Afghanistan Veteran Turned Away At Barbershop Over Religious Objection


It's funny when they make up their deeply held religious beliefs on the fly. Story out of Rancho Cucamonga, California:

When Kendal Oliver booked an appointment at a Southern California barbershop to have his hair cut, the Army veteran who served six years in Afghanistan didn't expect to be turned away.

Oliver, who said he identifies as "more of a man than a woman, was refused service by The Barbershop in Rancho Cucamonga.

"I have religious convictions that prevent me from cutting women's hair," said owner Richard Hernandez.

NBC4 contacted the Church of God, and there are several variations across the country.  Hernandez's church in Upland did not return NBC4's calls, however the Church of God in Garden Grove did return calls and said there was no doctrine that does not allow a man to cut a woman's hair in their church. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
