A Salon Owner Is Threatening To Sue Me For Defamation Of Character After I Made Negative Comments About Someone That Rents A Booth At Their Salon.

Hi all!

Location: North Carolina, United States

I had my hair done on Saturday and the stylist absolutely butchered it. I posted on a local page asking for advice on where to go to have it corrected. Someone asked me if I got it done locally. I said, “Yes, it was . She’s ignoring my messages and is refusing to refund. She works at in and some other place as well, but I’m not sure where the second one is.”

Now the salon owner has called me, yelled at me to delete the comment and leave her stylist alone or she’ll sue me for defamation of character. She said the stylist just rents a chair there, which I had no way of knowing until she was already threatening to sue me, but I’m not sure if that would change anything. That comment is the only direct mention of the salon’s name.

Can she actually sue me for defamation just for saying that someone that messed up my hair works at the business she owns? Thank you in advance!
