Woman Angry After Being Denied A “Male” Haircut

Lifestyle July, 12, 2025

The mere thing of getting a haircut shouldn’t be related to gender binarism, but this isn’t the end. Some people still denigrate the preference of those who don’t fit in their perspective. A haircut isn’t supposed to be an issue in this era, but to tell you the truth, it actually is. It is conspicuous when a woman prefers a “male” haircut or if a male chooses to have a “female” haircut.

The same thing happened with a woman who is probably in her 20s and seems to be masculine look. Therefore, she always liked getting a man’s haircut. All these days, she was getting it done at a barbershop that was cheaper and also never pushed her to get things done otherwise.

Since her barber left the place, she had to look for another spot. She took suggestions from one of her male friends to go to a suitable place. On her way to getting a haircut, she was denied the service by the barber. She was looked at as an oddity and the barber refused to get her haircut done as she’s a woman. Although she clearly stated that she wanted a male’s haircut, they insisted she should visit a salon.

After all, it wasn’t okay because she was looked down upon for her proclivity. The disapproval would obviously make anyone infuriated at someone who sees it the other way. She took her shocking incident to her city’s LGBT Facebook page. She posted: “gender non-conforming women, don’t bother with this barber. He doesn’t serve us.” The post went viral which showed that she was backed with what she stood for. But that wasn’t the case with her friend who thinks it is going to impact someone’s small business.

As the post grew to get more support through comments and likes, she was worried if she’s in the wrong. Therefore, the woman asked Redditors to know if she did wrong by shaming the barber. To her surprise, everyone agreed with what she did. It was the barber who shouldn’t have denied his service.

Several opinions inundated and most of them were in favor of her deed. A person apprised that she had left an accurate review of the barber’s unobvious disagreement. Also, another person told that it wasn’t a good business choice he made. It wasn’t the right thing to send back one of his loyal clients. Altogether, he neglected one of his potential customers. He just proved that he is not greatly pleased by his non-conforming clients.

Someone else raised it as an issue of gender discrimination because the barber clearly refrained from doing his work just because a woman asked for a male haircut. Moreover, if he doesn’t want anyone to know about it, he shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. A person wrote: “You know what hurts a small business? Turning away customers.” To sum up, people conceive the barber to be the wrong person in this scenario.
