UPDATE: In a statement to the Daily Dot, @ur.skin.therapist Armenthia Carr said, “Moments like this happen more often than people realize, especially to beauty professionals who interact closely with clients and the public. It’s one of the reasons I believe estheticians and beauty professionals should take domestic violence seriously and continue their education, not just in services, but in recognizing red flags and knowing how to respond safely and professionally.”
Featured VideoA TikTok video from @ur.skin.therapist shows two women at Lotus Lux Med Spa expertly shutting down a man fishing for info.
In the now-viral clip, a man enters the spa asking to buy a gift card for his wife. Right away, something felt off. “I think she gets the Dysport or something from here,” he said. One of the women behind the desk, dressed in pink scrubs, immediately sensed that something was wrong.
AdvertisementTo buy time and slow the exchange, she calmly asked, “Are you sure it’s dysport?” The receptionist echoed her. Meanwhile, the man stumbled through his story, unsure about what his wife gets or even if she’s a client.
Despite his vagueness, he began to push harder. He asked them to check if his wife had been there recently, mentioning three months ago as a possible date. However, the receptionist held firm, saying, “Unfortunately, I wouldn’t be able to give out that information.”
Even after being offered a workaround, by purchasing a gift card to email her directly, the man pressed. “I wanna make sure she’s getting it from the same person,” he insisted. The receptionist told him again that they couldn’t confirm or deny if she was a client, citing HIPAA policy.
Then, the conversation took a strange turn. “We’re on rocky terms,” the man said, before launching into crocodile tears. “We haven’t talked in a while… I just want to make sure she goes here.”
AdvertisementThroughout the exchange, the woman in pink remained calm but alert. As soon as he mentioned their rocky relationship, she subtly reached for her phone, ready to call for help if things escalated.
Even then, both employees stand firm. The receptionist gently repeated, “We still won’t be able to give you that information.” The man, seeing he wasn’t getting anywhere, eventually backed down and left.

Many especially applauded the lady in pink for her “discernment” and immediately clocking that something wasn’t right with the situation.
One person commented, “Mama in the pink wasn’t having it from the moment he started talking 🤣”
Over on Reddit, where the video was reposted, people shared stories of situations where women weren’t so lucky, including a woman whose husband destroyed the hotel room she was staying in when he got an extra card made.
