Today I would like to eulogise on the joys of getting a haircut in the Middle East. I'm a man of a certain age, a short back and sides sort of man, and my hair is pretty grey - and I want to keep it that way! Yet I find this impossible to explain to the pretty young girls at the regular hairdressers - they keep showing me photos of male models' hair, blokes young enough to be my children, and trying to persuade me to try a little hairdye.
In the Indian barber shop nobody speaks any English. When it's my turn in the chair the barber keeps cutting till I shout "Stop". Then he gives me a shave and a head massage - sounds kinky but it's very relaxing. I pay the princely sum of a couple of dollars. I am a very satisfied customer.
Definitely keep refusing the hair dye - grey hair is so distinguished.And you're lucky to still have a nice full head of it!
