Oh, I've heard of that. It's not just the lighter skin; being muscular is (or was) was also looked down upon as being "lower class." Lol.
Personally though, I don't frequent beauty salons, I don't even wear/buy cologne, unless it's a fancy event, like a wedding/funeral. Probably why I haven't seen any of that stuff.
