No Treatment for pregnant woman at Cherie
I've just been turned away from Cherie on Green Lanes for a leg wax because they don't wax pregnant women.
There is absolutely no health and safety reason for this, and when challenged the woman in charge simply said it was her decision.
I walked away feeling a bit humiliated but thought I'd let others know so they can avoid the same experience.

That's Chef's place. I imagine he'd be horrified to hear of your experience. My mate from school back in NZ has made a career out of studying this kind of thing (discrimination against pregnant women etc), google Professor Robbie Sutton.

Thanks John. I was really surprised to be told to go elsewhere, I had a great haircut there on Monday and thought I'd become a regular. This experience has totally put me off.

I think you'll find it's for your own benefit - skin becomes much more sensitive during pregnancy so it's not advisable.... the hormones affect all sorts of things - you can't get your hair permed either....

It's a personal choice though isn't it? I am willing to accept the pain. I appreciate you are probably just playing devil's advocate but I would rather live in a world where I have a choice vs one where others limit my choices for me.

Also try Heena beauty in Wood Green shopping city. I went to the one in the market Hall and Pinky was really good with me and I am pregnant.

When a customer is paying (a tautology in itself), she decides what is in her best interests, Antoinette.

Not always true....

Just Googling this reveals that this is not uncommon practice and it may even reflect well on the establishment which is concerned about adverse effects on their customers. Not really fair to make accusations under those circumstances I think.....

Googling medically backed research I presume?
