What they say about us ...

Margaret Yates: “New Zealand women are not as hair-conscious as other nationalities — it’s a dabbleyourself society. They don’t spend the time and money on themselves that Continental women think of as a right.” “Men have come to realize that there’s more to it than just having some hair cut off — it can be styled, and that’s a vast improvement” Grahame Davis and Chris Jones: “Some clients love hairdressers to be bossy. But whether a person wants a convenience haircut, or they have a dream of themselves and want you to put it into reality, they want to be listened to.” Julie Armstrong: “You need psychology — sc®ie people are not honest with

themselves. They look at a photo of a beautiful woman and think they can have the same image.” Joro Yambasef: “Some people want a laugh, others don’t want to talk, just relax. If you talk too much they won’t come back. Others want to talk about their problems. Some people make an appointment not because they want a haircut, but a pick-me-up.” David Bradford: “There is not as much confidence in hairdressers as there should be. If you go to the doctor, you don’t expect to tell him what you need. If you’re in a position of trust with your hairdresser, you should accept their skilled advice. “People have a real fear of having their hair cut too short. No-one ever complains about having too much left on.”
