Faith Jenkins, a former New York City prosecutor, judges real small claims cases in this syndicated courtroom series. "Judge Faith" adds a new twist to the courtroom genre by giving viewers a glimpse into how decisions are made behind the closed doors of a judge's chambers. With her tough, no-nonsense style, Judge Faith tackles everything from legal disputes between neighbors and small claims cases to lawsuits involving messy roommates or friends who have gone sour. On this particular episode of Judge Faith season 2, episode 66: "Hair Salon Showdown", two former friends argue about money and professionalism in the beauty industry.
In this episode, we meet Donna, the owner of a hair salon who is being sued by her former friend and coworker, Tiana. The two had worked together for years, with Tiana as Donna's top stylist. But things went sour quickly when Tiana started to feel like she wasn't being properly compensated for her work. Tiana claims that after years of working for Donna, she was still only making commission, and felt like she was being pushed out of the salon when Donna hired new stylists. She also claims that Donna was stealing clients from her and not treating her with the respect she deserved. So Tiana decided to sue Donna for unpaid wages and damages.
Donna, on the other hand, tells a different story. She says that Tiana was always compensated fairly and was one of the highest paid stylists in the salon. She also states that Tiana was unreliable, often showing up late to work or calling out sick, causing Donna to lose clients. She denies ever stealing clients from Tiana or treating her unfairly. In fact, Donna says she tried to help Tiana by offering her training and opportunities for advancement, but Tiana refused.
As Judge Faith listens to both sides, she tries to get to the bottom of what really happened between these two former friends. She questions their professionalism in the workplace and asks them both to provide evidence of their claims. She also explores the gray areas of their working relationship, such as whether or not Tiana was an independent contractor or an employee of the salon.
