over a major flu, gotta have your priorities straight). I dressed in my
typical manner, black pullover sweater, long black skirt slit to the
knee, black tights, black knee boots, leather jacket. When I got to the
salon at about 10 (they open at 10 and I like to get there when they
open) there were a few ladies standing outside waiting on the salon to
open (they were running late). I walked up to the salon and joined the
ladies standing outside. As women will do, they were chatting about the
late opening. One asked me if I was a regular and I told them that I
was. We talked for a bit (they opened 15 minutes late) and I had no
indication of being read from the ladies. When we got inside the manager
starting divvying the work up among the employees and one lady that was
there before me got a bit miffed because they took me before her. She
said something like "I was here before this lady (referring to me) so
why are you dealing with her first?" After we cleared it up and she got
her manicure, she chatted and referred to me as a woman all the time and
even apologized for getting so pissy.
Another patron who was there before opening leaned over from where she
was getting her nails done and asked my if [someone] was my sister. I
told her that [someone] was not my sister and she informed me that I
looked just like [someone]. She gave me a warm smile, but it didn't
strike me as a knowing smile.
After I was done getting my nails done and was heading for my coat, 2
ladies that had arrived after us stopped me and asked if they could
check out my nails. They had been told that I was getting gels and were
curious as to how they looked. I let them admire my nails and told them
a few key differences between the acrylics & gels (They loved how
natural mine looked).
So, did I pass or was I accepted? Is there really a difference?
