Hairdressers in Itchy Hands Horror
Shock, horror, hairdressers can get dermatitis from the chemicals they use. Large numbers of them are already sobbing in toilet cubicles and refusing to come out. 'The disease can cause hairdressers' skin to redden, swell, blister, flake, crack and itch. Staff who contract the disease often have to leave the profession and find other work,' says one Geoffrey Theobald. Ohmygod! Ohmygod! But, no, it's all right. If they wear latex gloves, they'll be okay. Phew!

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Probably not the first time hairdressers find themselves donning latex gloves.
ReplyDeleteGet me out of this thread quick.
ReplyDeleteWhy does this latex gloves notion leave me feeling vaguely uneasy? Also, your previous commenter - Gordon McCabe. McCabe? French is it?
ReplyDeleteStrange how the most innocent post can turn weird on you.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually a beneficiary of this -- I hate going to the hairdresser. But when I moved to my current house, 15 years ago, I found a hairdresser who had quit her salon because of the effect you describe, and set up on her own. from her own home, using --- er-- dunno, something that does not require Latex or cause allergies!
ReplyDeleteI've been going to her ever since. She's 6 foot, blonde and beautiful, and just puts me down in her diary for 6 weeks' time each time I visit, so I continue to look vaguely neat -- at least as far as hair goes ;-)
Indeed, James; have you not heard of the McCabe Bordeaux? Sadly, it's not available from your local supermarket as yet.
