Theres a big possibility that what she said has been taken out of context. Dont confront until you are sure she was putting you down.

 Please dont react to this. Unless someone tell you something DIRECTLY, never react to it. Even if its true, she hasn't told anything to you or your daughter. Dont ever react to what you hear from others.
Very often conversations take on a completely opposite colour when they change hands so frequently. She might have said it in another way, which was maybe taken differently by your hair dresser, who in turn, put it to you in a completely different way. Leave it at that.
There's a place for mindless gossip. Out of the mind!Keep it there!!
