Salon Owner Broke After Being Sued for ‘Hurt Feelings’ by Muslim Stylist With Head Scarf
A hair salon owner in London claims her business was driven to the brink of ruin after she was ordered to pay $7,800 to a Muslim woman who claimed her feelings were hurt after she was not hired because she wouldn’t show her hair at work, The Daily Mail reported Wednesday.
Wedge salon owner Sarah Desrosiers requires employees to showcase different looks for clients, as her shop specializes in alternative cuts and colors. Bushra Noah, 19, who made it clear during her interview that she would not remove her head scarf for religious reasons, accused Desrosiers of discrimination.
Now, pardon my female foolishness, but if I can’t see the stylist’s hair, I don’t wanna see the stylist. She got her feelings hurt? Boo freakin’ hoo! Perhaps she should have applied at “Muslim only” salons.
“She is simply someone I met for a job interview, who, for a host of reasons, was not right for the job. I cannot see how she deserves £4,000,” Desrosiers told The Mail. “Because of this, there will be a black mark against my name for the rest of my life. I feel I have not done anything wrong, and this is a terrible price to pay for a meeting that lasted 10 minutes.”
If I was able, I’d be on the plane in no time flat, just to go to get a tiny trim off the top of my head from this lady. Although, to be honest, I don’t think is a salon for ol’ broads like me. Perhaps the fine folks in her area should show her some love, and skip their regular appointments to line up outside her shop?
Noah admitted she had attended 25 interviews and not been chosen for any of them before she met Desrosiers. The extremist Muslim group Hizb ut-Tahrir later admitted it had “advised her.”
And yet, she didn’t sue the other 25 businesses? Why is that? Perhaps this extremist bunch has some sort of vendetta? Hmm…..??
“This has ruined my ambitions,” Noah told The Mail. “Wearing a headscarf is essential to my beliefs.”
Fine. Wear your headscarf, just don’t expect Western women to come flocking to you for hair services. I have to ask….how did she get through beauty school without ever taking off her scarf?
