Davina agreed, stating: ‘Having been on the receiving end of being in the chair while you do my hair it is like therapy. You therapied me for many, many years!’
‘Therapised!’ Michael laughed, adding, ‘I find that with a lot of clients. I think if I stopped being a hairdresser I’d quite like to be a clinical psychologist.’
Clearly a fan of Michael’s methods, Davina jumped in with, ‘You’d be great!’
