Should Your Hairstylist be a Therapist?
Big Brother is alive and well in Scotland
There is a disturbing trend recently to get your hairstylist to become an amateur shrink. I have written in the past about the hairstylist as therapist in the article Your hair stylist knows more than you think, But one such recent attempt is right out of an Orson Wells novel . . . would you believe the Scottish government wants hairstylists to counsel their clients on potential suicide thoughts. I kid you not, you must read the article Hair stylists in city salon try to cut suicide rate from news.Scottsman.com.
Can’t you just picture some downhearted Scottish lass sitting in the chair for her monthly trim and hearing “Are you feeling suicidal today? Should I contact the government authorities for you? . . . Now that is a scary thought.
“I would be howling
in protest”
If I were a Scottish hairstylist I would be howling in protest at even the suggestion that I break the sacred bond between me and my clients.
Somehow I just don’t see my peers in the hairstyling business being too excited about such efforts to get them to spy for big brother. I know that as a hairstylist I was too busy thinking about what I was doing to get too involved in the melodrama of my clients personal lives.
