A 52-year-old Houston woman is filing suit against her former employer after she was fired her for refusing to dye her hair. The woman says she has had grey hair since her 20s and had no interest in dying it.
The plaintiff worked as a branch manager for Capital Title of Texas. When the company was about to move from their location in Katy to one near the Galleria, the 52-year-old's boss asked her to dye her hair and begin wearing fancy jewelry and "younger fancy suits" to fit the new location's image.
Less than a week after refusing to dye her hair, the woman was terminated from her position with the company. Supervisors informed her that her services were no longer necessary, and she was replaced with a younger woman.
