About
I have been doing hair for more than forty years, and for the last ten I have done it in other people's kitchens, conservatories and front rooms across north Mayo. I bring a folding case, a travel basin and a flask of tea, and I am in no hurry.
Most of the people I visit have had the same hairdresser for years, or find the trip into town harder than it used to be. A wash and a set at home, a cup of tea and a good chat: that is the whole idea.
Once a month
The tea round
