I called on a Saturday morning for a haircut for my son. We got an appointment for later in the day and were told the cost was £22. When we arrived, my daughter saw it was a nice salon and also wanted a haircut. So we asked for a haircut for her, too, and they said it would be no problem to cut her hair right after.
When the stylist came by (almost 15 minutes late), we were told that they usually charge full price on Saturdays, but since we were misinformed, he would honor the price for the one, but would charge full price for the second. Since my son really didn't want his hair cut anyway, and there was a place just down the block that charges only £8.50, we decided our daughter only would get the haircut. To which we were told that it would be £27 for her, not £22. I showed him both of their hair, how my son's is complicated and layered, but my daughters is just a straight trim right across, with no layers at all. But no, apparently for the reason that she doesn't have a penis, and nothing to do with the hair or the cut, they were going to charge significantly more for her. This is absolutely disgusting and is sexism at its "finest." I will not patronize sexist establishments like this and I hope you do not, either. read more
