But the Democratic House spokeswoman called the Monday visit a “facility” and said the salon owed her an apology for misrepresenting the city’s health care contracts.

“I take the responsibility for taking the word of a neighborhood salon I’ve been to many times over the years and that when they said … we are able to accommodate people one by one and that we can pinpoint Until then, I trusted it, “Pelosi told reporters on Wednesday. “It turned out to be a setup.”

“I take responsibility for falling in love with a setup,” she said.

An attorney for the man who did her hair also said Pelosi was apparently set up.

Matthew Soleimanpour said his client had received permission from the salon owner the day before to make the appointment.

During that phone call, the owner, Erica Kious, “made several critical and very timely comments on Speaker Pelosi,” Soleimanpour said in a statement.

“It appears that Ms. Kious is promoting a Spokesman Pelosi facility for her own futile endeavors,” the statement said.

WATCH: Will Pelosi’s salon visit influence the choice? Political insider weighs

Pelosi faces severe setbacks after Fox News Channel broadcast surveillance videos from the salon showing her walking around the salon with wet hair and a mask around her neck rather than on her face. In the clip, a masked stylist follows her.

Critics, including President Donald Trump, called her a hypocrite and asked why she wasn’t aware of the coronavirus rules in her hometown.

Kious, owner of ESalon SF in upscale Cow Hollow, told Fox News that she is renting chairs to stylists, and one of them told her in advance that Pelosi wanted to wash and blow dry herself. California salon guidelines vary by state, but strict San Francisco officials have not yet allowed indoor salons to open.

Kious said she viewed Pelosi as a “slap in the face” for struggling business owners.

However, in his statement, Soleimanpour said that photos and other information show that Kious had performed maskless indoor services for at least April and that she had also encouraged “and almost forced stylists” to work.

Kious did not respond to repeated requests for comment from The Associated Press.

Violations of the health order can result in a fine, imprisonment, or both. But San Francisco has stressed enforcement education and has been reluctant to punish businesses and individuals.

Pelosi said Wednesday she would not answer any more questions about the visit and at one point asked if reporters had any questions “about the fact that people are dying,” referring to the HEROES Act legislation they are on Called press conference.

A reporter asked why she wasn’t wearing a mask in the short clip.

“I just got my hair washed. I don’t wear a mask when I wash my hair. Do you wear a mask when you wash your hair? I always have a mask,” said Pelosi.
