A 13 year old boy's mother made as appointment for him to have his hair cut at a shoppe at 4pm.
He arrived with his dad and was asked to wait in an adjoining room because a Muslim woman was having her hair cut and eyebrows waxed. She could not let an adult male see her without a headdress. The salon thought she meant any male and so the father and youth sat in the room while she was being looked after.
She later explained the boy could have seen her. A great deal of time passed and the salon gave the boy a free haircut.
