Lacey was your average 20-year-old college student: Lacey had fair skin with olive green eyes. She was able to get good grades and had a good personality that made her extremely popular. However, the difference from her other classmates was her very curly, dark-blonde hair.
One autumn day, she went to her History class where they discussed Cold War-Era America. During class, her hair was covering her face, which she decided to get a haircut. After class, Lacey called her usual salon. Sadly, the salon was booked for the next week, due to the dances from the surrounding schools.
Lacey decided to ask her friend best friend, Allison for help. She was in the library, when Lacey asked her and told her about her predicament. Allison sadly responded with the same answer as her salon, but saw a There is a Unisex Barbershop a block from campus.
Lacey gulped at the word “barbershop”. She thought of an old man with thick glasses giving her a crewcut. Allison reassured Lacey with a promise to get a haircut with her. While Lacey was scared, she was less scared than she was a minute ago. Allison packed her textbooks into the book-bag, and decided to go off-campus.
At the edge of the campus, Lacey could already see the spinning pole. Allison could see Lacey’s face before crossing the street, that she may have second thoughts. Allison held her hand as they crossed the street and were in front of the barbershop. There was a sign that said “Larry and Leo’s Barbershop”.
They both entered, where a strong whiff of aftershave hit their faces, along with the sounds of clippers and shears. They noticed four large barber chairs, but only two were in use. Both of them sat down, but only had to wait a few minutes before hear the word “Next!” from the barber. Lacey stood up, while Allison sat in the waiting area.
The first barber, Ryan asked Lacey if she just needed a trim, Lacey denied the trim and wanted something shorter. Allison interrupted by telling Ryan 1 Inch on the Back and Sides, with 1-1/4 Inches on Top. Ryan grabbed the cape draped it around her, then he reached for the clippers and turned the chair away from the mirror.
He combed out Lacey’s hair and started on her left side. Lacey winced as the clippers took off the hair from her scalp. She saw long strands, as well as a pile dark-blonde tresses on the red-and-white striped cape and the floor. After her left side was shaved, the right side and back of her head were shaved, too.
Allison, got into the chair next to her and had her haircut started too, asking for a #8 on Top and a #0 on the Back and Sides. Lacey was too busy to hear her friend’s request. Ryan then used the “clipper-over-comb” technique near the Top of Lacey’s head, before switching to shears. Small bits of curly hair fell onto the cape and floor. Lacey’s hair was combed out and had gel added to it, before being blow dried. When she was done, she was turned around in the barber chair and saw herself in the mirror. She gasped and thought it actually looked good.
Lacey then waited for Allison to be done. Allison’s hair was thicker, so it took longer. Allison’s hair was shaved to the skin on the Back and Sides, before having the second barber, Walt, shave the Top of her head with the #8 guard on the clippers.
After another few minutes, Allison’s hair was shorter than Lacey’s. Allison didn’t know what clipper guards were used for, so she decided on #8 and #0. When she saw herself in the mirror, she gasped at how short her Back and Sides were, in relation to the Top.
Both girls paid for their haircuts, and walked out of the barbershop. Lacey thanked Allison for coming with her. As they got back to campus, they both went to their dorm and went on to do their homework.
