A nail salon in Brooklyn is catching major heat after a video online has gone viral.
At New Red Apple Nail in East Flatbush, a Black woman is caught on camera being hit with a broom by another woman in a black shirt.
The Black woman being hit eventually walks out of the salon, while employees in smocks surround two other Black women in the corner. The groups yell at each other, and one employee even throws liquid at the Black women. You can watch the video for yourself here.

According to Pix 11, the whole incident occurred because a grandmother was dissatisfied with her eyebrow work and refused to pay the salon.
The recording of the incident went up on Friday on Facebook and eventually gained over 700,000 views. Protesters started gathering around the nail salon on Monday demanding the business be closed and locals take their money elsewhere. Chants of “black dollars matter” were shouted amongst gatherers.
Activist Jasmine Johnson says the liquid thrown in the video was acetone, the primary ingredient in nail polish remover.
“So because she did not want to pay the $5 for her messed-up eyebrows, they attacked this grandmother and her two granddaughters with sticks, threw acetone on them and then called the police on them,” Johnson said.
