Bob the Barber I
Jenna often used to baby-sit for her neighbor Michelle’s 5 year old son Jerry. She was eighteen years old had a pretty face with a slim figure that attracted a lot of guys in school. Her main attraction was her hair. She had long silky blonde tresses that flowed all the way down to her bum. A two inch thick & 3 feet long braid always swayed behind her. She loved the sensation of the heavy braid swing behind her & even more when her friends would gently tug or caress her braid.
One day when Jenna went to Michelle’s house to baby-sit for her son she asked her to take her son for a haircut to the barbershop. This was nothing unusual as Jenna had taken Jerry for a haircut on a number of earlier occasions as well to ‘Bob’s haircutting saloon for men’. The only thing that Jenna was slightly uncomfortable with, was that Bob often tried to persuade Jenna to cut her hair short. Jenna had also once complained about this to Michelle but Michelle asked her to simple ignore him as Bob was the only Barber she could afford to send her son to.
Bob was about 28 years slim, tall & wore glasses. It was afternoon & Bob’s saloon was empty as Jenna walked in with Jerry. Her hair was in a braided bun held in place with a hair stick. Bob got up said with a smile “Well…it’s been quite a while since I saw you last” looking at Jerry. Jenna knew that statement was meant for her. He helped Jerry into the Barber’s chair as Jenna sat on the waiting bench. She picked up a magazine & started reading when Bob said “He needs to have a shampoo”. Jenna looked up & said “Oh..I don’t think so as I have money only for his haircut”. “That’s all right” said Bob “I’ll collect it from Michelle later”.
Jenna went back to reading as Bob set to work. Jenna noticed that he was constantly stealing glances at her. Once she even looked back at him. Bob smiled & held up his scissors snapping them in the air. Jenna simply turned her attention back to the magazine. Bob was fantasizing on how he would love to hold all of her long, thick, heavy hair in his left hand & scrunching through it at the nape with his scissors.
“Don’t you feel the summer heat with all that hair?” asked Bob. Jenna replied with a grin “I know what’s on your mind but let’s not start it all again you know I will never cut my hair”. Bob smiled & said “Ok…alright…I give up no more talk about cutting your hair”. “Thank you” said Jenna with a smile. “But I suppose you wouldn’t mind if we just talk… about your hair” Jenna looked up from the magazine “you know…about how long & silky & beautiful it is” said Bob.
“So now you like my hair long?” asked Jenna. “Well to tell you the truth” he said wrapping a towel around Jerry’s head “I have never seen what your hair actually looks like”. Jenna had a question mark on her face. “Your hair is always in a tight braid or a bun….its hard to see the real beauty of it when its all down”. Jenna looked at Bob with an expression that she knew Bob wanted her to undo her hair. With a smirk she slowly nodded in a ‘No’. “Come on at least let me see it” said Bob securing the towel on Jerry’s head. Jenna though for a moment, smiled & said “all right but on one condition…no funny business?” Bob replied “I cross my heart & hope to die”.
As Jenna reached out for the stick holding up her braided bun, Bob said “Wait”. He walked up to Jenna & said “May I?” The expression on her face gave a clear message of “No”. “Please Jenna…I promised” he said as he walked behind the bench. Jenna agreed & turned around. She felt Bob’s hands press her bun & then pull out the stick. Bob was in a trance as he unwound her braid which kept falling & falling. Finally he saw the 3 feet long thick braid. Jenna was actually feeling a little uncomfortable as Bob began unraveling the braid. Jenna wanted to get up & run as Bob unraveled the final knot. There it was Jenna’s long blonde straight thick silky hair in its full glory. He loosely held her hair for a moment but as he tried to gather her hair in a ponytail Jenna got up & turned towards him. “All right that’s as far you go”. Bob was taken aback a little.
“I am sorry I should remain in my limits” he said apologetically & quietly walked up to Jerry. As he began snipping Jerry’s hair Jenna said “Look I am really not comfortable with a guy especially a barber touching my hair”. Bob looked at her & said “Its all right I understand…you have long hair & this is a barber shop….I would have probably ran away had I been in your place”.
Jenna smiled as she gathered her hair & twisted it into a bun. Soon Bob was done with Jerry. Jenna paid him & took Jerry by the hand as she walked out. She felt a little bad about the way she jumped up at Bob. On her way back Jenna’s mind was full of thoughts “Maybe he is not all that bad….maybe he simply liked to tease me …maybe I shouldn’t have jumped up like that….besides he promised he wouldn’t cut my hair… he only wanted to have a look at it…I’ll apologize next time I see him’ thought Jenna
They reached home, Michelle was still not back. Just then the phone rang it was Michelle. She told Jenna that she would be a little late & would appreciate if she stayed back for a little while more. Jenna agreed & told her about the shampoo money she owed to Bob. Jenna then called up her mother to tell her that she would be staying at Michelle’s till she returns.
“So what shall we do now?” said Jenna to Jerry in a playful manner. “Can we play Cowboys & Indians?” asked Jerry “Of course” said Jenna. “All right I’ll be the cowboy & you will be the Indian said Jerry. “Come to my room you must wear the tribal head-band” he said as he lead Jenna to his room.
“There” he said handing her a plastic circular head-band with feathers on it. Jenna put it on her head & asked ‘How does that look?”. Jerry grinned & said “You don’t look like an Indian.” “Well then what should I do to look like an Indian?” asked Jenna. “If you put your hair like this you will look like one” he said pointing out to a poster that had a Red Indian with pigtail braids. “Oh Jerry I can look like an Indian like this as well” she said but Jerry immediately retorted back “No…you have to like that” “Oh all right” said Jenna “where does your mother keep her hairbrush?.
Jerry took her to her mother’s room. Jenna sat at the dressing table undoing her hair. She brushed her hair & arranged it into twin braids on either side of her head. Though she felt she looked silly, she was still amazed at the thickness of her own hair. She placed the head band on her head & asked Jerry “Is this better?” “Yeah” came a pleasant response from a happy kid. They played for some time & then she heard Michelle’s car outside.
Michelle walked in totally exhausted “I am sorry Jen I was held up at work. “It all right” replied Jenna. Michelle opened her purse to pay her. “Your hair looks so lovely in pigtails” remarked Michelle as she paid Jenna. “Thank you” said Jenna. “Could you please do me one more favor?” asked Michelle. “Would you please pay this money to Bob I really cannot go right now”. Jenna replied “all right”.
It was getting cloudy as she stepped out. As she was about to reach Bob’s saloon it started to drizzle. She rushed to the door & opened it. The shop was empty. “Bob” she called out. Bob came out from the cabin inside. “Hi there” said Bob. “I just came to pay the balance” said Jenna as she handed out the money to Bob. Suddenly there was a loud thunder & it started raining. “You came out in this heavy rain just t pay me?” said Bob. “It wasn’t rain....” Jenna tried to say when Bob interrupted her “Gosh its raining cats & dogs”. He walked up to the door & latched it & pulled the blinds on.
“I guess you will have to stay here a while till the rain stops” Even though Jenna did not wish to stay she realized she couldn’t go back for a while. She sat down at same bench & said “Bob I am sorry for being so rude today” Bob smiled back & said “you don’t have to apologize I understand” Jenna smiled. “But you will really be sorry for messing up your hair”. Jenna looked up with a surprise. “Wet hair in
braids can ruin you hair” said Bob as he walked behind the bench. “My hair isn’t wet…” Jenna tried to say turning her head to Bob behind her but Bob once again interrupted her “You don’t know how much wet hair can cause trouble” & picked up her left braid. Jenna noticed his hand going for the rubber band at the end of her braid. “Bob please” said Jenna “my hair is fine”. “Bob with a very serious look in his easy replied “would you trust me just once…..I am an expert on hair”. Jenna felt she was panicking again like the afternoon & turned around. She figured that, probably after unraveling a couple of knots Bob will see that her hair is all dry & leave it.
Bob on the other hand lifted the end of the braid, took off the rubber band & without Jenna notice, threw it in the dustbin lying next to him. He gently undid every single knot, savoring every moment of it. “How long have you been growing your hair?” asked Bob as she slipped off a couple of knots. “About eight years” replied Jenna. She noticed that Bob had nearly reached the base of the braid & to avoid any further undoing she quietly pulled her right braid on to her shoulder in the front.
Bob finished raking her braid out & stated running his fingers through her hair. “I have never seen such silky hair in my life” said Bob. “I suppose you can see my hair is dry” said Jenna. Bob walked up to a cabinet near him & took out a magazine. Jenna was gathering up her undone hair when Bob gave her the magazine. “Here read this while I finish” said Bob. Jenna was surprised as to what that meant as she held the magazine. The very next instant she got scared as Bob picked up her left braid. “Bob I don’t think this is such a good idea” said Jenna. “Will you just relax” said Bob peeling off the rubber band.
Jenna with some reluctance turned her attention to the magazine while Bob tossed the other rubber band in to the bin. He raked her hair out completely & this time gathered it all in a ponytail at her nape. He was getting collywobbles in his stomach as he held on to the massive thick, long, silky curtain of straight black hair in his hands. He took out a comb from his pocket & began combing her hair. He noticed the fine shape of her head & the hair that flowed from the roots to his grip & then falling down. “That feel good?” he asked as he combed her hair.
“Yes…thank you” she replied. “Come let me show you something inside he said. Jenna turned around & looked at him. Bob released her hair walked to her front. Jenna got up & said “what…where?”. Just inside said Bob pointing towards a door. “Ok” said Jenna “after you” said Bob. As Jenna walked towards the door she could feel Bob caressing her hair.
The room inside had a huge mirror with some strange barber chairs in front of it. The chairs could revolve & had armrests but their back was low. Bob took Jenna by the hand & lead her to one of the chairs. “Sit” he said the intense look in his eyes made Jenna sit in the chair but she was beginning to get uncomfortable. “These chairs have been specially made for our special customers” said Bob. “But…I am not your customer” said Jenna. “I know” he replied. “Just relax”. “I figured I could do something really nice with your hair” he said as he took something out of a drawer. “What do you mean?” asked Jenna in a terrified tone. “I mean this” said Bob wielding the object in his hand that he had just taken out of the drawer.
Jenna relaxed as she saw the hairbrush & big claw clip in his hand. Bob walked behind her, gathered her hair in his hands & put it behind the back of the chair. “So are you going to put up my hair in a bun or something?” “Just wait & watch….You probably thought I took out scissors” said Bob as he looked into the reflection of Jenna’s eyes in the mirror. “Yes” said a nervous Jenna. “For using scissors I first use a cape” he said trying to assure her that since she did not have a cape on she had nothing to worry about.
He brushed her silky glorious mane for a while & then put down his brush. Jenna kept staring in the mirror as to what he was doing. He inserted his fingers in her hair at began massaging her scalp. He did that till he noticed that Jenna was absolutely relaxed. Now he held her hair at the nape with both his hands & brought his head on top of Jenna’s right shoulder. They both stared at the mirror looking in to the reflection of each other’s eyes. “You are so pretty…. & your hair is so beautiful” he said running his left hand on her skull through her hair.
Jenna was in a double state of mind. She was getting nervous but at the same time she enjoying Bob’s gentle massage. You will look so good with your cut short” he said “Jenna immediately turned her head to look at him. Bob gripped a handful of her hair at the nape & brought it to his face. He smelt the hair & said “This is intoxicating”. Jenna was nervous now. He whispered into Jenna’s ear “I want to cut you hair Jenna & I am going to cut your hair…right now”. Jenna was like frozen with fear as Bob gathered her tresses in a ponytail at the nape in a firm grip of his left hand & with his right he reached out for a pair of big scissors from his back pocket.
Bob stared into the reflection of her eyes as a shiny pair of stainless steel scissors glinted in his right hand. Jenna gasped as Bob opened the blades with a snap. He wound her thick ponytail around his hand once & brought the open blades around the mass of hair held taught between her head & his hand. “Bob please….don’t cut my hair” pleaded Jenna tearfully. “I have waited a long time for this….its time for your hair to go” & saying so Bob pressed the handles of the scissors. Jenna’s head rocked slightly as the sharp blades chewed through the thick mass of hair. Tears running down her eyes Jenna kept pleading Bob to stop. “Ssccccrrruuunch” “Ssccccrrruuunch” “Ssccccrrruuunch” went the scissors as he hacked off her beautiful tresses. “Sschhhnnnniik” was the final snap as an almost 3 feet long thick mass of silky hair severed off from Jenna’s head
Jenna cried as she looked in the mirror at the ragged ends of her remaining hair which now barely reached her shoulders. Bob took out a small scissor & began cutting again. Tearfully Jenna saw as her once long tresses were now being reduced to a pixie cut. She closed her eyes & covered her face with her hands. Bob finished her cut & looked at her reflection “You look so much prettier now” he said. Jenna slowly removed her hands & looked at the new girl staring back at her from the mirror. Slowly her frown turned into a smile & she said “God…I look so different” Bob smiled as he saw Jenna move her hands over her newly shorn head.
Jenna got out of the chair & hugged Bob “thank you” she said. Just then she realized she still hadn’t paid him for Jerry’s shampoo. As she handed the money to Bob he said. You keep it I have got my payment. It had stopped raining. Bob watched as Jenna walked out of the shop caressing her new hairstyle.
