Biller & Kimble, LLC has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of a hairstylist who worked for Lady Jane’s Haircuts for Men in Ohio. The plaintiff worked as a hairstylist for Lady Jane’s in Ohio and Florida. Her lawsuit claims that she was improperly characterized as an independent contractor and that because Lady Jane’s controlled numerous aspects of her working conditions, she was actually an “employee.” Based on her claim that she was an “employee,” she claims she was entitled to receive (among other things) minimum wage and overtime wages.
Because the plaintiff alleges that Lady Jane’s controlled the working conditions of all of their hairstylists in Ohio, she seeks to recover lost wages for not only herself, but all other hairstylists in Ohio who decide to “opt-in” to the case.
The plaintiff asserts that Lady Jane’s operates multiple salons in Ohio and in multiple other states, including Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, 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.
