A mum made up a hilarious lie when a \u2018jobsworth\u2019 receptionist at Manchester Airport told her she couldn\u2019t enter the lounge while wearing hair rollers<\/p>\n
Lisa Connor, from Sandbach, Cheshire, was travelling with rollers in her hair so she could be ready to party as soon as she landed in Alicante with her girls.<\/p>\n
The busy mum juggles two jobs whilst frequently jetting off around the globe as managing director of \u2018The World Famous Elvis Show\u2019, with Elvis impersonator and estranged husband Chris Connor.<\/p>\n
Lisa said her girls\u2019 holiday was \u2018just what she needed\u2019.<\/p>\n

But the 47-year-old was told she couldn\u2019t enter the pre-booked lounge because her hair rollers went against the dress code.<\/p>\n
Lisa and her four mum friends plotted to hide the rollers under a silk scarf in a bid to get her into the swanky lounge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018The lady in the lounge instantly asked what was under the scarf, and then she asked if it was rollers,\u2019 said Lisa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I said \u201cI\u2019ve got a scalp condition, thank you\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u2018She looked at me as if to say \u201cyou\u2019re lying\u201d but I knew she wouldn\u2019t be able to question a medical issue.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018I went in and every time I looked over she was staring at me. She wasn\u2019t happy at all. She didn\u2019t want me in that lounge.\u2019<\/p>\n
Lisa said the receptionist, who she branded a \u2018jobsworth\u2019 knew she had rollers in.<\/p>\n
\u2018Everybody in the airport knew I had rollers in,\u2019 Lisa added.<\/p>\n
\u2018Girls with rollers in are a common sight, especially if they\u2019re coming from Liverpool.<\/p>\n
\u2018I always travel in rollers. I\u2019ve travelled all over the world with the [Elvis] show, nearly always with rollers in. It\u2019s never been a problem before, and I always go into lounges.<\/p>\n
\u2018But for some reason they\u2019ve got a new rule where you\u2019re not allowed rollers in.\u2019<\/p>\n
Thankfully, her plan worked, and Lisa was able to wear her freshly curled hair straight to the bar after unpacking her suitcase in Benidorm.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u2018We were planning on going straight out, hence the rollers,\u2019 Lisa said.<\/p>\n
\u2018We were going to arrive in our hotel rooms, quickly put our evening clothes on, brush through our hair and get ourselves out. We wanted a party night.<\/p>\n
\u2018It was all worth it. My hair was massive when I got there.<\/p>\n
\u2018It had all the volume I wanted and lasted the whole night. It was hot, but nothing that hairspray couldn\u2019t help.\u2019<\/p>\n
