Celebrity Stylist Derek J Threatened In Atlanta Hair Salon

Folks take their hair seriously, so much so that gunfire recently erupted at an Atlanta hair salon owned by celebrity stylist Derek J.

Really?

Derek is a flamboyant stylist known  for his reality show apperances on the Real Housewives of Atlanta, apperances on the Chris Rock documentary, "Good Hair" and his stylish heels and flashy outfits.

But this was no reality show -- and no director yelled "cut" -- when reality show actress Frankie, sister of R&B signer Keyshia Cole, showed up at Derek's J Spot Salon complaining of a bad wig job by rival stylist, Corwin Pledger.

The J Spot tried to fix the botched hairstyle and reached out to the stylist who unsuccessfully did the do. That's when things got nasty. Pledger showed up at the salon and, according to J Spot co-owner LIsa McCall, pulled out a gun.

Spot Salon co-owner Lisa McCall told ABC News that when she asked him to leave, he waved his gun in her face, threatening her.

"He said, don't think I won't, don't think I won't," McCall said.

McCall said Pledger shot a bullet in the floor. Pledger told Atlanta radio station V-103 that he shot at a stylist's feet after hot curling irons were thrown at him, but McCall denied those charges.

Drama At The Hair Salon
I'm no hair salon expert, but I don't know many hair salons that would call a stylist and try to fix their work; they'd just fix it and be done with it. IJS. I know we bond over our hair salon time, but too many have too much drama --- stylists, customers and everyone else fighting.

Now, a stylist might get stabbed with some hair shears if she cuts someone's hair off when she says she's only doing a trim. Or she could threatened to get burned with a hot pressing comb if a client's hair falls out after a relaxer.

These things have been known to happen. But a stylist pulls out a gun about a bad wig job -- because they were offended that someone didn't like their work? Come on, son!

Let's add this to the many reasons why I don't regularly patronize hair salons anymore ... too much drama!
