“Yes. I think that’s enough.”
Rachel reached for the hair dryer and a circular brush. She ran the
brush slowly through Katie’s hair, the noise of the dryer loud in
her ear.
“How often do you get your hair done?” Rachel asked, making
small talk.
“Once a month,” Katie answered. “But sometimes I just get it cut.”
“You have beautiful hair, by the way.”
“Thank you.”
Rachel continued to work. Katie asked for some light curls and
Rachel brought out the curling iron. It took a couple of minutes to
heat up. There were still twenty minutes left.
Rachel curled and brushed until she was finally satisfied and
studied Katie in the mirror.
“How’s that?”
Katie examined the color and the style. “That’s perfect,” she said.
“Let me show you the back,” Rachael said. She spun Katie’s chair
around and handed her a mirror. Katie stared into the double
reflection and nodded.
“Okay, that’s it, then,” Rachel said.
“How much is it?”
Rachel told her and Katie dug into her purse. She pulled out the
money she needed, including the tip. “Could I have a receipt?”
“Sure,” Rachel said. “Just come with me to the register.”
