It is my considered opinion that the hairdresser is the most influential person in the community.  When a person goes to a hairdresser, something happens to them.  They feel safe, they relax.  The hairdresser knows what their skin is like under their make-up.  She knows their age, they don’t have to keep up any kind of pretense.  Clients tell a hairdresser things they wouldn’t dare confess to a priest and they are open about matters they’d try to conceal from a doctor.  When clients place their secret lives in the hairdressers hands they gain an authority few other people ever attain.  I have heard hairdressers quoted with complete conviction on art, literature, politics,economics, childcare and morals.  I tell you that a clever, thoughtful, ambitious hairdresser wields a power beyond the comprehension of most people.                                                                      John Steinbeck  1902-1968
