While I am sure she cuts women's hair too, she still tries to keep that away from her professional image.

I'm 100% in agreement that it makes sense for different hairstylists/barbers to specialize in different styles (some of which may be more appropriate for either men or women but not necessarily both) and market their business accordingly, but that's not at all relevant
in this particular case. She wanted a traditional men's style that has recently become popular with women as well. She went to a barbershop that publicly advertises the fact that they do the exact cut she wanted. It's not like she went to this barbershop and demanded they give her a style they have no expertise in, nor did she go to her usual salon (which probably specializes in women's styles) and ask that they give her this men's cut. She went to an appropriate business that sells the exact service she was looking for but had her patronage denied for...who knows why.
