If your shift pattern means you don't work on Mondays should you get Bank holidays in lieu?

My daughter (only 17) works in a hair salon, there are 3 apprentices and they have to divide the week up for the days they work, the days my daughter doesn't work is a Monday and Saturday. As there are 2 Mondays in May that are bank holidays, I said to her she should be getting the bank holiday in lieu as the other 2 girls are getting those days off, so with 4 bank holidays a year on a Monday the other 2 girls get 4 extra days holiday a year than she is. She spoke to her boss who said she is not entitled to any day in lieu, and because she is off on a Monday it's just tough! It's not her choice not to work on Monday's, that's just how the salon did the shifts so I don't think it's fair that she is losing out, does anyone know the law on this ? Thanks in advance

There are several incorrect responses on this thread mixed in with some good advice

Then you base your own advice on an assumption about Sundays.

Ironic.

Prh is a lawyer. The advice was absolutely sound. He/she backed it up with their workings, so the OP can easily rejig the figures if its actually a 5 day week.
