Idiots: Denmark's "board of equality" rules gender price differrentials for haircuts illegal

Women fed up with forking out more cash in the hair salon than men may have cause to complain.

Denmark's board of equality ruled last month that price differences between men's and women's haircuts were illegal.

The board ordered a salon that charged 100 crowns more for women's haircuts than men's to pay a fine of 2500 crowns.

The decision has sparked a discussion on gender equality over the price of a haircut.

In Christchurch, the Carlton Hair Corporation charged $25 more for a woman's haircut than a man's.

Hairdresser Cassie Law said there were "very good reasons" for the price difference.

"A man's haircut generally takes between 15 and 20 minutes. It's a lot more basic, with a quick wash and cut, " she said.

"With a woman's haircut, you have to blow-dry it and generally do more styling and treatments. It takes a lot longer and is more technically difficult."

Law said that if a woman came in with "short hair styled like a man's" she would drop the price.

"I would probably use common sense and revise the price,'' she said.

''It would probably be about $10 more than a man's haircut because it still requires more styling and time, but it wouldn't be as much as the usual price for a woman's haircut."
