She Point Beauty Studio, a salon run by women of Sikh faith, says it was approached by Yaniv seeking a Brazilian bikini wax and leg waxing
In a media release, the Centre for Constitutional Freedoms says it has been retained to defend another beauty salon that has had a suit launched against it by Jessica Yaniv, the transgender activist who previously sued B.C. salons because they refused to wax her.
She “targeted small businesses, manufactured the conditions for a human rights complaint, and then leveraged that complaint to pursue a financial settlement from parties who were unsophisticated and unlikely to mount a proper defence,” the ruling read. The studio turned Yaniv down, saying it only served females, and further rejected her request because of “religious, cultural and safety reasons.” The salon was not previously associated with Yaniv’s earlier complaints.
