Hairdresser Is Sued for Refusing to Hire Woman; Required Woman to Remove Headscarf at Her Job

A British Muslim woman -- who insists on wearing her headscarf at work -- is suing the owner of a London beauty salon for refusing to allow her to work while wearing it, the Europe News website reports today (October 26, 2011).

Sarah Desrosiers, 32, said she turned down Bushra Noah, 19, as a junior stylist to maintain the image of her salon, which specializes in "urban, funky" cuts.

Desrosiers told Noah that she needed her staff to display their hairstyles to the public.

Noah is suing Desrosiers for more than 15,000 pounds for injury to her feelings, plus an unspecified sum for lost earnings.
