Trevor Crampton, 56, appeared in Hastings District Court to plead guilty to one charge of obtaining by deception, following the incident on September 20.
Crampton admitted drinking heavily before entering a hair salon on Heretaunga St, Hastings, at about 2pm. After being given a haircut, he told staff he couldn't pay the $30 for the service. Police arrived at the salon and said he "made no sense" when questioned.
Asked by Judge Bridget Mackintosh if he could explain his drunken antics, Crampton replied: "Actually the first I knew about it was the next morning when I looked in the mirror." Judge Mackintosh said the incident was "traumatic" for the stylist. She fined him $150 and ordered he pay full reparation for the haircut.

Reminds me of the joke:
A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together. After the man received the full treatment - shave, shampoo, manicure, haircut, etc. - he placed the boy in the chair.
"I'm goin' to buy a green tie to wear for the parade," he said. "I'll be back in a few minutes."
When the boy's haircut was completed and the man still hadn't returned, the barber said, "Looks like your daddy's forgotten all about you."
"That wasn't my daddy," said the boy. "He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, 'Come on, son, we're gonna get a free haircut!'"
Heh heh!
