He also opened the cheque book; he promised to pay for any additional costs incurred by going to a decent hairdresser and he agreed to consider paying a tip to her if this was deemed appropriate.</p> <p>G4S has been under fire since it emerged last week that 3,500 extra military personnel have had to be deployed with closely cut hairstyles to meet the firm’s shortfall in trained security guards with decent haircuts for the Olympic Games.</p> <p>Police – who are also strictly forbidden to be on duty sporting dangerous hairstyles such as mullets or perms – have also been asked to fill gaps left by G4S. </p>
