I was always very interested to see ladies or girls? haircuts and especially the actual cutting would immediately catch my attention when I visited a barbershop or one of the unisex hair salons.

I considered myself lucky when I had a good view of the real thing.

Recently I went to a barbershop that was mainly a men?s shop but where occasional girl came to have a hair trimming or cut. The barber an elderly man never mad much fuzz of a haircut be it a man or a woman. It always helped the turnover. The barber was cutting the hair of a man short with the clippers. On the waiting chairs next to where I was sitting a man sat with two girls of about 10, 12 years old. Both girls had long darkish hair. One in two braids and the elder one had a long wavy ponytail. The man was reading a magazine and the girls were watching what was going on in the barbers? chair where the barber was cutting the man?s hair.

A couple of minutes later the man was finished and the barber spoke to the man with the girls, It?s your turn, sir. The man got up and said to the barber, It is not for me but for the girls. You see, my wife has been ill for some time and she keeps to the bed. She finds it rather a burden and difficult to every day braiding, combing or do whatever to the girls hair and asked me to take the girls to a salon and have their hair cut. You see, I do not fancy a ladies salon and remembered that last time I was here you cut the hair of a young girls so I decided to come to you to ask you to give the girls short haircut. Could you do that?

Well, the barber said, of course that is no problem! He took a white sheet from a hook walked to the big barbers chair and said, Well who?s first? The girls giggled once more and the eldest, with the ponytail got up and jumped in the chair. She was caped with the white sheet and the barber said to the man, What shall we do? Did your wife give you any instructions? Well she suggested a nice short cut, sort of little boys? cut so that a comb would be all to get their hair in shape. Well, that?s no problem, the barber said. He undid the ponytail and combed the young girls hair straight down. Opening a drawer he got pair of clippers out and lifting the hair at the side before her ear with a course comb, he ran the clipper over and the first of many long locks fell to the ground. He quickly moved around and in no time there was a big pile of cut hair on the floor and in the girls? cape. She was watching the whole thing in the mirror and even seemed to like her metamorphosis. Her sister was watching with large eyes, sitting on the tip of her chair while their father, quite uninterested in how his girls were losing their long hair, was glancing through a magazine.

In no time most of the girl's hair had disappeared and the barber was now finishing the nape of the girl by working the humming clippers rather high through the hair on the back of her head to make a very short high shingle. The same procedure at the side of her hair over her ears. He now combed the hair and applied some sort of lotion so that she really looked like a boy. Well, the barber said top the father that?s number one. All right? Perfect, the man said, their mother will be pleased.

The girl jumped from the chair and her sister, hesitating, took her place and was caped as earlier her sister. Same thing, the barber asked? The girl nodded and shyly said, Can I keep my braids? My mother would like to have them. Of course the barber said and without any hesitation he took a big pair of scissors and hacked of the thick shiny braids quite close to the head. The clippers came out and the procedure, applied to her sister was repeated and a short while later the father paid the barber and walked home with the girls. I was still enjoying the whole spectacle that had just been performed so that I did not even hear the barber say?Sir, you are next!
