Teen Mom Ashley Jones slammed for leaving daughter Holly, 5, alone at a hair salon for hours in new video

Jun 25, 2023

ASHLEY Jones has shared a new video where she expresses her frustration with her daughter's new hairstyle - while admitting she left her daughter alone at the salon.

A Teen Mom fan page reposted Ashley's video on their Instagram page.

In the video, the 26-year-old said: "I took my baby to get her hair braided, right? Her graduation is coming up, we did her pictures, pick out her little style - boom."

The MTV star then showed a photo of the style her daughter Holly, 5, wanted which was "feed-in braids going into two space buns. Super cute, super easy, super simple - right?"

The lady at the salon told her the style would take about two and a half hours.

Ashley mentioned that the lady has done her daughter's hair before and she sat there and watched the first time.

The reality television star said she goes there all the time so she's "comfortable leaving her there for the two hours."

Ashley ran some errands and did her motherly duties while the daughter was getting her hair done.

When it's time to pick her daughter up, her daughter's hair looks nothing like the style she asked for.

Even though she asked for tiny feed-in braids and two space buns, her daughter walked out of the salon with one bun and, what Ashley called, "knotted-a** braids."

She said, "When I tell you I wanted to cry for my baby because she sat in that chair... and my baby is tender-headed so don't like getting her hair done.

"She sat in that chair for two hours and 30 minutes for this to be what's in her head."

She paid for the service because "I don't need to be fighting this woman in her salon. You have to pay for the service and then request a refund. That's just how it goes."

Ashley texted and asked for a full refund because the style was completely different than what she asked for - and now her daughter could be stuck with this hairstyle for her graduation.

There were critics on social media who were very concerned that Holly was left at the salon all alone, but others said this was a common practice for mothers.

A critic commented, "All these people saying they leaving their kids. Huh!!! I’ve never until they were preteens with a cell phone in hand."

Another wrote, "Ok, I like Ashley, however, never get comfortable enough to leave your baby unattended ANYWHERE."

"I feel like Holly is too young to be left alone… literally anything could happen. Poor baby," added a third.

One person defended Ashley and said, "Little black girls have been left at the hair studio for generations. I don't think this one is that deep."

Someone also said, "Yeah this would piss me off. And yeah dropping your daughter off to the salon is normal where I’m from."

In late May, Ashley posed with her younger sister Autumn Rose and Holly for a sweet elementary school graduation photo.

The Teen Mom 2 star's mother Tea took to her Instagram feed to share several photos of the special day.

In the first couple of pics, the little girl posed in front of her school wearing a long pink maxi dress, holding her diploma.

In a third snap, Ashley helped her little sister apply lip gloss before they all grouped together for a family photo.

Autumn was joined by her father, her older sister, and Holly in the next photo.

Fans flooded the comments with their praise for the young student, and many claimed she look almost identical to her older sister.

"She has her sis whole face," one gushed, while a second agreed: "She looks like her big sis Ashley, AMEN."

A third commented: "I swear Ashley and her sister are twins! BEAUTIFUL! CONGRATS too."

"She is her sister's twin. Too cute. Congratulations," a fourth remarked.
