Stylists beware! First choice haircutters fired me illegally on 1/18. I was hired as a stylist but was having vision problems from an injury 2 yrs ago that makes me see double sometimes. I told the manager for several days. Yesterday i refused a client and explained my sight was off, she told me "if you cant cut hair, pack your stuff!" i even offered to take time off, get to see an opthalomologist, get corrective lenses and then return to work. I feel i was denied the right of "reasonable accommodations for a physical disability." meaning being allowed to take the time off so i could get my eyesight addressed. I guess i should have taken the client and risk doing an inferior job on him due to my vision! Manager had a few complaints, thats when i told her i need to see a dr before taking more haircuts. Please think twice before working for first choice or any of the chains owned by regis corporation.
