A teal candidate has been banned for life from her local hairdresser after making a sexualised comment to a 19-year-old staff member.

Nicolette Boele, the independent challenger for the Liberal-held seat of Bradfield, was banned from the Envy Room salon in Gordon, north west of Sydney, after she allegedly told a 19-year-old female staff member who had washed her hair: ‘That was amazing – and I didn’t even have sex with you’.

A staff member at the salon told Daily Mail Australia that Ms Boele had been banned ‘indefinitely’.

‘She (the staff member) was in shock and quite upset afterwards,’ the staff member added.

‘We wrote to her (Ms Boele) last week to tell her that we will no longer have her here.’ 

On Tuesday morning Ms Boele told the Ben Fordham show on 2GB, who first broke the story, it was a ‘poor attempt at humour and I’ve apologised’.

‘Everyone deserves to feel respected in their workplace and I will do better.’

Daily Mail Australia has approached Ms Boele for further comment.  

More to come.
