FIRST DAY



First day, half a dozen clients. Perfect. Above, Cameron, handsome devil that he is, opted for a complete makeover. Gone is the one length hair lying on the shoulders(remember Hansen?), replaced with a heavily layered look with a Bieberesque fringe. I received a typically teenage cool response to his new look.


Cameron's twin sister Phoebe(above) had a trim and took control of the camera. She spoke about Kerrang magazine and her love for Simon Neil, peroxide blond sea-god lead singer of Biffy Clyro.


Oh dear! The camera never lies, they say. Bagpuss in clan Macdonald tartan scarf. Jesus.




The lovely Katie Strachan(above) popped by. One of Dunfermline's most stylish young women stopped for a cup of tea and a chat about her forthcoming holiday to ShagaMagaluf with her 11 pals. Carnage. We also spoke about the finer points of second-hand shopping, bemoaning the rise of the expensive vintage store. Nothing better than a top find in a pishy Sue Ryder shop. I once got a pair of Grenson leather-soled brogues for sick squid. Katie said she once found herself a YSL chiffon top for next to nothing.
Later in the day, Lorraine(below) came in for her first look at my wee room. Top bump! Baby due in under two weeks!!



Alison was in for a trim. She says she hates having photos taken, but I took one anyway. Alison is a gem of a person with three of the loveliest children ever. An absolute credit to her! She is also a very talented artist. I hope we can work together in the near future on the Abbeyview Artist Project.


Not one to let looking like bagpuss put me off, I thought I might take a snap of myself each Monday and discuss my choice of garments for the day's toil. Not visible in this snap are my brown leather Cheaney Chelsea boots, a gift from Lorraine, tweed suit trousers from Next, two second-hand jumpers, a tartan scarf and a pus like thunder.
