A Michigan hair salon is facing a discrimination charge over a social media post earlier this year that declared transgender customers were “not welcome” and instead should “seek services at a local pet groomer.”

In the charge filed on Wednesday, the state’s Department of Civil Rights claimed a July Facebook post made by Traverse City’s Studio 8 Hair Lab owner Christine Geiger violated the state’s civil rights act by unlawfully discriminating against three claimants.

“If a human identifies as anything other than a man/woman please seek services at a local pet groomer. You are not welcome at this salon. Period,” the post read.

“Should you request to have a particular pronoun used, please note we may simply refer to you as ‘hey you.’ Regardless of MI HB 4744,” the post further stated, referring to the code for a Michigan hate crime law.

Just F up the haircut and say, oops, no charge.

Mohawks are back in stile.

Maybe if we focused LESS on 'crimes' that hurt people's feeling AND MORE on crimes like car jacking, rape, assault theft etc we could stop the erosion of our country into a third world totalitarian hellhole.

If they said that to a group of Jews they would be applauded. That is where we are in America right now.

Rumor has it there are some barbers that will treat difficult clients.
