Doing my best to keep spirits high and blood pressure low. I don't mind animals but 0 pets & 0 plans to get any. I think I'll be working forever, so just as well I like my work, even if I sometimes hate my job. Enjoying the silence but also enjoy a chat.

always having to look her best no matter how she feels; always risking ruining her clothes with chemicals & colours; listening to clients' boring, sometimes traumatic, stories with sympathy & understanding. It's an art. It's hard work.

I have the utmost respect for my hairdresser: on her feet all day; always smiling & pleasant; always diplomatic as customers demand the latest celebrity cut/style even if it clearly won't suit them; fielding "HOW much?" complaints from those who don't understand overheads or liability insurance...
