TYT: Barbershop Fined For Refusing To Cut Woman’s Hair



A barbershop in Pennsylvania has been fined $750 for refusing to serve a female patron. This barbershop prides itself on being a place where men can get together, get their hair cut, watch sports, and not have to worry about women in the environment. Unfortunately, there was one woman upset by this when she made and appointment for herself and her boyfriend and then the barbershop turned her away because they simply do not service women.

A Pennsylvania barbershop has been penalized for defending the sanctity of bro time: after denying a woman a haircut, they were fined $750.

The “high end Gentleman’s” hair cuttery is called Barbiere because French is the language of strong men. It advertises its brofferings as such:

Barbiere is a high end Gentleman’s Barber Shop located in the heart of Washington Pennsylvania. We bring you a level of comfort and intimacy that is simply unattainable in any chain salon. At Barbiere, we strive to keep traditional barbering techniques alive in todays busy world. Sit back and relax and watch sports in one of our overstuffed leather chairs and enjoy a complimentary beverage or one of our alcoholic selections. You may even find yourself lost in a great book or in todays [sic] newspaper.

The results may not be up to her standards. I am interested in hearing other opinions.
