To be narked at a barber for refusing to trim dd hair

[Macdog]

I went into an empty barber's shop to ask if he could trim dd (3) hair.

I was told 'we don't do ladies'

Bit peeved by his attitude TBH

AIBU??

yes, you are

yes of course YABU as its his choice you can't demand

YABU

yabu

Yesterday my hairdresser refused to give me a colonic irrigation - should I be annoyed?

I'd be narked too. Not enough to post in AIBU with this lot though.

It wouldn't have taken long and the place was empty. I'd have though most barbers wouldn't have minded in that situation.

No nametaken, you should be flipping grateful!

She's not a lady though, she's 3.

I don't see the difference between a toddler boy's and toddler girl's hair

That is what's confusing me

Don't know if it's true but the barber I take ds to says he's only insured to cut mens/boys hair.

Well that makes a sort of sense.

Wish he's told me that instead of being 'snippy'

Oh boom boom Macdog! Admit it, you only made up started this thread just so you could make that cheap joke

Men's hair is easier to cut than women's. He therefor must be underqualified and not able to do anything unpredictable.

LOL

I took my youngest in to a barbers to get his hair cut and mentioned that dd wanted her fringe doing so he cut it. They were sooooo lovely with the kids and didn't charge for dd.

I am horrified at all the cutting comments on here!

You should have told the barber she was a boy, who liked wearing pink dresses.

He's a git anyway!

She's booked in to PROPER multitasking hairdresser tomorrow for a new 'do

Is it legal to refuse to serve someone on the basis of their sex?

No it isn't legal .I think I am right in saying there have been court cases pertaining to this and also to unisex salons who charge different prices for the same cut to a man and a woman

What Goober said.

but if it's not legal katiestar how come they have can have those "curves" women only gyms? i thought there were caveats in place so you could have certain gender specific businesses.

Am I the only one loling at "no we don't do ladies". She's only 3.

Why would he sit in an empty barbershop turning away paying customers? Perhaps it's not a real barbershop?

I know Fimbo. my chin hit deck at that one
I could see the point if I wanted her to have an ultra girly/curly/up do, but all I wanted was a quick chop to get the ends tidied up a bit.

Could tell he 'doesn't do ladies', though - mair mince than the butcher's shop

hmm Toddlerama, maybe it's a front for a super secret spy network
