An Alabama hair salon owner and two of her stylists are behind bars for allegedly kidnapping and assaulting one of their clients over a dispute about the cost of their braiding services.
The arrests stem from a now-viral video that shows a salon owner grab a client’s newly installed braids and refusing to let go until she pays $250.
Jessica Odom took to TikTok to recount what happened when she got her hair braided at a Birmingham salon called Mama Gifted Hands.
In her video, she posted screenshots of texts she exchanged with the salon owner that day in which she booked a same-day hair appointment for boho knotless braids. The owner tells her the starting price for braids is $200 and could cost more depending on length and other factors.
