You Rock fans out there will have heard the classic Santana track: "Black Magic Woman". If he was a Barber or Hairdresser he would make a lot of money on the side at the moment. "Got a Blackmarket haircut".
Apparently now all the High street hair salons are shut and the Devil finds work for those with scissors.
My Barber in Blighty when I was in my twenties was the pub landlady and she use to cut my hair in the pool room for a drink or a fiver. Well you have to be smart for an after time "lock in" haven't you? It was surreal to walk down the road and listen to the birds Prog Rock Dawn chorus.
My wife has been cutting my hair for the last 25 nearly 26 years. I think we have gone through two or three Argos hair trimmers and pairs of scissors in that time?
Any road. Now all none essential shops like hairdressers have closed. There's apparently the rise of the blackmarket hairdresser. I say good luck to them. Of course there are mobile hairdressers. Are they allowed to visit our houses? How can clothes and shoe shops and hairdressers not be essential?
In a few weeks time see how many people you see walking around with new manicured hairstyles. We will be saying: "How did they manage to get their hair cut?"
Talking about haircuts. I found this David Bowie gem of a video and Impression:
My dear husband has always rather careful with his pocket money so I have had to cut his hair for the past 35 years. I still haven't quite got the hang of doing it properly so he usually looks like an aged punk.

DeleteHi JayCee. That's how I try to look like P. Bob Geldof meets Iggy Pop.😊 I am never going to dress like I am old. If I end up in an old folks home I will be requesting some Black Sabbath or Blondie to be played .
ReplyDeleteMore like Adrian Edmondson in The Young Ones.
DeleteHairdressers do a roaring black market trade here. Have scissors, will travel. I was horrified during the first lockdown when mine phoned and said she would come to the house whenever I wanted.
ReplyDeleteThis time round I'm prepared to wait. But ours will probably open soon and I can still see from under my fringe, at the moment. Mustn't let the grandma FS take to it with the dog shears like they did last time. I thought they did well but hairdresser was not amused
Grandma FS?? Grandkids!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. Hair never stops growing does it? Well it does for men. I wear an hat most of the time these days. My wife will let me cut the length of her hair but never her fringe. The best thing about a bad haircut is that it doesn't take long to grow again. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBowie came across as very pleasant and "ordinary" in that clip. Thanks for sharing it Dave. His impression of Jagger made me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteYe YP. Another one of my Rock heroes and quite an humble man. His Mick Jagger impression is uncanny. I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYe YP. Even.. Yes, YP.
ReplyDeleteI though ye were going to back to Ye Olde English ye rapscallion! Or as Ye Olde Beatles used to sing- "She Loves Ye, Ye Ye Ye!"
ReplyDeleteAnother North country band I never get tired of listening to YP. "It's been an hard days neet and I've been riveting like a frog".
ReplyDeleteI simply gave up cutting or coloring my hair. I'm almost completely gray now. My sister is on call tonight and staying over night here, because it is 10 minutes from the hospital. She'll give me a trim and get the bangs out of my eyes. Then I'll pin it back once again, and we'll call it good. It's a bit freeing, actually.
ReplyDeleteHi Debby. I am getting greyer and greyer every year. Sounds like your sister is very versatile and you are self sufficient in your personal grooming and your home and in your vegetable garden.
