Actions have consequences, and Tiffney Prickett, the owner of Voiage Salon in conservative Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, is learning that the hard way. After posting a series of scathing, anti-Trump videos online, she’s managed to alienate her Republican clientele—who just so happen to be the backbone of her business. Shocking, right? Insulting your primary customer base might not be the savviest business move.
It all started when Prickett posted a video ranting about men emboldened by Trump’s so-called “misοgynistic” leadership. She claimed Trump supporters say things like, “Your body, my choice,” and accused men of standing idly by while their peers act inappropriately toward women. Her tirade didn’t stop there. In another video, she escalated her attacks, labeling Trump fans as “rаcist, hοmοphobic, misοgynistic rapists.” That’s not exactly the type of talk that inspires loyalty in a town full of conservative voters.
Naturally, her Republican-leaning clients weren’t thrilled. One long-time client of 15 years, offended by Prickett’s words, sent her husband to demand a refund on unused gift cards, citing discomfort with continuing to support the salon. This client, who had showered Prickett with gifts and kind gestures over the years, found herself lumped in with the hateful caricature Prickett painted of Trump supporters.
Incredibly, Prickett seems to have no regrets. Instead, she’s doubling down, painting herself as some sort of martyr for “human rights.” In her words, she’d rather “go work at Chipotle” than treat Trump supporters with basic courtesy. And judging by her own admissions, she might need to dust off her résumé. In a follow-up video, Prickett revealed that her salon is hemorrhaging customers. “They’re dropping like flies,” she lamented, as if this came as a surprise.

Here’s the kicker: even as her business spirals, she insists she stands by her remarks. She claims she’s “suffering the consequences” but remains unapologetic. The irony? Her tirade against Trump supporters is a perfect example of the very intolerance she claims to oppose.
In the end, Prickett has turned a thriving, 22-year career into a cautionary tale about the dangers of biting the hand that feeds you. Idaho’s conservatives didn’t just walk out of her salon—they ran. And if Prickett keeps this up, she’ll be giving haircuts a miss and rolling burritos instead.
