New Master Craftsman in Hairdressing

2011-05-21T11:49:00.007+01:00

Hello
I'm so proud to have received this award from The Hairdressing Council.
It glorifies me and gives new clients the confidence to get in touch.
How did I acheive it?
I completed my training in Cardiff and then after a few years
Opened my own salon in St John's Wood London
Which I ran for ten years and then sold for a profit
I'm pleased to say
After that I've worked as a mobile hairdresser for many years
Evolving into a very competent bridal hairdresser too.
I've hung the award on my wall at home
And it shines like the sun
:)

I Did Two Brides in One Day

2010-08-11T22:33:00.005+01:00

And the Bridesmaid too!
LOL
It really was quite remarkable
The 10am Wedding was booked well in advance
No problem
But the 2nd Wedding was booked with little notice
All I could suggest was to start at 6am
I managed it though...
Woke up at 2am
Left the house at 4.30am to get there on time
A bit cruel for me but well worth doing
For such a good cause
The early Bride was young and excited
She gave me such a hug at the end
She nearly broke my back
I wasn't expecting that
The next Bride was more settled and calm
And the day for her started slowly
I gave the Bridesmaid a high-top new look as well
And finished feeling well-tired at 3pm
It was a super day in every way with good memories
I added new photos from the day to my Bridal Hair Slideshow
Take a look now and enjoy!

A Landmark Victory

2010-02-04T18:51:00.005Z

I was recently called out to work at the Landmark Hotel
A beautiful 5 star hotel in London
I was challenged with the task of doing 2 hair updos
For two beautiful women
And it wasn't easy...
They knew exactly what they wanted
An Amy Winehouse top with a back sweep to the side
Into a fan of hair
Very exciting but a bit of a fight of wills to achieve it
Everyone was happy but there was no time to be nice
They had to go on stage to receive a beauty award
No time to take a pic of it all
The pictures were taken by the Press at the event
There is hard work behind the glamour!
You know
:)

Bleach It Like Beckham

2010-01-13T20:20:00.005Z

I had a good laugh with a client today
Doing highlights and a David Beckham haircut
I used my nuclear secret bleach formula
And the hair was super-blonde in 30 minutes
Wow!
Then the haircut which I think
Looks a bit silly really
A spiky quiff in the front and soppy sides
All done...
When I glanced up at him as I was tidying up
It was David Beckham
Spitting image
The only difference being
This guy is useless at football
Oh well...
:)

Mobile Hairdresser Sexually Assaulted by Great Dane

2010-01-05T18:05:00.005Z

Well...
It wasn't as bad as that
I'll tell you what happened
It's been cold lately
So I was out going to work in Oxford Street
Wearing my black fur hat with long ears
I saw a lovely dog across the street
And when our eyes met it was love at first sight
He made a run for me with one thing on his mind
I thought Oh No! It must be the ears
The dog thought Oh Yes! and dragged his owner across the street
From a distance we looked the same size
She was shouting Don't do it! Don't...
Well it turned out to be a Scottish Terrier
About a foot tall
I had a lucky escape
I did
:)

Christmas Rush For Hairdos

2009-12-13T16:04:00.006Z

Yes
Everybody has been hanging on
Until the last moment
To get their chemical work done
That means perms and colours
Even silver highlights...
All the regulars are already booked in
For Christmas and New Year
And we're swapping Christmas cards too
And eating mince pies
It's all very nice indeed
And the big question is
What are you doing for Christmas?
I don't know yet...
If I'm lucky
I might spend it with the wrong girl
Or on my own again
Listening to carols and jazz on the radio
Eating Christmas pudding
The telly will be good too
I wouldn't mind seeing the fireworks on the Thames
On New Year's Eve
A Happy Christmas To You All
Love

There Is Such A Thing As A Free Lunch

2009-11-07T14:14:00.005Z

I'll explain...
One of my ladies was on her way to the local shop.
She met a neighbour who complimented her on her hairdo
And asked who had done it.
She recommended me and the neighbour called me
To make an appointment.
The neighbour was so pleased with me
That she invited the lady out to lunch at the local Inn.
Very posh it is...
The lady felt a bit embarrassed about it
Not used to such a high-life!
Good eh?
:)

The Woman Next Door Has Two Pussies

2009-09-01T15:14:00.006+01:00

I was told
By the little 88 year old lady
As I was doing her hair!

Oh!
I said...

How many boyfriends does she have?
I asked the old lady
:)

Well...
The little old lady didn't answer me
:)
So...
I very gently explained to the little old lady
That a pussy was a modern word
For the female sex organs
:(

Ohhh...
Said the little old lady
As she thought it over again...
:)

One more thing about the old lady
She loves Welsh men
But she won't tell me why
I've asked her three times?

On-line Birthday Bash

2008-10-19T20:12:00.003+01:00

Hello
I started the week with a couple of blowdrys
But the next lady cancelled because she'd hurt her foot
So I had a go on the Markets and lost
And gave up forever...
Tuesday was mad busy all day
until 9 o'clock at night
Regular clients in Soho, Maida Vale and St John's Wood
Then a family group in the afternoon-evening
with dinner to follow
Very nice...
Got home so late though
Next day Wednesday my morning lady cancelled
because of a bad cold
Never mind I said
Because today is my birthday
I decided to tell my pals at Midsummer's Eve
And started an On-line Birthday Bash
How cool is that?
Take a look at it here
I'm 50 now!
On Thursday I did my regular lady at Willesden Green
Then visited Hampstead to do an Old Boy cut and shave
Did his nails for him too
They were so long to be dangerous
On Friday I did my regular shampoo and set ladies
And finished early...
Looked at the Market again and predicted a drop
It happened...
I made so much money I was scared to death
I'm expecting a fall on Monday too
So beware if you are holding shares
On Saturday I was free so I built a Testimonial Page for my website
I love it so much...
Have a look at it here
I improved my Introduction Page as well
See it here
On Sunday I planned to cut my hair
But just ended up washing it
It's getting so long now
I have to flatten it
Going to end the week with a movie
:)

Current financial crisis is nothing new

2008-10-12T23:34:00.005+01:00

Hello
A kind of average week...
It started with a disappointment
My first client wasn't well and had to go to hospital
I wasn't told so I had to continue to my next client at St John's Wood
I got there too early for her to be ready for me
I had the afternoon free and went on-line
I managed to find the text of a book written by Kondratieff
A Russian economist who explained the current financial crisis
over a hundred years ago!
Next day I visited a family in Golders Green
At the bus stop where I was waiting she appeared
The Battleaxe of the area
A short older woman who dominated the crowd
She told a man off for smoking at the Stop
And when he answered back she told him to bugger off
And when he coughed she told him to die
Everyone was amazed...
She then proceeded to tell off the bus driver for being an hour late
Nobody punched her on the nose because she is old
She knows that when you are old you can say what you like and get away with it
During hairstyling we agreed that Shakespeare is boring!
I collected a mystery parcel from the Mail Centre
which turned out to be a box of chocolates for my coming birthday
Next day at St John's Wood again
My lady booked in for a perm didn't need a perm
So I told her to wait until her next haircut for it
On Thursday the ill lady had returned from hospital
And had her hair blow-dried
Then off to Maida Vale for a couple of shampoo & sets
Their TV was not working
I fixed it...
I'm clever like that
I was a bit scruffy on Friday
So I did my morning clients
Went home... had a shave
Received another parcel and went out again
to the Hampstead hairdressing tea party
And then right out to Brentford
which is a dreadful journey to make
I got home so late...
And outside the supermarket the handle of my case snapped off
I had to go out and buy a new case on Saturday
Added a new hard drive to my computer
And Sunday was a day off...
I'd planned to cut my hair but I didn't have the pluck to do it
So I did some grooming and watched a movie
Week over...
:)

Hairdressing and the Stock Market

2008-10-05T19:58:00.003+01:00

Hello
This week passed very quickly
Whoosh!
Here's what happened...
The first client of the week had a visitor
Her grand-daughter arrived and spoke to me
about her passion to help others
Which was very exciting and new
And she's pretty!
Then across to Hampstead to enjoy
the hairdressing tea party
We had walnut cake this week
Yummy!
Then I shot off to Watford
to do a fella's haircut
Everyone lives in houses out there
Not flats...
Next day I went to Soho to do a blowdry
for a regular client
Another lovely girl to chat to there
And more tea too
I got home a bit early and took a look
at the American Stock Market and predicted a drop
It happened...
I worked in St John's Wood and Swiss Cottage
the next two days
On Thursday I got home early
and watched the Markets and decided to trade
I made almost a £1000 by the evening
I was thrilled and scared
Friday was the busiest day this week
Sets cut and a tint to do
It was hard work and tiring
I traded and won on the Markets
in the evening
Then lost it all back and more on one trade
I hate that...
But it's my fault of course
Not having a proper plan in place
On Saturday I did a lovely couple's hairdos
for the second time which is nice...
At home I figured out where I went wrong
with my trading and I've made a new policy now
I finally relaxed on Sunday
And I feel fine
:)

A stressful week of challenge

2008-09-28T23:47:00.008+01:00

Hello
There has been so much to do
I'm going to have to tell you about the whole week
In one go...
On Monday I did two regulars in the morning
Then off to Canary Wharf to meet a new client
What a place it is...
Such wonderful buildings
I took a short-cut through one of the shops
So many people queueing up to buy their lunch
Loads of people serving them
Affluence indeed...
The new client lived in a sheltered housing block
Which is right next to the river
I could see sailing boats just outside her windows
A very nice view to have
She told me she liked handsome men
When she was young
And a drink too!
She liked her hairdo and me
I walked through a lovely park of fountains
On the way back to the Tube
I added two new pictures to the gallery
Have a look
I started to work on my new introduction web page
But it was difficult...
On Tuesday one of my clients told me she was blown up in the war
She had her face rebuilt...
She survived
She's 96 now and never stops talking
:)
Worked on the new web page again
And this time it all went well
It's up and running now
Take a look
It's getting harder to advertise with words now online
So I created three new image ads
And they are being viewed
On Wednesday I met a very friendly Carer
For the first time at a client's place
I think we like each other
Ooh-err
;)
Friday was a day of big jobs
A tint and a perm to do extra
So the takings were good
I made three more image ads again
And I am back in view...
The weekend was spent recovering and grooming myself
An intense week of struggle really
But all is well at the end of it
Goodnight
Bryn

Renewal of Vows

2008-09-20T23:37:00.004+01:00

Hello
I worked at another Wedding today
Except this time it was a Renewal of Vows
Which is a very nice idea
So much in love...
They got married again
At the Presidential Suite of a 4 Star hotel in Maida Vale
Wow!
A lovely family...
It can happen for some
The Bride had a very nice updo
Mum had a fancy do too
And the grown-up children did each other's hair
They had 10 rooms between them all
The same Registrar married them again
Everyone looked very glamorous for the Re-match
They all enjoyed themselves.
That was my work for the day
And the end of the current run of weddings
So back to routine hairdressing now
Until more orders come in
Could be a day off tomorrow
I'm waiting to hear from a new client
My new introduction web page is up
But the text has been altered
And I can't correct it yet
That will be a job to do next week
I've got loads of new pictures for the gallery now
To add when I get the inspiration
Goodnight
Bryn

A full day's work

2008-09-20T17:16:00.004+01:00

Hello
Today was such a full wonderful day
I'm writing about it tomorrow
Now...
I managed to wake up on time
4.30am!
It's cruelty to humans that
I arrived at the Bride's flat at 7am
And the Groom was there
It's unusual but he was very useful
When the Bride and Mum were under the dryer
He made tea and toast
And when the Bride cried
He was there to comfort her
Aaahh...
An announcement was made on the radio too
Very romantic...
He wasn't allowed to see the Dress though
And left ahead of her
The wedding hair preparations were a scream
With lots of laughter and malarkey
Dad looked great in his white and silver waistcoat
The Bride looked like Audrey Hepburn
And Mum had something completely different
With everybody happy
I left to take a break in the park
I shared my nuts with a squirrel
He had a very good breakfast!
Then off to Primrose Hill to do a regular client
Then up to Hampstead for the hair tea party again
When I got got home I didn't have to unpack much
Because I have another wedding to do tomorrow
But not so early in the morning...
Just had the time to watch a movie
Then off to bed
:)

Big Day tomorrow

2008-09-18T20:59:00.004+01:00

Hello
My internet connection went down last night
So I was a bit put out
But I managed to get my email on my pocket PC
So I survived it quite well
I had a productive day today
I have a wedding to do tomorrow
Starting at 7am!
Have to wake up at 4.30am
A terrible thought...
I have to pray to God to get me up at that time
I have two hair ups to do
Followed by four regular clients
Tea party included...
Best Wishes
Bryn

Doing the regulars

2008-09-16T23:00:00.004+01:00

Hello
Today I made a new regular client
which is wonderful
Regular clients keep the business ticking over
New clients are the icing on the cake
I don't have to get up early tomorrow
So I will recover my strength again
I changed my advertising strategy
To make it more effective
Time will tell...
A nice day's work today
Doing the regulars
And drinking cups of tea
I put this blog on Facebook last night
which pleased me
I'm new there
:)
Bryn

Good deeds day

2008-09-15T23:27:00.004+01:00

Hello
Today I was doing the regulars
Bless them...
Two of them were very poorly
And needed more than hairdressing
I did one lady's nails too
The other had a corn on her foot
I didn't charge them any more
I did them a favour because they are old
I'm good like that sometimes
If I can spare the time
Google have launched a new Adword system tonight
That helps...
No more inactive keywords!
My introduction webpage will be upgraded soon
with new software
So all is well once again
Off to Soho and St John's Wood tomorrow
See you soon
Bryn

Wedding hairdo rehearsal today

2008-09-15T00:07:00.005+01:00

Hello again
I had a disappointment today
My Mayfair hairdo cancelled,I found out
Two weeks ago apparently
I didn't get the voicemail
Nor did I acknowledge the message
I was upset...
After a while I decided to rehearse
my next wedding hairstyle
Audrey Hepburn's style from Breakfast at Tiffany's
The first time went well
Messed it up on the second attempt
Had it sussed by the third
So I'm ready for the week now
I spent hours practising today!
I'm worn out and happy
Bryn
:)

New pictures added to gallery

2008-09-13T23:25:00.003+01:00

Hello
Today I added two new pictures
to my hairstyle gallery
They're lovely...
Photos of the bridesmaids
Have a look!
I got myself spruced up today
Ready for more hairdressing action
Three wedding days to do this week
Everyone is in love you know!
I have to rehearse one of the hairstyles
before I go
So that it is perfect on the day
Hair updos can be unusual work
And I have invented some techniques
which is very stimulating
Some hairdressers are afraid of long hair
Oh dear!
That's all for today
Bryn

Family Hairdressing Day

2008-09-13T00:40:00.003+01:00

Hello
Today I visited my favourite family
And did all their hairdos
Mum,brother and sister
I've been doing their hair for 28 years
We've shared births,deaths and marriages
When the hairdressing is finished
We have dinner together
The whole thing is very very nice
:)
I helped the son with his computer too
I left at 10pm
Looks like a day off tomorrow at last
But clients can ring at any time
And get me out again
I love my job
And never tire of doing it
Got a wedding hairdo on Sunday booked in
Off to Mayfair
Wow!
Goodnight
Bryn

A hard day's evening

2008-09-12T00:31:00.004+01:00

Hello
I'm so tired
I can hardly think
I spent over 3 hours travelling this evening
Worth it though...
A nice client and very generous
Lives down by the River
:)
I've done four weddings recently
And a hairdo for a funeral this morning
Just like the movie
Sad really...
But I am there
Good times and bad
Got a family to do tomorrow
So I'm off to bed now

Funny Names

2008-09-11T00:57:00.006+01:00

Hello There
You won't believe the names of some of my past clients
This is absolutely true...
I've had a Mr and Mrs Farter
Miss Hymen(look it up)
She didn't know what it meant either
Thank God
And Mrs Dick
I couldn't call them by name
Just couldn't do it
So I used their Christian names instead
All nice people
What's going on?...
Today I added adverts to this blog
To make it more interesting for you
And here is my picture
If you haven't seen me yet

A nice day today

2008-09-10T00:38:00.003+01:00

Hello
I woke up a bit late this morning
Had to leave home with no breakfast
To get to the first client on time
Managed to snack myself back to normal by the afternoon
All nice customers today
Lots of chit-chat about this and that
A bit of a late night working but worth it
On returning home
I invited 100 people to see this blog
And they like it
I'm pleased to say
So I'm feeling happy again
Very popular I am
:)
Don't have to get up early tomorrow
So I can stay up a bit later on the computer
Doing my thing
I will add some new photos to the Gallery soon
I'm going to wash my hair tomorrow
Catch you later

My most annoying regular client

2008-09-08T23:07:00.003+01:00

Hello
I visited my most annoying client today
And came out after three hours
feeling annoyed
As expected
I'm still upset
Seven hours later
Is it worth it for the money?
The client is continually critical,belittling,
interfering and self-contradicting.
A nut-job
Do they realise they are?
Of course not
However there is some goodness in them
So I bear it
Like the saint I nearly am
Of course their hairdo was beautifully done
And life will go on
Oblivious
A good day though in all
Made some money
Travelling was hard today on tube and bus
Standing up,Broken escalators
There was a Babe on the bus though
to flirt with
I've been so busy lately
I'm neglecting my own grooming
Another big day tomorrow
A late night job
I hope you like my Blog so far
Bryn
