1 /5 Robert Corser: I visited The Beauty Lounge Geelong today hoping to book a facial or some skin treatment, but I was flatly refused service because Iâm a man. The employee informed me they donât offer any services for menâno explanation, no apology, just a blunt âno.â Itâs 2025, and I canât believe a business would still openly discriminate based on gender. I wasnât asking for anything unusual, just a standard skin treatment they advertise to others. The lack of inclusivity is shocking, and it left me feeling unwelcome and dismissed. If theyâre going to exclude half the population, they should at least make it clear on their website or signage so people donât waste their time. Iâll be taking my money elsewhereâsomewhere that values all customers equally.
