Hairdressers is the fifth episode of the second season of Bluey.
Synopsis
During a game of hairdressers, Bluey discovers that big-headed customer Dad has nits! To help treat them Bingo has to find her voice, while Bluey has to find her ears.
Episode Recap
As Bluey does Chilli's hair, she makes small talk with her mum, but interrupts her anyway before she can speak. Oops. Bluey asks if she wants both ears pink or one pink and one green, and Bingo tries to chime in, but she still can't speak her mind. Chilli tells Bluey, who's applying an all-pink appearance, that Bingo has had trouble finding her voice today. Bluey asks if she has found her's, and indeed she has - now she needs to find her ears. Well, they're on the top of her head, but she needs to find time to listen to the others around her.
In comes Burt Handsome, the most handsomest man in Queensland. Bingo is unable to ask him if he has an appointment and for him to take a seat as Burt starts to talk to Chilli. He asks the girls to make him look more handsome, but he's already the most handsome man in the house - is it possible to raise the bar? Burt tells Bluey that he's bought a new house with his stacks of money, and that he's been winning a lot of trophies for being so handsome his old house has been filled to the brim with them.
However, HE'S GOT A NIT! The girls hit the deck and retreat, for nits are indeed a very serious thing to deal with. Now scared beyond his wits, Burt blurts out that he indeed lives with his mum. The girls point Burt towards the shower - a particularly cold shower at that, for nits hate those. Burt immediately takes a disliking to the cold as the girls look on, but the girls decide to pull out all the stops to get rid of the nits, hitting him all around - and yes, he's got butt nits so they have to deal with that too - with a rubber hammer and a fly swatter. Bingo suggests Bluey get the nit bird, which she uses to peck at Burt's nits. Nothing's working, so she asks Bingo to grab the... cricket bat?! Wait what?
As Bingo runs off to grab it, Bluey tells Chilli that Bingo's grabbing the cricket bat. Chilli is happy Bluey's not talking over Bingo - but talking for her won't help her find her voice. Bingo, who is unable to find the bat, runs back inside, only to find that all the nits have gone. However, seeing the saddened Bingo, a couple more nits find themselves on Burt's fur (Indeed, a thing to celebrate), as Chilli calls for Bingo's wise words. However, as she asks Bluey to do it, she decides to let Bingo finish her sentence...
"I want to um, tie Dad upside down from the tree and throw water balloons at him and then cover him in nit powder, which is flour, and then rake him with the rake!"
She's found her voice, and Bluey's found her ears! Outside, Burt is hung on the tree as the girls prepare their nit removal procedure: first, they throw nit bombs at him, then they release the nit powder, then grab the rakes as Burt, in pain, finds himself with no more nits.
Completely exhausted by day's end, Burt pays and leaves the establishment (paying a thousand dollarbucks for the service) and sits next to Chilli, who he invites for a cup of tea. As they leave, Bluey asks Bingo what game they should play next, as the latter has an idea.

Trivia
- Nits are the leftover egg casings of head lice and the presence of nits typically indicates an infestation. Lice are wingless, parasitic insects that feeds exclusively on the host's blood and are highly transmissible from host to host. Treatment for lice includes the use of fine-toothed combs, insecticidal shampoos, heated air, and (in drastic cases) shaving the head.
- When Bluey and Bingo discover Bandit has nits, a special title card plays that crosses out the original name and replaces it with the title “Nits”.
- Bluey is replaced by Chilli in the credits of this episode.
- When this episode aired on Disney Channel in the US, it was paired with Rug Island and Sticky Gecko.
Errors
- Bluey's line "They're all over his butt." is written as "And all I hear is 'But.'" in the Disney+ subtitles.
