stand for long periods of time either. I get the whole big and beautiful thing, but when you get tot he point of not being able to stand to even like shower, something has to be done. I will not turn 50 and be in a wheel chair. I cannot. I do love this concept, but they should also think about maybe serving healthier foods and not cupcakes, or low carb/sugar cupcakes. I dont know. I am not a hater, although i hate how large i am. So a am a hater to myself i suppose.
Lindsey Morgan Don't hate yourself, think positively and start by making small changes. I'm sure weight loss is daunting but you are more than capable of succeeding, you just need a game plan!
I am a big girl too i need to eat all the time so i got rid of chips sodas cupcakes candies and shifted to fruits and vegetables instead it helped a lot. You'll find your own way of making a difference about yourself maybe start by not hating yourself, you know your fault that's a good thing
Plus size acceptance is great and I love this idea of a salon....BUT (and y'all know what I'm gonna say), not being able to stand up is not ok. I workout hard 4 days a week and am plus sized....girl...ya gotta move!
True...and that fat acceptance is a wrong thing coz its encouraging big people not to lose weight and live healthier and longer...i know how hard it is to lose weight coz im also on my own journey...i was 260lbs and starting to have illnesses and i was so scared to die young..i tried my hardest to eat the right and healthy foods and do different kinds of exercise and it paid off coz im now 175lbs and sticking to my diet and regular workout.
You have little collagen strings in your muscles, healthy ones are in the shape of a lattice, and unhealthy ones are tangled and matted. If you don’t move, eventually they won’t work anymore, so this is very concerning
Jamie is not plus size she’s morbidly obese and on the verge to her grave people keep it 💯 This is so sad. Not saying I don’t accept the plus size community but this is just scary.
Exactly she has a good thing going for herself why wouldn’t she want to be around to enjoy that I’m not saying she haft to be skinny mini but she should try and lose some weight she has a pretty face
@@lizzieslife4171 do you even know that 500lb is unhealthy and obese is a health danger the other ones are plus sized Wich is not dangerous but 500lb is healthy?
I agree with you, i know that people have their own live, it's their life they can live whatever they want, we don't have right to judge them ,but they should think about their health. I used to fat so fat, one day i feel tired and come to Dr he said that the fat is cover my kidney, my liver , i have fat in my blood also. That why i feel tired, then i decide to lose weight. Now i feel better. Because i don't want people take of me wheb i'm sick, they have their own life i don't want them waste their time for me, and i don't want to waste my time on bed or in hospital, so many things wait for me to do... They should think for their health
I think this is a great concept! but the founder/ceo is sitting in the chair the WHOLE time even if you feel beautiful and comfortable with your size that should worry you.
Ms.Grande they're speaking the truth. I gained 60 pounds in the last year or so. I can't stand on my feet very long because of my weight. Not to mention I have sleeping issues. I barely 230 lbs at 6'6"! You can't be sensitive about health. No one's shaming her.
iam glad these women have a place to hangout and feel comfortable together , but still i feel bad for all of them , they are so nice but i don't want them to get health issues , i mean the owner herself can't even standup to greet people. it's a proplem
There is no problem in accepting yourself but the problem is when you have a serious issue and instead of fixing it, your promoting for it and feeling proud, sigh, how the world is thinking
People now are too soft on themselves. They'll never admit that they need to change You can still love yourself and strive to live healthier, which is proof of self-love, but eh, it's how they want to live I guess. I'm just afraid the younger ones are gonna learn from these people
As a person who has battle with weight, I get and understand the concept of the salon. It's a great feeling and should be a natural feeling to be accepted anywhere you go. Especially when it comes to a place where you want to feel and look beautiful. Unfortunately that's not always the situation, so I get it and love this salon just for that reason in itself. I just hope and pray that it is also in these beautiful women interests to want to be healthy. I'm not saying lose a lot of weight but at the same time if your weight is taking away from normal everyday abilities, it's time time to rethink some things. Because now it's about life or death. And as someone who has battled with it, it not a great life to live with being over weight. And I'm just speaking from the physical aspect. Tiredness, in pain from standing at work. I'm glad I lose the weight.
I am all for loving yourself no matter what size you are. However, if that size inhibits your ability to function and go about everyday tasks it's a problem. The salon owner appears as if she is unable to walk. She did not get out of that chair once. That's sad.
good for you, but it's not your place to comment on her health or anyone else's. she's an adult. let her deal with her own health on her own. do you not want that respect from other people? i know i do.
peach e Ok luv! Your voice was heard. You can rest easy tonight K?😘 If you read my comment and got something negative out of it, you clearly just want to nitpick. That's fine. From a BBW to another I want to nothing but encourage and that's what I did. Nothing negative from my comment. You take care🙂
I mean, this is very cute and being plus size isn't an issue. But there is a difference between plus size and obese. And too be so big to where you cannot stand that's a health issue. I love this idea and what it stands for but your health is your wealth and 31 is too young to be that big.
I agree, it's find to be a little overweight, no problem with that, but if these people truly love themselves they should lose weight and start caring about themselves because even the owner is morbidlly obese. As long as she loses weight and starts being healthy this idea is find, because for someone to lose weight they also need a glow up, start afresh that kind of thing, and a salon is where you do that. I'm just really concerned about these kind of people health and well being
But the thing is, exercise and eating habits are a way better form of self care than like doing your hair or nails. Going to a salon is like a quick band-aid solution to feel good for a moment
_mango-orange_ this salon isn't just about feeling good as a 0lus size person but feeling beautiful in general. I do agree that eating healthy is important
This is not healthy. She looks like a nice friendly person .I am sure her personality is amazing but she is so unhealthy. if she keeps being this weight she won't make it to 40.
I'm sorry but don't mix up OBESITY with PLUS SIZE. these are two completely different things.. Y'all glorifying something that AIN'T healthy p. you can go ahead and spill those hate comments but I don't care. Plus size is perfect (in my opinion) but fat? nah. I don't worship heart dieases, health problem it heart attack. jus sayin
It's not healthy, but heavy people have to get their hair cut too. Weight loss is a long journey, you never know where someone is at in their own personal journey, and I'm sure it's incredibly discouraging when one is trying to lose weight and become healthy, and other people criticize and humiliate them. Weight gain can start from numerous reason, including health problems and depression, and quickly spiral out of control.
Im so hot i was born in a microwave I agree with you to a point but why can't you and others show compassion? You don't have any idea why these woman are obese or what led them to that place. You don't see what's going on behind their smiles or what secret battles they are fighting. According to the NIH 1 in 3 adults are obese! You're absolutely right, being obese isn't healthy and it seems silly to deny it. But at the same time If loosing weight was as easy as some people make it seem we wouldn't have the obesity epidemic we do. I didn't gain weight until my 40's and let me tell you it rocked my world! I'd always been able to EASILY loose a quick 10 pounds here and there when needed until I got sick and my world really did collapse. Eventually I became bedridden and am now too weak to exercise or even cook healthy meals the way I used to. I feel like my body has been hijacked and I've gained over 100lbs in just 5 years! I NEVER thought this could happen to me because I falsely believed I would always be able to control my health. I'm humiliated and ashamed to be seen in public, even if I could socialize I wouldn't. I used to take such pride in my appearance but I don't recognize myself. Looking in the mirror makes me literally dizzy because it's so surreal to see a stranger staring back. I do my best to eat as healthy as I can but I don't always have a choice and even if I lived on broccoli & water it would be nearly impossible for me to loose weight. I don't know if this is my new normal because only time will tell if I recover. But In the meantime I hope I and every other woman (for whatever reason they gained their weight---It doesn't matter!) will be shown compassion. And if you can't do that than at the very least please don't put down an entire group of people and assume you know anything at all about their life, health or body. And remember skinny girls, just because we can't SEE your issues doesn't mean you don't have them. Plenty of skinny people are unhealthy! I am in awe at the confidence these woman show and I was bawling my eyes out after the lady getting her 1st mani/pedi shared her story. They are an inspiration and I'm so thankful there is a place woman like me can go and not be judged. If you've never struggled with your weight you'd never get it, but just to be in a room where everyone looks like you would feel amazing! How could making these woman feel beautiful be anything but.....well beautiful! People need to stop assuming they know ANYTHING about someone else's life. Kindness is always a better option! *Sorry this was so long, I just feel strongly about this subject! #IIH #RA #FIBRO #Addison's #PTSD #Spoonie
Allyson James that's not my point. Maybe just MAYBE if they showed their background stories, I would've understand ( for exmaple, this lady got so obese she's almost dyin because she got molested as a child, I got really upset about it) but if all they do is sit around and victimize themselves, idk what else to say
I just can’t see how these women put that much effort into their appearance, like having their hair/nails done and dressing up, but don’t put any effort into making their body healthier.
she's beautiful, but she isn't plus-sized, her weight is unhealthy, and that causes her to be unable to stand. I've seen the comments and they are all correct, she does need to work on her eating habits. I love junk, I eat it all the time, but you have to draw the line, some people don't have fast metabolism, which causes them to gain weight quickly. but either way it's unhealthy on both ends.
Can we not just be happy for what the owner has done!?!? She's created a place to make plus-size women feel more beautiful than they already are. And besides, half of these women could be working on thier weight, you never know. It could also be a health issue or something. But, we know that she's made a salon that's for plus size women to feel great about themselves, and that's what really matters.
She can barely stand, I highly doubt she is . She made the salon because she is proud of her weight, which isn't the problem . And I never said I wasn't proud of her . I think it's great that she opened a salon for plus sized women, but that's not what matters. What matters is if she one day is alone in her home and dies from a heart attack. I'm not wishing that on her, but that can very possibly happen. Everyone can stand, and move around fine, but once you are unable to walk, and are losing break just sitting, that is very scary. I pray that she will be okay, she is very kind and amazing, and I'm not trying to shade her, I just don't want anything bad to happen to her. and everyone else seems to have the same thought.
Well you have to remember depends where the fat goes there can be someone with perfect curves yet they weight 500lb, so don't be to hasty on judging others
@@missspider4509 curvy isnt synonymous with plus size. And at 500 pounds it doesnt matter where the fat sits it's still extremely unhealthy to be at that weight
Mrs. G it’s not being “hasty on judging others,” it really is detrimental for those who are plus sized, but not severally overweight. It makes room for ignorance, when people hear “plus sized” they are going to think everyone who fits that category is obese/unhealthy.
How to be body positive: respect everyone regardless of how they look. (Scars, disabilities, body size, etc) BUT There's nothing more positive than taking care of yourself. Bodies come in all sizes but you cannot deny that at a certain point excessive weight will negatively impact your health.
yes dont shame others for there body, but there is valid criticism when said fat people are glorifying an unhealthy wgiht practically killing themselves, being fat isnt a good thing that dosnt mean fat people are bad but they shouldnt be actively trying to gain wieght.
Unfortunately, many bigger women start thinking “what’s the point?” when it comes to their clothes, their hair, their makeup. It’s really a problem because loving yourself is a big part of weight loss (I speak from experience.) I know some will look at the salon as glorifying obesity, but I see it completely differently. This truly could be a great weight loss aid.
Amen Im not going to a accommodate my weight as sexy...It's unhealthy and nothing is sexy about that. .I'm plus size and I'm working on getting healthier..I love myself but not to death...Self confidence is beautiful but knowledge of being healthy is more beautiful. .Good thing that she's doing and they are beautiful but God didn't create us to lack self-control even food is done in moderation... This is Gods temple... What we do to our bodies we do to God.
As an overweight female... I can say proudly that I am comfortable with my body and that I don't wish to change myself... the reason why many plus size women feel that way because there is someone or society telling them they need to lose weight so when you stop doing that and accept them it helps so much... with that being said the is no reason that you can't lose weight or shouldn't I just think you have to be comfortable with yourself you know
I certainly agree with you about loving yourself and I wouldn't wish for anyone to be uncomfortable in their own skin. I also agree that societal beauty standards can rip at at a person's self esteem (I'm actually a psych major, so I've studied it.) I think I look at this issue differently than most because I have extreme circumstances concerning my own body. I'm sick. I have an incurable autoimmune disease that has completely upturned my life. It's genetic and I developed it when I was 8. The biggest issue is that is causes severe chronic pain. Due to my condition, I'm very in tune with my body. I noticed that if I gained weight my pain tended to go up and I noticed if I lost weight my pain tended to go down. Because I got sick, I HAD to pay attention to things like my weight and nutrition. Everything is your choice. I'm happy if you're happy, but please don't short-change yourself either. It sounds silly, but I miss being able to run. I miss being able to feel that pain in my chest and brushing of the wind on my face. As someone who is unable to enjoy many of the pleasures of life, I hope that you do what I can't. The truth is that being overweight is unhealthy. Right now it sounds like you're doing really well health-wise (and I hope it stays that way!) but take it from someone whose body fails her on a daily basis: once your health turns on you, it really changes the game. Best of luck.
It's really unfortunate that you can't do everything you want to do but I personally believe that every challenging situation will help you be a more well rounded person and that's never a bad thing so I hope you continue on your journey with a positive out look
I love that she created a salon for plus size women, but holy moly she should have tried to lose weight after the chair incident and the fact she has to sit on two chairs!!!!!! I'm 220 and I'm experiencing the effects of being overweight. I wonder how she feels.
Francis Rivas Yeah, like if she could lose just a little weight she would feel so much better. I’m working on getting to a hot topic large (preferably medium) and I already feel so much better
*RIP Jamie Lopez!* 💘 *This isn't a fun update, but I feel like it needs to be known to viewers here. The owner Jamie Lopez passed away in 2022 at the age of 37 due to a heart attack as a result of her morbid obesity.*
There's a difference between being plus size and happy with your looks and being morbidly obese and slowly killing yourself. This woman clearly has good intentions, but feeding these women cupcakes and sugary drinks and telling them that they're fine the way they are isn't going to help them, it just enables them to carry on making bad life choices.
Let them do what they want. They don't need someone else belittling them if that's the way that they want to live life who are we to say live it any differently.
Sure, let’s just not let them be served sugary things because of their size, right? It’s their body, and you don’t get to dictate what other people eat. If they want sugar, let them have it. It’s their life and their body.
She has a disability van? (idk whats it called), its empty inside and she gets rolled in a wheelchair inside and travels. But hey, anything to feel confident.
I feel like there's a great idea behind this business, but I feel like as much as it uplifts these plus size women, people need to know the difference between a bbw and 'Morbidly Obese'.
It's really sad how they try to push this obesity Lifestyle on us like we're supposed to accept it you know I've had family members who have had nothing but heart attacks diabetes and problems because their weight some of them passed away I don't think it's right that they promote this unhealthy living
Just wanted to say that judging or embarrassing someone is never a way of helping them, it's simply not supportive and makes you feel even more isolated from the society. Treating people with dignity despite their limitations is way more encouraging fot them to change.
Olivia Francis she is not saying it's the salons fault, she is just saying she felt ashamed and uncomfortable and she just wanted a place that she would feel comfortable at
Olivia Francis she never said that she was just really embarrassed so she decided to make her own salon where she can be treated like a normal person and won't break furniture
"I was humiliated in a salon" She makes it sound like someone did something to her when in fact she was SO fat that she broke a hydraulic salon chair. You shouldn't be fat enough to break a stainless steel chair. That's not being discriminated against. That is not unfair & to be quite frank, it is a sad reality I am seeing in America. I am happy they have somewhere they can go to feel good but don't point fingers at other salons being 'Toxic' and 'Close minded' facilities when you couldn't fit through a standard doorway or they turn you away because the sheer weight of your body will destroy their property.
Andria B when did they bash other salons? ...She simply created a business for bigger woman so they can feel accepted. No one in this video was like "Yea but those other salons are bad!!". No one was attacking the other businesses.
Hoseok's visuals bro she said it was unfair the second you hear that word it is almost a guarantee the reason for something being unfair is never actually unfair rather than just feeling pity for yourself. I'm not hating or anything but she did basically say the salon was being unfair to plus sized women. No they aren't. Just because their chairs aren't equipped to hold 600 pounds, doesn't mean they are being unfair. -___-
I understand being a big size but the owner can’t even walk, this is just unhealthy. I love this idea and how wonderfully accepting the stylists are, though!
maria beronica garcia ummmmm yeah it DOES kinda matter if she’s not able to take care of herself BECAUSE she is obese! Kind of affects everyone else too in some way or another. Open ya damn eyes!
She breaks the chair at a salon.... Instead of going "Wow... Maybe I should lose weight..." She just opens a salon that caters to morbidly obese women... I guess people will do anything but lose weight.... >.< Flawless logic.
TaeTaej she 500 pounds and she’s mad that a chair broke that was probably only meant to hold someone who is up to 350 pounds. it’s ridiculous to blame a chair when you’re at least 200 pounds overweight
And now she’s dead congratulations. People like you are the reason she isn’t here anymore. Great job y’all literally off’d her just not to hurt her feelings. This is why your feelings don’t matter.
Shawna Wade, I WISH you get "obese" because you won't understand till you are. Do you know how HARD it is to look in the mirror every morning for these women? They wake up, and the first thing they see is their fat, and how they wish it wasn't there. The more they think about that, the more they eat to cope. Plus, its not like they go there every single day for the "treats" they go there to look beautiful, to see themselves in a way that they rarely can. Plus size is a nicer way of saying obese, because we don't want them to feel worse for themselves. That rarely ever helps anything. Normal sized people have somewhere to go to make them look nice, why can't obese people?
0:35 she's so "beautiful" that she can't even stand morbid obesity isn't about aesthetics, it's a fatal disease. Simply covering up your fat with makeup doesn't change the fact that it's slowly killing you 2:05 ....aaaand there it is
you dont know she may change i mean what she is doing is not bad at all im talking about hwhat she created you dont get discriminated at all thats so good and nice from her. but she can also start to change her life and she probably can with professional help.
It sucks that such a nice woman like her is going to die within 10 years. Not even joking, she seems like a really nice and caring person, but if she keeps her unhealthy lifestyle up, she won’t live for more than another 10 years.
Sabrina Scott Sabrina Scott yeah, but I don’t need to be a heart doctor to know that being obese HIGHLY increases you chance of death/disease. Heart problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, pancreatic cancer just to name a few, are problems that come with obesity. I *could* randomly die as an average weight person, but I’m not at the same risk as an obese person.
.... why are we mixing obese with plus size. These too are very different. There is Nothing beautiful about someone who does not take care of their body. And this works for both sides of the spectrum.
They might not let you in... Apparently it's ok to make a plus size friendly salon and kick out skinny people and not ok to make a skinny friendly salon and kick fat people out. But I don't know if you're allowed in or not, I don't work there.
Coming from a 110 lb woman, I am glad she has opened up a place to make larger women feel beautiful because she's absolutely right, every woman deserves to feel beautiful. No, being 500 lbs is not healthy, however, until you can get your life back on track you still deserve to have a chance and not to feel humiliated. They are human beings with ability to make their own decisions, if that's how they want to live their life than that's their choice, they shouldn't be ridiculed for it.
Ascaithe Exactly why does everyone feel the world "owes" them something and they deserve to feel accepted, tbh emotions are overrated in this day and age. We should stop trying to please people and give rock hard facts wether they like it or not
So instead of using what was clearly an embarrassing event to re-evaluate her life and change it for the better by eating healthy and exercising, this women decided to open a salon with reinforced chairs and have cupcakes available for her customers to eat.This just shows everything that is wrong with the world today, it's always someone else's fault no one takes personal responsibility for themselves.
She never said it was anyone else's fault. :) She claimed responsibility and she owns that she is a large woman. The American way is to do what you want to do. Don't like it don't participate. :)
I agree. Being concern nowadays meant to be rude and “if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t talk,” being real now is being the crappy mean one. Like bruh, don’t miss the logic here. But oh well it’s not like they will listen to us haha they will do what they want to do. Let them be. We/They will never escape the crippling reality no matter what.
0:36-0:37 When it’s too much exercise to stand up for a few seconds to a minute at the very longest, hold a pair of sheers that weigh no more than a pair of hedge clippers, and cut a ribbon for your grand opening...you’re in trouble!
This is what people do in denial. They form groups and isolate themselves from everyone unlike them (i.e. healthy), so that they can "empower" eachother; Empower eachother to carry on their self-harm. Instead, they need to go out into the world and stop hiding; It would be positive inspiration rather than the negative inspiration they're settling for. P.S. Even if she were a size 2 and had fallen out of a broken chair, everyone still would have looked... You fell out of a chair. I like her hair though.
Miranda Staton All groups do that of isolating and feel superior to others/or to think they are right and put others down. It's human being way of living.
Being obviously addicted to heroin can be embarrassing. That's why I opened up a market where blatant drug addicts can be self-empowered and proud. We have complementary needles, spoons, lighters, and rubber hoses. We dysfunctional drug addicts need to hold our heads high. I feel like I'm really making a positive difference in people's lives.
rodaloy nah you can’t even compare that to this though. I understand food is just addicting but everyone eats! How is me eating 5 cookies bad? And someone sticking a needle in their arm equivalent? Like I’m just eating that’s what I’m suppose to do in life to survive but I happen to just gain weight but no body tells someone to stick a needle in their arm that’s just dumb af
Funny thing is that there are actually places outside of the us that provide medical grade heroin, clean needles, and free counseling. They saw a 90% reduction in heroin usage and people were able to live stable, productive lives and get off heroin.
There's nothing wrong with feeling comfortable with your body but if you truly loved it, you would take care of it. Being so overweight that you can't even stand up isn't loving your body.
I was incredibly touched by this video and I and truly happy that there are such people as Jamie who have the courage to open up places for women of a bigger size. I'm also very glad that right now she started her journey towards a healthier lifestyle and I hope her clients will feel inspired enough to do the same. Good luck to you, Jamie and be happy!
Why would you say that about someone that is fat can barely stand up I feel bad for her too but does it mean that you need to go talk about these people when they're trying to help other fat people get together and feel better about their self
Jesus Chuchi no it isn't you dont have any carpenting videos get the Jesus out of your name because all your videos are perverted videos with women in bras and panties and if you didn't want me to say this keep your listed videos private or you know keep your whole channel private. This is not what TH-cam is about. You're Disgusting.
Bonequeque Gonzalez No one seems to understand this. The owner is morbidly obese. And doesn't seem to move about much. This cannot be good for anyone. While it's a good idea if you understand the point of view, it can also be very "enabling".
Having a salon where heavy women can go is great. I get anxiety walking into a regular salon and I'm a size 12. I think that it would be nice if they had fruit drinks and veggie snacks etc just to show you can be beautiful inside and out even if you're not a size 0 but they need to promote a healthy lifestyle too
Dawn Sullivan im autistic but its a very light effect.. When I move to america i did not know what plus size was. Me and my mom accidentally walk into a plus size shop and i start having a heart attack once the worker is like "Im sorry dear i dont think they have you're size here however there is a place across the street". I literally was frozen from the fear.
I totally agree that people need to realise this is not healthy at all, without being humiliated. But snacks in a salon? Really? It's not a restaurant.
I really love her personality and all the things had put in to make her and other people feel welcome, but the owner is only 31 she should worry about her size. I mean like she might die young
@@okshesbroken7837 i would have think, stronger chair cost more (like beds). Besides, maybe they dont usually gets very heavy customer. Size like this are very very uncommon in my country. Actually I' ve never seen the size like the owner here.
I get the chair thing. Like, yeah big people need haircuts too. However, serving junk food at a hair salon? That's really pushing it. It's also sad to see such beautiful, kind hearted, talented young ladies like this and knowing that they wont live much longer if they continue to live the lifestyle they are living. I really hope that one day they will decide to make a step and change their selves for the better because they really are good people and they deserve to live a happy healthy life rather than ignoring facts and lying to themselves.
Make a salon for morbidly obese people, feed them sugary juice or alcohol & high calorie treats while you service them. That's the type of "help" only another morbidly obese person in complete denial whose eating to keep from facing whatever is actually wrong would offer. I understand the "everyone should be accepted" concept & I agree with it but she's nothing more than an enabler. If I was obese and I walked into this salon it wouldn't comfort me. If anything, it would make me realize how much of an addiction food is for alot of ppl & that I need help.I'd run out of there & go straight to get help with my health and nutrition. Going in there seeing her not even being able to stand and walk should be enough to make anybody put the cupcake down and leave...
It's important that everyone has somewhere they can go and feel safe to get the 'normal ' things done ie nails hair etc. No, obesity isn't particularly healthy but still, these ladies exist and they too have the right not to feel threatened or embarrassed or humiliated
Sheso Madeline well you know, it's them not us. Just keep thinking live and let live. I know if it was me I'd be making some effort to address my obesity. However it's not me, it's them so let it be. There are worse people on the planet. I've no issue with these ladies. Peace sister🌻
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for body positivity but if it gets to the point where your weight of affecting your physical health you need to do something about it.
@@carlbien5989 slow due to the lockdown I was actually binge eating... dont get me wrong I am not this huge my BMI basically says I'm overweight I just find it in myself that I can no longer be overweight I just needed a change and I dont want to end up like this
I’m a world where we promote “all bodies are beautiful” people need to realize that this is simply not true. This woman has many health risks that will come with being 500 lbs and is putting her life in danger. If there were 60 pound woman who starved themselves to maintain that way would you call that beautiful?
And obviously that's EXACTLY WHY she made a salon for bigger women? To accommodate them because they should be able to feel beautiful and go to a salon that WORKS for THEM
Yes, they should be able to feel beautiful and go to a salon that works for them. However, unfortunately they won't live long enough to enjoy it. The owner Jamie Lopez is worse off then her clients, a candidate for My 600lbs Life. If I were to open a beauty salon, I can make only so many accommodations before saying that its going over my budget to get custom made seats which I have to pay extra for, instead of getting the affordable standard seats. First its the custom made reinforced beauty salon chairs, then its the custom made reinforced hospital beds, and sadly but lastly its the custom made reinforced coffin.
All the women in the salon are just plus sized but Jamie is morbidly obese. Obesity is not something your born with, it doesn’t make you special, it’s a burden to your health. Instead of glorifying obesity these women should focus on losing weight. They’re all beautiful but obesity is serious and it kills a lot of people every year, while there are salons like this that makes it alright to be morbidly obese when it’s really not. Just my opinion🤷♀️
Juliette Phillips I completely get where you’re coming from but she said it was a salon for “all women, all races , all sizes “ and she wanted to make all women to feel beautiful not just plus size women.
@@simple_plan_fan_9847 yes some people are born with medical conditions such as PCOS which can cause symptoms of weight gain but never usually to an extreme of causing obesity.
I cried when the owner did, cos I understand her joy making women feel better about themselves. I´ve been a hairstylist for 15 years and totally share her passion for the job beyond just the money
This is a great idea ..but my self when I was weight 262 it was so hard to losse weight ..I did surgey and now I weight 172 pounds . It is struggle but I feel great.. I change my lifestyle.. I can walk better and have more self confidence now then before..hope she do something with her weight ..best of luck to her
Congrats! I haven’t had such a significant weight loss as you but I’ve lost 10 ish pounds out of the 30 I gained from being a freshman in college and it really is a huge lifestyle change. Best of luck to you and your journey 💕
I love it. The owner is so beautiful and has such a big heart. There are so many of us that are not size 0's. Those women now have a place to go that they can feel like ladies and add to their beauty. You ladies really have it going on. Plus-sized is a lot of women in my family. I would like for the owner to get her health checked out because she needs to be around to inspire the rest of us who do not feel like we are beautiful because of our weight.
That’s because it’s impossible to be beautiful at 500 pounds. Period. Someone should have shown her tough love and told her the truth. She was dying. Maybe she would still be here. People mostly females jus afraid to hurt someone’s feelings are half the problem. Y’all would LITERALLY let someone off themselves over hurting their feelings. Shameful.
Thats customised..equivalent of 4 seaters😂😂😂......did u see her stand??all her videos shes just sitting..and this girls still think its fine to be massive when theyre seing the result in front of them when they continue their bad eating habit and laziness to move...
Nice idea!As much as I like it though, I also wish they are looking forward to getting healthier instead of just feeling better with themselves on the inside.
Snaziko losing weight from a high weight isn’t easy. You can’t just say “I’m gonna lose weight” it’s hard. Most women have trouble doing what it takes to be skinnier
You can’t get healthy without feeling better on the inside. You should want to equally want to feel better on the inside and be healthy. One should not be more important then the other. I feel your healthiest when you love yourself inside and out
that would be ideal for literally everyone, but a lot of people can’t get healthy. Some have chronic illnesses and things and it’s really really hard for them to not only lose weight but be healthy in general. it’s really not anyone’s place to comment on someone else’s health without knowing their story.
The gal: "I broke a chair in that one other salon so i created one of my own with chairs that can hold ppl like me." Also the gal: spends the entire video sitting in TWO joined chairs' cause one is not enough This is why i have trust issues
I went to a nail salon The lady doing my nails was extremely ignorant Talking about my weight and how much weight I gained And how I was beautiful a month ago I was completely shocked and embarrassed The salon didn't last very long
Topaz Rose man I don’t even know cause I’ve never been big and never made a chair break I’m just saying u making it seem like all those things being talked about a lot is abnormal but in America that’s our mentality and how we lived America has literally being built on judging others and always pulling certain people down for no reason
I'm really worried about the owner. She is sitting when everyone around her is standing. It makes me think she lost a lot of mobility because of her weight...
This is a sweet idea and everyone deserves to feel beautiful and worthy, but I really hope she looks after her health... She doesn't deserve to die young because of it. Nobody does...
I love your comment
Your comment is very touching. I can feel the sincerity in your comment 😊
I was thinking the same thing! The poor lady needs to get some help, her salon is fab and she needs to be around to watch it grow!
This very sweet! But also very true at the same time. Thank you for posting this. 💛🌻
Are you sure?
The concept of this salon is awesome, but it's sad to see such a brilliant lady not being able to stand at just 31 😔
Totally agree with you
Than the concept isn’t good
Well...... Who's fault is it she can't stand? Stop ignoring the reason she can't stand. She can't stop eating! The whole culture that people aren't responsible for their own actions is sickening. Weakest generation in the history of the United States. Every one gets a trophy so no one loses. Well this chick lost the lottery by her own actions. No sympathy from me.
@@FranchiseSIX5 bro are u like those 50 yr old who preach that this generation is bad and being ignorant?
@@tanimiah7127 I'm not a 50yo but ya, your generation is the softest that's ever been.

The truth being I've seen the changes in generations. If this generation was in WWII we'd all be speaking German

She's got to be at least 600lbs she's 31? She won't make it to 41. I hope she makes changes in her life because she obviously is a very nice person.
She probably is more then 500 lbs but the scale wasn't calibrated right when she got on it
She probably weights more like a ton so they just gave us a round about number not the real one
yes mam
If that im sure she is over 650..... All that money i would be investing in a weight loss surgery
she’s in the 500s, it says in the title
I'm here for the concept, it's refreshing to see all these women happy and all dolled up.
However, I think there's a very fine line between accepting and loving yourself and straight up being in denial. You're hurting yourself I mean you can't even move from your chair for crying out loud!!! Your weight is alarming at this point
Finally, a person who is nice about telling the truth.
Lauren A. It's better if she ain't nice about the truth
no, better insults from a friend, than kisses from an enemy.
But what's she in denial about exactly? She knows shes a big woman and she wants to feel beautiful and comfortable in her own skin and she obviously wants to make other women like her, feel that way too. These women obviously know they're big, but they're still people and they're still beautiful. I feel like fat women can't say or do anything because people always have to remind then that they're fat and 'unhealthy' and honestly it's stupid. I'm glad that these women have a place like this to love each other and be beautiful.
Read my comment again because YOU OBVIOUSLY didn't get the point and you're twisting my words into something they're not. I talked specifically about the owner of the salon, NOT ALL WOMEN WHO GO TO THAT SALON because in case you didn't see it, her weight is sort of a disability to her. Who said she's not beautiful? How do you make a positive comment into something negative? I genuinely felt bad for her it wasn't hate nor fatshaming and the idea is AMAZING I wish more people would do that in the future. Have a good day!
As a personal trainer that's worked with special populations for 20 years, I've seen the devastation that comes from years of being obese. I actually love that these women have a place to go to feel beautiful and pampered because every woman deserves that. However, if they continue to live this way the consequences will be devastating and the damage done irreversible.
Yeah weight loss doesn’t happen overnight and I could see having a place like this can keep you upbeat and on track. Instead of rewarding yourself with ice cream get your nails done. They should have healthier treats though like chocolate avocado pudding sweetened with stevia instead of regular cupcakes

the owner lady cannot even stand up. She is very beautiful though. Now i am not dogging her, i am very very overweight too, and i am getting to the point of not being able to stand for long periods of time either. I get the whole big and beautiful thing, but when you get tot he point of not being able to stand to even like shower, something has to be done. I will not turn 50 and be in a wheel chair. I cannot. I do love this concept, but they should also think about maybe serving healthier foods and not cupcakes, or low carb/sugar cupcakes. I dont know. I am not a hater, although i hate how large i am. So a am a hater to myself i suppose.
Lindsey Morgan Don't hate yourself, think positively and start by making small changes. I'm sure weight loss is daunting but you are more than capable of succeeding, you just need a game plan!

True...and that fat acceptance is a wrong thing coz its encouraging big people not to lose weight and live healthier and longer...i know how hard it is to lose weight coz im also on my own journey...i was 260lbs and starting to have illnesses and i was so scared to die young..i tried my hardest to eat the right and healthy foods and do different kinds of exercise and it paid off coz im now 175lbs and sticking to my diet and regular workout.

Now i feel better. Because i don't want people take of me wheb i'm sick, they have their own life i don't want them waste their time for me, and i don't want to waste my time on bed or in hospital, so many things wait for me to do...

There is no problem in accepting yourself but the problem is when you have a serious issue and instead of fixing it, your promoting for it and feeling proud, sigh, how the world is thinking
This is what the regressive left does. Instead of removing stigmas from society they add new ones and put the blame on others for their own problems.

As a person who has battle with weight, I get and understand the concept of the salon. It's a great feeling and should be a natural feeling to be accepted anywhere you go. Especially when it comes to a place where you want to feel and look beautiful. Unfortunately that's not always the situation, so I get it and love this salon just for that reason in itself. I just hope and pray that it is also in these beautiful women interests to want to be healthy. I'm not saying lose a lot of weight but at the same time if your weight is taking away from normal everyday abilities, it's time time to rethink some things. Because now it's about life or death. And as someone who has battled with it, it not a great life to live with being over weight. And I'm just speaking from the physical aspect. Tiredness, in pain from standing at work. I'm glad I lose the weight.
I am all for loving yourself no matter what size you are. However, if that size inhibits your ability to function and go about everyday tasks it's a problem. The salon owner appears as if she is unable to walk. She did not get out of that chair once. That's sad.
Don't be so nice they are obese wemon that won't make it to 30

I don't worship heart dieases, health problem it heart attack. jus sayin
and heart attack*
It's not healthy, but heavy people have to get their hair cut too. Weight loss is a long journey, you never know where someone is at in their own personal journey, and I'm sure it's incredibly discouraging when one is trying to lose weight and become healthy, and other people criticize and humiliate them. Weight gain can start from numerous reason, including health problems and depression, and quickly spiral out of control.
Nicole Cummins okeh
Im so hot i was born in a microwave I agree with you to a point but why can't you and others show compassion? You don't have any idea why these woman are obese or what led them to that place. You don't see what's going on behind their smiles or what secret battles they are fighting. According to the NIH 1 in 3 adults are obese! You're absolutely right, being obese isn't healthy and it seems silly to deny it. But at the same time If loosing weight was as easy as some people make it seem we wouldn't have the obesity epidemic we do. I didn't gain weight until my 40's and let me tell you it rocked my world! I'd always been able to EASILY loose a quick 10 pounds here and there when needed until I got sick and my world really did collapse. Eventually I became bedridden and am now too weak to exercise or even cook healthy meals the way I used to. I feel like my body has been hijacked and I've gained over 100lbs in just 5 years! I NEVER thought this could happen to me because I falsely believed I would always be able to control my health. I'm humiliated and ashamed to be seen in public, even if I could socialize I wouldn't. I used to take such pride in my appearance but I don't recognize myself. Looking in the mirror makes me literally dizzy because it's so surreal to see a stranger staring back. I do my best to eat as healthy as I can but I don't always have a choice and even if I lived on broccoli & water it would be nearly impossible for me to loose weight. I don't know if this is my new normal because only time will tell if I recover. But In the meantime I hope I and every other woman (for whatever reason they gained their weight---It doesn't matter!) will be shown compassion. And if you can't do that than at the very least please don't put down an entire group of people and assume you know anything at all about their life, health or body. And remember skinny girls, just because we can't SEE your issues doesn't mean you don't have them. Plenty of skinny people are unhealthy! I am in awe at the confidence these woman show and I was bawling my eyes out after the lady getting her 1st mani/pedi shared her story. They are an inspiration and I'm so thankful there is a place woman like me can go and not be judged. If you've never struggled with your weight you'd never get it, but just to be in a room where everyone looks like you would feel amazing! How could making these woman feel beautiful be anything but.....well beautiful! People need to stop assuming they know ANYTHING about someone else's life. Kindness is always a better option!

I just can’t see how these women put that much effort into their appearance, like having their hair/nails done and dressing up, but don’t put any effort into making their body healthier.
Food can be an addiction
Ikr
Not all, but some people cannot lose the weight and gain it easily. Especially those with thyroid conditions(which is very common btw).
@@ggomo572 you mean healthy beauty standards which existed since the beginning of time
Exactly right,,
she's beautiful, but she isn't plus-sized, her weight is unhealthy, and that causes her to be unable to stand. I've seen the comments and they are all correct, she does need to work on her eating habits. I love junk, I eat it all the time, but you have to draw the line, some people don't have fast metabolism, which causes them to gain weight quickly. but either way it's unhealthy on both ends.
asahd you can be plus sized & unhealthy.
yeah, i just hope she gets healthier .
Can we not just be happy for what the owner has done!?!? She's created a place to make plus-size women feel more beautiful than they already are. And besides, half of these women could be working on thier weight, you never know. It could also be a health issue or something. But, we know that she's made a salon that's for plus size women to feel great about themselves, and that's what really matters.
She can barely stand, I highly doubt she is . She made the salon because she is proud of her weight, which isn't the problem . And I never said I wasn't proud of her . I think it's great that she opened a salon for plus sized women, but that's not what matters. What matters is if she one day is alone in her home and dies from a heart attack. I'm not wishing that on her, but that can very possibly happen. Everyone can stand, and move around fine, but once you are unable to walk, and are losing break just sitting, that is very scary. I pray that she will be okay, she is very kind and amazing, and I'm not trying to shade her, I just don't want anything bad to happen to her. and everyone else seems to have the same thought.
she needs to definately lose weight , im not sayimg become skinny like atleast lose weight till ur healthy!
Would they judge if a skinny women came in?
Just asking..
no actually they dont. it is very welcoming
@Lewis C. no
Probably
probably
Yes probably they will :D
I think if you’re near 500 pounds calling yourself plus size is detrimental
DPMO AMEN !
Well you have to remember depends where the fat goes there can be someone with perfect curves yet they weight 500lb, so don't be to hasty on judging others
@@missspider4509 curvy isnt synonymous with plus size. And at 500 pounds it doesnt matter where the fat sits it's still extremely unhealthy to be at that weight
Mrs. G it’s not being “hasty on judging others,” it really is detrimental for those who are plus sized, but not severally overweight. It makes room for ignorance, when people hear “plus sized” they are going to think everyone who fits that category is obese/unhealthy.
IKR 😂 like who do you consider to be fat?
How to be body positive: respect everyone regardless of how they look. (Scars, disabilities, body size, etc)
BUT
There's nothing more positive than taking care of yourself. Bodies come in all sizes but you cannot deny that at a certain point excessive weight will negatively impact your health.
yes dont shame others for there body, but there is valid criticism when said fat people are glorifying an unhealthy wgiht practically killing themselves, being fat isnt a good thing that dosnt mean fat people are bad but they shouldnt be actively trying to gain wieght.
@@Yoobster maybe if the owner had been shamed she would be alive rn
No one who’s fat “actively tries to gain weight”. That’s ridiculous.
Unfortunately, many bigger women start thinking “what’s the point?” when it comes to their clothes, their hair, their makeup. It’s really a problem because loving yourself is a big part of weight loss (I speak from experience.)
I know some will look at the salon as glorifying obesity, but I see it completely differently. This truly could be a great weight loss aid.
Amen Im not going to a accommodate my weight as sexy...It's unhealthy and nothing is sexy about that. .I'm plus size and I'm working on getting healthier..I love myself but not to death...Self confidence is beautiful but knowledge of being healthy is more beautiful. .Good thing that she's doing and they are beautiful but God didn't create us to lack self-control even food is done in moderation... This is Gods temple... What we do to our bodies we do to God.
That's a beautiful way to look at it. :)
As an overweight female... I can say proudly that I am comfortable with my body and that I don't wish to change myself... the reason why many plus size women feel that way because there is someone or society telling them they need to lose weight so when you stop doing that and accept them it helps so much... with that being said the is no reason that you can't lose weight or shouldn't I just think you have to be comfortable with yourself you know
I certainly agree with you about loving yourself and I wouldn't wish for anyone to be uncomfortable in their own skin. I also agree that societal beauty standards can rip at at a person's self esteem (I'm actually a psych major, so I've studied it.)
I think I look at this issue differently than most because I have extreme circumstances concerning my own body. I'm sick. I have an incurable autoimmune disease that has completely upturned my life. It's genetic and I developed it when I was 8. The biggest issue is that is causes severe chronic pain. Due to my condition, I'm very in tune with my body. I noticed that if I gained weight my pain tended to go up and I noticed if I lost weight my pain tended to go down. Because I got sick, I HAD to pay attention to things like my weight and nutrition. Everything is your choice. I'm happy if you're happy, but please don't short-change yourself either. It sounds silly, but I miss being able to run. I miss being able to feel that pain in my chest and brushing of the wind on my face. As someone who is unable to enjoy many of the pleasures of life, I hope that you do what I can't.
The truth is that being overweight is unhealthy. Right now it sounds like you're doing really well health-wise (and I hope it stays that way!) but take it from someone whose body fails her on a daily basis: once your health turns on you, it really changes the game.
Best of luck.
It's really unfortunate that you can't do everything you want to do but I personally believe that every challenging situation will help you be a more well rounded person and that's never a bad thing so I hope you continue on your journey with a positive out look
She didn’t stand once during this whole video
She couldn't even stand to cut the grand opening ribbon at her own salon...just, ugh...
I don’t think she can walk 😢 she’s probably in a wheelchair
She may not be able at 500 pounds
She is way too big..this is not plus
She can't lol
I love that she created a salon for plus size women, but holy moly she should have tried to lose weight after the chair incident and the fact she has to sit on two chairs!!!!!! I'm 220 and I'm experiencing the effects of being overweight. I wonder how she feels.
I'm 180 and I feel the effects of being overweight as well.
Francis Rivas Yeah, like if she could lose just a little weight she would feel so much better. I’m working on getting to a hot topic large (preferably medium) and I already feel so much better

*RIP Jamie Lopez!* 💘
*This isn't a fun update, but I feel like it needs to be known to viewers here. The owner Jamie Lopez passed away in 2022 at the age of 37 due to a heart attack as a result of her morbid obesity.*
So sad. I was thinking going to Vagas and meeting her.rest in pice Jamie 😞❤💐
I heard its so sad 💐💐💐
There's a difference between being plus size and happy with your looks and being morbidly obese and slowly killing yourself. This woman clearly has good intentions, but feeding these women cupcakes and sugary drinks and telling them that they're fine the way they are isn't going to help them, it just enables them to carry on making bad life choices.
Let them do what they want. They don't need someone else belittling them if that's the way that they want to live life who are we to say live it any differently.
@@leelarowe6164 agree
Leela Rowe until it farts to affect them!
Leela Rowe yeah I agree, let natural selection come into play.
Sure, let’s just not let them be served sugary things because of their size, right? It’s their body, and you don’t get to dictate what other people eat. If they want sugar, let them have it. It’s their life and their body.
Does the owner.. you know.. stand up or walk?
Kinda makes you wonder how she gets to work and back home or if she lives at the salon.
They roll her to work everyday so no standing or walking is necessary
She's probably unable to stand or walk for more than to get from one chair to another. She might need a cane or walker. But this is "glamorous."
Not sure if I should laugh or cry at this...it's so ridiculous and at the same time so...sad o.O
She has a disability van? (idk whats it called), its empty inside and she gets rolled in a wheelchair inside and travels. But hey, anything to feel confident.
I feel like there's a great idea behind this business, but I feel like as much as it uplifts these plus size women, people need to know the difference between a bbw and 'Morbidly Obese'.
My Name Is Jeff there is no difference
My Name Is Jeff You're a monster!

It's really sad how they try to push this obesity Lifestyle on us like we're supposed to accept it you know I've had family members who have had nothing but heart attacks diabetes and problems because their weight some of them passed away I don't think it's right that they promote this unhealthy living
Domanique Huckaby how so?
Just wanted to say that judging or embarrassing someone is never a way of helping them, it's simply not supportive and makes you feel even more isolated from the society. Treating people with dignity despite their limitations is way more encouraging fot them to change.

"I was humiliated in a salon"
She makes it sound like someone did something to her when in fact she was SO fat that she broke a hydraulic salon chair.
You shouldn't be fat enough to break a stainless steel chair. That's not being discriminated against. That is not unfair & to be quite frank, it is a sad reality I am seeing in America. I am happy they have somewhere they can go to feel good but don't point fingers at other salons being 'Toxic' and 'Close minded' facilities when you couldn't fit through a standard doorway or they turn you away because the sheer weight of your body will destroy their property.
Andria B when did they bash other salons? ...She simply created a business for bigger woman so they can feel accepted. No one in this video was like "Yea but those other salons are bad!!". No one was attacking the other businesses.
Hoseok's visuals:. I watched the entire thing. They went on to bash other salaons for not being plus sized friendly which is just awful
Andria B I watched the entire thing as well...I think you are mistaking them talking about how accepting their salon is for bashing others.
Hoseok's visuals bro she said it was unfair the second you hear that word it is almost a guarantee the reason for something being unfair is never actually unfair rather than just feeling pity for yourself.
I'm not hating or anything but she did basically say the salon was being unfair to plus sized women. No they aren't. Just because their chairs aren't equipped to hold 600 pounds, doesn't mean they are being unfair. -___-
Andria B so true
“Plus size friendly”
*the owner has to sit in two chairs just to sit down*

No, she didn't blame the salon. She just felt embarrassed that she had broken the chair.

Kay no... you’re not “plus sized” you’re obese. Not to be rude, loving yourself is important but that includes your health.
shaming who? the humpback whales or jabba the hut?
I mean, look at that behemoth over there
The owner serves "cup cakes and mimosas" to her plus sized customers, this is not healthy at all, she encourages weight gain at her salon.
Ur right but what they dont get is thats IMPOSSIBLE for them to feel good because their body tells them that theres sth seriously wrong
Shawna Wade, I WISH you get "obese" because you won't understand till you are. Do you know how HARD it is to look in the mirror every morning for these women? They wake up, and the first thing they see is their fat, and how they wish it wasn't there. The more they think about that, the more they eat to cope. Plus, its not like they go there every single day for the "treats" they go there to look beautiful, to see themselves in a way that they rarely can. Plus size is a nicer way of saying obese, because we don't want them to feel worse for themselves. That rarely ever helps anything. Normal sized people have somewhere to go to make them look nice, why can't obese people?
0:35 she's so "beautiful" that she can't even stand
morbid obesity isn't about aesthetics, it's a fatal disease. Simply covering up your fat with makeup doesn't change the fact that it's slowly killing you
2:05 ....aaaand there it is
She seems nice. But in denial. Also i don’t think she’s gonna make it past 45.
Claire Redd her heart is cooked by now!
I don't think she'll make it to 32 years old so she should enjoy life now

She'll be lucky if she makes it to 45 at all!
you dont know she may change i mean what she is doing is not bad at all im talking about hwhat she created you dont get discriminated at all thats so good and nice from her. but she can also start to change her life and she probably can with professional help.
It sucks that such a nice woman like her is going to die within 10 years. Not even joking, she seems like a really nice and caring person, but if she keeps her unhealthy lifestyle up, she won’t live for more than another 10 years.
Isaiah Jimenez how the do you know that ? you could drop dead before them lol
Sabrina Scott I guess I could, but when you are morbidly obese, your chances of some sort of random heart failure multiplied by at least hundreds.
Isaiah Jimenez yes thats correct too.. its amazin how much pressure weight body can take .....
Isaiah Jimenez. ...many healthy people drop dead ..
Sabrina Scott Sabrina Scott yeah, but I don’t need to be a heart doctor to know that being obese HIGHLY increases you chance of death/disease. Heart problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, pancreatic cancer just to name a few, are problems that come with obesity. I *could* randomly die as an average weight person, but I’m not at the same risk as an obese person.
.... why are we mixing obese with plus size. These too are very different. There is Nothing beautiful about someone who does not take care of their body. And this works for both sides of the spectrum.

Im not over weight but I wanna go to this salon because it just looks so fun 😂 x
Grace Smith you might not be allowed in. you dont seem to fit the pattern, and you might trigger them
They might not let you in... Apparently it's ok to make a plus size friendly salon and kick out skinny people and not ok to make a skinny friendly salon and kick fat people out. But I don't know if you're allowed in or not, I don't work there.

Coming from a 110 lb woman, I am glad she has opened up a place to make larger women feel beautiful because she's absolutely right, every woman deserves to feel beautiful. No, being 500 lbs is not healthy, however, until you can get your life back on track you still deserve to have a chance and not to feel humiliated.

This is what people do in denial.
They form groups and isolate themselves from everyone unlike them (i.e. healthy), so that they can "empower" eachother; Empower eachother to carry on their self-harm.
Instead, they need to go out into the world and stop hiding; It would be positive inspiration rather than the negative inspiration they're settling for.

Being obviously addicted to heroin can be embarrassing. That's why I opened up a market where blatant drug addicts can be self-empowered and proud.

Having a salon where heavy women can go is great. I get anxiety walking into a regular salon and I'm a size 12. I think that it would be nice if they had fruit drinks and veggie snacks etc just to show you can be beautiful inside and out even if you're not a size 0 but they need to promote a healthy lifestyle too
Dawn Sullivan im autistic but its a very light effect.. When I move to america i did not know what plus size was. Me and my mom accidentally walk into a plus size shop and i start having a heart attack once the worker is like "Im sorry dear i dont think they have you're size here however there is a place across the street". I literally was frozen from the fear.
12 is not even that big.
I totally agree that people need to realise this is not healthy at all, without being humiliated. But snacks in a salon? Really? It's not a restaurant.
Is a 12 in America the same as a UK 12 ??
Dawn Sullivan your beautiful.
I really love her personality and all the things had put in to make her and other people feel welcome, but the owner is only 31 she should worry about her size. I mean like she might die young
Personally I do think it’s a little unhealthy for the owner size but her idea is really good honestly it could help with anxiety
Being fat does not mean they are unhealthy

Yes, because the chair broke. Not because they actually humiliated her.
I get the chair thing. Like, yeah big people need haircuts too. However, serving junk food at a hair salon? That's really pushing it. It's also sad to see such beautiful, kind hearted, talented young ladies like this and knowing that they wont live much longer if they continue to live the lifestyle they are living. I really hope that one day they will decide to make a step and change their selves for the better because they really are good people and they deserve to live a happy healthy life rather than ignoring facts and lying to themselves.
Hello Lara S.
Yeah i was thinking that too. Why not put out a fruit platter or veggies/pretzel chips with hummous or something? Cupcakes may not be the best idea..
Yeah.. I mean i like the whole salon idea but they could at least serve something healthier.
(this is coming from a plus sized human lol)
True!!
Lara S. what a good message I agree!!👍👍
Make a salon for morbidly obese people, feed them sugary juice or alcohol & high calorie treats while you service them. That's the type of "help" only another morbidly obese person in complete denial whose eating to keep from facing whatever is actually wrong would offer. I understand the "everyone should be accepted" concept & I agree with it but she's nothing more than an enabler. If I was obese and I walked into this salon it wouldn't comfort me. If anything, it would make me realize how much of an addiction food is for alot of ppl & that I need help.I'd run out of there & go straight to get help with my health and nutrition. Going in there seeing her not even being able to stand and walk should be enough to make anybody put the cupcake down and leave...
This exactly! 👏
But what if the person willingly wants to get fat like this knowing the consequence?
Just wondering.
why bullies people love to watch surgerys for curvy girls and hate fat people stop because they deserve love & respect like anyone
It's important that everyone has somewhere they can go and feel safe to get the 'normal ' things done ie nails hair etc. No, obesity isn't particularly healthy but still, these ladies exist and they too have the right not to feel threatened or embarrassed or humiliated
I agree
Thank you, this is so important to say.

Sheso Madeline well you know, it's them not us. Just keep thinking live and let live. I know if it was me I'd be making some effort to address my obesity. However it's not me, it's them so let it be. There are worse people on the planet. I've no issue with these ladies. Peace sister🌻
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for body positivity but if it gets to the point where your weight of affecting your physical health you need to do something about it.
This is the reason why I'm trying to lose weight!!! I don't want to have a special chair cos I broke the regular one
You are a person who can see there problems and work toward fixing them. mad respect
Hey how is your weight loss goin?

I’m a world where we promote “all bodies are beautiful” people need to realize that this is simply not true. This woman has many health risks that will come with being 500 lbs and is putting her life in danger. If there were 60 pound woman who starved themselves to maintain that way would you call that beautiful?
True
I believe all bodies are beautiful because god made everyone beautiful but not all bodies are healthy and people get that confused
@Asparagus Plant not if that safe space is destroying them further
You get turned away for salons because the seats wiegh limit is 350 and if you wiegh more then 350 you clearly will break the chair.
Jaja leader Denial
And obviously that's EXACTLY WHY she made a salon for bigger women? To accommodate them because they should be able to feel beautiful and go to a salon that WORKS for THEM
Yes, they should be able to feel beautiful and go to a salon that works for them. However, unfortunately they won't live long enough to enjoy it. The owner Jamie Lopez is worse off then her clients, a candidate for My 600lbs Life. If I were to open a beauty salon, I can make only so many accommodations before saying that its going over my budget to get custom made seats which I have to pay extra for, instead of getting the affordable standard seats. First its the custom made reinforced beauty salon chairs, then its the custom made reinforced hospital beds, and sadly but lastly its the custom made reinforced coffin.
All the women in the salon are just plus sized but Jamie is morbidly obese. Obesity is not something your born with, it doesn’t make you special, it’s a burden to your health. Instead of glorifying obesity these women should focus on losing weight. They’re all beautiful but obesity is serious and it kills a lot of people every year, while there are salons like this that makes it alright to be morbidly obese when it’s really not. Just my opinion🤷♀️
Juliette Phillips I completely get where you’re coming from but she said it was a salon for “all women, all races , all sizes “ and she wanted to make all women to feel beautiful not just plus size women.
@@simple_plan_fan_9847 No medical issues will make you 500 lbs. They can make it harder to lose weight, but that's all.
@@simple_plan_fan_9847 I'm not trying to hate tho
@@simple_plan_fan_9847 yes some people are born with medical conditions such as PCOS which can cause symptoms of weight gain but never usually to an extreme of causing obesity.
@@simple_plan_fan_9847 if it's a medical condition, it is a disease, not something to boast about
Uhh serving cupcakes is probably not the best idea..
well they don't look like that from eating fruit and vegetables!
She is trying to fatten them up so they keep coming back 🤣🤣
Lol
It's called keeping your customer's happy...it's a well known marketing tool to keep customers coming back.
👍🏻
I cried when the owner did, cos I understand her joy making women feel better about themselves. I´ve been a hairstylist for 15 years and totally share her passion for the job beyond just the money
Started out 187 now 165 got to keep going 🙌🏻
Sarah Agrusa congrats i believe in you 😀
Keep going!
You are smart would have been harder if you waited
Don't quit! You're doing great!
You are a really pretty girl and I'm cheering for you doll. ❤❤❤
This is a great idea ..but my self when I was weight 262 it was so hard to losse weight ..I did surgey and now I weight 172 pounds . It is struggle but I feel great.. I change my lifestyle.. I can walk better and have more self confidence now then before..hope she do something with her weight ..best of luck to her
I'm happy for you! Be proud of yourself for going trough such a significant change.
ベースの神 thank you dear ..I'm so happy
Congrats! I haven’t had such a significant weight loss as you but I’ve lost 10 ish pounds out of the 30 I gained from being a freshman in college and it really is a huge lifestyle change. Best of luck to you and your journey 💕
You're a cheater, if you cant lose weight by yourself then you dont deserve to live
Víctor Landero That was unnecessary, and harsh.
I love it. The owner is so beautiful and has such a big heart. There are so many of us that are not size 0's. Those women now have a place to go that they can feel like ladies and add to their beauty. You ladies really have it going on. Plus-sized is a lot of women in my family. I would like for the owner to get her health checked out because she needs to be around to inspire the rest of us who do not feel like we are beautiful because of our weight.
That’s because it’s impossible to be beautiful at 500 pounds. Period. Someone should have shown her tough love and told her the truth. She was dying. Maybe she would still be here. People mostly females jus afraid to hurt someone’s feelings are half the problem. Y’all would LITERALLY let someone off themselves over hurting their feelings. Shameful.
does anyone notice that the owner is sitting on 2 or 3 chairs?!?😬
And your point is
Amanda Astley the point is that she is grossly obese and not just overweight
Thats customised..equivalent of 4 seaters😂😂😂......did u see her stand??all her videos shes just sitting..and this girls still think its fine to be massive when theyre seing the result in front of them when they continue their bad eating habit and laziness to move...
Hell she needs 2 more!!!
@@amandaastley4214 You must be fat
Nice idea!As much as I like it though, I also wish they are looking forward to getting healthier instead of just feeling better with themselves on the inside.
Snaziko losing weight from a high weight isn’t easy. You can’t just say “I’m gonna lose weight” it’s hard. Most women have trouble doing what it takes to be skinnier
You can’t get healthy without feeling better on the inside. You should want to equally want to feel better on the inside and be healthy. One should not be more important then the other. I feel your healthiest when you love yourself inside and out
Kaelie Schorr It’s literally easier when you’re big. Cut back calories a little and walk.
that would be ideal for literally everyone, but a lot of people can’t get healthy. Some have chronic illnesses and things and it’s really really hard for them to not only lose weight but be healthy in general. it’s really not anyone’s place to comment on someone else’s health without knowing their story.
Snaziko I understand where you’re coming from, but sometimes even if your big, you can still be heathy.
The gal: "I broke a chair in that one other salon so i created one of my own with chairs that can hold ppl like me."
Also the gal: spends the entire video sitting in TWO joined chairs' cause one is not enough
This is why i have trust issues
Its 3 chairs...unbelievable
😭😔
I honestly thought it was just one beauty and the beast style wide barrel chair that was as custom as the other chairs she talked about
I wonder if she paid for the chair she broke.
@@nnic3019 it's 4... maybe....
I went to a nail salon The lady doing my nails was extremely ignorant Talking about my weight and how much weight I gained And how I was beautiful a month ago I was completely shocked and embarrassed The salon didn't last very long
Nice Idea but ppl are nowdays putting race,weight and gender into everthing😐
Yeah true
It’s always being into everything you don’t live in America and if you do you must not understand the history
Topaz Rose - Gender and race are different than weight.
lolaveragegirl24 Love Yes I don't but let's see it like this, a chair breaks. Do you think you shouldn't lose weight?
Topaz Rose man I don’t even know cause I’ve never been big and never made a chair break I’m just saying u making it seem like all those things being talked about a lot is abnormal but in America that’s our mentality and how we lived America has literally being built on judging others and always pulling certain people down for no reason
