Chapter 5: “The Chair”
It was a usual day at the salon, some regular customers coming in for a cut, nothing major that stood out of the ordinary. Linda and Julie were attending some clients, Lily was updating the computer’s schedule list and Tiffany was giving a client a manicure.
Tiffany was the salon’s newest employee; she arrived just a month ago and was hired to be the nails technician. She was friends with Lily, had just graduated college and was looking for a job and fortunately Kate was hiring. The first time she arrived she was shocked not only to see that Lily was bald, but the whole staff as well and she made it very clear that she was not planning on shaving her head. Tiffany was a stereotypical “valley girl”, dyed blonde hair, always concerned for her looks and being dressed in the latest fashion. But nonetheless she was also a good natured person; she got along pretty well with everyone in the salon and was always nice to the customers, not to mention she was very talented in her craft.
A delivery truck parked outside the salon, the driver entered and asked Kate to sign some release form, then he asked her where to install it and Kate pointed out in the middle of the salon, at the center of two styling chairs.
“What’s going on Kate?” asked an intrigued Linda
“Well, let’s just say that they are making a delivery that was long overdue” answered Kate with an air of mystery.
The workers then installed a barber’s chair in the spot that Kate had pointed out earlier. It was covered in red leather, spacious and seemed in perfect conditions.
“Wow a barber’s chair, seems nice” said Linda
“Yeah, it has that barbershop vibe going on” Julie pointed out.
“This is a present from an old friend that I used to work with back in London, she ran a small barbershop and this chair was a very special part of it” said Kate
“What is so special about it?” asked Linda, a bit confused.
“Allow me gals to show you, hey Tiffany, would you like a haircut?” offered Kate inconspicuously.
“Really? Well, it might be a good time to switch up a little, so, sure! why not?” said Tiffany, who was taken a little bit by surprise with Kate’s proposal but accepted the kind offering regardless.
“Don’t worry, is on the house, you been doing such a great job so far that I wanted to reward you with a little treat, besides, I wanted you to be the first one to try out the new chair” said Kate as she helped Tiffany get into the big red chair, she then capped her and proceeded to start combing her hair very slowly and methodically.
Tiffany was getting very relaxed while seating in the chair, with her eyes starting to get lost at her reflection in the mirror, more specifically towards her hair.
“So Tiffany, have you thought about what you want to get done?” asked Kate with a mischievous grin.
“Yeah, something…short…” answered Tiffany as if she was in a hypnotic trance
“All right, how about a bob?” Suggested Kate
“No, that’s too long…” her voice was drifting more and more.
“Ok, a pixie then” Kate started to cut Tiffany’s hair; her highlights were being accumulated in the floor, when she spoke again.
“It’s still too long Kate” Tiffany said, unsatisfied, almost annoyed. “Maybe something like yours…” She then wondered, sounding wildly different, with a sense of yearning in her voice.
Linda, Julie and Lily were appalled when those words came out of Tiffany’s mouth
“More like mine? Honey, you do know I’m bald right?” asked Kate incredulously with an ironic chuckle.
“Yeah I know; I think you should shave my head Kate” responded Tiffany, getting a bit accelerated as she held tightly to the chair’s armrests.
“I thought you said you had no intention of going bald” said Kate raising an eyebrow in a mocking surprised tone.
“I know, but that was before” Tiffany was getting anxious with her boss incredulousness “Please Kate you have to shave my head bald, now!” demanded Tiffany in a firm but a bit desperate tone with a maddening stare in her eyes.
“Well then, if you’re sure…” said Kate shaking her shoulders as she grabbed her clippers and started to pass it through Tiffany’s hair, making the young woman ecstatic, deeply enjoying each pass of the clippers, she couldn’t stop smiling from ear to ear for a second. Kate then proceeded to place a hot towel in her head, after a few minutes she covered it with foam and started shaving it with a razor, and then proceeded to do a second pass. While all this was happening you could see the immense pleasure on Tiffany’s face, as she was delighted with the sensation of the razor going through her head, it was so intense that she gasped for air with a red colored blushing face as she held onto the chair with twice the strength than before.
Kate then applied two coats of wax into Tiffany’s head and guided her towards the dryer. Once she was under the hood, she approached the other dumbfounded employees.
“I guess that chair still has its magic” said Kate, satisfied with the result.
“Oh my God Kate! How did you do that?! I was sure we will never convince Tiffany to shave her head” asked a shocked Linda.
“Yeah, even with your magic touch I thought it was impossible” said Julie, just as impressed.
“From all the time I have known her, she always cared so much about her hair, it was her crowning glory! I still can’t believe she asked to have her head shaven” added a confused Lily.
“The secret is the chair girls, you see, my friend discovered this chair in an auction house many years ago, and soon she figured out that whoever seats it on it will become very suggestible and will get this almost supernatural need to get their hair cut, mostly as the same style of the hairdresser” explained Kate in a fascinating way.
“Whoa, that’s a fantastic story Kate, no wonder Tiffany was so desperate to get her head shaved!” said Linda now understanding what had happened.
“This will come in handy when dealing with difficult customers” said July with a naughty tone.
“Yes, that is why I asked her to send it here, but remember everyone the chair is very powerful and we must not abuse it, we have to be careful on who we use it with and make sure they are the appropriate person to begin with” Kate warned them all in a serious way.
“Roger that boss, I think Tiffany is ready for the final touch” said Julie pointing at the whimsically smiling fashionista under the dryer.
Kate guided Tiffany back to chair and right away the intoxicating sensation came back to her, as Kate made use of her freshly manicured red nails to massage Tiffany’s head with moisturizer and lotion.
“Ohhhhhhh my…this feels…fabulous Kate…” moaned Tiffany feeling like she was melting in the chair by Kate’s expert fingers.
“That’s why we hired you sweetie, to put to good use these fabulous nails you have given us!” said Kate while she used her nails to massage sensible areas and pressure points in Tiffany’s scalp.
“All done darling, say hello to the new Tiffany” Revealed Kate eagerly.
“I love it soooooo much Kate! I feel like I’ve been reborned” said Tiffany as she frantically rubbed her head with both hands. She then started to pose in front of the mirror and to take dozens of selfies with her phone, many of them with the other salon bald girls. She felt incredible as she couldn’t stop admiring herself in the mirror or touching her own head.
“Another convert” said a proud Kate
Meanwhile, at school…
Hannah was on her way out of classes and about to head to the salon to work her shift, but was suddenly approached by the principal.
“Hold on there for a second Hannah, I need to talk to you” said Principal Jenkins
“What is Miss Jenkins?” Asked a concerned Hannah to suddenly be called by the school’s principal.
“About your new haircut, it has surely grabbed the attention of other students and mine as well. May I ask why you got such a drastic cut?” She questioned her in a judgemental fashion.
“Oh well, it was kind of an impulse thing, my mom actually did the shaving for me” said Hannah while grabbing her head
“Really? I do find it hard to believe that your mother, being a hairdresser, would allow such an extravagant look” Responded an incredulous Principal Jenkins.
“Is true, she is even bald herself, in fact she was bald before me” explained Hannah as truthfully as she could manage.
“Well now, you are trying to pull my leg, listen Missy, I don’t want your new style to be a negative influence on the other students, this is a not a proper haircut for a young woman” scholded Principal Jenkins sternly
“I’m sorry to hear that you feel that way Miss, but I gotta head to work, so if you excuse me…” Replied the young bald girl trying to sneak her way out of the very awkward conversation.
“Not so fast Hannah, I need to have a serious discussion with your mother about this, in fact could you call her right now?” Ordered Principal Jenkins
Hannah dialed Linda and gave her phone to Principal Jenkins, to which she had a short conversation with.
“All settled, I’ll meet her right now in your salon, in fact I’ll give you a ride, so let’s get going” said Principal Jenkins as she and Hannah got into her car and set the way to the shop.
Principal Jenkins and Hannah entered the salon, they were greeted by Lily who invited the principal to take a seat in the waiting area, while Hannah was getting ready to begin her shift, when she suddenly saw Tiffany and realized that she was bald!
“Tiffany! O.M.G.! You shaved your head?!” exclaimed an astonished Hannah
“Yes, I just had it done by Kate, don’t you love it?!” replied Tiffany enamored with her new look, delighted to see Hannah’s shocked reaction.
“Of course I do, you look sensational! But, I don’t understand, why?! I thought you said you were never going to shave your head” asked a perplexed Hannah.
“Well let’s just say that I had a little change of heart, just as I think that your principal is about to experience for herself, watch closely” predicted Tiffany ominously with a gleeful glare on her eyes.
Principal Jenkins was astonished, as she realized Hannah was not lying and her mother was in fact bald, along with the entire salon’s staff
“Good afternoon Miss Jenkins, what can I do for you?” greeted Linda in a very cordial way.
“Uh, ahem, yes, good afternoon” She clears her throat, shakes her head a bit looking surprised. “Well I must say that I’m impressed, as I didn’t expect to find you sporting the same style as your daughter” said a still blindsided Miss Jenkins.
“Well, I admit it is quite unusual but we like it very much! We have even gone so far as to shave each other’s head everyday” described Linda happily while rubbing her hand across her shiny scalp.
“Don’t you think you are setting a bad example for your daughter?” Questioned Principal Jenkins with an indignant expression written on her face.
“What do you mean?” Asked Linda, without losing her composure.
“What I mean is that this is not the proper haircut for a young lady” She said while pointing her fingers towards Linda’s head in an exasperated fashion “For starters is lacking any amount of hair, and if there were any, it should be styled in proper fashion, what would you do if she starts influencing other students?” Jenkins demanded.
“Well, I think that would be wonderful, it certainly would be great for our business that’s for sure” She responded sincerely with an innocent giggle “Besides, you’re not implying that a woman’s value should be considered based on her hair, are you?” Replied Linda, cleverly flipping the conversation.
“Of course not, I’m just saying that, it could be considered inappropriate for most people” said Miss Jenkins a bit defensive, attempting to save some face value.
“I can assure you that we have not had any issues whatsoever, as you can see everyone in our lovely staff is bald as a cue ball, and our customers find it quite attractive, many of them have gone bald themselves” said Linda as the rest of the bald ladies in the salon smile and gave a friendly wave towards the principal, which gave her a sudden chill that went through her spine.
“Well, I…” Miss Jenkins couldn’t think of a counter argument, fearing leaving herself in a worst position that she was already in.
“I can see that this issue has been quite stressful for you, so how about this, let me give you a courtesy haircut to help you relax, maybe we can give you a “proper style” as you said earlier, something to give a good example to your students” said Linda persuasively in an considerate tone.
“I guess that…could be a good idea…very well then” Miss Jenkins accepted the offer trying to look dignified while doing so, as Linda started to guide her towards the red barber chair and then proceeded to cape her and to undo her tight bun, so that she could comb her raven black hair.
Just as Principal Jenkins sat in the chair, a weird sensation started to take over her body. It was a mix of arousal, pleasure and excitement, as she felt with each stroke of the comb more and more intoxicated with these strong feelings.
“So, any idea of what you want to get done?” asked Linda in an unsuspicious way.
“I-I’m…not sure…” said the principal in a trance-like state.
“Well, I’ll just start doing a bit of cutting and you tell me what length you feel comfortable with, ok?” said Linda as she started cutting the principal’s hair very slowly, you could hardly tell if she was losing any length.
Then, Principal Jenkins started to get anxious, she couldn’t get out of her head a feeling that something was very wrong with her hair, every passing minute was like torture for her, she needed to do something about it now right now!
“Excuse me, Linda..? I think that maybe you were right after all, my hair is definitively too long” said Miss Jenkins, tweaking anxiously in the chair.
“Oh! All right then, how about we do some snipping around the edges and then-”
“No that won’t be enough, I want you to shave my head!” interrupted abruptly the principal, almost screaming to the top of her lungs.
Hannah’s mouth dropped open all the way to the floor, absolutely flabbergasted as she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
“I’m sorry Miss Jenkins but, are you sure? You were pretty opposed to women having a bald head some minutes ago, there would be no turning back” said Linda pretending to be surprised and concerned by the educator’s sudden change and extreme change of mind.
“Oh, I was so very terribly wrong before Linda, please, I want you to get rid of all of this hair, I NEED to be bald!” asked Principal Jenkins with desperation, begging to Linda with a great deal of urgence and yearning in her voice.
And without any further ado, Linda grabbed the clippers and ran them right through the middle of the principal’s head and soon passed across the entire surface of her scalp. She then used the small battery clipper, as the principal’s hair was very dark and Linda wanted to leave as little of a shadow as possible. Miss Jenkins was overjoyed during the whole process, getting more and more extasiated as her hair left her head. Linda covered her head with the foam and used her maxi razor to be sure to do an outstanding shaving job, redoing the process three times and she was sure to make the last pass of the razor slow, so that the principal could enjoy it. And boy did she! As she closed her eyes, she was savoring each stroke and fantasizing about her eventual reveal. Linda proceeded to do the wax treatment, but on this occasion, she used three layers of the product to give the head and special kind of shine, she then placed Principal Jenkins under the hooded dryer. Afterwards, Tiffany offered to do her nails while she dried out, the principal stared directly into Tiffany’s very own sparkly head with a fascinated wide grin on her face and began complimenting her about it with much enthusiasm.
“Darling, I must say, that you look just beautiful with that bald head~!” said Miss Jenkins giggling with a blushed expression.
“Thank you Miss, I just had it shaved today and I’m totally in love with it~! And I’m sure you’ll look just as lovely once your head is done~!” said Tiffany with much passion and elation in her voice as she applied a pink polish to Miss Jenkins nails, who was just as, if not more, enthusiastic as the nails technician.
Meanwhile, the rest of the ladies were impressed as they saw these women that wanted to do nothing with shaved heads giggling in excitement how gorgeous they looked bald.
“I still don’t believe it; the chair is magical” said Hannah, still shocked by the events she had just witnessed.
“Yeah it is kid, but remember we must be careful with its use, people can get hooked with it pretty strongly” warned Kate to all of the staff with caution.
As Tiffany ended Principal Jenkins’s manicure and pedicure, the dryer alarm sounded it and Linda guided her back to the chair. Linda started to massage the principal’s head very methodically with moisturizer and lotion, using her clear rose nails to apply pressure to her sensitive scalp’s points. Miss Jenkins didn’t want this experience to ever come to an end, she truly felt like she was in paradise as the glee in her face’s beaming expression could clearly demonstrate.
“All done Miss Jenkins, welcome to the wonderful world of baldness” said Linda in a greeting tone, very satisfied with the work she had done on Miss Jean’s head, both literally and metaphorically.
Miss Jenkins approached the mirror and slowly raised her hand to delicately start rubbing her head, which had a pale shadow showcasing that it had never been touched by the sun before.
“I’m beautiful~!” said Miss Jenkins as her smile grew bigger and wider as her eyes inspected every smooth inch of her denuded crane, moving her head in different angles as she frantically admired her reflection in the mirror.
“If you wish, we could apply some make-up that matches your skin color” suggested Linda with a small smirk on her face, who was just impressed on how well the chair’s effects have worked in the principal who walked into the salon with a condescending and rude attitude towards baldness and now, she couldn’t keep her hands out of her very own bald head!
“Yes please, that would be so wonderful~!” said Principal Jenkins happily with her radiant smile not giving in even a millimeter.
Linda then used a small sponge to put some make-up cream into Principal Jenkins’s head, and pretty soon it covered all the shaved area until it matched the tone of her skin.
“My godness, I simply LOVE it~! Could you please give me some more of it to keep using until I get my head tanned~?” asked Miss Jenkins kindly as her eyes kept glued to the reflection of her hairless dome.
“No problem Miss Jenkins, is waterproof so it should hold up until tomorrow night” explained Linda as she handed her a bag filled with the make-up cream.
“No need to be so formal after today Linda, please call me Sarah~” said Miss Jenkins in an overly friendly tone as she accepted the bag with gratitude.
“All right, Sarah” She giggled at the principal’s new attitude. “What do you think of your new head style?” asked Linda with much curiosity.
“It’s fantastic~! I’m so embarrassed for my earlier comments Linda, they were absolutely inappropriate, judgmental and very out of place~” She said regretfully while holding Linda’s hands. “I owe both you and Hannah an apology, but now I understand the beauty and grace of a bald head. Thank you so much for opening my eyes and allowing me to discover the real me~” said Sarah as she hugged Linda tightly while holding her head, and even sneaking in a little rub, which made Linda’s heart skip a little.
“No problem at all Sarah, that is what we do here!” Responded Linda cheerily, a bit blushed by Sarah’s actions. “And don’t forget to book follow up appointments if you want to keep that gorgeous head of yours shining bright” said Linda, now surprised by her own comments.
“Oh yes please~! I would like to book a full month in advance~” said Sarah enthusiastically, as Lily made sure to fill out her upcoming appointment dates on the computer.
Next day, Principal Jenkins was the theme of conversation among the whole school, as she arrived sporting a completely bald head, while also using a light mascara and pink lipstick that matched her manicure and pedicure. She was wearing a pink skirted suit with open toe heels. She was beaming with happiness and she could not stop staring at herself on any reflective surface that she found during the day.
Miss Jenkins ran across Hannah in the hallway and approached to greet her.
“Hello Miss Jenkins, enjoying the new do?” asked Hannah, happy to see the principal with such brightness coming out from her, and her head!
“Immensely Hannah, I can’t thank you and your lovely mother enough~” said Miss Jenkins, using a captivated tone when referring to Linda, as the breathtaking touch of her delicate fingers on her scalp were still very present on her head.
“We are always glad to help another gal to discover that bald is beautiful! And I see your make-up is still holding up, can’t find any hint of a shadow” said Hannah, impressed by her mother’s work on Miss Jenkins’ head, as if she had gone the extra mile while doing it.
“Yes, I love it~! But to be honest, I can’t wait to give my head a good tan~” said Miss Jenkins as she caressed her head with yearning.
After saying their goodbyes, Miss Jenkins entered her office to get some paperwork done, when her assistant knocked the door and entered the room.
“Good morning Miss Jenkins, I just need you to sign these documents” said Miss Matthews approaching her desk.
“Sure thing Norah~” said Miss Jenkins upbeat as she signed the paperwork.
“Ma’am I just wanted to say that you look really pretty bald, it suits you very well and you seem so happy today” said Miss Matthews, impressed by her boss’ more jovial attitude.
“Aww, thank you Norah~! I really love it and I feel better than I ever did in my entire life~” said Miss Jenkins smiling broadly while rubbing her head with her bright pink nails.
“You know Norah, maybe you should try it, I bet you would look fabulous bald~!” She eagerly and nonchalantly suggested.
“Oh, I don’t think so Miss Jenkins, surely I would just look weird” Answered Miss Matthews with awkwardness.
“Nonsense~! I bet you would look beautiful~” Sarah replied emphatically. “I’ll even take you to my salon, my stylist just gives the best shaves and I assure you that, her chair is magical…~” said Miss Jenkins knowingly while she adored her bald self in her compact mirror, happily rubbing her head.
