"Hairwire" is (likely) another allusion to a catchphrase whose significance for Joyce is uncertain. The simplest version is "There's hair" or "There's hair like wire" which was a musichall catchphrase, sometimes "There's hair like wire coming out of the Empire" which may have been a song about the belles of the Empire Theatre.

WS Sonnet 130: "If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head." [vs complimentary 'golden wires'?]
'wiry hair' usually refers to black people or breeds of dog

There's an early, apparently-very-bawdy Scots lyric collected by Robert Burns "There's Hair On't" which seems to allude to pubic hair and conquest. (she's too young if there's no hair yet?)

It can be pronounced DURZ-UR, or There's 'air.

also There's a girl with a lot of hair (so what?)
"There's hair on baldy!" (derisive, of men)
There's hair like wire (long and stiff??? surely less attractive than long and soft!?)

"hair like wire frizz like fire" (said by mother brushing daughter's hair)

"...Misconduct of society belle. Norman W. Tupper, wealthy Chicago contractor, finds pretty but faithless wife in lap of officer Taylor. Belle in her bloomers misconducting herself, and her fancyman feeling for her tickles and Norman W. Tupper bouncing in with his peashooter just in time to be late after she doing the trick of the loop with officer Taylor.
-- O jakers, Jenny, says Joe, how short your shirt is!
-- There's hair, Joe, says I. Get a queer old tailend of corned beef off of that one, what?" [U-Cyclops] (I guessed 'hair of the dog')

I could see 'short shirt' as meaning 'how young you are' but Jenny's a married society belle, right?

004.10 "their's hayair"
069.08 "Dair's Hair"
149.28 "where's hairs"
169.04 "Hairwire" (haywire?)
289.09 "Derzherr, live wire, fired Benjermine Funkling outa th'Empyre"
514.09-.10 "hellfire club kicked out... Thereswhere" ?
516.14 "bear's hairs like fire bursting out of the Ump pyre"
628.12 "There's where." (5 lines from end, so very important: puberty?)
