This ranges from men wanting me to shave their backs, to dying their pubes. (Buy a male groomer from Clicks, please.)
But it has to be said, I have never, ever, in my career had to cut hair by candle light as I had to last week!
My client cheerfully arrived at 5.30pm to my home salon, where I can work after hours to accommodate clients that work business hours.
At 5.45pm she informed me that the power is going off at 6pm. I’m less than half way through an intricate hair cut.
Out came the candles and solar jar, but it was still, for all intent and purposes, dark!
She was very cool about it and seemed to think this was normal to have ones hair cut in semi-darkness! (She’s young)
So I struggled my way through, and told her to come back when Eskom granted us power to check if her cut was fine with her.
She didn’t, so I presume my candle light cutting skills are up to scratch.
I know you guys apparently hate all of us, from reading the latest articles, but I promise you, if you knew what we sometimes go through, just to keep our treasured clients happy, maybe you would be a little kinder to us!
And NO, for the millionth time, I don't "perm pubes".
This article was written by a reader in response to the Spindel laundry dryer competition.
