An Iowa salon received major social media backlash this week after posting a photo of Ivanka Trump when she visited the store to get her hair styled before an event.

Salon Spa W, in Des Moines’ East Village, posted a picture Monday on its Facebook page of the first daughter, who was in town to tour Waukee school district's Aspiring Professional Experience program (APEX), with Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, the Des Moines Register reported. Reynolds was standing next to Trump in the photograph.

“Our Monday kicked off with styling Ivanka Trump for her visit to Iowa! We [love] supporting women in politics,” the salon wrote in a caption on Facebook, which has since been edited.

Despite the salon’s excitement, hundreds of followers lambasted the business for styling the White House adviser and threatened to never return. Some people said the photo was “f---ing gross” and vowed to unfollow the page.

“I agree with previous posters...this is NOTHING to be proud of,” one woman wrote.

Another Facebook user commented, “Will never book an appointment at this salon again. Total bum out. This salon employs hetero/non-hetero individuals and this just truly sucks. The fact that Salon Spa W was inclusive was always a big A + to me. You put your money where your mouth is as your vote. I loved this salon. I'm so, so disappointed and I can't imagine how your non-cisgender employees/clients feel. Fail. Won't ever be back.”

“You will never get my business based on this one post,” a woman wrote, garnering dozens of “thumbs up” and “heart” reactions from users.

First daughter Ivanka Trump scolded NBC and MSNBC reporter Peter Alexander during an interview when he asked her if she believed her father's sexual misconduct accusers.

Some clients said the salon “should know better” than to serve Trump, while others said they lost all respect for the employees. Several people did come to the salon’s defense, however, and said they were “proud” of the business’ achievement.

China Wong, the president of Salon Spa W, released a separate statement on Tuesday defending her choice to style Trump. Wong said salon employees were “taken aback” by the negative response.

“We believe everyone matters and deserves our indiscriminate care and kindness,” Wong wrote in the statement. “We were taken aback by the response to the image below of our Governor with Ivanka Trump who received services from our salon. We also recognize impact matters more than intent. While we are not a partisan organization we do see it as part of our mission to welcome people to Des Moines and serve everyone. We share images of our clients, some that are recognizable public figures, to showcase our work.”

Wong said her business has served prominent musicians, actors, Broadway stars and politicians, including former President Barack Obama, over the years. The salon is near the State Capitol and Civic Center.

“We also serve you –– our beautiful, diverse and passionate community. We proudly share our work and celebrate all of you because our purpose is making people look and feel beautiful,” Wong concluded. “Again, we believe everyone matters and deserves our indiscriminate care and kindness.”

How "inclusive" and liberal of them...

oh the huge manatee

someone got their hair styled...

lets get a group photo of all the snowflakes that have threatened (promised) not to go back and put it on the wall so everyone will recognize the arrogant twats when they return

I wonder if Bendable has heard the big news over in Tiny Town?

There are women in Iowa?

Kind of reminds me of how many Hollywood elites said they would leave the country in Mr. Trump was elected. How many left zero. I made a private list of those that opened their big mouths and have not supported them or the companies they shilled for.

Some people need to get a hobby. One other than expressing rage online or caring too much about things that don't affect their life.

And they claim that conservatives are full of hate.

Yeah - I am sure the posters are actual customers - and they are all beautiful like Ivanka.

The left is full of miserable people.

Apparently there are females there. Would not classify them as women, tho.

Can't a girl even get her wig split anymore? GOSH!

I have a friend who works at that salon, and they welcome everyone.

Some people like this place because they are so inclusive, but now they're upset because they included everyone. Freakin' hypocrites.

You know why farmers in Iowa roll their ball cap bills?
So they don’t knock their hat off looking in mailbox for that government check.

If I was the owner, I would never take these yahoos back, and they wil try to slink back.

This surprises me, coming from a Midwest state... I didn't realize that Iowa was so far left.

It's not, we elected Trump by 10 points. Both Senators are GOP, as our three of the four congressmen. However, there are idiot liberals (I know, that's redundant) everywhere, and they all love social media to demonstrate how tolerant they are.
