Sometimes, we just like to pamper ourselves.

That can translate to indulging in some much needed retail therapy or going for a relaxing massage, or getting our nails done.

Unfortunately not every trip to the nail salon is a happy one.

We’ve all heard horror stories about customers that have gone to get their nails done only to end up figuring out the workers are gossiping rudely about them in another language – or worse – have literal painful experiences caused by worker negligence or an allergic reaction to the products.

However, one woman’s trip to a nail salon in California has left her in tears and feeling ashamed.

According to Jennifer Dreyer Brown, the staff at Happy Nails, located in Laguna Niguel, treated her unfairly due to her lupus condition

“The one time I choose to go out in a sundress because its 110 degrees people judge me because I have lupus and my skin is broken out.

I never felt more like a leper and more judged in Orange County. I just want you to know you need to be nice to people. You don’t know what’s going on with someone on the inside or outside for that matter.”
