A routine haircut turned into a disturbing ordeal after a client made gun-related threats and used a medical excuse to justify his harassment
His excuse didn't sit well with her.

McKenna Woods (@ken_hairstylist), a hairstylist from Iowa, told TikTok about her allegedly disruptive client. Throughout his hair appointment, Woods said he had been making inappropriate comments and then using his supposed autism as an excuse.
Woods responded to a viral clip of her client, Chris, which accused her of being rude and mean. He also told others not to seek her services. Woods replied on TikTok, “I think this guy came in here thinking he’s high and mighty because he’s this upcoming rapper, a content creator.”
Woods claimed she made small talk with her client, asking him how many followers he had on social media. She clarified that her issue wasn’t his follower count but his alleged behavior in the salon. The hairstylist continued, “My problem is the way he acted in here, while my coworker had a client in here who is nine years old.”
In a clip stitched to her TikTok, the nine-year-old can be overheard addressing Woods’ client, saying, “Do you realize she has a boyfriend?” The client replied, “I’m not doing that. I’m just being autistic.”
“And he’s rapping. He’s being very disruptive, being very disrespectful, making these comments about how he’s autistic,” Woods added. She alleged he was using his supposed condition to justify his behavior. In addition to comments about his mental health, Woods said he also made an inappropriate remark to her.
“I know you already have a boyfriend, so you’re not gonna be my wife,” the man allegedly told Woods. Then, she showed a screenshot of her Instagram followers, explaining that he followed her business page, personal page, and even her boyfriend’s page. She also clarified that she didn’t care whether or not her client had autism but emphasized that his behavior was unacceptable.
A disturbing interaction with his hairstylist
“I think he was just trying to get content, trying to tick ‘small-town hairstylist off’ or something,” Woods said. She says he’s been posting her on his social media page, which makes her believe that his behavior was an act.
On his Instagram story, he said, “My autism is already getting me in trouble in this town. Just to clear the air, me and this hairstylist were having fun, talking s*** to each other the whole time. I really like my hair.” In that recent post, he also recommended Woods as a hairstylist, rescinding his comment from his initial video.
Regardless of whether he’s putting on an act, Woods still said her former client is “a full-on creep.” She alleged that, because of the customer, others refused to leave the salon because she felt uncomfortable with the man. Moreover, Woods also claimed that the man knew details about her personal life before she even started the service.
Woods’ discomfort only worsened when the man started talking about guns. She continued, “And I was visibly uncomfortable the whole time, especially when he mentioned that he knows how to shoot guns.” He allegedly assumed that, as a woman, Woods didn’t own a gun and couldn’t shoot one, calling her “hopeless.”
“You are 40 years old. Get a grip on life,” she remarked. By the end of her TikTok, she also stitched a video of him rapping. A commenter on Woods’ clip reacted, “Mackleless.” While Woods experienced that her customer wasn’t pleasant, a server from Virginia had an equally disturbing experience after her customers made her an unwilling actress in their skit.
