She was definitely out to bust balls , there's no point in denying that.

With that said I think they should have given her the cut , it's what they specialize in and I don't see the big deal. It should be about the type of service they provide not the customer's gender, if a woman wants a haircut that is typically for men then so be it.

I think this whole thing is petty on both her and the shop's account. She could have went a block and got her haircut , they could have just served her.
It's really not that easy. The haircut she wanted is not an easy cut to do, and depending on the age of the barber at the 'old school barbershop' he likely cannot do this cut. This is a modern cut, and many barbershops do nothing but fades/flat tops.

You aren't going to get a 70 year old barber doing this haircut. Unless he's incredibly hip, he hasn't kept up with the skills to make this haircut happen. The hard part depends on a very carefully straight-razored parting, a haircut that can very easily be ruined in an instant if the barber/stylist doing the cut doesn't know exactly what they're doing.

Seriously, this is a very difficult haircut to do, it is entirely possible that if she wanted this specific haircut, she would've wanted to go to this specific shop to achieve it. Barber shops that do cuts like the hard part and various pompadours and things like that, which are extremely popular right now, are few and far between. This is not your basic clipper fade that any stylist/barber can handle.
