Once upon a time I had a lovely hairdresser....

Then Covid reared its ugly head and lockdown descended. I was already struggling with mobility and this additional consideration decided me to just let my hair grow.

I miss the conversations Frank and I used to have but I can manage my hair at home - trim the fringe, get Ray to tidy the back occasionally, tie it up in a scrunchie.

This photo is converted to high-contrast b&w.

Snap, I'm doing the exact same Hazel, with my hairdresser being on the first floor of a building, I just can't manager the stairs. Nice B & W capture. FAV

[Beryl Lloyd]

A super portrait and converted so well to b/w ! fav

Love your portrait. You captured a beautiful smile. When we moved from our previous home, I had to say goodbye to my haircutter of 25 years. We both cried.

Beautiful portrait.

My hairdresser daughter-in-law lost a lot of business because people are cutting their own hair and just going gray.

A lovely portrait in B/W. It is over a year since I have been to the hairdressers my daughter says I look younger with longer hair. haha

Great portrait he suits the monochrome tones perfectly Hazel:)

[Pat Knowles]

Well I think Frank will be missing you too Hazel. I miss my long visits to the hairdressers too. Coffee & a few magazines while I sit until the colour takes but for the last at least five years I just have a quick wash & trim….not the same somehow!
Great portrait of Frank.
