A teenager says her supervisor at Chick-fil-A sent her home for having an “unnatural” hair color: Blond.
According to Williams and her mother Nina Burch, the teen wears her “brownish-blond” or “dark blond” hair in box braids, which Autumn had when she attended her company’s orientation session approximately two months ago. During that session, she says, the only guidance she heard about hair was that it had to be pulled back from her face, which she said is reasonable.
“She said, ‘Our supervisor drove by yesterday and noticed blond in your hair and since blond is an unnatural color to you, we have to ask you to take the blond out of your hair and then come back when there’s none,’” says Williams. Williams called her mom Nina Burch to ask for a ride home; when Burch arrived, she says she asked for an explanation from the manager, who shared the supervisor’s phone number. According to Burch, the supervisor refused to elaborate on the call. Autumn says when she got on the phone, he said, “We already had a conversation about your hair. If there’s any confusion, you can refer to the handbook.”“Hairstyles must be neat and professional in appearance.
Williams says that on August 1, the store owner invited her back to work, should she choose to return. “He was apologetic, saying this shouldn’t have happened,” she says.
