Firstly, being a male over 40 I have selected my genes carefully to dispense with the pastime of visiting a house of coiffeurery. And I don't know anybody who removes the least interesting area of follicle extrusion.
So PHers who are scissorists, or are married to, cohabiting with or just friends with one or more, do they still drive white cabrio Suzuki Vitaras, mx5s, boxsters, etc or has the game changed?

I'm going to Take a punt and say the Vitara has been replaced with a Nissan Juke.

The wife's hairdresser currently drives his wife's Antara whilst he finishes building his turbo yellow top Orion. He has previously owned an MX5 though...

Possibly a strange one but over here in Ireland, in particular my home of Mullingar, lots of female hairdressers drive JDM performance cars.

I have seen them driving the following: Evo 8/9, EK9, EG9, DC2, DC5 etc.

I bought a very nice TT from a hairdresser, ticked all the boxes for stereotypicery although it was black/black colourway on a tintop which is what I was looking for.

One of the Mums we're friends with at the kids school is a hairdresser....

Never passed test... thankfully, because..

extremely short sighted and refuses to wear glasses. Also, classic dim blonde.

I don't have my hair done by her.

Husband drives a white A4 he pays too much for on a PCP deal.

Chap who cuts my hair (and looks after our dog while we are on holiday), drives a A4 estate, but really wants a 156 SW. Used to drive a really knackered Peugeot. Not an MX-5 in sight.

I'd guess something white and dreadful like a Mocha or a Juke.

The hairdressers I know drive Audi A1, Fiat 500s, Vauxhall Corsa, VW Tiguan, Mini Cabrio, VW Beetle (not the classic kind..) which are all pretty stereotypical really. My friend in Glasgow says his hairdresser drives a 400+bhp Honda CRX Turbo which she's had from new/nearly new, which is less stereotypical. laugh


Cheers,
Grant

I'd say they must drive fairly average cars. I wouldn't have thought they are earning that much money. So probably the most common cars sold: Corsa, Astra, Fiesta, Focus. Just based on easily searchable statistics.

My A5 sportback gets refered to as a hair dresser car at work, I'm sure no hairdresser would opt for the sportback model or the ultra diesel but hey ho rolleyes

Usually they drive something that is "all show and no go!" So I guess an mx5 or an Aldi TT
