Florence Keyes likes being creative on the job. She is known for her unique ability to create unorthodox but fabulous hairstyles for her clients. Her only reason to be a hairdresser is to pour her heart into her pieces of art.
One day, Ms. Mary Jane came into the shop looking for a new hairstyle. She said that her friends recommended Florence as the best in the business. The beautician was flattered and agreed to help find Mary Jane’s new style.
She walked the young woman over to a waiting chair and sat her in it. Her dainty hands gathered up all the chestnut-colored hair and put it all up to before applying a silver cape to the young lady’s body. Hair down, Florence said,”You have such a beautiful face. Let’s treat you like royalty hm”
”Do what you think is best”,Mary Jane consented,”I am in your hands”
Nodding, the hairdresser used a comb to section off the hair in the top center of her customer’s head and put it up into a ponytail using a hair-tie. She made sure the ponytail was tight before she reached for her small clippers. The clippers came to life with a hum and surgically cut into the border of the section. Florence lifted up the limp ponytail when all its bindings were cut.
The center of Mary Jane’s scalp was bare with only a short, fine layer of stubble to protect against the draft of the room. Next, the hairdresser silenced her tool and sorted the remaining hair into two categories. What hair that was designated to not be cut at the moment was pulled up and over to cover the bald spot on the top of Mary Jane’s head. The rest of the hair hung loose, just waiting for its fate.
Florence grabbed the clippers again and switch them on. They went up the back and sides of the young woman’s head. Hair fell like rain to the floor and blanketed it. The beautician felt up the stubbly skin, was satisfied, and turned the clippers off again, putting them away. Letting the remaining long hair fall down to its length, the hairdresser picked up her shears and cut the hair very short.
After the cutting, Florence put a towel over Mary Jane’s right shoulder. She opened a cabinet and brought out a can of shaving foam. The stubble-ridden spots had a dollop of foam dropped into their vicinity and it was spread to cover the entire area. Florence removed the foam with a razor and left the zones smoothly shaved.
The hairdresser removed the towel, turned the chair around, lifted up a movable board that covered up a basin, and reclined the chair. She lathered Mary Jane’s head with sweet-smelling shampoo and rinsed the hair nicely. A towel wrapped around the young woman’s head. Florence raised the chair and turned it back to face the mirror. With surprisingly strong hands, the beautician dried her client’s head dutifully. Removal of the towel resulted in a turned down, uneven crown.
Mrs. Keyes fixed the hair so that it was divided evenly over Mary Jane’s head. A trolley was brought out. The hairdresser got straight to work to put the remaining hair into short, tight curlers around the young woman’s head. An elixir was then squirted into the hair.
A shower cap was placed over the forming creation as the solution worked beautifully. When the heat dryer processing was completed, Florence removed the shower cap and curlers. The final product was a ring of tight curls going around the circumference of Mary Jane’s head. She was truly a queen.
Mary Jane loved her new hair and gently caressed the fragile curls while smiling widely. She said,”You are a miracle worker, Florence. These curls are so precious and I truly love them”
”I’m glad you like your new do”,Florence smiled as she removed the cape,”Now, these curls will not last forever so I want you to come back in two weeks so that we can shave them off”
”Shave them off?!”Mary Jane was stunned,”But I would like to keep them for as long as I can”
”I’m really sorry, sweetheart”,Florence was sympathetic to her customer’s plight,”But constantly reperming your hair over and over again will eventually ruin your hair in the long run. Besides, you don’t want to go out into public with a limp, dead crown”
”Well, I guess you’re right”,Mary Jane replied with a sigh,”I’ll have to enjoy them while I still have them”
”That’s my girl”,Florence kissed her girl on the forehead,”Now, go show off this hairstyle to your friends”
