A viral video of a hairdresser asking permission to touch a customer's hair has been described as "bizarre" with social media users slamming the "woke" interaction.
JPalm Hairdressing shared the video - which features stylist Jordan Palmer asking her client if she can touch their hair - on TikTok.
Palmer can firstly be seen asking her customer for permission before she asks what their pronouns are.
In the clip, she says: "Is it OK if I touch it?"

The customer then gives Palmer permission, before she asks: "What are your pronouns?"
After discussing their pronouns, the hairdresser is heard saying: "I'm glad we've exchanged those."
Palmer then talks for around four minutes before the cut begins - asking about the client’s hair history, how long they eventually want their hair, and how she’ll cut it to suit the client’s tastes.
The interaction has received backlash from users online, with some describing the conversation as "exhausting".

According to JPalm Hairdressing's social media page, the salon in Omaha, Nebraska, "welcome queer, disabled, femme owned".
Other users have congratulated the hairdresser for making the client feel “safe”.
"I personally don’t go to stylists/dressers because I’m neurodivergent," one user said.
"An interaction like this would be really helpful."
