TL;DR
Be
careful
coming
here
if
you
are
a
PoC!
I
visited
here
in
July
when
lice
ran
through
our
family
of
6.
My
one
of
the
other
adults
in
our
house
-who
has
relatively
straight
hair-
visited
the
day
before
me
and
highly
recommended
it.
I
really
didn't
want
to
do
one
of
those
at
home
treatments
after
having
to
do
them
on
our
kids
for
the
last
couple
days
so
I
figured
I'd
get
it
done
professionally.
I
understand
that
this
is
Portland,
and
it's
fairly
homogenous
here,
so
I
called
beforehand
and
let
the
person
at
the
desk
know
that
I
am
a
PoC
and
my
hair
is
thick
and
textured/coily.
I
asked
if
there
was
anything
special
I
should
do
to
prepare
to
help
the
appointment
go
smoothly.
The
person
who
answered
the
phone
seemed
annoyed
that
I
asked
and
just
assured
me
that
as
long
as
my
hair
was
clean
and
dry
it
would
be
fine.
I
asked
if
I
should
blow
dry
it
or
leave
it
in
it's
natural
curly
state
and
again
annoyed
she
insisted
whichever
would
be
fine
as
long
as
it
was
clean
and
dry,
she
could
work
with
it.
I
detangled
and
blew
my
hair
dry
to
make
it
straighter
and
sectioned
it
out
in
twists
so
it
would
be
faster/easier
to
get
through.
The
first
thing
she
did
was
take
down
all
the
section.
I
thought
"That's
fine,
she
knows
what
she's
doing,
maybe
she
needs
to
be
able
to
access
the
whole
head
at
once."
She
then
proceeds
to
rake
her
hands
through
my
hair
and
make
little
comments
about
how
thick
my
hair
is.
I
tried
to
offer
helpful
tips
like
"It's
easier
to
go
through
it
in
sections,
and
it's
much
easier
to
comb
through
when
it's
wet."
She
more
or
less
ignored
me
and
proceeded
to
yank
the
tiniest
comb
in
the
world
through
my
hair.
I'm
not
tender
headed
by
any
means,
but
a
good
amount
of
hair
was
coming
out.
As
she
was
yanking,
she
was
making
more
comments
and
jokes
about
how
she's
only
worked
with
'my
kind
of
hair'
once
before
and
how
most
of
her
clients
have
'finer,
straighter'
hair
that's
'easier
to
work
with'
and
any
time
she
seemed
unsure
of
what
to
do
next,
she
would
chuckle
(probably
nervously)
about
just
how
much
hair
i
have
etc
etc.
I
was
so
uncomfortable
the
entire
time,
but
I've
never
had
lice
before
and
as
chunks
were
coming
out
of
my
head
and
I
was
sure
all
my
ends
were
being
split,
i
kept
reminding
myself
it
would
grow
back
and
as
long
as
the
lice
were
gone,
i
could
live
with
it.
Luckily,
another
employee,
a
Latina
woman,
came
in
and
looked
with
concern
at
what
was
happening.
At
this
point
I'd
been
there
maybe
an
hour
and
the
lady
had
maybe
gotten
through
just
under
half
my
head
between
the
treatments
and
combing).
The
other
employee
took
my
persona
aside
and
led
her
to
the
closet
where
apparently
they
had
things
like
hair
clips
and
wider
toothed
combs
(thank
the
heavens).
She
came
back
and
explained
to
my
person
that
she
needed
to
use
a
bigger
comb,
sections,
and
wet
the
hair
(!!!).
My
person
NOW
tried
a
couple
of
these
things
and
said
something
to
the
effect
of
"I
totally
forgot
we
had
these
things.
You
know
I
never
really
need
them
since
I
usually
work
with
straight
hair"
Things
were
moving
much
faster
and
she
was
making
comments
about
how
'fun
it
is
to
play
with
once
you
find
your
rhythm'.
The
other
woman
had
her
own
client
by
this
point,
but
made
a
point
to
regularly
look
over
and
give
my
person
pointers.
It
was
an
absolute
godsend
as
I
am
autistic
and
I
was
at
that
point
very
very
overstimulated
and
trying
very
hard
to
sit
still.
Hair
was
no
longer
being
yanked
out,
everything
moved
faster,
and
with
one
last
comment
about
how
'all
of
their
shower
caps
are
too
small
for
this
hair',
she
covered
my
hair
with
the
final
solution,
half
covered
it
with
a
shower
cap,
and
stuffed
paper
towels
in
and
around
the
cap
to
try
to
cover
as
much
as
she
could.
I
felt
ridiculous,
I
was
so
embarrassed.
The
final
solution
did
end
up
taking
forever
to
wash
out,
but
after
I
believe
three
washes
in
the
shower
using
3
different
shampoos,
it
was
out
and
I
was
lice
free
and
exhausted
2
stars
because
it
*did*
get
rid
of
the
lice,
and
I'm
sure
the
other
person
would
have
been
a
better
fit
for
me
