A salon owner has received criticism for refusing to accept customers who had received the covid-19 vaccine.
Suzanne Holliday, the founder of White Rabbit Healing in Glasgow, posted a statement on Instagram on Monday confirming that she would no longer accept certain customers from 31st May.
The statement reads: "I (Suzanne) will not be treating any new or existing clients who have received any Covid-19 vaccination.

"This decision is not one of fear. Fear is the lowest vibration. It is simply to protect my clients, myself and my child from the unknown effects of this experimental injection after my own experiences since coming back to work."
Suzanne went on to defend her decision to restrict her services to protect herself. She added: "I don't just hang out in the same room as you, I massage my skin against your skin for 8 hours a day."
She added that she would review her new policy in 2023 after trials are complete and there is further evidence around the vaccines, referring to a debunked theory about "vaccine shedding".

The theory suggests that people who have been vaccinated could pass the virus on to those who have not yet been vaccinated. However, experts such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reportedly said this is biologically impossible.
Vincent Venditto, PhD, assistant professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy debunked the theory in an interview with medical website Health. He said: "That's not the basis or science behind any of the vaccines we're currently using for Covid-19."
An update from Suzanne added: "Any unkind, hateful private messages will be deleted a blocked." She also clarified that customers with appointments will be contacted and refunded.
