  • Summary

  • We join big_fat_Greek mother’s mother, and meet Olga’s mum Helen Michael in her home salon.

    Andrew sets Helen’s hair in rollers as we hear the hilarious hairstories and affairs, parrots and perms of El Greco salon.

    Learning her trade from age 15 as one of nine children, Helen had her own little salon in Paphos in Greece, and has had some loyal customers for over 50 years!

    Olga opens up about growing up in the salon and finding the characters we now see in her standup routine.

    “You had to be the best, because people will talk.”

    “This job you don’t get rich, but you don’t get hungry.”
