Houston hair stylist Kenny Slack went viral on TikTok after sharing an uncomfortable experience at Kansas City International Airport, where Southwest Airlines employees allegedly tried to force him into buying an extra seat. Slack is a veteran stylist of 19 years and an educator for a global hair-color company, and he flies constantly for work as a priority flyer.
He had just finished working with hair stylists in Manhattan, Kansas, and was heading back home to Houston. According to The Kansas City Star, the incident happened before 7:00 AM on March 11. Slack had already pre-tagged his bag at a kiosk and was standing in the priority check-in line when he handed his luggage to a Southwest employee.
