Berlin Hairdresser Challenges Gender-Based Pricing
In Berlin, a star hairdresser has taken a stand against gender-based pricing. Despite no specific details, the move aims to combat the long-standing practice of charging women more for hairdressing services.
The hairdressing industry is facing rising costs, including rents, materials, and wages. These increased expenses have led to a rise in prices for hairdressing services over the years. Notably, women often bear the brunt of these price hikes, with hair coloring services being particularly expensive. In 2024, women's haircuts are, on average, 4.1% more expensive than men's.
One woman in Berlin recently experienced this disparity firsthand. She was charged 350 euros for a complex hair coloring service, but only 270 euros for a simpler touch-up. This gap in pricing highlights the gender-based pricing issue in the industry. However, some salons are taking steps to address this. Shan Rahimkhan, a renowned hairdresser in Berlin, has introduced gender-neutral pricing based on the effort required for each service, not the client's gender.
The hairdressing industry's rising costs have led to higher prices, with women often paying more than men for the same services. While no specific details are available, at least one Berlin hairdresser is challenging this trend with gender-neutral pricing. This move could set a precedent for the industry, promoting fairness and equality in pricing.
