Salon Ordered to Pay for Gender-Neutral Booking

Montreal hair salon, Station Ten, ordered to pay $500 for gender-neutral booking system. The salon, which charges by the minute, plans to appeal. The issue arose when a non-binary customer was asked to choose between male or female haircuts online. The salon argues its about service types, not gender identity, but the customer sees it as a sexist practice. The case has sparked debate on pricing haircuts based on length and complexity instead.
