Emma was preganant for the first time. Things in her life were changinig rapidly. The guy she met in highschool who she didn't think much of initially, was going to the father of her child. The Emma who loved partying was taking more care of her body now. Her body too was changing. Even after her son Jason was born. Her boobs had grown a lot. Although she had shed most of the weight she gained during preganancy, she still looked very plump.
Jason was almost a year old now and he had definetly taken his mother's hair genes as it had already grown thick and long. Emma thought it was time to give Jason a haircut but she was afraid that she might hurt him in the process so she decided to rely on professional expertise.
One overcast morning, Emma walked into a local barbershop. It was a very dull day and Emma was dressed in her woolens carrying Jason in his pram. As she opened the door, a bell jingled and she was welcomed by an old barber. Well into his sixties the barber looked like a tough old man with receeding pepper and salt hair slicked back with some gel. He welcomed Emma in and said, "A haircut for the the young one I suppose?" Emma just smiled in affirmation.
Dusting the chain with a cape he said, "Lucky you won't have to wait as we have no appointments today." Emma chuckled as she lifted Jason up from the pram. A bit confused she just stood there awaiting the barber's orders.
The Barber said, "My name is John. I am happy to serve you today. Please take the seat."
Emma stood there with a question mark on her face. She was confused why she was asked to take the seat as her son was the one getting the haircut.
Noticing Emma's apprehension, John said, "Kids getting a haircut for the first time tend to be very fussy. They feel safer if they are with their parent. So you could take the seat with the baby on your lap, he'd be much more calm and we would get done with the cut easily."
Agreeing with what the barber said Emma took the seat with Jason on her lap. The seat was much more comfortable and Emma sunk in as she sat. It felt weird at first but soon she felt much more comfortable.
"If you don't mind I'll cape you up so that the hair doesn't get stuck on your clothes." Emma nodded as John drapped Emma with the cape. Emma was feeling very excited sitting the the barber's chair under the cape.
John flipped his clippers on and picked up his comb. Lifting Jason's hair with the comb he trimmed them quickly with his clippers. The sound of the clippers and how swiftly he worked on Jason's hair really excited Emma. She was really surprised with John's dexterity and how calm Jason was throughout the process. Having not much to work with John was done within 5 minutes. But Emma was so engrossed in the process she was almost glued to the seat.
After an awkward pause John broke the silence and said, "And we are done unless you want me to go shorter but I think this is good." John's voice really startled Emma as she brought back her focus to Jason's hair which looked much more clean and neat.
"I think that look really nice" Emma replied but she still couldn't get up from her seat. She looked at her own hair. Her long red mane was reduced to a limp pony tail because of the pregnancy.
"That would be it I guess..." John said but was soon interrupted by Emma who blurted out, "Will you cut my hair?" Even she couldn't believe what she said.
Emma's interruption left the barber in a shock. "Ma'am I don't think I can help you..." He responded. Emma's face had an expression that was a mixture of relief and disappointment.
"...unless you want something short."
"Yes. Do it." Emma replied gripping the armrests of the chair so tight that her fingers were white.
The barber picked up Jason and placed him in the pram. He undid Emma's cape, wrapped her neck with a paper towel and redid the cape really thight. He opened the drawer and picked out a pair of scissors and a comb only to be stopped by Emma.
"Not this. The machine please."
"We'll get there ma'am, don't worry."
The barber opened Emma's ponytail. Her limp ginger hair flumped on her shoulders, flowing just below her shoulder blades. The barber held her hair near the nape area and chopped them off in one swift cut.
*SNIP!*
The chop gave Emma the jitters. Her hair were now only a chic chin length bob. But she definitely wasn't satisfied by that.
Placing the scissors back the barber combed and sectioned her hair. Emma who usually got her haircut at posh salons was accustomed to her hair being sectioned into multiple sections. The barber only section here hair into two. He frapped the hair on the top of her head and tied a small knot and secured it with a clip leaving the rest. Emma was excited at the sight of what was happening.
The barber picked up a pair of clippers and put in a number two gaurd. Standing behind Emma he said bending Emma's head down, "Chin to you chest ma'am."
He flipped the clippers on to a loud hum. The hum was soon muffled as the barber pushed in into Emma's hair. That gave Emma butterflies. The barber made a couple of passes and Emma's red hair started falling on her shoulders and then on the floor. What was left behind was a fuzz on ginger hair and a pretty white sclap peeking through.
When the barber was done with Emma's nape he moved on to her left. He placed the clippers on Emma's sideburns. He pushed them in. All the way up to her temple leaving behind only a fuzz. Emma's hair fell on her lap. It was only then Emma realized what destruction the clippers were causing. That made Emma more excited than scared.
Continuing swift upward movements the barber had completely buzzed Emma's left side. He moved to the right and did the same.
The barber undid the top knot. Emma's hair fell down and touched her bare scalp which tickled her a bit. He sprayed her hair with some water and picked up a pair of scissors. He lifted Emma's hair straight up and chopped them right in the middle leaving behind only about 5 inches of it. He now started from the back of her crown. Lifted up a section and chopped more off. Moving forward he chopped a little less each time creating a nice graduation. He then combed Emma's hair in front and snipped them off right about her eyebrows to give her a fringe. He placed the scissors back on the counter. Emma thought that they were done but she was wrong.
The barber picked up the clippers again. He replaced the gaurd to a smaller one. Flipping the clippers back on he started giving Emma a fade. It was a long process where he went over the sections again and again as he kept buzzing Emma's hair going shorter each time. Finally he removed the gaurd. Emma was loving the process and the constant vibrations. But this time was was startled with the cold metal against her skin. A shiver ram down her spine. And then she went back to enjoying the process of her hair because buzzed off even shorter. Almost bald.
Satisfied with the fade the barber picked up a blow-dryer. He started blow-drying her hair using his fingers as a comb. Emma knew the blow-dryer would feel different on the buzz but this was not she was expecting. She thoroughly enjoyed the barber's strong rough hands in her hair.
The barber picked up a bottle of hair wax and styled Emma's hair into what yoh could describe as a - bowlcut in the front and fade on the sides and back. It was short yet vert feminine. Emma looked drop dead gorgeous with her bare neck and ears popping out.
The barber undid Emma's cape and paper towel. Emma began to get up but she was pushed back down by the barber. The barber lathered Emma's nape and side burns with shaving cream. He replaced the blade of his straight edged razor with a fresh and sharp one. Then he proceeded to shave it clean. Emma touched her bare nape. That aroused her a lot. She started thinking about the time when she'll do this all over again.
