A New York Hair Salon Is Under Investigation For Allegedly Discriminating Against Workers With Black Hairstyles |
Posted: February 25, 2019 |
New York City-based salon Sharon Dorram Color at Sally Hershberger is currently under investigation by the city for allegedly discriminating against Black employees with Black hairstyles. A New York Times report revealed damning accounts from former salon employees dating back to 2015 about the business's treatment of natural hair. This report comes a few days after NYC announced hair-based discrimination is banned citywide. The salon allegedly told the former employees that Afros and box-braided hairstyles were not reflective of the business's upscale image. The new law states that unfair treatment against those who wear “natural hair, treated or untreated hairstyles such as locs, cornrows, twists, braids, Bantu knots, fades, Afros and/or the right to keep hair in an uncut or untrimmed state” will no longer be tolerated.
