Barber says he wants to keep his shop ‘strictly as a male barbershop.’
Just a few months after returning to Canada after living abroad, Lindsay Petley-Ragan decided to move to Squamish.
"I went in with very high expectations that I could probably just sit down and get my hair cut right there," they said. "I was just shocked when he had no hesitation at all. He said, 'No you can't get your hair cut here.'"Petley-Ragan took their business elsewhere, but was uneasy about what happened.
Bortolotto offered to Petley-Ragan that if they could not find another place that would cut their hair, then he would cut their hair. Overall, however, Bortolotto insisted that he did not want to cut women's hair. Greg Robins, the executive director of the BeautyCouncil, said that he was unsure if the salons and barbershops that are geared toward specific genders have had the time to fully adjust.
“We have been having ongoing conversations with local businesses, the District of Squamish and our community of allies. We acknowledge that information is available, but understanding ‘what to do’ can be confusing,” said the statement. “We encourage people to try. If you're going to make a mistake, make a mistake by including someone and making space for them to join.”
