A Lot to Digest
Sunday night the entire team was gathered in the living room. No one was really sure what the meeting was about, but it must have been important. Lisa, the cheer sponsor, was there. She was almost never at the house. Her presence indicated the seriousness of whatever was about to unfold. Dressed in her typical Business suit, & Shoulder length, black, bobbed hair, she definitely stuck out in this group. She was on one of the couches deep in conversation with Coach Beth, whose bleached blonde hair was in its usual long ponytail. She was dressed in her now typical track suit.
The rest of the team filtered into the room & sat down. All were dressed casually in a various mix of tank tops & sports bras, shorts & leggings. Katie, Betty & Heather were all gathered on one couch, with Annie, Elsa & Jessie sharing the other. Anna & Janie shared the recliner. Jenny & Melissa were on the third couch, next to Shandra, who was in her usual armchair. Emma, who normally sat on the couch next to Coach, was instead seated on the stool, next to Katie.
“Ok, girls, I’m sorry to gather you all here. We have quite a lot to discuss, some of which was going to wait, but since we are all gathered here, might as well get it out in the open. Normally, I would turn things over to Emma, however, we have a very special guest with us tonight. I believe you are all familiar with, Lisa, our cheer sponsor & one of the school administrators.” Coach Beth turned & indicated Lisa, who nodded. “She’s actually the one who called this meeting & why we are here. So, Lisa, I’ll turn this over to you.” Lisa & Beth swapped spots.
“Thanks, Beth.” Lisa turned & faced the girls & smiled. “Well, ladies, it certainly has been quite a season so far, hasn’t it.” She looked around the room & continued. “The football team has had quite the turnaround from a season ago. Some would say you may have had something to do with it. The team is currently 7 & 2, unfortunately after yesterday’s brutal loss.” She paused before continuing. “The team has a real shot at a post season this year, but we have no more margin for error. Another loss & it’s over. It has not been lost that our two losses came at the two games you didn’t attend.” Lisa let out a deep breath. “We want you to attend our final away game in two weeks.” There were murmurs & quite discussion from the group. “Now, I know you weren’t supposed to have any more travel games on your schedule, & I’m even more aware that this particular game happens to fall over Thanksgiving weekend.”
A dozen hands shot up. “Lisa, may I interject for a minute?” Beth spoke up from the couch. Lisa turned to her & nodded. “I understand this is a big ask, & it’s a bit of short notice, but before any of you react, please listen to the rest of this & understand what a huge honor this actually is.”
“She’s right. Look, believe it or not, I’m your biggest supporter. The school is covering all of your expenses & you’ll each receive a small stipend for your time. Should the football team continue on to a postseason, you will of course also be expected to attend those games as well.” Lisa paused. “Of course, should the team lose next week, or any other of their remaining games then none of this will matter. Now, I’m going to go back over there & turn this meeting back over to your coach.”
Coach Beth stood up, & switched spots with Lisa, once again. She nodded over to Emma, who joined her at the front of the room. “Alright, girls. I have a few important things to say but first let me follow up on what Lisa just said. We will all gather here on Thursday. I’m bringing my entire family. We will share a nice family meal all together for Thanksgiving. Then, Friday afternoon we will fly out for the game on Saturday night. We’ll stay over & come back here on Sunday afternoon. I know it’s not ideal, but I tried to find a way to make it most palatable.”
“We’ll double up on the rooms, & I’ll let you all know your roommate as soon as I can.” Emma chimed in. “I know this a big change, I only just found about it myself right before you did, but I hope you’ll get on board with it.”
“Right, & since we’re all here, I might as well clue you all in on a few other things.” Beth let out a deep breath. “First, I want to start off by saying, it has been my absolute honor to be your coach these past few years. This team in particular has been a total joy & you should all be extremely proud of yourselves. That being said, I have come to the difficult decision, that I will be stepping down as your coach after the competition concludes.” Beth paused a moment to let her words sink in. “However, this decision has been made easier by the knowledge that I leave you in the most capable hands & my replacement is someone you all know & love.” She took a quick step to the side & flared her hands “Emma!”
‘Thanks, coach.” Emma blushed. “I’m very honored & excited for this new endeavor, but for now, nothing changes. Now, about our competition…” She looks over to her coach who nods in approval. “So, we’ll be expanding our roster a bit. We’re going Co-ed!” The rest of the team all sat in silence before looking at each other & murmuring to themselves. “We need to add three guys to our team.”
“Our Boyfriends will do it.” Both Jenny & Jessie’s hands shot up as they spoke in unison. It was the first ‘twin’ thing they had done in weeks. They both looked at each other & giggled. “If they don’t want to do it, we’ll make them.” Jessie continued.
“Yeah, their season will be done soon, & we won’t be, so it will be a good way to keep them occupied.” Jenny added.
“& for us to keep an eye on them.” Jessie finished as they both laughed again.
“Well, ok, girls. Thanks for that.” Emma smirked. “But please don’t force them. It’s a big responsibility & you may not get to spend as much time with them as you think.”
“It’s ok, they’ll do it.” Jenny assured her captain.
“Alright then, but we’ll still need one more.” Emma declared “we have some time though; they won’t be joining us until after the new year.” Emma paused, & looked over at Coach Beth “Now, I know we’ve thrown a lot at you. Does anyone have any questions about anything, that was just discussed?” Everyone looked around, but no one said anything. “Ok, Anna, any updates on the head shave fundraiser?”
Anna stood up. “Well, besides me, Janie & Katie have already committed. It’s going to be the Friday night before our final game. So, it’s a little less than three weeks away. It’s not too late to sign up if anyone else is interested, but also there’s still time if anyone still wants to think about it.”
“I’m in.” Annie’s hand shot up. “I’ve come this far. I don’t want to miss out.”
“Ok, Annie. Thank you, are you sure?” Anna asked.
“Yeah,” Annie rubbed her head. “My hair is already pretty short, but it’s early enough, I still have time to give it a little growth, if desired, before I graduate.”
“Cool. Well, that’s all I’ve got, for now.” Anna looked around the room. “I’m always here, though & my Socials are always looking for content.” She sat back down. “Thanks Emma.”
“No problem, Anna.” Emma rubbed her own shaved dome & smiled. “Should be an exciting time.” Katie’s hand went up as Emma looked in her direction. “Katie, I think I know what you’re going to say. Evan’s not coming & who’s going to manage our hair.” Katie’s hand went down. “Well, I’ve thought about that. I think we can all manage, if we help each other out. Most of us have not much hair to speak of” she grinned while rubbing her own shaved head & glancing between Shandra, Betty, & Heather. “I know some of us have been gaining experience. Heather? Do you think you can fill in? with Katie & everyone else’s assistance?” Everyone turned to look at Heather, wondering what would come out of her mouth this time.
“Um…” Heather sunk down in the couch just a bit, still not used to all the attention, but not wanting to pass up the opportunity & knowing that the team was counting on her. “Sure, I guess,” Heather replied. “If I can get some help.”
“I’ll pitch in. I already help Evan & I’ve been watching for all your haircuts.” Katie added. “Plus, it’s really good timing, as I’m taking Heather over to Evan’s Salon tomorrow so she can start her training.”
“That’s great.” Emma smiled. “Any objections?” She raised the question to the crowd as she looked around. She looked back towards Coach Beth & then to Lisa, checking to see if they had any further comments to add. “Ok, then, I guess that’s it.” She clapped her hands & dismissed the meeting. As the team dispersed there was a lot of excitement in the air & buzz over all the major announcements that had just taken place.
Jessie & Jenny got up & went over to Emma as the meeting broke up. “Hey, Emma” they both said in unison.
“Hey, what’s up?” Emma turned to face the sisters. “Don’t worry, I already figure you two to room together. Is that what you wanted?”
“Actually, no.” Jessie answered for both of them. “Just the opposite.”
“We were hoping we could room separately.” Jenny filled in.
“Yeah, we’ve always been each other’s roommates, even going all the way back to the womb.” Jessie continued.
“Living here, this is actually the first time, we haven’t roomed with each other.” Jenny continued alternating sentences.
“So, if we have to have a roommate, we were hoping it could be with someone else.”
“We’ve never experienced that before.”
Emma looked back & forth between the two throughout the exchange, “I’ll see what I can do,” then smiled “but I think I can make that happen.”
“Thanks Emma!” They both squealed as they skipped away. Sure, they wanted to differentiate themselves from each other but there was no denying they were still twins.
The Start Of An Overwhelming First Day
Heather had trouble sleeping that night. She was exhausted but sleep refused to come. She was looking forward to Monday & continuing to explore her newfound interest. She rubbed her scruffy head & smiled. She couldn’t believe how long her hair used to be. It would NEVER be that long again & she was looking forward to helping others part with their hair as well, something that was completely unexpected. Finally, she drifted off to sleep only to be awoken by the blaring of her alarm & knocking on her door.
“Just a minute, Emma!” Heather bolted out of bed. “I’ll meet you downstairs in five minutes!” Heather quickly got out of bed & got herself ready. She looked forward to her daily run, not just for the bonding time with Emma, but she was genuinely starting to enjoy it & she started to notice the change to her body. She no longer had any trouble keeping up & with her much shorter stride was actually getting faster.
When they returned, Heather grabbed her gear & met Emma in her room for her morning shave, then visited with Shandra to do the same. Finally, she returned to her room to get herself ready. She put on a bright green Lace Bandeau top & a short black miniskirt. She stopped in front of the mirror & smiled. She ran her hand over her stubbly head. It was hard to believe this was how she looked now, but she absolutely loved it & wouldn’t want it any other way. She grabbed her bag & headed out the door of her bedroom, down the hall, down the stairs, out the front door & was off to class.
Time seemed to move slow. Heather tried her best to pay attention & was always a strong student, however, she found herself having difficulty paying attention & lacked focus. She was just too distracted for what was coming later. She couldn’t help looking around at all her classmates, noticing all their hair which once was considerably shorter than her own, but now seemed ridiculously long. If she ever even got the slightest inclining that any of them fancied a change she wouldn’t hesitate to step forward & advocate for it.
The afternoon finally arrived & Heather made her way back to the house after her classes were done. Katie was waiting for her. “Come on, girl. Evan’s waiting for you.” Katie informed. “He’s got a client coming in soon, that he thinks you’ll enjoy.”
“OK, I’ll be right there!” Heather began. “Can I just have a few minutes?” She scurried off to the kitchen for a quick snack, then made her way to her room, to drop off her belongings & quickly change. She emerged from her room, in a dark blue plunge bralette & matching booty shorts.
“Wow, Heather, you’re really embracing this minimal clothing look, aren’t you?” Katie remarked upon seeing her teammate race down the stairs.
As Heather got to the bottom of the stairs, she blushed. “I’m sorry, is this not appropriate? I can go change.” She started to turn & head back upstairs.
“No!” Katie shouted after Heather. “No, you’re fine. Let’s just go. Evan has the perfect client for you.” They headed out the door & towards Katie’s car. “I just can’t believe how much you’ve changed.” Heather looks over at her. “Not in any way a bad thing. You just went from one extreme to another.”
“It’s weird. You’re right. I never would have dreamed when I came here that I’d look this way. Honestly, even cutting my hair a little bit & dressing a little differently is not something I would have seen happening.” Heather confessed “However, I must admit, I feel more like my true self, now then I ever have in my life.”
“That’s really great, Heather.” Katie said. “For what it’s worth, I really like this person you’re becoming.”
Blank Canvas
Katie pulled up to Evan’s Salon. Heather & Katie both got out of the car & Katie guided Heather inside.
“Hi, Katie! It’s been a while.” Lacey, Evan’s long-time receptionist, with her chin length bob and short bangs, dyed half black & half green, split right down the middle of her head, greeted them. “Is this another one of your teammates? She doesn’t appear to have much hair left to deal with.”
“Hey, Lacey. Yes, this is Heather. Evan actually already took care of her. Would you believe her hair used to fall past her ass? Way longer than mine was originally.” Katie filled in. “She used to completely cover up as well. Not a bit of skin showing besides her hands & face.”
“No way.” Lacey gasped. “I can’t imagine. This look so suits you.” Lacey stood up & made her way over. “I can’t imagine covering any of this up. I wish I could look as good as you.”
Heather blushed. “Thank You. It’s an adjustment but everyone has been so positive, it makes it easier.” She looked up at Lacey “I like your hair.”
“Thanks.” Suddenly, Lacey pulled back a bit & headed back behind her desk.
“Oh, Heather.” Katie chimed in. “Don’t worry, it’s been almost a year since I’ve been coming here. Lacey here hasn’t changed a thing about her hair in all that time.” Turning towards Lacey, “although why I have no idea.” Lacey chuckled uncomfortably. Just then Evan walked in from the back. Katie turned & started towards him. They embraced & she kissed him.
“Hi, Heather.” Evan greeted her from around Katie. “I hope you’re looking forward to this. I’ve got a great appointment coming up I think you’ll enjoy.”
“Yeah, she just called. She’s running a little late but promises she’s still on her way.” Lacey interjected.
“Ok, that’s fine. Thanks for letting me know.” Evan walked towards Heather, “That’s actually good. It will give us a few minutes to get situated. You sticking around, babe?” He asked Katie as he guided Heather towards the back.
“Oh, I wish I could. I really wish I could be here for this, but I’ll be back in a few hours to pick Heather back up.” Katie turned towards Heather “I expect to be filled in on EVERYTHING, so take notes.” She winked at Heather.
“Oh, um, ok.” Heather looked around. “I don’t have –”
Katie laughed. “Relax, I’m just joking about the notes. Have fun, though, & enjoy yourself.” She turned & exited the salon as Evan & Heather continued back towards Evan’s room.
“Take a seat on the couch.” Evan started as he opened the door & led Heather into his room. “I think we should have a few minutes to settle in, before Nicole gets here.” Heather walked over to the couch & sat down, while Evan sat in his chair & turned to face her. “So, how are you doing Heather? It’s been quite the few weeks for you, hasn’t it?”
“Um, yeah, I guess.” Heather responded feeling a bit uneasy.
“So, let me tell you a bit about the girl coming in.” Evan sensed Heather’s uneasiness & tried to calm her nerves. “Her name is Nicole. I’ve been cutting her sister’s hair for years. Nicole’s hair is quite long, not quite as long as your hair was, but still rather long by most standards, & very Blonde. As far as I’m aware it’s all natural, virgin hair & she’s taken very good care of it her entire life.”
“Sounds a bit like mine used to be.” Heather piped up, showing keen interest.
“Yes, & after a lot of talking & encouragement she’s ready for a big change.” Evan continued. “Not quite as extreme as yours, but still, she’s ready to go quite short. So, you’ll get to help out with that.” Heather got wide-eyed. At the same time, there was a buzz. Evan got up from the chair & headed for the door. “Ok, I think she’s here. You can come or wait here; I’ll be right back.” Evan opened the door & headed out. Heather quickly got up & scurried after him.
“Hi, Evan. I’m so sorry I’m late. Thanks for waiting.” The tall statuesque blonde greeted Evan. Dressed in a pair of tight jeans & a white lace crop top with spaghetti straps, her long stick straight hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, that fell halfway down her back.
“Nicole, so happy to see you. It’s a big day, are you ready to change your life?” Evan replied.
“Oh, Evan. It’s just a haircut. Don’t be so dramatic.” Nicole giggled & gently fake poked Evan in the arm.
“It’s not JUST a haircut, dear, but I’m glad you feel that way. It means you’re ready.” Sensing the small body behind him. “By the way, I’d like to introduce you to Heather.” As he turned towards her. “She’ll be helping us out today.”
“Pleased to meet you.” Nicole stretched out her hand to shake, which Heather took. “I love your look. You are so adorable.” She smiled “& please call me Nikki.”
Evan led the girls back towards his room. Upon entering, Heather headed back towards the couch while Evan nodded towards the chair, which Nicole went over to & sat down.
A Picture Is Worth 30 (ish) Dates
Jenny & Emma sat with Candice pouring over pictures. They were in the process of editing the calendar & trying to find the right image for each month.
“This is harder than I expected it to be.” Jenny stated. “There are so many good options.”
“You have an embarrassment of riches.” Candice echoed. “This is not a bad thing.” She shifted between multiple shots of Elsa on the computer “Honestly, I don’t think you can go wrong, no matter what you pick. Damn, she is just so photogenic.”
“We could select multiple images per month?” Emma suggested.
“Yes, that is an option, but in this case probably not the best one.” Candice explained. “You’re kind of going for ‘pin up’ status & as such, you’re much better off with one large image filling the entire page then a bunch of smaller images.” She continued “You probably can’t go wrong no matter what you select, all of these girls will be coveted no matter what.”
“That’s a fair point. We should model our months when we sell them.” Jenny put it bluntly.
“No.” Emma insisted “It’s one thing to dress like this & pose for a shoot & I think we all had fun. It’s another to flaunt it so obviously around campus. We don’t need to objectify ourselves to sell these calendars.”
“Don’t you think that’s exactly what’s happening though?” Candice questioned.
“It’s one thing to suspect it & provide the foundation for it, it’s another to promote it & lean into it.” Emma responded. “Plausible deniability.”
“Whatever” Candice shook her head in disbelief.
So How Committed Are You, REALLY?
Anna & Janie had become very close friends. They were probably among the closest on the team. That bond had only grown since Janie agreed to shave her head for the team fundraiser & had become a regular on all of Anna’s Social Media accounts. Janie was having fun & enjoyed teasing all of Anna’s followers about what was to come. She was looking forward to shaving her head, which part of her still found a bit weird to think about, but she was fully committed & had no doubts she wanted to do it. She figured it was worth trying & would help the team, so why not. Little did she know Anna had an idea that could test that commitment.
Janie & Anna were both hanging out in Anna’s bedroom. Anna was sitting at her desk editing some of her latest content, while Janie was sprawled out on Anna’s bed, flipping through a magazine. “Hey Janie. I have a question for you.” Anna started innocently enough.
“Sure, Anna, what’s up?” Janie replied, without looking up.
“So, I know you want to shave your head.” Anna began “& the way you’ve been teasing it on here, I’d say you’re fairly well committed to it.”
“Absolutely” Janie replied without any thought.
“Right, & that’s great of you, but I was curious.” Anna paused, trying to find the right words for what she wanted to ask. “Then what?”
“What do you mean?” Janie stopped flipping & looked up at Anna.
“Well,” Anna took a deep breath. “Last time, when I did this, I ended up keeping it for two weeks. Katie did a full week, but that was for a different reason.” She paused for a moment. “Anyway, she & I were the only bald ones at the time, & most of the team still hadn’t even gone short yet.”
“Ok, so you want to know how long I plan to keep it bald?” Janie tried to surmise. “I can do a week or two. No problem.” She was very eager to please & willing to go along with anything.
“That’s great.” Anna smiled back at Janie, happy her friend was so gung-ho, then got serious. “But that’s a minimum.”
“So, how long were you thinking?” Janie, for the first time, showed the slightest bit of doubt & nervousness.
“Well, that would depend.” Anna responded. “What if the more money we raised the longer we stayed?” Janie sat up, intrigued. “We’d do it individually & set really high bars.”
“It’d be like a mini competition between us, to see who can raise the most!” Janie added suddenly very interested.
“Yes! Exactly” Anna nodded in agreement “With a maximum number set so that none of us get ‘stuck’ bald forever.”
“That’s good. I don’t think I’ll want to be bald forever.” Janie said, “or at least, it would be nice to have the option.”
“Exactly, I heard about this woman who had the best of intentions, but while raising a lot of money was forced into daily shaves for over a decade.” Anna informed.
“Wow. Yeah, let’s hopefully avoid that!” Janie leaned closer now completely invested in the conversation. “So how long were you thinking?”
‘Well, I’m not entirely sure. I don’t think it should be my decision alone. I think we should all offer feedback & I wanted to get your thoughts first, since you’ve become my best friend on the team & were so quick to sign on.” Anna praised. “If everyone was willing, though, I had thought maybe around 100 days or until the end of the competition, which I think is around the same time.”
“That’s, um, wow, that seems like a long time.” Janie stammered. “But I’m in.” Janie swallowed “as long as I’m not the only one.”
“Honestly, Janie, I think we all might max out, but I will say, you especially are gaining A LOT of interest.” Anna admitted. “Which is another reason I wanted to discuss this with you, first. The positive is it will mean a ton of money for the team.”
“Wow. I didn’t realize I was so popular.” Suddenly, she stood up. “We should wear our calendar outfits as well.” She grinned excited about her idea. “That will probably increase funds even more & help with the calendar sales, as well!”
Anna couldn’t help but burst into laughter at her friend’s enthusiasm. “That’s a great idea. So, I guess you’re in then.”
“Oh, yes. I’m all in!” Janie squealed with delight, any nerves or doubt she may have had moments ago completely gone.
A Big Reveal
Nicole stared at the image in the mirror. It was her, but it didn’t look like her, not the old her that walked into the salon anyway. She knew what she was getting & was prepared, but seeing it was quite different. Gone was the long blonde hair that nearly fell to her waist. In its place was a short buzz that felt rough but was also smooth. The hair on top of her head was parted to one side & fell to about mid ear. The rest of her hair was buzzed down to a #3. While her hair remained blonde, the “long” part on top had been dyed dark purple. She slowly reached her hand up & felt her head. Heather & Evan looked on with anticipation as she explored her new style. After what felt like an eternity but was really only minutes, Nicole cracked a smile & stood up.
“Wow, Evan! You’ve really outdone yourself with this.” Nicole started as she headed over towards him. “This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. I don’t know why I waited so long!” Nicole reached over to Evan & gave him a huge hug. “CLIENT FOR LIFE!”
“I’m glad you like it, Nicole.” Evan smirked. “I think it did turn out amazing.”
“Oh, yes.” Nicole nodded in confirmation. “My sister is going to be so jealous.”
“Well, I am due to see her again next week.” Evan informed her.
“Oh, & me too.” Nicole eagerly responded. “That is if you can fit me in.”
“I’m sure we can work something out. There’s always Heather, here.” Evan indicated his new apprentice who was standing next to them & had had a big part in the makeover. “That is, of course, if you’re ok with it.”
Nicole giggled & walked over to Heather & gave her a giant hug as well. “Of course. How could I forget my new bestie.” She rubbed Heather’s nearly bald head. “One day, girl, one day.” Nicole smiled “I’ll even let you do it.” She looked back at Evan. “If you don’t mind.” She reached up & rubbed her own head again. ‘Wow, I just can’t believe this. Feels soooo good!”
“I’m just glad it all worked out. On your way out you can stop by & see Lacey & make sure you get yourself penciled in.” Evan turned towards Heather “Are we going to need to start a column for you, as well?”
“Uhm, hehe, I don’t know.” Heather awkwardly stammered. “I’m just happy to be here. I didn’t realize I’d be doing this on my own.”
Nicole & Evan both laughed. “No, Heather, it was just a joke. Don’t worry, & I’m happy to have you here.” Evan replied.
“Please don’t lose this one, Evan. She’s hilarious.” Nicole chuckled as she opened the door. “I’ll see you next week.” Just as she was about to close the door behind her, she poked her head back in “BOTH of you.” She winked at Heather & then shut the door behind her.
“Looks like you made quite an impression.” Evan said to Heather.
“That was AMAZING!” Heather grinned. “Thank You Evan, for letting me be a part of that.” She sat down. “Wow. So, is this what it’s like every day?”
“Oh, I wish.” Evan chuckled. “I hope I haven’t spoiled you. Despite what Nicole & your cheer team may have you believe these kinds of changes are rare. My clientele consists mostly of those who have already gone short, & I help them maintain it, but I do occasional get to take a former long hair & introduce them to the world of short, shaved hair.” Evan began cleaning up, “I will say though, that those that do take that leap, very rarely do they ever go back.”
“I can only hope to be like that someday.” Heather gushed. “Never would I have imagined that this would be something I’d do.”
“I could say the same thing about myself. I was able to turn a hobby into a career.” Evan admitted. “I got lucky, but you definitely have an eye & I see a lot of potential in you.”
“Thanks, Evan, that really means a lot.” Heather blushed, still unsure how to deal with all the compliments. Just then the door opened & Katie walked in.
“So, how did everything go?” Katie hugged Evan & gave him a kiss.
“She did great. This one has a real talent & I think she enjoyed herself.” Evan wrapped his arms around Katie while eyeing Heather.
“I did.” Heather confirmed. “I can’t wait for tomorrow!”
‘Well, that’s great. I can’t wait to hear all about it.” Katie smiled. “But for now we have to go. Practice starts soon.” Katie wrapped her shoulder around Heather & pulled her along. She turned back towards Evan. “We’ll see you tomorrow.”
Same Routine, Different Day
Tuesday started out much like Monday had. In fact, it was like most days for Heather now. Except after her run & Emma’s & Shandra’s shaves, she went with Jessie to the gym. There was a time when this near back-to-back workout would have knocked her out, but that was the old Heather. Now, she found herself quite enjoying herself. What started off as something simple to keep Jessie company, Heather now found herself pushing Jessie & intensifying their routine. Heather had a bit of a tight turn around, so rather than going back to the house when they were done, Heather just cleaned up at the gym before heading to class, something that would have been virtually unheard of, just a short time ago.
When Heather returned to the house, Katie was once again waiting for her. “Just need to drop off my bag.” Heather said to Katie before she had the chance to say anything. Tuesday was a more casual day for Heather, who wore an open crop mini vest over her Sports Bra & athlete shorts & didn’t feel the need to change headed to Evan’s salon. She returned minutes later & headed out to Katie’s car as they drove off.
“Ok, you’re staying ‘til close today. Then Evan’s going to bring you back. He’s picking me up for our date, so it just makes sense. Is that ok with you?” Katie asked.
“Yeah, it’s no problem. I like Evan & I like his salon. I don’t mind at all.” Heather replied.
As they pulled up to the salon, Heather got out of the car & headed inside. Katie could have just sped off as there was no real need for her to go in, except why should she miss an opportunity to spend a few extra minutes with Evan, & it was always fun taunting Lacey, so she parked & followed Heather inside.
“HI, Heather.” Lacey greeted the diminutive cheerleader. “Evan’s in the back. You can just head back there, if you want.”
“Thanks, Lacey.” Heather skipped towards the back room, just as Katie made her way inside.
“Oh, hi, Katie.” Lacey noticed Katie & greeted her in a less than pleasant tone.
“Hey, Lacey.” Katie noticed Heather skipping towards Evan’s room & shook her head. “She certainly seems to enjoy herself.” She followed after Heather. They both reached Evan’s door at the same time.
“Oh, Katie.” Heather looked up. “I didn’t realize you were staying.”
“I’m not.” Katie opened the door. “I’m just here for a quick ‘hi’.”
“Oh, ok.” Heather followed Katie into the room. Evan was waiting for them.
“Ah, there’s my girls.” Evan smiled as he greeted Heather & Katie, giving the latter a giant hug & kiss. “I was not expecting you today, babe.”
“Well, I had a few minutes to kill, & was already in the area.” Katie smiled & looked at Heather.
“I’m always happy to see you, & really looking forward to tonight.” Evan teased “I’ve got a surprise for you I think, you’ll really enjoy.”
“Can’t wait!” Katie exclaimed as she pulled away & headed back towards the door. “You’ll take care of this one.” Katie nodded to Heather.
“Don’t worry, she’s in good hands.” Evan smiled & looked over at Heather. “I’ll get her home when I pick you up.” Evan winked.
“Excellent” Katie exited. “See you then.” The door closed behind her.
Open The Floodgates
Evan closed the door as his last client left. Heather grabbed a broom & had started cleaning up. It had been a long few hours but Heather enjoyed every minute of it. She paid careful attention to everything Evan did & was soaking up all the information she could like a sponge. There were no major transformations that took place, but all of Evan’s clients already had very short or shaved hair, so there was still plenty of clipper action.
“You did good today, Heather.” Evan praised “I know there were no major transformations, but I hope you still enjoyed yourself.”
“Oh, yes, Thank you.” Heather began. “It was just as enjoyable as yesterday.” Heather paused. “I never realized how much could be done with short hair. This is all so new to me but I’m loving all of it.”
“Yeah, it’s an interesting phenomenon, but it tends to be those that already have short hair, are more open to experiment & change, while those who have it long tend to keep the same look & shy away from any major transformation. Nicole, from yesterday, took years of talking to & convincing before she finally agreed & you saw how that went. Plus, look at your own team. Even you. You may be a perfect example.” Evan explained.
“That’s true. I never did much of anything with my hair. It was just long & I never even gave it much thought. Even a trim used to terrify me.” Heather smiled as she rubbed her head. “I have to say though, this is much more enjoyable & fun.” After a moment “Plus, it’s easier.”
“So, I take it there’s no regrets then.” Evan confirmed.
“Oh, absolutely not, & I’m never growing it back. Not even a little.” Heather chuckled “This is already starting to feel long.” Heather stopped sweeping & looked over at Evan. “In fact, if you don’t mind, um, if it’s not too much trouble, would you mind, um.” Heather stammered trying to get her request out.
“Take a seat.” Evan smiled, wiping off the chair & sparing Heather from getting her words out.
“Thanks.” Heather blushed as she took off her vest, so she was just in her Sports Bra, as she put the broom down & made her way over to the chair & sank down into it. “Oh, wow. This chair is super comfortable.”
“There are some advantages to coming here versus what I’m able to do at the house.” Evan admitted. “So, what are we doing?”
“Um, well. I don’t know, really.” Heather confessed. “At first, I was thinking, it might be time for a fresh shave. I’ve been doing Emma’s & Shandra’s head every day, plus it’s a great feeling. Sitting here now, I’m inclined to just let you do whatever, but how much can you really do anyway? It’s not like there’s much to work with.”
“I have an idea though.” Evan teased. “Since you like that chair so much… How much do you trust me?”
“Completely.” Heather gushed.
“Ok, then just sit back & relax.” Evan assured his apprentice as he got to work.
Heather sank into the chair & relaxed. Evan went over to his station & grabbed a can of shaving foam. He squeezed some into his hand & then rubbed his hands together allowing the gel to react. He then slowly massaged Heather’s scalp & worked the foam into her head. She closed her eyes & relaxed. This was no longer a new experience for her, & one she now enjoyed but somehow, this time it was different.
After a few minutes, Evan let the foam rest on Heather’s head while he rinsed his hands. Then he reached for a giant blade & started sharpening it. Heather’s eyes opened & widened at the site. “What’s that?” she gasped.
“it’s a straight razor.” Evan explained, while continuing to sharpen it. This is another tool I don’t get to use often. But this seems a perfect occasion to do so.”
“Ok” Heather said softly, unsure exactly what to think. Finally satisfied, Evan walked back over towards Heather holding the sharp blade in his hand.
“Hold still.” Evan stood behind Heather, as he carefully brought the blade up to the edge of her head & slowly pulled it back toward him, across her head, taking all the foam & any remnants of hair with it. He then repeated the process again, making another pass right next to the first, widening the bare strip on the top of Heather’s head.
Heather was in absolute extasy. She had had her head shaved before, but somehow this felt different. She felt herself losing control of her body as she started to moan & purr. She knew Evan would be aware of what was happening, she just didn’t think she could stop it, she also wasn’t sure if she cared or wanted to.
Evan continued making pass after pass. He noticed Heather completely melt into the chair as she started to moan. He chuckled silently to himself. It wasn’t the first time he’s had that effect on women & was sure it wouldn’t be the last. He tried not to draw attention to himself or her & tried to encourage Heather to just enjoy the experience & allow whatever happened to just happen.
Heather felt herself pee again, only she was now aware it wasn’t pee. She knew what was happening now & was ok with it. However, the sheer volume of it caught her off guard. What in the past she could pass off as a few small leaks, this time she felt absolutely soaked. Not only was her underwear drenched, but she was concerned her shorts were as well. Her nipples grew hard & were poking through her sports bra. This was something new that she hadn’t experienced before. She didn’t know why this was happening but also knew she didn’t want it to stop. She had completely lost control & felt paralyzed. It’s also the best she’s ever felt.
Evan was taking his time but still reaching the end. “This may be a dumb question, as I feel I already know the answer, but would you like me to do it again?”
“Yes, please.” Heather managed to get out in a barely audible whisper.
Evan could have played with her a bit & asked her to repeat as he could barely hear her, but figured she was struggling enough & would just let it go. He smirked as he made a final pass & then prepared to do it again. He walked back over to his station & once again pumped the shaving foam into his hand. Heather took the brief respite to try & regain her composure & catch her breath. She didn’t entirely understand all that was going on, but she knew she liked it.
Before long, Evan was back over behind Heather & once again was massaging Heather’s head with the Shaving foam. He cleaned his hands & sharpened the razor. Heather looked over & had the biggest smile on her face in anticipation of what was about to happen. As Evan walked back towards Heather, their eyes locked & when Evan winked at her, Heather grinned & flushed with embarrassment. Evan stood behind her, leaned over & whispered into her ear “It’s ok, enjoy it.” He then, once again, thrust the blade across the top of her head & began the process again. Once again, Heather found herself giving in to the feelings that permeated all over her body. She felt numb & screamed out with pleasure, no longer able to hold back. Her juices were flowing freely & she was sweating profusely. She must have been quite a sight. At the moment she didn’t care & Evan seemed to understand what was happening & was ok with it, so she would just enjoy the experience & ask questions later.
Evan slowly continued pass after pass over Heather’s bald scalp. With each pass removing more foam & her non-existent hair. With each pass Heather lost more & more control, that she never had to begin with. By now, she was practically screaming in pleasure, her nipples were rock hard & she found her clothes very constricting. She didn’t know what was happening, but she hoped it never stopped. It was easily the top experience of her young life.
All too soon, Evan had finished. As Heather lay in the chair utterly exhausted, Evan went back to his station & grabbed a towel & a small bottle that he put in his pocket. Evan took the towel & started to buff Heather’s entirely smooth dome. He then took out the bottle & sprayed it on Heather’s head. He spread it out & let it soak into her pours. As Heather recovered & her breathing returned to normal, she sat up & tried to speak, but finding the words to express what she was feeling seemed an impossible task. Evan put his supplies away & continued to clean up from the day, allowing Heather to continue to recover from her otherworldly experience.
After several minutes, Heather finally tried to get out of the chair. She still felt weak in the knees & her shorts were completely soaked through, she stuck to the chair briefly. As she hobbled to the floor, Evan raced over to help stabilize her. Heather looked up at him & gave a slight smile as thanks, but also completely embarrassed by all that had just happened. “Th-th-thanks…” Heather started to speak “Thanks for that.” As she stood up & stabilized herself, she looked back at the chair. “For ALL of that.” Then she looked at Evan & then put her head down. “I’m sorry for how I acted, I don’t know what came over me.”
Evan could only smile & laughed slightly. “Don’t worry about it. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t slightly expect it.” He let go of Heather who was now able to balance on her own. “Maybe not quite to that extent but expected nonetheless.”
“I’m a mess.” Heather looked down at herself, her shorts still damp & her skin clammy from the sweat.
“I wish I could offer you a shower, but I do have a bathroom over there, if you want to clean yourself up a bit.” Evan pointed towards the back room. “I’ll see what I can do about finding you some replacement clothes.”
Heather made her way to the bathroom, where she attempted to clean herself up. She took a few moments to compose herself & stared at herself in the mirror. She was so distracted by everything that had gone on it was the first time she truly looked at herself. Her head shone & reflected the light from above. She reached up & touched her head. Her smile grew bigger. Sure, she had gone bald & shaved before, & it had been enough time that she was used to it, but this was different. Her head actually reflected light & her head was so smooth her hand glided across her head with no resistance. She laughed; this was so worth it. She looked at herself, she looked like she jumped in a pool with her clothes on. There was a knock on the door.
“Heather? Heather, it’s Evan.” The voice on the other side broke through. “I’ve got some towels for you & a washcloth. I’m working on getting you some fresh clothes.”
Heather slowly opened the door & took the linens from Evan. “Thanks.” She looked up at Evan “For everything.” She added softly while touching her head. “I really, really mean it.”
“It was my pleasure.” Evan smiled at her.
“I’d hug you but –” she stopped & indicated her present condition. “I owe you one.”
“You don’t owe me anything, but I appreciate it.” Evan replied. “But anyway, let me go, so you can finish up what you need to do.”
Heather closed the door & started to undress. She stood in front of the mirror & gathered herself. The idea of being naked used to terrify her & that was even when she had hair long enough to completely cover herself. Now, though, she had to admit she looked good. Although it had only been a short time, her body definitely was starting to change. Her arms were a little more muscular & she was staring to notice the slight bit of abs starting to form. She reached up & touched her breasts. They were of a nice average size for her body but seemed larger than she was used to. Her nipples were not as hard as they had felt a few moments earlier, but they were still sensitive to her touch. She let out a deep sigh as she turned on the faucet & let the water run for a minute.
Heather splashed some water on her face. She would take a full shower when she got back to the house, but for now took the towels given to her & wiped her body down. She was still coming down from a high & her whole body felt charged. There was a knock on the door. She quickly wrapped a towel around her body & opened the door.
“Uh, hi, Evan told me to bring you these.” Lacey stood before her with a small pile of clothes. She looked around nervously. “I think they might be a bit big for you, but it’s the best I can do.”
“Thanks, Lacey.” Heather took the clothes, “I really appreciate it.”
‘No problem. If you need anything else just let me know.” Lacey started to turn, to leave, then stopped & turned back towards Heather. “By the way, I just wanted to say. You look really, really, good like that.”
“Thank you.” Heather blushed “I FEEL really, really, good.” She smiled, “You should try it, yourself, someday.”
“Maybe I will.” Lacey quickly replied as she backed away from the conversation.
“If nothing else, at least it would get Katie off your back.” Heather remarked.
Lacey gave an uncomfortable chuckle. “Yeah.” she said distractedly as she turned & made a quick exit toward the door.
Heather went back into the bathroom & put the clothes on the counter. She continued to try & clean herself off a bit or at least enough to get back home. She looked at the clothes she was given. She appreciated the gesture & Lacey & Evan were both being so amazing about this entire ordeal, but she really wasn’t sure these clothes would work.
A few minutes later, Heather emerged from Evan’s room & headed towards the front of the salon where Evan & Lacey were chatting, waiting for her. She had on the cropped mini vest she had on earlier, only this time it was closed. It wasn’t ideal & was meant as outerwear to wear over something else, but under the circumstances she tried to make it work. She had a towel tied around her waist & worn like a skirt. Again, not ideal, but she only needed to get back to the house. As she approached them, she shouted out to them, to alert them of her presence. Evan & Lacey both looked up & over at Heather.
“Hi, I think, I’m ready.” Heather declared. “Thanks so much for everything. I appreciate the clothes, but they just weren’t going to work.” Heather handed the clothes back to Lacey.
Evan looked over Heather for a minute, then went behind the reception desk & opened a drawer. After a minute of searching, he found what he was looking for & walked over towards Heather. He reached down at her waist where she had tied the towel. He struggled for a minute & then took a step back. “Ok, now, You’re ready.” Heather looked down. Evan had fastened the towel with a safety pin, so that it would stay secure. She smiled, he winked, then turned towards Lacey. “Ok, I’m going to get her back & pick up Katie, we’re already running a little late. You got things here?”
“Yeah” Lacey replied. “I’ll just finish this & lock up. I hope you have a fun night & I’ll see you both tomorrow.”
Evan & Heather headed out & into his convertible. Heather got to sit in the front passenger seat this time instead of the backseat, she had been relegated to, the last time she was in the car, when Katie borrowed it for the girl’s trip she was included in. That trip was arguably where her hair journey really began. Not her own hair, that had been long gone by then, but her interest in other’s hair. It’s where Emma first got her head shave, which Heather had helped her keep up ever since & when she first got involved in someone else’s hair, the waitress Amber that they had met out at dinner. Thus was a much different trip though.
As Evan pulled up to the house, Heather got out of the car & ran up the steps, opened the door & hurried up the stairs to her room, hoping no one would see her or engage her. Evan parked & slowly headed up the front steps & rang the bell & waited.
