Hooters, a restaurant chain with scantily clad female waitresses, maintained an Image Policy that required waitresses hair
Question:
Hooters, a restaurant chain with scantily clad female waitresses, maintained an “Image Policy” that required waitresses’ hair to be “styled and glamorous,” and not appear “bizarre, outrageous or extreme,” or be colored “more than two-shades in variance” from a natural color. Farryn Johnson, an African American Hooters waitress, decided to put blond highlights in her hair during the summer. She was told by her Hooters manager to take out the highlights because they were not natural to African American women, while white waitresses were allowed to keep similar hairstyles because some white women have that color hair naturally. Has Hooters violated Title VII? Decide.
