Gabriela’s Obsession #0: The First
Gabriela checked her reflection in the barbershop mirror as she carefully adjusted her braid. Her dark brown hair, long down to her buttocks, was pulled back in a tight braid that fell down her back, giving her a professional yet subtly sensual air. Her attire, a black button-down blouse and tight-fitting dress pants, highlighted her figure in a sophisticated way. Today was just another day at her unisex barbershop, but she knew that, at any moment, everything could change.
There was something about long hair that fascinated her, a hidden desire she could barely explain. She didn’t share it with anyone, but deep inside, she felt an almost compulsive need to cut, to shave those feminine manes she admired so much. It was like a secret ritual that she had learned to enjoy over time, without anyone suspecting her true intentions.
The barbershop door opened, and the soft tinkling of the bell announced the arrival of a new customer. Gabriela turned around with a sweet, friendly smile, as a young woman in her early twenties, with long blonde hair reaching her waist, shyly entered.
-Hello, welcome,” Gabriela greeted in a soft voice, “How can I help you today?
-Hi,” replied the girl, a bit nervous, “I just wanted a trim. Nothing too drastic, just the ends.
Gabriela studied her carefully. The girl’s hair was beautiful, shiny and long, something that made him feel a strange mixture of admiration and desire. She gestured for her to sit in the chair, while she placed a white cloak around her shoulders.
-You have beautiful hair,” commented Gabriela as she began to comb it. You must take good care of it.
The girl smiled, somewhat more relaxed.
-Thank you. Yes, I like to keep it long, but I think it’s time for a little change.
-Sure,” Gabriela replied, with a soft look. Have you ever considered a shorter style? It could enhance your features, make you look even more amazing.
The girl let out a small nervous laugh, as she shook her head.
-Oh no, I just want a trim. Nothing too bold.
Gabriela continued to comb her hair in silence, nodding. The sound of the scissors snipping the ends echoed in the air, and with each strand that fell, Gabriela felt her desire intensify. Her smile was still on her face, but inside, she was up to something much more radical.
-You know…” began Gabriela, in a lower tone, “I’ve had some clients who have dared to try a completely new style. At first they were nervous, but when they saw themselves in the mirror… they were delighted.
-Brand new? -I don’t know, I think I like my hair long.
Gabriela left the scissors on the table and picked up the electric razor with one hand, without the girl noticing.
-Trust me,” Gabriela said, leaning slightly toward her. A shorter cut could change your life. It would make you look more mature, more confident. Besides, hair grows fast, doesn’t it?
The girl bit her lip, unsure. She seemed tempted by the idea, but not yet fully convinced.
-I don’t know,” she mumbled, “I’m not sure I want anything so drastic.
Gabriela, taking advantage of the moment of doubt, turned on the razor, and the soft buzzing sound filled the room. Gabriela’s gaze changed in that instant. The gentleness in her eyes faded, giving way to a calculated coldness.
-You don’t need to decide anymore,” he said, with a sinister smile.
Before the girl could react, Gabriela moved the clippers to the nape of the girl’s neck and slid it upward, taking strands of blonde hair with it. The sound of the clippers cutting through the hair was followed by the soft clacking of the locks falling to the floor.
-Wait, what are you doing! -shouted the girl, trying to get up from the chair, but Gabriela held her firmly.
-Relax,” Gabriela whispered, still smiling. This is what you need. Trust me.
The girl was trying to pull away, but Gabriela was surprisingly strong. The clippers continued to advance, mercilessly cutting the long, shiny hair. The golden locks cascaded down, while the girl’s eyes filled with tears.
-Please don’t!” the girl sobbed, staring in horror at the tresses on the floor, “Stop it!
Gabriela, now fully into her sadistic side, ignored her pleas. Each pass of the clippers was a step closer to the transformation, one that Gabriela deeply enjoyed. She felt a kind of ecstasy as she watched the girl’s hair disappear under the clippers, leaving her skull almost naked.
When she finished, Gabriela turned off the clippers and released the girl, who held her hands to her head, touching her shaved scalp in disbelief.
-What… what have you done to me? -murmured the girl in tears.
Gabriela, with a cold, calculated smile, leaned toward her, observing the result with satisfaction.
-I’ve done you a favor,” he replied, his voice soft but firm. You are now free of the weight of that mane.
The girl, completely devastated, got up from her chair and ran out of the barbershop, still touching her head. Gabriela watched her go, her smile transforming back into the sweet expression it had been at the beginning.
Calmly, she began to sweep up the strands of hair that had been left scattered on the floor. He knew this would not be the last time he would enjoy something like this. It was just the beginning.
