I've had my hair done by a non-black at a non-black salon before. Now granted, it wasn't at a "chain non-black salon" (ie JC Penney, Super Cuts, etc.) but it was the salon of a nationally known stylist who had done black hair before.
From conversations with other non-blacks that went there, I know that he didn't overcharge me - he's just expensive all around.
Now I have heard of JC Penney salon charging blacks more. This happened to my sister when she went there for a wash/style (her hair was relaxed) and they charged her $65 but the sign said that the same service was on sale for $40.
