What makes it a hairdressers car?
Discussion
Following the thread on the MG, and the subsequent hairdressers quotes, Id ask what other cars fall into that catagory and why...
Maybe start a list of cars that you think qualify, and those convertibles that dont.
MGF
MX5
Not convertible but the Ford Fiesta must be in the hairdresser list somewhere..
IMO not a "HDC"
Audi A4

I think if it's 'stylish' and affordable it's a hardressers car. So an MX5/MGF is but a DB9/F355 Cabrio isn't a hairdressers carMaybe start a list of cars that you think qualify, and those convertibles that dont.

I've not read the MG thread - but what exactly is a hairdressers car?
I know 3 hair-cutter/stylist people, one drives an MPV, one drives an old Merc SL and the other an estate car for his windsurfing kit.
Is this whole 'hairdressers car' thing for real? Or just something blurted out by those with little imagination beyond clichéd stereotypes and nothing else worth saying?

Any man who cannot determine the merit of a single motor car, other than to say 'hairdressers car' is clearly not educated enough to draw up a decent critique. Often having never driven one and more obsessed with other people's opinions of what they drive, these are surely the most dangerous of all supposed car enthusiasts.
If easily swayed by the loutish public mentality on what constitutes a 'man's car', imagine how their attitude to the green movement will change if nobbled enough by the uneducated masses...given time.
Such a sorry state of affairs.

Are you saying that no cars are ever bought for style rather than function? Or simply that another term rather than 'hairdressers car' would be preferable?If easily swayed by the loutish public mentality on what constitutes a 'man's car', imagine how their attitude to the green movement will change if nobbled enough by the uneducated masses...given time.

We have to call this category of cars something and 'hairdressers' is as good a term as any.
What I don't know how to classify are those cars that are often bought by people with no interest in cars simply because they look sporty, but which are also bought by enthusiasts for legitimate reasons? EG MX5, Boxter, BMW 3 series coupe.
Are they still hairdressers cars?
A hairdresser's car is one with all the looks but none of the power.
One with the power as well as the looks are footballer's cars :-D
I have long maintained that no man can look entirely heterosexual in any car without a roof unless it is a Triumph TR6 or an old-school Aston Martin V8 volante, but that's taking the discussion off on a tangent.

No, i'm merely suggesting that such an obviously dismissive term has no place on a car forum. Surely it tells us much more about the lack of thought the poster puts into his personal summary of cars than the car he is 'reviewing'.
Surely driving dynamics, technical specificatons and ability are more relevant here than an obviously useless term as 'hairdressers car'.
One can comment on style as part of a well thought out and properly defined argument, with a proper understanding of style and design rather than just attaching a label which, in even a regular conversation, serves no purpose. On a car forum surely it is a cardinal sin?

I can do your hair over from the left, over from the right, or up from the back. The choice is yours.
