Default Doomed and desperate.

Well its finally happened. My hairdresser has decided to emigrate.
Well only back to Melbourne but she has gone.

This as only women will understand is a problem of grand scale. Especially in the land of the mullet. Fearing how I shall look for the next 6 months I spent the morning trudging round hairdressers.

First there are the $19.00 basic we dont even wash it shops:scared:

Then the $79.00 cut because we have leather chairs shop.

Then the open shop stuck next to a bakery so everyone can watch you shop.

Then the shop that looks like a tacky gift shop full of blue and yellow fish ornaments, various wallpapers and target purple towels.

Finally I gave in and was attacked by a rather gay gentleman, who seemed more interested in the revalation that my Brother in law is gay and now single again.

$49.50 later I have what can only be described as a hair disaster.

I can also fully understand why Australia has hairdressers at the top of its bloody most wanted list.

Well I guess the green will go if I take up Megs Hare Krishna suggestion, plus it would be cool in summer.

No what I need here, is someone to say look dotty I know this fabulous little hairdresser who wont turn you into a mullet. ( I am prepared to drive Brisbane is no Problem ).

Best alternative suggestion up here was a woman who does hairdressing in her garage, however the fact she also does dog grooming was of some minor concern.

Sorry, cant really help, the fact that Im contemplating driving to my old hairdressers at Loganholme for my next haircut should give some indication that I am having a similar problem to you in the hair department.

Errrrr except mines not green, although it did end up a distinct shade of pink after a weeks swimming in the pool at Port Douglas :scared: .

I had heard of the problems in the follicular areas on arrival in Aus and thats when I had the No1 all over and have stuck with it since.
Ok so I've been robbed of my former sartorial elegance, butI've avoided the six weekly trauma.

My post loks a bit misleading after podgy's effort.

I only had the No1 on top, though I was informed by a rather tipsy colleague at the works xmas forago that she was very keen on fellas who had gone for the all over trim.
