About a
month ago it seemed like every news report was reporting that
hairdressers wouldn't re-open for at least 6 months. ….........And
then all the 'undercover' reports of barbers still working seemed to
pop up. Undercover journalists all over the country seemed to be
visiting barbers who were still operating and who were apparently
charging more than double for their services. These Barbers weren't
using PPE or even face masks and apparently didn't have any extra
cleaning procedures in place. But still people were flocking to
these illicit hair cutting places. Though I have to admit that all
the reports that I saw were only about 'barbers'. I've never seen
any reports of ladies hairdressers operating illegally.
I guess
there could be two reasons for that, in my opinion.
Firstly it
probably only takes about 15 mins max to cut a man's hair. Generally
speaking they are in and out of a barbers before they even have time
to drink a cup of coffee. So................... if barbers are
operating illegally the chances of them being caught out are very
slim. Let's face it................... If they see PC Plod
wandering along the street towards them they can always just ask
their client to leave straight away and would anyone in the street be
any the wiser? If a man was in the middle of a hair cut and walked
out into the street would anyone even notice what his hair looked
like?
Not so a
lady.
So
secondly......................... I think that ladies hairdressers
can't operate undercover in the same way as barbers can because
ladies spend an awful lot more time at the hairdressers than men do.
Can you
imagine going to an illegal operating hairdressers to get your roots
done and two hours into your treatment you have to leave because
someone has spotted PC Plod strolling along the High Street??!! I
think it would be pretty obvious to all concerned,if all of a sudden,
a lady walked out of a shop with her hair in foils or wisps of hair
sticking out of a cap covered in some sort of hair dye.
Personally
I don't really understand why men feel the need to go to Barbers
during lock down anyway. Most of the men I know, just shave their
heads themselves or get their wives/partners to do it. And I'm not
sure that I believe all these reports about Barbers doubling their
prices and charging more than £30 for cutting a man's hair in
secret. But there again I'm sure
these journalists must have done their research. Certainly during
the first TV report I saw about this, there was a video (albeit with
the faces of all concerned not visible) showing a Barber cutting a
clients hair. Hmmmmm.................. can one believe everything
that one reads in the news?
For
me personally, I think my hair is growing faster than anyone else I
know, so much so that I'm actually taking a photo of my hair every
week to show everyone how it's growing. And I have to say that it's
growing very fast. It's getting longer and greyer by the day.
Don't
you just hate all those friends & family that still seem to be
able to look immaculate at all times. As far as I'm concerned they
all must have very slow growing hair. Or they all have the ability
to cut one's own hair because they've watched the many Youtube videos
that seem to be popping up all over place telling one how to cut ones
own hair. I've watched a couple of these but no way would I feel
confident enough to take the scissors to my long greying locks.
Maybe I just lack in confidence. Lol!
Oh
and just wondering................. has anyone else noticed how
'Nicola Sturgeon' always seems to look perfectly groomed during her
daily briefings. Hair immaculate and I'm sure it's a different
colour from what it was when lock down first started. I'm pretty
certain that she is not stupid enough to visit an 'illegal'
hairdressers so she must be colouring and cutting it herself.
…...........Or perhaps she's got Frank, her husband helping out.
Not
so Boris. His hair is even more of a mess than it normally is. But
there again he's so eccentric and talks so much rubbish than I'm
guessing that what his hair looks like is the least of his worries.
PS
– Does anyone have any reliable up-to-date information as to when
the hairdressers will actually open? Don't know about any of you
lot, but my hair is certainly getting longer and getting greyer.
See you
all tomorrow.
Toodles.
