An angry stylist

This is my first attempt to write a story, I hope you will like it.

Adam, a stylist fresh out of school, had been struggling for a long time to find a salon to start his career. After months of searching, he found a vacancy at a salon not far from his apartment where he lives. The manager of the salon promised Adam that he would hire him, even if he had no experience, on the condition that he would not cause any problems and that the customers would be satisfied. Adam lived in a small apartment, but despite all that, almost all his money went on rent. He cannot afford to lose his job, so he forced himself not to lose her job. The first days at the salon were easy, the haircuts requested by the customers were simple, until one day when a young lady walked through the threshold of the salon.

Adam: Hello miss

She: Hello…

Adam: How can I help you?

Her: I would like a trim and add some long layers to my hair.

Adam suddenly became very nervous. The layers are the only haircuts, it had never turned out well.

Adam, angry and nervous, said: please take a seat, make yourself comfortable.

She was also nervous because this is her first haircut after growing out her hair. Her hair was blond and the longest she had ever grown and she wanted to grow it as long as she could. At this point, her hair was down to her waist, almost reaching her hips. After taking a deep breath, she sat down gently in the chair. She was very proud of her hair, it became her prized feature and all the people that she met praised her beautiful blond hair.

He was very tensed but started his work. He did a really good job with the trim, make sure to only cut one inch of her hair length. Now came the heavy part, the layers.

He really tried, but all the layers ended up being cut blunt and uneven. She has started to cry and warned him that she would speak to the salon manager and ask him why he hired such a clumsy stylist. He knew that if the manager will found out about this mess, he would be fired immediately. When she wanted to get up from the chair, nervously, he grabbed her hair and pulled her hard, causing her head to fall back.

Adam, fuming at this moment, said angrily to her: Are you ready to say goodbye to all that hair?

She begged: What? No, please no! Ok, I won’t go to the manager. Tears fell into her lap.

Adam: It’s too late now to be sorry.

He plunged his scissors into the base of her neck, cutting her thick blonde hair. It takes two minutes to cut his thick hair. With tears in her eyes, she looked in the mirror to see the remaining hairs now brushing her chin.

Adam: Now that we got rid of the bulk, will we cut it even shorter?

Her: I beg, please, i don’t want it to be shorter than that, it’s already short enough.

Adam: Will you be quiet? Or will you rush in to my manager office to tell him what happened?

Her: Yess, i will be quiet, i won’t tell him anything.

Adam: Good, then let me shape it to look presentable.

After he finishing her job, she hurriedly got up of the chair and rushed toward the pay desk to pay and leave the building as fast as she could.

At the payment desk, she met the manager of the salon, who asked her with a smile: Are you satisfied with Adam’s performance?

She, trying to smile, said: Yes, I am. He is a very good stylist.

The manager: I saw you had very long hair when you entered the salon. What made you cut it so short?

Her: Eh, someone made me this proposal, and I couldn’t refuse it.

After she answer, she paid, and left the salon in a hurry, not wanting to spend a single second more in that salon. On the way home, she thought how many years it would take her hair to grow as long and beautiful as she had it today before she entered that salon.

At least 5 years, she said.
