I'm not buying it. Barbershops can always say they specialize in men's cuts and don't have the required expertise to perform typical women's cuts, instead referring clients who want those styles to a salon that is better suited for it. It's not like Bruno the Barber is going to magically turn into Wanda the Hairdresser if he also cuts women's hair using the exact same techniques he already uses on his male clientele.
