Salons in San Francisco had been closed since March and were only notified they could reopen on Sept. 1 for outdoor hairstyling services only.
Salon owner Erica Kious, explained she has independent stylists working for her who rent chairs in her salon.
"One of the stylists who rents a chair from me contacted me Sunday night," Kious said.
A screengrab of the text message she received from one of her stylists said: "I'll be there at 2:45 tomorrow. Pelosi assistant just messaged me to do her hair."
Kious replied: "Pelosi?"
Kious cast Pelosi's visit as a double standard.
"It was a slap in the face that she went in, you know, that she feels that she can just go and get her stuff done while no one else can go in, and I can't work," adding that she "can't believe" the speaker didn't have a mask on.
"We're supposed to look up to this woman, right?" Kious said. "It is just disturbing."
"The Speaker always wears a mask and complies with local COVID requirements. This business offered for the Speaker to come in on Monday and told her they were allowed by the city to have one customer at a time in the business. The Speaker complied with the rules as presented to her by this establishment," he said.
But the owner pushed back.
Kious said Pelosi received a wash and a blow-dry, but told Fox News that "you're not supposed to blow dry hair" according to coronavirus safety precautions for hair salons.
"We have been shut down for so long, not just me, but most of the small businesses and I just can't – it's a feeling – a feeling of being deflated, helpless and honestly beaten down," Kious said. Below is her interview with Tucker Carlson.
She added: "The fact that they did this, and she came in, it's like a slap in the face."
But Kious said she is not alone in the hardships she has faced amid closures during the coronavirus pandemic.
"This is for everybody," she said. "I am sharing this because of what everyone in my industry, and my city, what every small business is going through right now."
"No one can last anymore," she said. "I have also lost 60 percent of my clientele because everyone is fleeing the city."
Kious said that the area where her salon is located has turned into "a third world country," saying that "every other storefront is completely vacant and shut down and boarded up."
"It has gotten so extreme," she said. "It is so night and day from what it was a year ago, that everyone is fleeing."
Here's the most important point to this story. Nancy Pelosi demonized Erica Kious. Pelosi lied to protect her reputation and power. Pelosi made the victim the villain. As a result, Erica was flooded with hateful messages and even death threats. Her Yelp site was overwhelmed with negative reviews.
Do you think that Nancy Pelosi will apologize and exonerate this innocent woman from the hate that the Speaker has rained down on her?
What more do you need to know? Nancy sees one standard for herself and another for everyone else. The pandemic is our problem not hers. The shutdown is our problem not hers.
What was unmasked today is the total disregard for people's businesses, reputation and safety.
Example: their military arm, Antifa/BLM has left nothing but destroyed businesses behind them—businesses that never rise again from the ashes. Witness the pathetic plea of a single mom as she begs these thugs to spare her business which lay in the path of the rioters:
