Biller & Kimble, LLC has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of hairstylists who worked for Lady Jane’s Haircuts for Men nationwide (other than in Ohio). The named plaintiffs worked as hairstylists for Lady Jane’s in Florida, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Their lawsuit claims that they were improperly characterized as independent contractors and that because Lady Jane’s controlled numerous aspects of their working conditions, they were actually “employees.” Based on their claims that they were “employees,” they claim they were entitled to receive (among other things) minimum wage and overtime wages.
Because the plaintiffs allege that Lady Jane’s controlled the working conditions of all of their hairstylists, the plaintiffs seek to recover lost wages for not only themselves, but all other hairstylists in nationwide (other than in Ohio) who decide to “opt-in” to the case.
The plaintiffs asserts that Lady Jane’s operates multiple salons in multiple other states, including Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Since 2019, Biller & Kimble has helped tens of thousands of employees recover over $30 million asserting minimum wage claims all across the country. Learn more about our past cases here: Victories.
