It is actually an interesting question. Would it be a fair defence to say that they have to allow different average time for WC&BD for boys & girls, hence the differential timing & pricing? Or even if there is an average difference, should the boys pay more per minute (on average) than the girls, so that the total price is the same, irrespective of the time taken? (This is obviously making the assumption that boys' & girls' WC&BW do take different average times.)
There is no legal defence. It's really that simple.
It may be that the time taken on average to beautify a women is longer than a man, but the pricing can't be based on protected characteristics. It needs to be based on the services performed
It's very clear which is why I'm stunned 15 years on it's still a thing.
