Bankrupcy for hairdressers

Is it not suprising that German hairdressers survive? I always wonder what they do. To earn their money. Cause if you look around in Germany, everyone seems to have long, blond hair. No hairdresser needed for a fresh, short "coupe". No fancy coloring. So, no work... and no money, I would say.

My own German did not believe me when I said this. So I took him into town for breakfast. On a terrace. In that last bit of sunshine before the winter cold steps into the day. And we count.

We opt for the young ladies. One. Long, blond hair. Two. Long, blond hair. Three. Long, blond hair. By nine out of ten, my own German falls from his chair. Indeed. Young, German women have long, blond hair. He never noticed.

So, now we wonder both. Over breakfast. How do German hairdressers survive?

PS: Maybe it's a marketing issue. With a name as "Hairkiller", I would also be carefull getting my hair done.

Alice, real blonds are a dying breed,
8 out of ten are dyed blonds. So I guess there is more than enough money
for all hairdressers to make.
