I do find the stereotypes funny though, to be a hairdresser in the Phils you either have to be a woman or be gay, the proportion of ordinary male heterosexual barbers seems to be vanishingly small and most of the women in the salons seem to only work in manicure/pedicure.

I know it's a bit of a cliché here in the UK too but I knew plenty of straight male barbers in the UK and a good few camp but straight male hairdressers.

In the Phils camp is almost always gay and gay is often surgically altered transsexual! Wild place!

They are generally good stage entertainers though
I have a friend who used to be a hairdresser and acted kind of camp! He got with more women during those years than he has had since, so I think he had the last laugh when some other men would make fun of him for camping up a little
