Bad Hair Day
It's probably true of most small towns, but it is certainly inadvisable to get a haircut in Aberystwyth. I live with someone who not only refuses to have a haircut here, he refuses to get his hair cut anywhere in Wales.
When I first moved here I thought I could manage by growing my hair to shoulder length and then just getting the ends trimmed. How can anyone make a mess of that? I went to the nearest hairdresser and asked for a trim. "Do you want it cut now?" she asked. "Yes", I replied.
I was guided to a chair where I anticipated a brief discussion of my hair and what I wanted done, before being led away to the washbasins. What a fool I am! She simply picked up the scissors and hacked away at my dry hair.
While I was there a man came in. He didn't ask for anything. He was dressed in work clothes. A woman dragged a chair across to where he stood, climbed up on it, and began to shear him like a sheep.
Actually I couldn't complain. She did literally what I asked, and it was perfectly acceptable. I haven't been back, though.
