A nail salon is fighting back after a woman made rude and racist remarks towards staff. Organic Nail Bar has gone public about the incident and posted a video of the woman's behaviour on social media. She reportedly never paid for their services after going on a racist rant in the Toronto nail salon. The video itself is only a few seconds long, and the woman has her back turned to the camera while she is getting a manicure.

On behalf of Organic Nail Bar, we would like to share this unwanted incident that happened today at our salon. First of all, when this customer came to the store, she tried to get a discount by accusing our employee of not doing a proper job while it was halfway through the service. Secondly, as she didn’t want to pay for the service, she used racist remarks and discriminatory attitudes towards our employees. Thirdly, we feel the need to speak up because we want other customers to know both sides of the story about this one-star review. We have two other customers who witnessed her bullying words and actions at Organic Nail Bar BlueJays. We are known for our quality customer service for years. Customers’ satisfaction is always our top priority. We always respect our customers and we hope our customers do the same. We’re just trying to work hard so that we’re able to bring bread to the table. We are sharing this as we hope to spread the message that discrimination and racism should not be tolerated by any means. Once again, we want to emphasize the racism we received. She said,”Why they let Asian people in our country?”. Customers and employees in the store confirmed that they have heard her hate speech clearly. Lastly, when we asked her to leave because of her disrespectful behaviour, she didn’t pay for our service we had provided for her. Our lawyers will be working on a lawsuit about this racist action towards our business. A post shared by Organic Nail Bar The 6ix (@organicnailbarthe6ix) on Aug 10, 2020 at 6:36am PDT Other customers who were also there at the time were the ones who sent the footage in, according to the post. Employees of the salon confirmed that the other customers had asked the woman not to be rude, which she reportedly ignored, the salon said to Narcity. Ultimately, she was asked to leave after an hour of verbally abusing the staff. She also went on to leave a one-star review of her experience, according to the salon. Now, the business says it will go so far as to pursue legal action after several witnesses can confirm that the hate speech did occur. "Customers and employees in the store confirmed that they have heard her hate speech clearly," says the post."Our lawyers will be working on a lawsuit about this racist action towards our business." This isn't the first time that a racist rant has been captured on film in Toronto this summer. Recently, a Filipina-Canadian woman was told to "go back to China" by a white woman while she was reading in a Toronto park. Other incidents have also been captured on the TTC, in supermarkets, as well as on the street.
