Hair Chop

Beware if having your hair cut in the UK! Unlike in Australia, it's really common for hairdressers to have no training at all. If you can hold a pair of scissors, you can get a job as a hairdresser, especially at one of the cheap chains. The first time I had my hair cut here, the woman divided it into two bunches and sawed off the ends of each one. Then she tried to even them up. And tried. And tried. To no avail. Today I am trying a new salon, and I've now wised up to request a senior stylist, which means they might at least have cut someone else's hair before having a go at mine!

Sounds hair-raising. My hair dresser has gone missing. He's 87, Italian guy. He's gone missing twice before, but eventually turned up again. Now he's gone missing for a third time and I'm not holding out much hope for his return. I'm hoping that he's decided to retire - but he could well be pushing up daisies.

So now I'm going to this place called 'the hair hut'. Price is $14.00. Only problem is the early twenties girl who does my hair is really surly. But she does a great job.

I like the 'Senior Stylist' request. They'll be thinking, Who's that pushy Australian, and Who does she think she is!!
