The Haircutter's Cut
Synopsis
Have you ever wondered how it is that even the finest haircut can go from Barbie to bird's nest in the space of a few days? Martin Cosgrave has. He's an investigative journalist who thinks he's exposed a conspiracy used by the hairdressing trade to exploit unsuspecting customers for centuries.
Gaining the trust of industry insiders, he discovers their trade secret: a haircut which looks fantastic for a few days, then quickly deteriorates, forcing the customer to return for further grooming.
But while he is looking into this, Martin makes an even more astounding discovery. There is a second secret haircut, The Haircutter's Cut, which those in the know can obtain by making a secret sign.
Martin makes it his mission to track down The Haircutter's Cut, and a hair-raising undercover investigation ensues.
