Life on a Permanent Wave: Hair-Raising Stories from a Shipboard Stylist

Richard Wood worked as the chief hairdresser on the luxury liner the RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 (the 'QE2') - the most famous ocean liner afloat - for 12 years, mainly in the 1990s. In this rollicking memoir, Richard shares his wealth of stories from his time on the QE2, from anecdotes about the famous and the super-wealthy, to hilarious and occasionally shocking tales about the day-to-day life of the ship's crew and passengers.
