Wife haircut
“I’ve heard this story before” I laughingly replied to my wife’s declaration.
“No, listen to me, this, this is all going” she lifted her dark brown tresses which still had shades of the blond highlights she had sported two years before. “I actually made up my mind several months ago but, Hazel my regular stylist, gave me the ‘ ok why don’t you think about it and we’ll make a start next time’. Well I was ready then and even readier, is that a word? now, which is why your coming with me this week when I get it done”
I paused as I formed my reply, “Let me get this right, you me to come with you and to tell the hairdresser how to cut your hair?”
She gave a little laugh ” No I would probably end up BALD if I left it up to you ! But I want you there for moral support and to ask the hairdresser or maybe better with a barber to do whatever I ask”
I gasped ” A BARBER! how short are you going? ”
She swept her hair back and began “Well maybe not a barber but maybe a unisex walk in place you know nothing too upmarket. Now I have not settled on a final style yet but there are some things I am sure about. I want a fringe (bangs) wide and full, I’m tired of constantly pushing my hair out of my eyes if it’s not tied back, I also want it taken right in cropped short at my neck , again I hate those fly away bits when I wear my hair up, I don’t want curls, colour, or layers. I want something really striking! Something that will turn heads and I don’t care how short of will be but it WON’T be buzzed or shaved , well not all over, what do you think?”
I was shocked and almost speechless as I replied ” What do I think? well I’m surprised a bit doubtful and… ”
Her eyes narrowed and she barked at Me ” DOUBTFULL ? you think I don’t mean this ? That it’s just a game, a fantasy of something ? Or are you ‘DOUBTFUL ! ‘ that I will suit short hair ? ”
I tried to placate her and reached for her hands ” No, not at all I believe you,and am happy and truthfully a bit excited at the prospect of your new look. You’ve obviously put a lot of thought and research into this why don’t you show me what you have in mind? ”
She relaxed and reached for her tablet and opened up a file of images then she stopped and set down her conditions ” Now before I show you these I should tell you not one of them is what I am looking for but parts of all of them could be put together to create what I’m after. Ignore the various colours , they are not an option but rather look at the cut, (she giggled) or in some cases lack of it and imagine me with that style, and one last thing, even if you think something is absolutely horrendous I’d rather not know, in fact I’d prefer if you didn’t pass judgement on anything I’m going to show you, it’s not a criticism of your preference but this is something I want to be all me , even though I will probably need your help to achieve it, ok? ”
I nodded my acceptance and she linked her tablet to our widescreen television then hit the play button to start a slideshow of images and she left to make some coffee.
As the first of the images slid across the screen one thing was in common all the pictures were of fringes (bangs) from whispy eyebrow skimming, through schoolgirlish straight across the forehead , thick cut ear to ear , and the last lot were ultra short sliced way up just below or in one case right on the hairline. The next set of pictures focussed on the neck area, after the first half dozen had passed I realised no hair would be touching her collar ! In all the images the hair was at the longest trimmed to the hairline and then they progressed to what I would call ‘shaved’ not bald (apart from one) but clippered in tight sometimes just at the hairline others taken high up to the oppcital bone and clipper shaved close some with fancy lines or a heart shape sculptured into it.
The slideshow was moving onto sides and ears as she deposited a mug of coffee in front of me and I knew she was watching me as the images scrolled across the screen . Again they started out as short, but conservative cuts, Bob’s mainly from jaw length to short enough to expose just the ear lobe, then they progressed to more extreme styles from sharply cut angles exposing most of the ear to neatly trimmed around it , then clippered close, faded to almost bald with the side hair cut to a classic short back and sides. The final set of images were of full haircuts before and after shots of models with the camera showing the cut front, sides, and back, again they started off with classic Bob’s , through Bob’s with shaved napes and cropped sides to flat-tops. The final image being a model with a classic sleek bob, eyebrow skimming fringe, sides falling just below her jaw, as the camera panned to the back of her head it showed a clean, neck with the shiny blunt cut hair sitting thick and straight, the model’s fingers reached into her hair and lifted it up to expose her scalp , shaved smooth level with the top of her ears, the camera panned to her left ear and she tucked her hair behind it exposing the shaved hairline above and behind her ear, as the camera returned to the front she smiled , shook her hair to show the ‘swing’ then the image faded.
My wife settled down beside me and stroked my hair, “Well, what do you reckon ?”
I hesitated ” Well, WOW! I mean it’s hard for me to comment, because well, as you said there isn’t one you’ve decided on”
She rubbed my neck then reached for her tablet a few seconds later her face appeared on the screen and then she pressed a button and her images morphed into her with a bright pink Mohawk hairdo her scalp shining either side of the pink brush on top , she started giggling and reached between my legs, ” Don’t get too excited! I know how much this turns you on ! That was just to see your reaction ! But I am seriously considering this ” the image flashed back to her original portrait then a broad fringe appeared halfway across her forehead, the image completely changing her look ” what do you think ? and you can comment”
I considered my reply given what she had said before ” It’s a lot of hair to lose , it would take years to grow back to, to what it is right now ” she turned my face to hers ” Who said I would grow it back , now give me your honest thoughts on the back” the image changed to a nape shorn half way up the back with what I estimated to be a number 2 clipper cut, she leaned in towards me and I immediately began to stroke her neck ‘Now this is how the back will be ” our lips met , then she continued ” After it grows back in” she reached between my legs “mmm , interesting if this how you are watching a picture how will you be as you order the barber to take it ‘closer and higher’ ” she squeezed my hardening manhood and continued “I’m doing this for both of us, for you because you’ve always wanted me with short hair and for me because I need to , I need to make a statement, mostly to myself but to everyone else as well I’m fed up being considered ‘ safe and boring ‘ Now let’s finish this off upstairs where you can play with this mop for the last time , it’s hitting the barber’s floor this afternoon.”
As we made our way to the bedroom I asked her ” The barber’s ? I thought you said a unisex salon”
She turned towards me and rubbed my crotch ” No definitely a barbers, one where we can simply walk in and get three haircuts” before I could question her statement she was pushing me onto the bed stating “Let’s deal with this big boy first”
To be continued.
I enjoyed this a lot. Looking forward to part 2. 🙂
That was excellent, thanks !
