A hairdressing salon is being sued for refusing to hire a Muslim woman in a headscarf?
Bushra Noah, a devout Muslim, was turned down for a job by the Wedge salon in Kings Cross. She is suing the salon for religious discrimination. Salon owner Sarah Desrosiers says she turned down the woman to maintain the image of her salon. She is now being sued for 15,000 pounds. Ms Desrosiers says that her stylists are required to show their own hairstyles to maintain the 'urban funky' image. It transpires that Miss Noah, who says she has always wanted to be a hairdresser, has now been rejected 25 times. Does this fact tell you something? Or is she right to sue over the grounds she is using? Miss Desrosiers did ask her if she was willing to work without the headscarf and she refused, saying it was part of her religion. Do you think she would have got the job if she had agreed to remove it whilst working?
