She can get a men's haircut at any other barber shop. I'm sure they have also cut many of men's haircuts as well.

Speaking as an actual professional with actual understanding of how haircuts work--the 'hard part' haircut that this woman was seeking is 1) extremely popular right now and 2) a very difficult look to achieve and in some places
cannot be done legally by a stylist, only a barber, because straight razor cutting is involved, and at least in Pennsylvania, barbers can use straight razors, stylists legally cannot.
She was looking for a highly specialized service that a barber such as this type would be able to achieve. Again, I agree--had she been looking for a typical feminine haircut/style/etc, this is not the place for her. She was looking for a men's haircut, so she went to a barber who specializes in the men's haircut that she wanted.

As stated above, no she could not have gotten this specific haircut at any unisex shop. Specialized cut which needs specialized skills and tools that only barbers would have. She was unlikely trying to "bust balls" and more likely she looked up information on where best to get a hard part haircut and this barbershop would be the best place to get it.
