I stopped in since I was in the area for a mammogram and wanted to pick up a relaxer. I considered trying the regular-strength Mizani, since I usually use their Butter Blends but feel like my hair has gotten too used to it. I ultimately decided against it, but as I was browsing, I couldn’t help but notice the energy in the store. I intentionally stayed near one of the sales associates (the Black security guard) because I didn’t feel like dealing with the usual assumptions I’ve experienced in some Asian-owned beauty supply stores. I ended up asking for Dark & Lovely instead, but they didn’t have it, so I left without buying anything. I thanked the gentleman who helped me, and as I walked out, I also thanked the woman who had come down from the register. She responded with a dismissive “hmm hmm” while peeking into my tote, clearly checking to see if I’d taken something. I honestly wanted to laugh … of all the issues in this country, some people still cling to tired stereotypes. I’d be curious to know how many non-Black women have stolen from them without being given a second glance. It’s unlikely I’ll return, especially since they weren’t well stocked to begin with. But I did want to share my experience.
