Tiffney Prickett, a beauty salon owner from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, seems to be eating her words after unleashing a tirade against supporters of President Donald Trump. In her most recent TikTok outburst, she bemoaned her fate and the rapid decline in clientele, claiming they were “dropping like flies” due to her public denunciation of Trump fans. Apparently, speaking with venom about conservative values doesn’t sit well with everyone, who would have thought?
Prickett candidly admitted that her salon, Voiage Salon, is now facing the fallout from her bravado after one long-time client, who had been loyally supporting her for 15 years, showed her the door. This client even sent her husband to demand a refund for pre-purchased gift cards after discovering that Prickett painted her views with the broad brush of insult. Apparently, calling supporters of the duly elected President “racist, homophobic, and misogynistic” didn’t quite create the inclusive atmosphere she was hoping for.

The salon owner sighed, reveling in her own drama as she recounted how relationships soured as a direct result of her diatribe against Trump supporters. Not only had this client treated her well over the years, attending family functions and, shockingly, gifting her presents, but now it seems no amount of past kindness could salvage their relationship. This seems to illustrate the hard truth of modern social politics: it’s all fun and games until someone invests in a gift card.
Prickett has claimed she would “rather work at Chipotle” than have anyone wearing MAGA gear in her salon. Clearly the thought of actually serving food with a smile doesn’t quite match the allure of concocting hair products while stirring the pot. Maybe one day she will discover that her “integrity above all else” truly refers to the integrity of her business, which seems to be headed toward a dramatic decline.
In her self-reflective journey, Prickett has chosen to keep her salon’s website on lockdown—probably a smart move, given that word travels fast in a digital age. While she continues to suffer the fallout from her own actions, one thing is evident: perhaps standing up for human rights isn’t quite as noble when it comes with the consequences of losing loyal customers who simply don’t meet her current social standards. A tough lesson for Prickett, and a shining example for many that, when it comes to business, it’s best to keep politics at the door.
