They were cutting more than nails at this establishment.
A woman enjoying a manicure at a North Carolina nail salon witnessed an unusual sight — workers chopping up deer meat in plain sight.
Morgan Taylor posted about her bizarre experience on Facebook last Thursday, including a photo of a salon worker at Diamond Nails in High Point, NC, kneeling on the floor while cutting hunks of meat.
“Hunting for a new nail salon in High Point, North Carolina? Talk about multitaskers … manicures, pedicures, and amateur deer butchers. Oh deer!” Taylor wrote, along with the hashtags “notfawned” and “ohbuckno.”
Taylor told WXII-TV she was at the salon last Wednesday getting her nails done for her sister’s Saturday wedding when the butchering occurred.
“I was sitting there getting my nails done, and looked over and they were pulling out deer meat from a cooler,” Taylor told the outlet.
“I get scared that I’m going to see trash on the ground or weird smells, but not to see a dead deer.”
Taylor said the workers placed the meat atop a tarp on the floor and sliced it without gloves. Others in the salon, including customers, seemed unfazed by the sight, she said.
“All the workers there were really nice to me and they did a good job, but I don’t think they thought that anyone would care,” said Taylor.
“And they didn’t think it was wrong to cut it in front of clients in the nail salon, which is surprising.”
The incident was reported by Taylor to the North Carolina Board of Cosmetic Arts. They are investigating whether the nail salon violated any codes, the report said.
The owners of the salon had no comment on the occurrence, a woman inside the salon told WXII-TV.
