JCPenney; "We Don't Do African-American Hair"



All an African-American woman wanted was her hair dyed at
JCPenney's Hair Salon in a Downey, California. mall.  At AOL Blackvoices.com
 Hair Apparent writer Hayat Mohamad explains how a Sister was denied
a dye job.

She's suing JCPenney and has hired high-powered attorney Gloria Allred
to set JCPenney straight.

The sister regularly wears wigs and wanted her gray-haired temples colored
to match the wig.

    My problem is why did the sister feel she had to go to jc penney? Why didnt she go to a black beauty shop to support our businesses. At least we do know how to do our own hair!

    Support a black business, please. Don't you know white folks ice is colder? People like this woman will stand in a line for 2 hours just to get her hair done, as long as it isn't a black salon.

    Point Blank if you call yourself a Hair Dresser or A Hair Stylist you should know how to do all types of hair regardless of color.
    If you can't do everyones Hair then don't claim these Titles.
    If it said hair salon well you do hair right?
    Also at other JCPenny's in different States they do everyones hair, but the ones that do not do African American hair Upgrade! Hell even Wal-Mart has salons in them that Do All Types of Hair .. So Why can't JCpenny Upgrade all of their salons.

    It's okay to talk about birth, okay - then menstruation. I first started my advocacy for women's health in the field of reproductive freedom, and the next stage would be bringing menopause out of the closet.
