A hair salon owner in London claims her business was driven to the brink of ruin after she was ordered to pay $7,800 to a Muslim woman who claimed her feelings were hurt after she was not hired because she wouldn’t show her hair at work, The Daily Mail reported Wednesday.
Wedge salon owner Sarah Desrosiers requires employees to showcase different looks for clients, as her shop specializes in alternative cuts and colors. Bushra Noah, 19, who made it clear during her interview that she would not remove her head scarf for religious reasons, accused Desrosiers of discrimination.
Desrosiers, 32, was ordered to pay Noah $7,800 for indirect discrimination by way of “injury to feelings,” The Mail reported.

Injury to feelings. Attention all geeks: You can now sue the cheerleaders who made fun of you in front of everyone when you asked her to the high school dance. Your feelings were hurt, you deserve compensation.
