‘£60?! For a haircut?!’
I stared at the website of a fancy Northern Quarter salon, sums running round my mind. With £60 I could feed myself (and then some) for two weeks. I could book a return train to London. I could have a pretty great night out. Really, one of the last things I wanted to do with that money was get my hair cut.
It’s not that I don’t appreciate the skill and craft of a really good hairdresser. When you’ve trained for years, it’s only right that you should get a decent paycheck for your work - something that is undoubtedly skilled.
