Ok I can do this, Lisa thought its time for a change, time for something a bit funkier, she had been feeling a bit low of late and had decided that a bit of a makeover would cheer her up. At her partners suggestion she had found a style she liked, a  jaw length dark brown bob with streaks of red visible in the under layer of the fringe, it was very different to the long bob she currently wore which had been highlighted to an overall blond color on her last visit. The roots however were now horrendous after 8 weeks of growth with her natural mid-brown showing through.
 
She went into the hairdressers and was greeted by Cat who had finished with her last client and was chatting to the receptionist.
 
Hi Lisa, come and sit down, Lisa did as asked, what are we doing to day? Color touch up and a trim?
 
No Lisa said I fancy something different, she took out the photo and showed cat, who’s eyebrows raised slightly,
 
That is a bit different isn’t it, That will be really head turning! give me a few moments to get sorted out and ill show you a few color swatches. Cat busied herself behind Lisa as Lisa sat and looked at her reflection in the mirror before her.
Was she doing the right thing she worried twirling a lock of hair round between her fingers while biting her lip.
 
Right oh, cat said reappearing next to her with a book of colored hair swatches; I think if we go for something from this selection for the red this one looks the closest to the one in the picture she said fingering a small lock of bright red hair.
 
Ok said Lisa, whatever you think is best?
 
OK Cat said I know what will go well with that, without showing Lisa a swatch she closed the book and went off to mix the color.
 
What color is it going to be? Lisa asked.
 
Oh don't worry cat told her it will look good, its a dark base with blue tones.
 
Umm Ok I guess, as long as its not too blue, Lisa said with a worried frown. 

Cat wasted no time in plastering Lisa head in the two mixtures, sectioning off a layer at the front she slicked on the red paste and then wrapped it up in foil before proceeding to plaster on the darker paste over most of the rest of Lisa’s hair.
 
Lisa was pushed under a heat lamp to process and handed a magazine and a coffee. After half an hour or so a timer buzzed and one of the shampoo girls lead Lisa off to the sink to wash out the color.
 
Wow she said as she was rinsing Lisa’s hair. That looks really good, it’s a really dramatic color combination! Were you the lady with the blond bob? no one will recognize you she said and laughed,
 
Lisa gave her a weak smile, I fancied a bit of a change, she replied.
 
The girl wrapped a towel around her head and lead her to back to the cutting station, cat came over and after unwrapping her checked the color, this was the first time Lisa had seen it and though it was still wet what was evident was the brightness of the colors, the fringe was seriously red which she had expected but the rest of the hair looked quite blue, it was dark but it certainly wasn’t a dark brown with blue highlights it was a solid rich royal blue color with bright blue highlights.
 
That looks fantastic cat said enthusiastically, the color has taken really well on top of the old highlights.
Now the cut, what were you thinking?
 
Umm some sort of bob? Lisa said, assuming she would have it cut like the photo.
 
Ok cat said, the cut in the photo is probably undercut, that will get it to look nice and sleek while still keeping it lying nice and close to your head. Otherwise we would have to cut layers into the longer hair which would spoil the smooth look.
 
Cat started sectioning the hair at the top of Lisa’s head, she combed a line around about two inches above Lisa’s ear, and after collecting all the hair up above this and clipping it out of the way she turned back the table and started plugging something in. Lisa was looking at her rather comical reflection in the mirror; her bright red fringe fell past her eyes and sticking up out of the top of her head was a spiky blue mass. I look like a smurf pineapple! She thought, and despite the stress a small chuckle escaped her.
 
What’s up? Cat asked standing behind her.
 
It just struck me I looked like a pineapple Lisa said, I don’t know what work are going to think of it!
 
You'll be fine, Cat said, can you put your chin don for me please?
 
Lisa did as she was asked then to her surprise she herd a humming sound start up and before she new what was happening cat had pushed a pair of clippers up the back of her head. Lisa was in shock, cat continued clippering the hair that hung down below the parting working around both sides and all the way around in front of Lisa’s ears. Lisa could see the hair that was left on the sides was only 2 or 3 mm at the most. After a few more passes in all directions to ensure everything was even Cat switched the clippers off and put them down. Lisa let out a breath she hadn’t realized she had been holding. No matter what cat did with the long hair Lisa knew that most of her head was pretty much bald, she had never had hair this short or this wild. Lisa sat in shock, this was turning into nightmare, she only wanted a splash of color in the fringe and she was now a long way out of her comfort zone with no idea what she was going to end up looking like.

 
To Lisa’s horror Cat now pulled out another smaller set of clippers,
 
These are the edger’s she said as she started shaving the hair around Lisa’s nape, Lisa could feel the coldness of the blades on her skin and sensed that these were cutting the hair much shorter than the last set.
 
I thought it would be fun to add a bit of interest to these bits cat said stroking the shorter hair on the back and sides of Lisa’s head, It wont be too visible unless you want to show it off. She started carefully carving lines into the shorter hair, diagonally from bottom to top all the way around Lisa’s head, she then changed angle and worked her way back round leaving a pattern of diamond shaped patches of hair with lines shaved all the way to the scalp separating them.
 
From Lisa’s front on view it looked as though little had changed she started to turn her head to see what cat was doing but cat pushed her head straight, hold on not finished she said. She was using the clippers around the hairline again.
 
Ok cat said, what do you think?
 
Lisa turned her head to inspect the damage,
 
Oh my god! she said, The dark blue hair contrasted strongly with the white scalp showing through the shaved lines, Around the hairline Cat had shaved off every incomplete diamond leaving Lisa with a series of shaved patches extending up into her hair. It was a startlingly outrageous style, and Lisa was struggling to come to terms with the fact that it was her own head and hair she was looking at.
 
Isn't it ace? Cat asked, it really stands out!
 
Cat released the hair held in clips on the top and to Lisa’s relief it dropped and covered the shorter hair. After combing it through cat carefully cut around Lisa’s head roughly following Lisa’s jaw line, this resulted in quite a steep angle upwards but Lisa was just relieved that the longer hair on the sides covered the short pieces. Cat dried Lisa’s hair and finally announced her done, nearly three hours had passed since she came in, resembling an extra from sex in the city, now she looked more like an extra from star trek Lisa thought to herself.
 
Cat pulled out a hand mirror and started to show Lisa the style. The first thing that stood out was the color, the rich dark blue seemed to glow and under the spotlights it shimmered with purple and violet tones. At the front the fringe skimmed her eyebrows and as cat poked and pushed it around it parted to reveal the bright red under layer. Overall the bob looked very sharp and sleek, it curved down hugging her head tightly her small ears just peeking though the curtain of hair. It was then she really noticed how short it was, at the front the sides reached her jaw, as they moved back they just skimmed her earlobe but at the back of her head in the mirror cat was holding for her she could see the blue curtain of hair rose a good three inches above her hair line. And the hairline itself was the next thing that drew Lisa’s eye, a repeating pattern of diamonds with the lower edge a zig zag of shaven patches.
 
Give your head a shake, Cat said.
 
Lisa did and the longer hair moved beautifully swishing back into place after revealing a brief glimpse of the patterned under layer. Lisa was still in shock, she thanked Cat, made an appointment for a month’s time and after paying walked out into the sunshine. As she headed down the road to her car she was convinced all eyes were on her, she checked her reflection in the shop windows as she passed and in direct sunlight her hair was even brighter than before, on top of that the slightest breeze was blowing the longer hair up revealing the shaved under layers. Christ she thought what are work going to say about this!
 
She got home and sat in the car on the drive, She looked at her reflection in the mirror and the emotion she had been holding in during the drive suddenly overwhelmed her and she burst into tears.
 
Eventually she composed herself and went into the house.
 
I'm back she called as she let herself in. She heard mark upstairs
 
Hi he called back, how does it look?
 
Its different she said, you’ll have to come and see...
 
As mark came down the stairs he started speaking
Well you fancied a chan...bloody hell! his jaw dropped as he came around the corner and saw his girlfriend standing in the hallway, the light streaming through the door made the blue in her hair glow. He walked up to her and ran his hand up her nape, lifting the longer hair he whistled a pheww sound through his teeth, shit that looks amazing he said. I didn't realize you were doing something like this. Look at the sides! This could be the coolest haircut I have ever seen. Lisa was looking into his face, trying to tell if he was just saying this to make her feel better, but she could see from his eyes that he was being serious.
 
You really like it? she asked.
 
Don't you mark said?
 
I'm trying to, its just a lot different to what I was expecting. Mark gave her a hug, while rubbing the short hair on her nape and tracing the pattern of her new hairline. She could feel the erection growing as the stood together. It seems to have your approval she said with a grin, and taking his hand she led him upstairs.
