One day, when I was in high school, some friends & I were talking about what we were going to do when we “grew up”. My friend J said that she wanted to be a hairdresser. Someone else said, “Great! You can give Karen a haircut!” (I had waist-length hair back then, too.) J said, “NO WAY am I going to be the one to cut her hair!” We all laughed. Fast forward a few years when I decided to get a haircut. I walked into a place and was put in a chair. (When I said that I wanted it cut shorter, the lady who seated me, the lady servicing the next chair, and the customer in the next chair, all came to stroke my hair before the cut!) The lady who seated me said that she would get my stylist. I’m in my chair with my eyes closed (I LOVE people playing with my hair) when I hear a loud GASP! I open my eyes…and there was J, ready to cut my hair!
Reminds me of a King of the Hill episode where Hank’s niece Luanne is in hairdressing school and she noted he has gray hair. However his attitude is different
Luanne: “Uncle Hank, you have some gray hair. May I color it?”
Hank Hill: “Absolutely not! A gentleman never colors his hair.”
Luanne: “Ronald Reagan did.”
Hank: “I repeat, a man keeps the color God gives him. If Ronald Reagan did dye his hair, that was for a valid reason. He needed to show his strength to the Soviets.”

The last appearance of Marie in the comic strip and it’s pretty obvious the reason why.

In Canada, isn’t color spelled colour?

Not to sound ‘sexist’ but why do ‘hair stylists’ in print, television and movies have the ‘most outlandish’ hairdos ???

I think that’s what’s called a left-handed compliment.
