Overview

Betty Tigers (named after the owner's mother and her favourite animal) is a completely, utterly unique place. The polar opposite of high-concept, clinical hair salons, it is so much more than just a hairdresser's: art gallery, community centre, ideas shop words really are inadequate for describing how special this place is. Proprietor and chief stylist Elton is a one-off. He delights in the unusual, and the photoboard outside shows off some of the whackier hairstyles he's conjured up over the years! While cutting, styling and colouring, he'll often canvas your opinion on some of his other weird and wonderful ideas for art and film projects, community-building, or just generally putting the world to rights. Prices are usually ridiculously cheap (and sometimes Elton seems loathe to accept any money at all for his services). The only possible drawback is that cuts can take a very long time (especially if there's video-making to squeeze in), so make sure you set enough time aside.
