Two barberettes, Shelly and Janice, have been hard at work all summer tending to the men and women of their small town. Not a single customer left their barbershop without having the clippers used on them in some way. The ironic thing about this was that Shelly had long Jet balck straight hair with curled bangs. Janice on the other hand, was sporting a haircut more appropriate for her profession. She had a short pixie cut that faded to a #1 at her sideburns and nape.
Sunday was one of their biggest days of the week, so they decided to take their time closing the shop that day. They closed on mondays so it meant sundays were the ‘extra’ cleaning days. Shelly would mop the floor and clean the mirrors, and Janice would clean all the capes and restock their stations. Janice sat in her barber with the pile of capes on the bench in front of her. She tied a tissue around her neck then draped the large cape of her and fastened it tight. Janice always applied a tissue to her neck when cleaning the capes as she said it protected her neck from scratching, but Shelly knew that Janice secretly enjoyed the tissue and tight cape around her neck.
Shelly was cleaning the mirror next to Janice’s station when she looked at her cleaning the cape with a wet cloth. A few moments later Janice sat back into the bulky barber chair, her petite body being engulfed by the leather backrest. She tucked her hands under the cape and placed them on the silver armrests. As she assessed her overgrown pixie, she made eye contact with Shelly and said “can you clip my hair?” Shelly smiled and put the spray and cloth down. She walked behind Janice’s chair and pulled the back of the cape out from behind her and straightened it out. Shelly walked to the counter and picked up Janice’s bulky Oster clippers. She looked at Janice in the mirror and asked, “you want me to shave you bald, correct?”. They both laughed a little then she attached the #1 metal guard and flicked them to life. No matter how many times the two ladies heard that loud whirring Oster sound, They would smile with excitement.
Shelly returned to the side of Janice’s barber chair and placed the vibrating clippers at her left sideburn. She pushed them into her ¼ inch stubble, up to about 2 inches above her ear line. She continued to shave to this line, moving around her ear and towards the back. Shelly moved behind Janice and pushed her head down into her chest. Janice smiled as she always loved her head being sternly pushed into her chest while receiving a haircut. Shelly buzzed her nape all the way to her crown, joining with the new hairline. She made quick work of the right side as she finished up and flicked off the clippers. She walked to the counter and removed the #1 guard. She opened Janice’s clipper drawer and found the #00000 guard. This guard would shave you right down to the wood. She turned around and Janice saw the balding guard on her clippers. Janice was filled with a mountain of emotions as she was wondering if she was going to be shaved.
Shelly flicked the clippers on again and started in the same position as before. However, this time she only took the clippers up to her ear line. She continued to shave her sideburn and nape to bare skin. It pretty much looked like her hairline had been pushed up 2 inches. Janice couldn’t help but smile at her new look in the mirror. She was almost bald on the sides of her head.
Shelly finished with the #00000 guard and returned to the bench again. Janice thought the cut was over until she heard the Clippers come to life for a third time. This time, Shelly placed the clippers at Janice’s forehead and plunged them into her short fringe. Instantly, Janice thought for sure she was being shaved. It wasn’t until the clippers passed her hairline that she realized that Shelly was using the #4 guard. She was getting a long crewcut and she loved it. Shelly ran the clippers over Janice’s head in every direction to ensure she got every last strand. She finished up, dusted Janice off and removed the cape and tissue.
Janice thanked Shelly as she sat in her barber chair and rubbed her head. She was over the moon with her new cut. Before she got out of her chair, Janice looked to her left and saw Shelly sitting in her own barber chair. She had her hands on the armrests and her legs crossed on the footrest. “Can you cut mine now?” was all she said.
Janice eagerly jumped out of her chair and brought a tissue and one of her capes with her to Shelly’s barber chair. Janice tied secure the tissue around her neck tightly then clipped the cape in the same fashion. Shelly had never received a haircut from Janice but she always watched as she fastened the tissue and cape to her clients. There was something dominating about it. It was like from then on, she was in charge. A strange sensation came over Shelly as she smiled in the mirror at Janice. “So just a regular cut young lady?” asked Janice. “Yes please ma’am” joining in her charade. At this point, Shelly being naive, assumed that Janice was just going to give her a trim as that’s what she thought a regular cut was.
Janice walked to her bench and picked up her oster clippers that were just used on her. Shelly was caught in the moment of being caped by her fellow barber that she didn’t know what Janice was doing at her station. When Janice returned to Shelly’s chair and saw a massive grin on Shelly’s face. Janice came beside her, and before Shelly even noticed, Janice had plugged in her clippers and turned them on. The forever known sound of those vintage clippers filled the room once again. Shelly’s smile quickly disappeared. She jumped in shock and looked up at her barber. She saw Janice staring at her forehead while holding her Oster clippers. As Shelly looked closer, she saw that Janice had re-attached the #00000 balding guard.
“What are you doing?!” asked Shelly in a state of shock. “I’m giving you a regular cut. The most regular cut I could think of is a headshave” replied Janice, the whirring clippers were placed at Shelly’s forehead and pushed back in one swift, smooth motion. Shelly’s mouth instantly opened wide at this sight. Not a single hair was left behind apart from a shiny white strip going down the middle of her head. With all the emotion running through her head, the one that stood out over everything else was the sensation of the warm clippers on her head. She couldnt believe how amazing it felt. Janice continued to shave the top of Shelly’s head to the wood as she watched her face go from shock to happiness and excitement. Janice placed the clippers at her right sideburn. She watched Shelly’s face as she pushed them into her hair. Janice always enjoyed watching her customers wince at the feeling of the clippers on their sideburn. Janice was so happy when she saw Shelly wince. It was the cutest face she had ever seen. Janice continued to shave Shelly bald as she worked around her ear, leaving nothing behind but shiny rubbery skin. She pushed Shelly’s head into her chest just like Shelly did to her during her haircut. Janice made sure to be a bit forceful with her hand as she shaved the back of her head. Shelly smiled again at this feeling of being overpowered. Her smile grew bigger as she looked at the huge pile of jet black hair laying dormant in her lap. She couldnt believe that a few minutes ago, all of that gorgeous hair was on her head. She could even spot her bangs in the mess of hair.
As Janice finished the back of Shelly’s head she raised it upright. Shelly then saw that she was almost bald. All except for the remaining hair around her left ear. Janice placed her hand sternly on the top of Shelly’s head and pushed the clippers into her sideburn, while also watching Shelly wince for a second time. She finished clipping Shelly’s head when she moved behind and placed her hand under Shelly’s chin. She grabbed her chin firmly and held her head straight. Shelly was surprised at this as she had never seen Janice do this to her clients. She enjoyed it though. Janice then ran the clippers all over her head again to tidy it up.
Janice finished the tidy up and turned the clippers off. She walked to Shelly’s side while still holding her chin. Janice pulled Shelly’s chin up so their eyes locked. Shelly had such a timid yet happy look on her face. “Aww. you look so handsome” said Janice in a soft tone. She removed the cape and tissue from Shelly and grabbed the broom. Shelly remained in her barber chair and assessed her new ‘haircut’. Wow that #00000 guard really does leave nothing behind. She shaved me right down to the wood. While Shelly was rubbing her head, Janice returned with the broom and handed it to Shelly. “Time to sweep up this mess, my little woody”
