This is from the Star-Phoenix article linked in the OP:
Quote:
After two years of operating and building a word of mouth reputation in Regina, the barbershop attracted the interest of Evie Ruddy, who told media she requested a "hard part" traditional men's haircut, but was refused.
Her rejection prompted about a dozen women to call the shop for appointments in protest.
"(Ruddy) has been wronged," Carter said.
"If she was coming in asking for what is traditionally known as a more feminine haircut, I think they would have more rationale (because) that's not the service they provide. But she was asking for a service that they actually promote."
