A salon owner in heavily conservative Idaho is learning that insulting President Trump’s patriotic supporters comes at a steep cost.
As the New York Post reported Wednesday, 40-year-old Tiffney Prickett, who runs Voiage Salon in Coeur d’Alene, started her downward spiral after first uploading an anti-male video following Trump’s landslide with over Kamala Harris. She whimpered that Trump enabled his male supporters to be sexist pigs and expressed confusion as to why other males were supposedly too cowardly to take a stand.
“Trump basically gave small men the ability and the courage to be misogynistic and hateful and say s**t like ‘Your body, my choice’ and ‘You won’t have a choice’ and ‘You will bear my child whether you like it or not,’” Prickett whined.
“The comments are so gross. The things men say to women are so gross,” the stylist continued. “And I don’t know why more men don’t come to the defense of women. I don’t know why men witness aggression towards women and stand idly by and do nothing. I don’t understand.”
“I don’t understand why more men don’t have the courage to stick up to these small men who think they can do whatever they want and say whatever they want to women. And I’m just f**king sick of it,” she concluded.

Not surprisingly, these nasty comments infuriated her predominantly Republican clientele. Prickett then doubled down with another video that castigated not only Trump but the rest of his fans as racist, homophobic, and misogynistic rapists.
Prickett also revealed that a female client sent her husband to demand a refund on gift cards (which she does not allow). After hearing Prickett’s remarks, the client decided to take her business elsewhere.
“So this is me suffering the consequences of my own actions. I just had a client send her husband into my salon and demand a refund for gift cards because of my stance that if you support a racist, homophobic, misogynist rapist, and you’re okay with those things because you supported them that you are in fact those things,” Prickett said in the video.
“And she was so offended by that, he said she did not feel comfortable coming to my salon anymore,” she continued.
Pickett added that the female client had been kind to her for 15 years, making the salon owner look even more like a witch.
“I didn’t want to deal with them anyway because I knew that that whole family were Trump supporters because I’ve been doing her for 15 years, I’ve been to her family functions and family events. She’s given me gifts over the years. She was a very good client,” Pickett stated.
“I knew she was a Republican, which I don’t have a problem with you being a Republican. I have a problem with you wanting to strip human rights away from people,” she added. “I will stand up for human rights and suffer those consequences.”
@beautybytiffney It is the right thing to do. Period. #sorrynotsorry #humanrights ♬ original sound – Tiffney
Now, the news has gotten even worse for Prickett. In a follow-up video released last week, she revealed that her salon business is in dire straits, and customers flew in droves because of her cruel words.
“They’re dropping like flies,” Pickett said. “I lost another one of my clients today who clearly was a Trump supporter.”
Pickett went on to say she would rather lose her business altogether and “go work at Chipotle” rather than treat Trump fans with basic human decency. She also admitted that she interviewed for a position at the restaurant, seemingly acknowledging that her business may soon go broke.
Despite her worsening fortunes, Pickett maintains she has no regrets about potentially throwing away her 22-year career in the salon business.
“So, again, I’m reaping what I sow,” she concluded. “I’m suffering the consequences of my own actions. But I stand by what I said.”
