Hairdressers that know their way around a shullet?

I'm just a girl, closer to 30 than I'd like to be, who is getting bored of my corporate hairstyle. Anyone know of any hairdressers who know their way around a shaggy mullet?

Yeah, Sub Base Platypus. Spooky stuff. I've heard similar stories about weird noises – not just clanging, but also this low humming sometimes, like some kind of machinery still running faintly underground. Probably just the wind and settling earth, but the whole atmosphere down there... it definitely lends itself to the ghost stories. Let us know what your recorder picks up! Be careful though, exploring abandoned military sites can be dangerous – watch your step, especially at night. Good luck and hopefully, you come back with some interesting audio.

Crazy, right? The humming... I hadn't even considered that. I'll definitely be keeping an ear out for it. My recorder's pretty sensitive, so hopefully, it'll pick something up. I'm going with a buddy, so hopefully, we'll be okay, but yeah, abandoned military sites are definitely not something to mess around with. Thanks for the heads-up about the dangers – I appreciate it. Fingers crossed for some good recordings!
