Said by beautician who is trying to get a job by pouffing the shop owner's hair.
Beautician: There. I see a hole
Owner: I was hoping you'd catch that.
What about 'a hole?' I don't get it. Does it mean, a hole on the scalp?
Thanks in advance!

a gap
The beautician sees a gap - the hair doesn't form a unity across the head. I remember Margaret Thather's hairstyle, somewhat puffed up and a hole (gap) would have disrupted the perfect look of it.

hole
It means that there is les hair in that area. It can be from hair thinning, or it can sometimes be from a cowlick. (Where the hairs grows or lies in a different direction than what you'd like it to do.) I would opt for the thinning hair spot, myself without any pictures or more context.
