Is it racist?

My friend and I were having a discussion about places to get our nails done. 
She made a comment about wanting to find a place where it's mostly white people because anytime she goes to a nail salon where it's owned and has workers of different ethnicities, she can't understand them, which leads to her nails being messed up. 
I'm torn because to me, refusing to go somewhere solely because of the race of workers is racism. But I can somewhat see her side . 
Thoughts?
