Protest: A female barber who appeared on this year's season of Married At First Sight has lost her job for refusing to get the Covid-19 vaccine. Jo Todd (pictured) said on Thursday she was no longer working at her usual barbershop in Melbourne after being told to get the jab or quit 'I never thought that I would lose my job over a vaccine, but the positive thing is that I've set up my own barber space,' Todd said in a video posted to Instagram. 'I'm jumping on here to reach out to all my regular clients and to the mums, with the kids, haircuts that I used to do in Karingal. 'I won't be going back to that shop anymore, so anyone that I used to cut, or anyone who isn't getting the vaccine, please hit me up and I'll be happy to cut your hair.' Todd explained that despite the new government rules, she is willing to cut anybody's hair regardless of their vaccination status. 'I'll be happy to cut your hair': The mother-of-two shared the news on her Instagram account on Thursday, before inviting her existing customers to visit her at her new salon 'I just think we should have a choice and not lose jobs over not having a choice,' she told Daily Mail Australia on Thursday, when approached for comment 'I am happy to take the vaccinated or the un-vaccinated,' she said. Todd, who shares sons, Ryder, 11, and Makai, four, with her ex husband, told Daily Mail Australia on Thursday: 'I'm not anti-vax, I just think we should have a choice and not lose jobs over not having a choice.' It comes after Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced that hair salons can reopen for the fully vaccinated once the 70 per cent vaccination target is reached. It's not fair!
