Kelly and I were relaxing and watching a football game on a Saturday afternoon when Kelly’s phone chirped. It was our friend Sally. Kelly and Sally spoke for a few minutes when Kelly gasped and then started to laugh. And then she said it would be fine he would love to do it for you.
When she clicked off the call, I asked her what was so funny. She told me that Sally’s two daughters, Gina and Lori got into a scissor fight and both of the girls destroyed each other’s hair. Sally wants to bring them over and have you see what you can doo to fix it for her. It was late and most shops are closed and she said they look pretty bad. I asked Kelly when they would be here and she told me in about half an hour.
This gave me time to get out my hair supplies and set up shop just outside the kitchen with a kitchen stool and mirror. The doorbell chimed and it was Sally with her two daughters, Gina was 14 and Lori was 12. Each girl looked like they were in a definite scissor fight. Gina’s blond hair that used to be about to her mid back was now just hacked to her shoulders with a couple places where the cuts were to the scalp. Then there was Lori. Lori is a little smaller than Gina and Gina had held her down and just grabbed her shoulder length brown hair and pulled it up and hacked it off. She looked like a sheared sheep! As for who started this war, no one confessed. So, Sally decided that both were going to get their heads shaved as punishment.Their eyes were red as if they had been crying.
Sally asked me if I was OK with this and I said if this is what she wanted, then I will do whatever you want. I asked whoo was going first? Lori very sheepishly stood up and walked over to the stool and sat down. I wrapped my cape around her neck and fastened it and brushed her hair a little bit.
I picked up the clippers and looked at Sally. She nodded yes and I flipped them on. The sound made Lori jump a little and then I saw tears on her cheeks. I gently held the back of her head as I pushed the clippers with no guard on them, through the middle of her head leaving a light brown strip of fuzz. I did this several more times over the top and then as she leaned her head forward, shaved up the back of her head and then the sides. I turned the clippers off and picked up my trimmer and trimmed around her ears and her neck. She was finished and she looked cute.
Gina’s turn. She climbed onto the stool and I did the same to her. I fastened the cape gently around her neck and brushed her hair and I noticed that some of the scissor slices were down to the scalp and were closer than the clippers would cut. I picked up the clippers and flipped them on. I again ran the clippers over the top of Gina’s head leaving a 3″ swath of almost white hair. Several more passes and I was finished with the top and began the sides and back. While doing the sides, after one pass, the totally bald spot was very noticeable and I asked Sally to look at these spots. She looked at me and told me to do what I had to do. She looked at Gina and said you pay to play! After I was finished using the clippers, I picked up the trimmer and began to shave Gina with this and what was left was stubble less than a 1mm in length. After using this for several minutes I turned it off and then picked up the skull shaver. I turned it on and the powerful growl of the motor turning 7 blades began to do its work. About 3 minutes later, Gina’s head was smooth as a cue ball. I used scalp treatment to massage Gina’s head and make it feel cool. Gina was finished and when she felt her head and looked at herself in the mirror, smiled and said that she looked good! And she really did.
Sally finished her wine that Kelly had given her while she watched her punishment carried out! She looked at the girls and said they really looked good and this should help speed them up in the mornings! And she also said that this should put an end to the scissor wars. Sally asked if she could get her hair cut one day? Kelly told her to just give us a call.
With that, they put on their coats and went out the door.
