A RELUCTANT Waterford woman has finally got that ‘Mom’ haircut everyone’s mother has, WWN can exclusively reveal.
The decision, made for her by a group of her peers and the local
council saw 55-year-old Joanna Hayes forced to attend her local
hairdressers this morning in order to conform to societal norms.
Gone are Joanna’s below the shoulder locks as a specially assembled
consultancy group reached the decision in just under 2 hours to shorn
her hair into a neat, manageable bob.
“As much as we love Joanna’s hair, and I’m quite sure Joanna loves it
too, we just can’t let her get away with that sort of length at her
age,” head of local consultancy group and county councillor Nevin
Chambers.
Joanna accepted the decision of the group as she admitted quite a lot
of her friends had ‘got the chop’ in recent years and it is “probably
easier to look after”.
“There’s been a bit of pressure on me alright, and I’ve been getting
more and more remarks,” explained Joanna to WWN, “you know like ‘oh your
hair is awfully long’ or ‘you’re in your 50s aren’t you? About time you
took the plunge’. It got irritating, but I understand I have to do it”.
Hairdresser Olga Polomski was assigned to cut Joanna’s hair at 9.30am
this morning at her Scissor Sisters salon in Waterford City.
“I have done about 1,300 of these types of cut in the past two
years,” Olga revealed to WWN, “long hair, it can become dryer more
frayed and women are often asked ‘who are they trying to kid?’ My
business has certainly benefited from this pressure”.
A similar system is in place for men and their pathetic attempts
combovers but it is not as rigidly enforced as the current ‘Mom haircut’
regulations.
