Scary Mary's

I have just been to Scary Mary's as she is known locally, our fabulous village coiffeur.    Why she is called Scary Mary as a nickname I can only guess at because she is the sweetest, kindest most lovely person you could ever hope to meet.    
Mary is from Glasgow and has not lost any of her sing-song twang of an accent or ability to talk the hind-legs off a donkey!!    While you are being shorn and tinted she tells stories, leading into more stories and before you can say 'haircut' you are transformed and transfixed wondering what the first story was about - lost in the mists of time.    She is a whiz though.    Mary Scissorhands should be a better nickname.    I think the 'scary' bit comes from the amount of huge dazzling bling-bling she wears and she being such a 'wee wumin' - but it goes with her larger than life personality!    
Mary and her husband Gary and their son Shaun are a much loved feature in the community along with their menagerie of dogs, cats, horses and ponies.     Oh, and she loves a good boogie woogie in her 6 inch heels when DJ Jeff is in the house!
We love you Mary!
