-I- Forgotten at the hair dresser's

[Elin]

I went to cut my hair today, as my hair had grown loads since I
cut my hair short.

I had an appointment at 1.30 pm. They were running late, so after
5-10 minutes of waiting, a helper (or something) wet my hair, and
I got to sit down. OK, and then I sat there waiting. And waiting.
And waiting. Then the hair dresser realised she had forgotten me,
and then I had been sitting there with wet hair for 20 minutes.

I really like having short hair, but it's so darn expensive to
cut my hair, so I might grow it long again...

A helper monkey! I wonder how much they get paid, or is it more like an
intern arrangement? :) [1]

I would guess it was a student in junior high having her
"practical work" week. Which you don't get payed for. It's normal
to have a week like that, to have a look into "real work life".

I have heard that same thing from other friends. Why is it that everyday low
maintance hair eats up one's pocketbook? That's tragic.

Personally, I have never had terribly short hair. The longest I've ever worn
my hair was just past my shoulders, I think. Then there was that time when I
was nine years old and my hairdresser at the time decided it would be fun to
cut my hair into a "V" in the back, which would have been fine if it hadn't
taken the next five years to even out. Then their was the time three years ago
when I was stressed emotinally and my hair began falling out. Then the
chemicals the hair dresser used to straightnen my hair began to take their toll
and I just looked a mess. I realized I liked having hair. So, I put myself
into a healthier frame of mind and nixed the chemicals. Now my hair is growing
long and thick again. Cool.

Down with chemical relaxers!

Before I begin to explain some of the options and available services here at Outskirts Press, I want to give you my overall impression of your work: You have a terrific writing style. I can tell that you have done much planning and preparation in crafting your work - especially the way you have thought out the characters and movement that happens in the story. This is not an easy feat. Your prose is very nicely written with details that capture the reader. Right from the start your plot was very engaging and I found myself really connected with what was going on. It is easy to have too much going on too soon - not in your case. Your plot is slow and methodical and you use your dialogue to move the plot along. With that being said, you really do a nice job of slowly making your way through the story with details and a certain voice (yours as the author) that allows your reader to really interact with the characters (who are all round and very nicely developed). Your characters are lifelike and I love it when I leave a story feeling like I know them. You have a realistic plot and to me that makes for an enjoyable story. You have crafted a quality piece of writing. Bravo!
