Why Pay For A Hair Cut?

Why pay for a hair cut, when your partner can do it. I have rarely, if ever paid for a hairdresser in my life. As a child, living at home with my parents, Mother or Father would cut my hair, they were both trained hairdressers. The major downside to this arrangement, was my hair was always cut the way they wanted, right up until the age of about sixteen.

After sixteen, I did spend a brief period paying for my hair to be cut, only asking my parents, if I ran out of money, which was often at that age. My one fifty an hour wage, working for Woolworth's, didn't go far; at least then I had a little more say in how my hair was styled!

My partner, before Darrell was also a hairdresser and when our relationship ended, there was always a friend around, who could cut hair; living on a gay scene, with more than its fair share of hairdressers  helped.

When Darrell and I got together in 1995 and we ran off to Australia, with no clothes or money, Darrell ended up cutting my hair and vice versa. In fact the first time I trimmed it, whilst living in Perth, I used  horse clippers; borrowed from someone we were staying with; job done, so what did I care.

Darrell continues to cut my hair today, after we moved to Spain. Had I been living in the UK, my gay daughter Lee, would do the honours. When she finally comes out for a break, she can give my thinning hair a good seeing too; until then, whatever is cheapest and more convenient is best. I certainly haven't got money to waste; staying frugal matters!
