You can file a complaint about retail service establishments that charge men and women different prices for the same service. 

Prices for services cannot be based on gender, although price lists may include other cost differences. For example, a dry cleaner cannot charge prices for men's shirts and women's shirts, but may post prices based on physical differences between shirts, such as irregular sizes or other physical characteristics like sequins, ruffles, or fancy buttons.

Report a business for gender pricing:
