Ilona Maher was praised for being a “presence of safety for other women” after nail salon staff extended her appointment when a suspicious man entered the salon. Taking to her Instagram page on Sunday (October 27), the American rugby player recalled the moment she helped a female-run business feel safer.
“I went and got a pedicure and I went there about an hour [or] an hour and a half before they closed so I was one of the last customers to be in there,” the 28-year-old athlete said in a Reel on Instagram.
Ilona continued: “As I was in there, employees were leaving [and] all the customers were gone. It was just me and two ladies.”
