What does hair play in the dictionary of dreams?

Click on image to enlarge

In your dreams

Deciphering what they mean

Dream are windows into our inner world, psychic manifestations of our deepest emotions and darkest fears. Its no wonder that psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud called dreams “the royal road to understanding of ourselves and our preoccupations.

What does hair play in the dictionary of dreams?

If you dream your hair is knotted up and tangled it means that you feel uncertainty, there is an aspect of your life that you think is a little confused and literally needs straightening out.

If you dream of having your haircut, interpreters of dreams tell you that you feel that your energy is ebbing away, that someone, somewhere is stopping you saying what you want to say. Who is cutting your hair in the dream? That might give a clue as to who you feel is being censorious. Or it could mean that you are trying to literally cut something out of your life so as to rebuild and reshape it anew….

She stoops to conquer

Shropshire Drama Company

“This play has everything – romance and intrigue, drinking and dancing, jewel thieves and some rather dubious fashion advice. Everything takes place during one night, an evening where if love is to conquer all, it will need a good map….

Our grateful thanks are extended to ….Jo Stephens and her team and K2 the salon…”

Blast from the past - 1990's

Hayley Millington, now ART DIRECTOR at 'K2 the salon' and more recently reached the finals of the Wella Trend Vision Awards 2009, talks about her modern apprenticeship in an information pack created by the careers service and distributed to year 11s in the 1990s .

cameo owned by Philip Minton is now known as K2 the Salon

"When I was about 13 -14 I knew that hairdressing was what i wanted to do, and got a saturday job at Cameo.
I first heard about Modern Apprenterships on school work experience. Someone from the careers branch came to the school and checked what we needed and i went from there.
I left school, Cameo took me on and I started going to college one day a week. I'd recommend the Modern Apprenticeship - if you ever want to get your own salon and be able to train apprentices and assess them, or work in college, training to be a beautician next."
