It was as if I knew how to cut hair without being told. It was mainly gents’ cutting I did then, until I experimented on my own hair and then my mum’s and younger sister’s hair. By the time I was sixteen and ready for college, I had a list of clients but had no qualifications. At fifteen, I had a work placement from the school in a salon in Dunoon. I then progressed to having a Saturday job and so on until I was working full time as a hairdresser here.
I always had an interest and found great pleasure in working with people but, when I first started, I could not speak. I was such a shy person. Now, if you let me, I will speak for Scotland. My boss was very caring and understood. She told me to speak and from that day on I have never stopped. It was as if someone had given me permission to speak. All she said was simply, “Carol you do need to speak to the clients, even if it is only to check that the water temperature is ok”. But, as a shampoo girl initially, I was very quiet until I developed the confidence to speak and this was one line I could use without feeling that I was saying the wrong thing. I had been told exactly what to say.
In my quiet time when working with people’s heads, I noticed that everyone had a different bump or lump and everyone certainly had a different head. I noticed this more and more and found books in the library, discovering that this study was Phrenology, and that Phrenology was Greek word for the mind. I also began to study Physiognomy, which is more to do with the face. This is the study of the eyes, nose, chin and cheekbone shapes.
From reading the bumps and lumps on people head and the face shapes etc, I would get to know the character of a person. This gave me more confidence to speak to clients and I learned when to start a conversation. Both Phrenology and Physiognomy allow you to understand the mind and personality of a person without making any conversation.
It is said that this ability comes from occult practises. I feel that it comes from our own sixth sense and, when we open up to it, we should use it. I believe we should know, as animals do, without the need for communication. I feel that body shapes tell our “story of life” and the body’s “vibrations” show what we are and when we are lying. It is only when you look to see it that you will notice. Understanding the mind is not as easy as it seems as the influences of the mind will always vary. We all know, for instance, that a man shaking could be that he is cold, though in a warm room, we know that it is not for that reason at all, but for another influence on him. For instance, he may be nervous because he is in a room filled with women.
I was soon able to identify with everyone as a result of studying both Physiognomy and Phrenology. This study is not talked much about today, but it is something I use all the time when working as a psychic consultant. I started using a gift I have developed which has made me feel at ease when working with people as I know exactly how they feel, and it is therefore combined with my psychic abilities when I work.
When I was learning phrenology. I found this information in a book, which I have typed up in my own words and used as my guidelines to help others learn phrenology.
They say modern phrenology is more like neuron science and continues to be used with neurosurgeons. Today, all neurosurgeons use this guideline of the human skull.
It can be fun to experiment this guideline with your friends and partners to see what you get from it. Remember to see it purely as fun until you feel your intuition guides you with the meanings.
It may take lots of practice to become a master at this and I was lucky to be working with heads and massaging them through my chosen career at the time.
Good luck and have fun!

When I was five, I used to pretend I was a hairdresser. This was something I wanted to be when I grew up. I remember getting my first Girls’ World at this age and ignoring my bike.
I used to experiment haircutting mostly on my brother, then my experiments led to my step dad’s hair cut.
He told his friends at work that I wanted to be a hairdresser and I practised on them as well. I cut everyone’s hair for nothing when I was thirteen and had no experience in working in a salon.
