Shwan Kadir, 49, sparked a major backlash when he put up the controversial sign on his price list at the Ranya unisex salon in Sutton, south London, which he has owned for 17 years. After a picture of the sign went viral, he taped over it and claimed it had all been a misunderstanding. He admitted he did charge an extra £2 if the cut went over an hour with all people being charged the same, and said he didn't understand what 'special needs' meant. Speaking to MailOnline Mr Kadir, who lives in Sutton with his three children, said his business does not discriminate. The barber said: 'It's all a misunderstanding. We do not discriminate against anyone. Everyone is always charged the same. It was a translation error.
