I expect, utterly '' irrationally, that if I can get my hair to look better at the hairdressers, then the rest of the world will fall into step! A few months ago, I was waiting to have my hair cut at the hairdressers, John Frieda's Mayfair salon. The mirrors make it appear as if the salon goes on and on into infinity an endless row of women sitting with their beige or blue gowns fastened at the neck. HAIRDRESSERS in pyjamas brightened up the lives of foster children last month as part of a drive to bring some home comforts to kids in need. To launch the drive, Pulse Hairdressing staff donned their jim-jams at work. The hairdressers also promised free haircuts throughout May for customers in PJs, who donated pyjamas to the salon for The Pyjama Foundation. FINDING an apprentice hairdresser has never been more challenging for Sydney hairdressers, who are short of skilled employees. Many stylists fear the push for high-school graduates to attend university has had an impact on the number of school-leavers taking up hairdressing apprenticeships.

IT'S hard to imagine occupations so diverse as a society hairdresser and a greyhound trainer but Robert Arnold has been successful at both. And on Saturday week he and his greyhound Did I Entertain will carry NSW's hopes in the Schweppes National Sprint Championship final in Perth. CHRISTINE Barker and her family came to Brisbane from Nottingham in the UK three years ago on a one-way flight for a new life in Australia. Now, the family-of-five might have to return to England after changes to Australia's skilled migration program put Ms Barker's application for permanent residency in jeopardy. COOKS and hairdressers will go to the back of the immigration queue as part of a crackdown to exclude lower-skilled workers. Immigration Minister Chris Evans will today unveil a dramatically shortened list of in-demand occupations designed to ``restore integrity'' to immigration.
ONE of the best things about going to the hairdresser's is catching up on all the mags. I don't know where you go but mine have some fantastic reading material - massive magazines that cost upwards of $25 and can only be bought at art galleries, and ones that have an International sticker on them and a picture of a little aeroplane to indicate their hot currency.

WE'RE often told blondes have more fun. But I can tell you I've discovered no joy in maintaining my chemical enhancement. I'd been on the lookout for a new hairdresser. I was in desperate need of a hair overhaul after a few weeks at the beach over the summer holidays.
