Are you people nuts? This attention seeking mother put the baby at danger when she decided to feed it while getting a hair cut. What if the baby ingested some hair or hair dressing chemicals? this selfish woman will probs sue if that happened. At the end of the day for OH&S reasons the hairdressers did the right thing by leaving the woman alone to feed her baby. Its not the hairdressers fault that this woman stormed off then abused their staff over the phone. Hairdressers deserve to go to work without getting abusive calls and its totally fair that this angry, selfish attention seeking woman was banned form this store. Think before you review this store you do-gooders.

A young Melbourne mum has been left 'embarrassed and humiliated' after she was refused service at a hair salon for breast feeding her baby. Cassie Hanlin, 38, began feeding her five-month-old daughter, Natasha, while getting a haircut at Tadaro Hairdressing in Eltham, because she was hungry and had started to cry. She had taken care to cover herself up, but Cassie said she was told the hairdresser could not continue with the cut until she had finished feeding her baby due to privacy reasons. "I started to breast feed her, and the next thing I know the hairdresser had walked away," she said. "After 25 minutes, another hairdresser came up to me to tell me that the hairdresser who initially began cutting my hair couldn't cut my hair anymore because she had another client."The hairdresser indicated to me that as long as I was feeding they couldn't cut my hair. They didn't give me a reason." "I got the impression that because I was breast feeding her that they didn't want to cut my hair or want anything to do with me." Shocked and stunned by the incident, Cassie said she decided to leave the salon with mid cut.Cassie said her family called the salon to make a complaint the following day, but has had no apology. Instead, Cassie said the salon manager left an answerphone message to say she was no longer welcome at the salon. "They have since left messages on my phone saying you are never welcome in the salon again. It's private property, and if I took it any further they were going to sue me," she said. "It's a natural thing to do is breast feed your baby. She was hungry and she was crying, and the best way to stop a baby crying is to give her a feed." It is illegal to discriminate against a woman for breast feeding in public in Victoria. A staff member claims the salon is baby-friendly and has blamed the incident on miscommunication. "I felt humiliated when I had to walk out of the hairdressing salon with wet hair and my hair semi-cut. It was quite distressing."

I love this salon, relaxed feel great staff and most importantly I got a great haircut.

Just saw the news story. I truly hope that everyone votes with their feet and never visits your salon. The voicemail from the owner left on that ladies phone was disgusting.

you should hide .... your store might get burnt down and you and your staff bashed .
