Toronto Muslims: Why can’t you just open your own damn hair salons?

September 15, 2008 By admin

Or maybe just stop being so weird. Or, I dunno, move to a Muslim country.

I guess they’d rather bitch and moan and play the victim than just do something.

Like many who wear the hijab, Chowdhury couldn’t find a high-end salon that could give her the privacy she requires as a conservative Muslim and the stylish haircut she wants as a young, modern woman.

“It shouldn’t be this hard for a Muslim woman in Toronto to get a good hair cut,” says Chowdhury of her years of searching for a salon, from Yorkville to Markham. “We just want a place where we feel normal, and can get our money’s worth.”

Instead, she and many others across the city have accumulated a war chest of hijabi horror stories – tales of having men walk in on them, of being shunted into basements and backrooms, of mediocre haircuts or worse, and of being forced to pay a premium for even this accommodation.

From the comments:

Do Muslim women realize that the majority of men working in hair salons are gay and therefore uninterested in YOU, women, sexually?
