Thank goodness for fellow sympathisers like you! I too will probably become one of those old ladies, but I do draw the line at white hair sticking out of my chin

As the hairdressers rarely look in the things themselves, why oh why do they have to be sooooooo CLEAR?

Hence my deciding on dark glasses for the next visit!

Not good is it........it seems these mirrors are sneaking in everywhere.

A television instead of a mirror would be good

I simply could not trust myself to do it properly.....would probably end up like a scarecrow. It's bad enough having the "face" without adding to the nightmare!

Trouble is, the reports on most freelancers around here are not good There must be one though surely.

I get told off if I look at my feet - she really is a sadist and demands that I hold my head up and look straight ahead

Actually, come to think of it, the beautiful face behind me DID look a bit covered in makeup.

Oh lord yes, the dental hygienists mirror........forgot about that one, and I do have an appointment for next week.
Quite true. It is a conspiracy to make all of us stunning youngsters feel less good about ourselves for some reason Dammit, I would just settle for looking a healthy somewhere in my sixties instead of an anaemic octogenarian.

Or shop windows.

Hmm, will try the trick of using the magnifying side of my mirror then old bean.......if I can stand it That rubber thing and the black robe are both designed to make you feel and look ghastly doncha know, so that when they remove them - hey presto - you cannot fail to see some improvement! Hope you manage to find yourself a decent hairdresser, men are usually best I find but unfortunately my last one emigrated to New Zealand. Failing that, grow your hair and put it up every morning in an immacualte french plait..........you will then, of course, also have to wear tweed skirts and pearls for the gardening and for walking Zena.

I can't see very well without glasses so I look fab when looking in the hairdressers mirror lol

This thread has really tickled me, it seems there's a lot of us in the same boat
Fortunately for me, once I've taken my specs off my reflection is a big blur, too!

Being a Hairdresser approaching 40 and having to look into them every day when i usually have a young pretty 20 something sat in front of me does nothing for my self esteem either,all i notice nowadays is my wrinkles when i'm working

Yup, that's what I like. I have to take my specs off, can't see a thing then
