The haircut continues, with Mr Salter removing a towel from the customer. “I wanted to attend the meeting, but I was clear I didn’t want to turn away business,” said Mr Salter, who has run Cowboymod for more than 25 years. Ahead of his speaking slot, Mr Salter could be seen using his scissors to trim the hair of a customer, who remained off camera. As the meeting went on, he whipped away the towel protecting the customer s clothes from falling hairs, totted up the bill, and bid goodbye to the man whose hair had been cut. The salon owner, artist and musician lives above his Walton Street premises and spoke at the meeting to give his support to removing the barrier, debate over which has divided the local community.
