WOMEN SNIP OFF PROFITS
MEN BARBERS ANNOYED Hairdressers in Dundee have a grievance—and it is women. They are finding that a big slice is being snipped out of their bobbing trade by semiprofessonal women barbers, who, after a few lessons in the tonsorial art, blossom out on their own and carry on business in their homes, or by peripatetic canvassing for custom throughout the city. “Their charges, of course, are ridiculously low,” one barber said lately. “Indeed, a few pence, at the most is all they ask; and this, of course, appeals to many girls whose pay in the mills is none too large at present, even if they are steadily employed. “Naturally, these yvomen do not give the best service, but their methods arc good enough, apparently, for many of the girls who formerly had the best hair-dressing skill expended on their locks in city shops.”
