A Los Angeles hairstylist is getting a lot of support after protection footage demonstrated how she dealt with a patron who disrespected her assistant.
Sharon Spellman was doing a simple root touch-up job on a longtime client, Robin, when she mentioned that her new helper would be finishing it up.
Despite this being a common practice in hair salons, Robin took issue with the turn of events, showing as much in a extremely disrespectful manner.
“She basically was just telling me,’ Sit your ass down, you’re going to do my hair when I tell you to do it, ’” Spellman said in an Instagram Live after the video travelled viral.
The video itself demonstrates Spellman going out of her direction to reassure Robin that her assistant is highly trained and will do a great job helping out.
“It’s me, I would never do something to attain you uncomfortable, ” the stylist says, keeping a playful tone in an attempt to diffuse the situation.
Robin, nonetheless, threatens to leave halfway through its present session, which Spellman doesn’t take lightly.
“You have half your coloring on, and you’re going to talk to me like that? ” she requests. “Robin! ”
As Robin becomes increasingly agitated, Spellman again asks her not to speak so disrespectfully, at which point Robin makes a blatantly threatening move toward her, as if she’s going to hit her over the disagreement.
“Robin, get the f* ck out, ” Spellman says, immediately ushering her patron out of the chair.
Robin, bewildered at the idea that her actions have consequences, makes a few attempts to apologize so as to get Spellman to finish up her hair after all. But this stylist wasn’t interested in Robin’s disrespect toward her helper and was clearly done trying to reason with her after a threat of physical violence.

After the video started viral, Spellman went on Instagram Live to clarify that she had had issues with Robin treating people in her store disrespectfully in the past.
“She has been my client for like a year and a half, two years now. And she was the client in the salon, prior to the opening of me is currently working on the shop, that was getting passed around because no one could manage her vigours, ” she said. “She would sometimes kind of be out of line towards other people in the salon, and I would look at her, and I would be like,’ Robin, that’s not is an excellent. We can’t talk to people that way.’”
But Spellman said that with her assistant, Alex, she felt that Robin’s disrespect crossed the line into racism.
“She judged her from the jump, ” she said, recalling other hours Robin seemed to be stimulating disrespectful commentaries about minorities, specifically Mexican people.
Spellman, in part, captioned the video on Instagram, “ROBIN IS THE NEW KAREN Y’ALL.”
Spellman’s handling of the situation was largely commended by tribes online, who couldn’t believe Robin had the audacity to speak to these women in such a manner, especially while expecting to be served.
