While the world was celebrated Nia Long on Twitter for being the ageless baddie that she is, the Love Jones actress has been using her social media platform to call folks out.
According to Long, while Glam Squad, a company that provides beauty and hair services, may claim to be about “diversity in beauty,” her experiences were the exact opposite.
“Hey guys make sure you check out @GlamSquad page on IG. They claim to support diversity in beauty, but I had a very different experience. There’s nothing black about GlamSquad DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I’m still waiting for an apology from the CEO Amy Shecter,” she wrote on June 3 on Twitter.
Her tweet was in response to the brand’s IG post showing support for #BlackOutTuesday.

Now, in a comment Long left on that post above, Long went into further detail about her experiences, which were definitely problematic. According to Long, while in San Francisco, she enlisted services from Glam Squad, which included getting her makeup down.
Long claims that a white MUA told her, “We don’t do make-up for Black people very often. I don’t have foundation that matches your color.”
Naturally, Long said hearing those words, she was in “shock, angry and disgusted.”
The MUA artist was asked to leave and Long made sure she had an in-depth conversation with the company’s CEO Amy Shecter to talk about the importance of educating their employees on the importance of being able to meet the needs of their Black clientele. Yet, Long feels that her conversation with Shecter was in vain.
