Hairdressing Salons will have to change their ways!
Would you let someone cut your hair wearing a baseball cap?
So you go for a job interview. It’s for a salon. You wear a headscarf. Salon’s don’t like employees covering up their hair. It’s a job about HAIR, what do you expect?
Sue the salon? Only in this politically correct sh*t hole…
The owner of a hair salon is being sued for religious discrimination for refusing to hire a Muslim woman who wears a headscarf.
Sarah Desrosiers, 32, says she turned down Bushra Noah as a junior stylist to maintain the image of her salon, which specialises in “urban, funky” cuts.
She told Miss Noah, 19, she needed her staff to display their hairstyles to the public.
That’s to be expected yes? Beliefs or no beliefs. By the way, it might be just me, but I swear whenever these stories run about someone suing a school or job because of their beliefs, it’s being done by a woman?
Miss Noah, who has been rejected for 25 different hairdressing jobs after interviews, is suing Miss Desrosiers for more than 15,000 for injury to her feelings plus an unspecified sum for lost earnings.
Suing for hurt feelings? Only a frikkin woman would think about suing for that, and only in this pathetic joke of a legal system would it be heard.
‘Oh my feelings are hurt, I’m running to the government to tell on you!’
Miss Desrosiers, who set up the Wedge salon in King’s Cross, North London, 18 months ago, says she faces financial ruin if she loses the case.
She denies any discrimination and insists it is an “absolutely basic” job requirement that cus-Yesterday, Miss Desrosier said: “When a potential client walks past on the street, they look into a salon at the stylists to get an impression of what haircut they are going to get there.
This makes perfect sense to me.
“If an employee were wearing a baseball cap or cowboy hat I would ask them to remove it at work.
“It has nothing to do with religion. But I now feel like I have been branded a racist. My name is being dragged through the mud.”
She went on: “This girl is suing me for more than I earn in a year.
Why is this allowed?
“On the phone, Sarah sounded very keen on me because of my experience and qualifications. I sent her my CV and she invited me in a few days later for a trial day.
“But when I got there, she looked at me in shock. She started making excuses about wanting someone who lived locally but I knew it was my headscarf.
“She said, ‘You really should have told me that you wear a headscarf’. She asked if I wore it all the time and I said, ‘Yes’. She asked if I would take it off for work and I said, ‘No’.
“Wearing a headscarf is very important in my religion and is non-negotiable. It is about showing your modest side.”
Screw your modest side. That’s your CHOICE. You CHOOSE to follow that religion, that shouldn’t give someone the right to sue others who have their own requirements for their own businesses. I swear only women are doing this, well at least the huge majority! Suing businesses for not catering to their needs.
“Afterwards, I felt so devastated and depressed. It has always been my ambition to be a hairdresser but I have given up now after being rejected 25 times.
So you’ve been rejected 25 times. Why are you surprised you got rejected again? And screw her feelings, she’s not the only only who has been rejected at job interviews. Jobs have requirements. Sometimes you have to compromise on your own preferences for a job (if you want it that much.) It’s a businesses need/ right to have requirements. Maybe if this wasn’t revolving around Islam it wouldn’t get so much attention…
