| "Hi, Connie", Jack said as she walked in, Jack's
Barber Shop, pushing her nine year old son, Robert, and his two sisters,
Terri, age six, and Lynn, age five behind him. "How are you doing",
Jack continued, as he continued cutting his customer's hair, and as she
motioned the children to sit.
"Fine", Connie replied. "Have an interview at "Sidney's Bar and Grill" for a job as barmaid, in ten minutes". "Sidney's ..... Crazy place but I understand the waitress' make good money there", Jack answered. "Not the place I would think you would be working"! "Well, you know how it is", she said. "Since Tom left, money is kind of short for now. Maybe after November I can give it up and just do with one job. Anyway, it's only for three or four days a weeks, and for four hours a night. And, doesn't conflict with my job with the construction company". "Tim needs a hair cut", Connie said. "Will it be all right if the girls stay with him! "I'll be back by the time you are finished his hair cut". "No problem", Jack said smiling. "The girls are welcomed any time. Besides, I'll have to let Sharon, you met her ..... my new help, cut his hair. I have an appointment myself and have to leave after I finish Ron here". "That will be find", Connie replied brushing his hair off his face. "Just tell her to cut it like you did last summer when he came with his father. You know ..... close to his scalp". "Right ..... a clipper shave, isn't that right Robert", Jack replied and asking little Robert. He just shook his head, "yes", and went back to reading his comic magazine. "What about the girls", Jack asked pointing his scissors towards them. "They look like they need the ends trimmed a little. I am sure Sharon would do them". Connie looked the girls hair over and brushed their hair off their face. She thought for a little. "Well, summer is a few weeks away", she commented stepping back to look at the length of their hair, "maybe ..... Hmmmmmm ..... Tell her something short, around the ears ..... a Bob just below the ears". "Got you", Jack replied as he begin lathering Ron's hair line. Connie started to pay Jack, but he said, "Wait until you come back. I'll tell her where you went, and that you'll be back before she is finished". With that Connie kissed her son and daughters. "Now you behave", she said. Jack went back to finishing Ron's hair cut, as Tim and his sisters sat reading their magazine. "Tim", Jack called to him. "Here ..... here's the key to the soft drink machine. Get your self and your sisters a soft drink on me". Tim took the key and got the drinks for them, and asked Jack if he wanted one ..... which Jack said, "No thank you". Just as Ron was stepping out the chair Sharon walked in the shop. "Just in time", Jack told her, then introduced her to the Walkers. "This is Tim, these are his sisters, Terri and Lynn". Sharon reached out and shook their hand, Tim said, "Nice to met you Miss Sharon". "Connie, their mother, is down the street at Sidney's for an interview for a job", he told Sharon. "She'll be back shortly. I have that appointment, so I told her you would cut their hair. "Tim, here", Jack said as he messed up his hair, "is to get a nice short and smooth summer shave. The girls, too. "Connie will pay you when she comes back", Jack told her as he left the shop. "OK", Sharon inquired of them, "who's first"? With that Tim put his magazine down, walked to the chair, and Sharon help him up on the child's seat, she put in the chair. "Nice an short and smooth for the summer, hey", she asked. Tim just shook his head "yes" as she put the cape on him. Sharon picked up the big black clippers with the .0000 setting. With a flick of the switch, and her left hand tilting his head down, she begin clipping the hair from his neck and up the back of his head. It didn't take her long to finish the back, then it was just a quick with the right side and the left side. With five quick passes over the top of his head, she was finished buzzing his hair close to his scalp. As she dusted his head, she said, "Short and smooth ..... Right"! Tim answered, "Yes ma'am". Sharon undid the cape and let if fall over his lap. She picked up a small towel and tucked it in his collar. She wet a wash cloth with warm water and gently wiped his clippered head. Then, she filled her left hand with warm lather and begin spreading it over his head. Tim sat saying nothing as his sisters watched. With his head covered with lather Sharon first reached for her straight razor, but decided on a safety razor. She obtain one from Jack's drawer. "Now, you'll have to sit still and let me move your head", she told him. Tim answered, "OK". Sharon begin shaving the top of his head a little section at a time. After a few strokes she would check the scalp for smoothness, then shave another section. It didn't take her long, because of his small child's head. Within about five minutes she was finished and wiping his head clean. She applied a skin cream to keep the scalp soft, then she dusted him off. She helped him out the chair, and asked which of the girls was next. Terri, the oldest of the two girls, got up and walked to the chair. Sharon help her up on the seat. As she placed the cape on Terri Sharon commented, "Short and smooth ..... I wonder if that's right"! "Be right back", she told them. She picked up the telephone and called "Sidney's". She asked for Connie and inquired about the girls hair cut. At first Connie thought something had happened, but when she found out it was Sharon asking about the girls hair cut, she was relieved. "Just", Connie answered, "just like I told Jack". With that they hung up. Sharon took hold of the big black clippers, with it's .0000 head. Just as she had done with Tim, and in the same time, she was slowly pushing the clippers up the back of Terri's head. But, it was slower with her because her hair was longer and the clippers had to be moved slower. It took a little longer to clip the back, but soon she was at work on the right side of Terri's head. Then, the left side. Finally, the top. Terri looked at herself in the big mirror, behind where her bother and sister were sitting. She had wide eyes and laughed at the face she saw in the mirror. Sharon dusted the soft hair duster over her head causing her to laugh louder. The cape was undone and allowed to slid covering her lap. Just like she did with Tim, Sharon wiped Terri's head with a warm wash cloth. Then, she lathered her head. Using another safety razor she shaved Terri's head just as smooth as she did Tim's. When, she was finished she help her out the chair. Little Lynn looked a little uneasy as she walked to the chair. Sharon picked her up and sat her in the seat. "Nothing to worry about", she told her as she gave her a hug. "I'll be finished before you know it". With that Sharon again picked up the big black clippers, and clicked it on. She titled Lynn's head downward and being clipping up the back of her head. Four quick passes and she was clipping up the right side of her head. The door opened ..... Terri called out, "Mommy ..... look at my new hair cut"! Connie looked at her, then Tim. Her eyes got wide, then wider when she saw the back and right side of Lynn's head. "My GOD", she inquired somewhat mad. "What the hell have you done to my children's hair"? "I take it you're Connie", Sharon asked somewhat questioning. "Just doing like you said. Just like Jack said, too. "Nice an short and smooth for the summer"! "I didn't say that", Connie said as she looked at Terri's shaven head. "Why would I tell you, or Jack to shave their heads"! Sharon stood there in disbelief. After all she did call her before she shaved Terri's head. "I called you at Sidney's ..... RIGHT", Sharon asked Connie. "That was you I spoke with. You are the Connie who said "Just like I told Jack to tell you", before I could ask you for sure"? Connie stood there looking at Tim and Terri, then at Lynn sitting in the barber's chair her hair almost gone like her bother and sister, who sat there before her. She thought back to the telephone call to her, at Sidney. Sharon was right ..... she tried to ask her about the girls hair cut, but she cut her short without knowing what Jack had told Sharon. She looked at Tim .... his hair was still a light blondish brown. You could hardly see that his head was shave unless you got close to him. Terri ..... she was smiling. Connie had not seen her smile like that in the last eight months, when their father picked up and left them. "Mommy", Terri said to her. "Mommy ..... I like this hair cut. It'z not in my eyes like before". Connie smiled, shaking her head, "No, ..... it's not". "What about Lynn", Sharon inquired. Connie looked at her sitting there, the back and right side of her little head with no hair, to speak of. But, yet she looked pleased, like Terri, about the hair cut. She could not believe it. What would her husband, their father, say if he came back in their lives. She thought a few minutes ..... "What the hell", she commented as she picked up Terri and gave her hug. "You might as well finished ..... I can't have her going around with part of her head shaved and the rest not". Lynn smiled, saying "YESzzzzz". "You sure", Sharon inquired. "I know it may not be right, but I could give her a crew cut ..... Not shave her head like I did with them"! "No", Connie replied as she sat down next to Tim, still holding Terri, "go ahead and shave her head too. They get upset when one can't do what the others do. Besides, it looks like she wants her head shaved, too". With that Sharon turned on the clippers and continued clipping Lynn's hair off. With a few quick passed she was finished the left side, then a few more and the top was done. She wiped her head with a warm wash cloth, then lather her head. Using another safety razor Sharon slowly shaved Lynn's head nice an smooth like she did Tim and Terri. After wiping her head, applying a skin lotion, and dusting her head, Sharon helped little Lynn out the chair. Lynn ran up to her mother who gave her a big hug and kiss. She could not believe she had allowed Sharon to shave their heads, nor how they liked it. Connie was about to pay Sharon, when she noticed them sitting in the customer's chair with their little arms crossed. At first she didn't understand, but when she got to the chair to pay Sharon she got an idea. Instead of handing her the money ..... Connie sat in the chair. Sharon looked at her ...... "Just like them", she inquired pointing to the children. "Sure", Connie replied. "Don't think they're going to say much at the construction company. And, as for Sidney's ..... might get a few extra bucks if I do shave my head". With that Sharon put the cape on Connie. She picked up the big black clippers to oil them. As she about to drop a few drops on the blade, she stopped. She looked in the mirror at Connie sitting there. She took the .0000 head off ..... then got the new .00000 head and put it on. This head would almost shave her head without a razor being needed. Sharon turned around, placed her left hand on top of Connie's head and tilted it down. With a flick of her finger she turned the big clippers on. Not hesitating Sharon quick made an upward pass with the clippers send a pile of dark brown hair down to the floor. The second pass was made quicker. As she begin the third pass, she head a soft sound of pleasure from Connie. "Enjoying it", she question Connie in her right ear. Connie just shook her head "yes", and raised her body up more in the chair. The forth pass was begun as Connie's body shivered a little. Sharon brushed her left fingers over the clippered back causing Connie's body to shiver more. She gently patted Connie on the left shoulder, then stepped to the right side of the chair. Connie turned her head to face Sharon, she was smiling. Her upper body was rising and falling ..... rising and falling with pleasure. Sharon could not believe this ..... she had heard about it in barber school, but thought it was just the men talking. Connie turned her face away from her. She placed the clippers under her hair and slowly pushed the clippers up into the hair. Slowly little sections of hair fell from her head. Touching her shoulder, then sliding into her lap. She begin another pass just over her right ear. It too slid down to her shoulder then into her lap. The next pass was behind her ear. This section of hair fell hitting the back of her shoulder, then falling to the floor. Sharon didn't notice it until she begin clipping the left side. Connie's hair was passed her shoulders. It was soft and silky, well taken care of. Hair that any woman would want to keep. But, here she had a woman sitting in her chair as she made pass after pass after pass with the clippers, cutting her hair extremely close to her scalp. If she wasn't the one doing it, she would have thought Connie's head was being shaved by a razor. The back and sides clipped, Sharon stood behind the chair. She moved the clippers over Connie's head, to her forehead. Without saying any thing she slowly moved the clippers over her head, pushing a pile of hair back until it fell to the floor behind the chair. Another pass was made, sending another pile of soft blondish brown hair to the floor. Three more passes and Connie's head was clipper as close as possible with the clippers. To be continued ..... ? |
