AK> < "I will have my hair cut" >

AK> "Cut" is not a verb.

I am sure it is:

I will have him repair my car.
I will have my car repaired.

`repair' is certainly a verb in both cases.  You may call it
a past participal in the second instance, because it
partakes of the verb, or, is partially a verb. Analyse the
present-tense example, if you like it more: "I will have her
cut my hair," where `cut' is a verb beyond the faintest
shadow of a doubt.
