About a week after Sam got her flattop, she was sitting in the kitchen, eating a sandwich, when the phone rang. Her mom called, and said that the Howells were going out of town tonight, so she needed Sam to watch her sisters until she got home. Matt walked in and asked who called. Sam said, "Oh, the Howells are going on vacation, so my sisters will be home around five tonight." "Ok, well, lets go to the barber shop for your shave, then we can spend the day together." Matt said, as he picked up his car keys and walked to the door. Sam, now able to walk by herself, followed him. Her leg turned out to have only a minor crack in it, so it was healing pretty quickly, although her shoulder and arm were still in bad shape, so the sling had to stay.
They arrived at the barber shop fairly early, so Sam didn't have to wait for her shave. Sam walked over to the red leather chair, and sat down. Tammy walked over and greeted her, and placed a clean white towel over her shoulders. Tammy took a hot towel from the sink, and wrapped it around Sam's head. While she was letting the towel soften Sam's stubble, Tammy stropped the straight razor on the leather strap, then stuck it under hot running water. Then Tamy took the towel off of Sam's head, and got a large amount of hot shaving lather from the dispenser. She rubbed it in to Sam's head, covering every inch of the stubble she was going to shave. Then she took the straight razor out of the sink, and wiped it off with a clean towel. She walked back to Sam's chair, pushed Sam's head down into her chest, and started to shave Sam's head. She shaved the back slowly. Sam was so relaxed as she felt the hot razor shave off the stubble on her head. When Tamy had finished the back of Sam's head, then she had Sam lift her head back up. Tammy started to shave the side of Sam's head. She slowly shaved up Sam's sideburns. The scraping made Sam dizzy. Tammy kept slowly shaving up the side of Sam's head until she was sure there was no more stubble. Then she turned the chair and started to shave the other side of Sam's head. The razor peeled away the hot lather and stubble from Sam's head. The cool air bit into her hot, freshly shaved skin. Tammy skillfully shaved the side until it was smooth like the others, then put the razor in the sink. She took a clean hot towel, and rubbed Sam's newly shaved head with it to clean off the extra lather. Then she said to Sam, "I'm going to just buzz over the top real quick here, then you'll be done, ok?" "Yeah, I guess the top needs buzzing, it's been a week since the last buzz." Sam replied. Tammy took the guard off the clippers, then took a large comb, and placed it on top of Sam's head. She popped them on, and started to buzz Sam's flattop. The clippers clicked as them ran over the comb, making a sensational vibration. Sam loved that feeling. It was all over too soon though, as Tammy turned the clippers off, then put them on the counter, and brushed the little hairs off of Sam's head and neck, then took a few drops of lavender talc, and rubbed it into Sam's freshly shaved head. The talc stung for a moment, but it cooled her head off from the hot shave. Tammy took the towel from Sam's shoulders, and rubbed Sam's fresh buzz. "Feels good Sam," Tammy said. Sam reached up and rubbed the buzzed flattop. "It's perfect, as always Tammy," she said as she paid Tammy, then she and Matt left the shop.
Sam and Matt spent the day together by the pool. They ordered a pizza so that when Sam's sisters got home, they wouldn't have to cook for them. They heard the car pull up at about five-o-five, and then heard little footsteps running up to the door. Matt answered the door, and helped them ring their bags in. He said, "Sammy's in the living room girls, why don't you go see her, and I'll join you when the pizza comes?" Matt offered. The girls just nodded and giggled and ran into the living room. Sam was laying on the couch, so her sisters couldn't see her until they got on the other side of the couch. Sam called to them, "Her come sit with me," and she stuck her hand over the top so they could see her. Sally was about to jump over the side of the couch when she saw Sam's head. She screamed, "Oh my god! What did you do?" "Oh, my hair. Well it's a long story, but I really like it. What do you think?" Sam said. "Wh wh why?" Sally said. "You're bald," Susie giggled." "Steph?" Sam said. Stephanie climbed on to Sam's lap, and reached onto Sam's head. She rubbed her little fingers over the flattop, and cooed, "Ooooh, it's so soft Sammy." Then as her fingers moved farther down, she touched the shaved skin. "It's pretty Sammy." Stephanie said, as she continued to rub her sister's shaved head. "Go ahead, feel it," Sam said to Sally and Susie. Sally and Susie each put a hand o Sam's head, and gently rubbed her shaved skin. "It is soft Sam. I like it." Susie said. "Yeah, it's soft, but you're practically bald. Why did you do that?" Sally asked. "Well, when I got in that accident, I had to get a sling," Sam said, patting her sling on her shoulder. "The sling was rubbing up against the back of my neck, and leaving little red bumps all over it." Sam said. "Literally, it was awful. I had bumps up to here," Sam touched the back of her head, a few inched below her flattop. "So I went to the barber to see what she thought I should do about it. There were a couple of other styles, but I thought I would look silly with longer hair on top, and shaved back and sides, so I decided on a flattop." Sam said rubbing the top of her head. "It looks great with the sides and back shaved, but still leaves me a little bit of hair on top." Sam finished. "what are you girls chit chatting about now?" Matt said as he came in with the pizza. "Oh, just about our week," Sam said. They ate dinner, then all went for a boat ride before they went to bed.
Sam's three sisters came to the barber shop for the first time the next day, when Sam got her head shaved again. They all sat in the waiting station, staring at Sam and Tammy. Neither one of them said a word the whole time they were there, until Sam was done, and Tammy walked over and said, "Who's next?" All three girls jumped back, and Sam said, "oh, they were just spending the day with me, they didn't come for haircuts." Tammy laughed, and said, "Ok, but if you ever change your mind, just come on back. Sam laughed as she paid and walked out to Matt's car, and he drove them home. The girls accompanied Sam to get her head shaved the next day, and then the next. They seemed to almost enjoy it. The next day, Sam was about ready to go to the barber shop, when she had her sisters come to her room. "You know, I bet you would all really like haircuts today. Tammy does a really nice job, and I bet she'd have time to fit the three of you in this morning if we get there early enough." Sam said. The three little sisters thought about it for a moment, then Sally said, "That sounds good. I don't want my hair as short as your though Sam." Yeah, me too." Susie said. "I want my hair just like yours Sammy," Stephanie said. "Ok, lets get going then." Sam said as the our of them walked downstairs and out to Matt's car.
When they arrived at the barber shop, Tammy was just finishing up a customer. They got out of the car, and Sam said to Matt, "Why don't you come back in about two hours or so?" "Ok, why though?" Matt said. "Oh, you'll see." Sam said, as she closed the car door and waved to Matt. The four sisters walked into the shop and sat down. All three of Sam's sisters had excited looks on their faces. The man Tammy had finished paid, then left, so the shop was all theirs. Sam walked over to the chair, and sat down. Tammy shaved Sam's head in no time at all, and walked over to the cash register. Sam stopped her and said, "Oh, my sisters would all like haircuts today Tammy." Surprised, Tammy walked back to the chair and said, "Ok, who's first?" "Sally, you're the oldest, why don't you go first." Sam said, as she motioned for Sally to come sit down. "Now, what are we doing here?" Tammy said. "Um, I kind of want it like Sam's was, short back here," Sammy said, pointing to her neck. "Ok, some kind of bob then? How short? Chin length, below the ears, above the ears, what do you think?" Tammy said. Sally looked at Sam. Sam said, "how about you cut it to about here," Sam said, pointing ti her sisters earlobes, "then shave it up about this high," Sam said, pointing to a spot on the back of Sammy's head. "Ok, sounds great, let's get started." Tammy said, as she took a tissue out of the dispenser, and wrapped it tightly around Sally's neck. Then she snapped a cape around it, and then got a rubber band out of the drawer. She put Sally's hair in a ponytail, and picked up her scissors. Tammy held them at the base of Sally's head, and said to Sally, "ready?" Sally just nodded, but she closed her eyes tightly. She heard a loud shnick, as Tammy chopped her ponytail off. Sally was overcome by emotions. She started to cry a little. Tammy said, "Oh, honey, I'm sorry. It's a big change from such long hair, but we don't have to go as short as you said a minute ago. Sally shook her head and said, "No, just do it how I said." "If you're sure," Tammy said, as she opened the drawer and pulled out the big Oster clippers. She put a number two guide on them, and said, "last chance to turn back." "I'm ready," Sally said as she closed her eyes again. Sally jumped as she heard the loud POP of Tammy turning the clippers on. Then the low hummmmmm that followed. Tammy firmly pushed Sally's head into her chest, and put the clippers at the bast of Sally's nape. She slowly buzzed a path up Sally's neck. Buzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzzz. Sally became dizzy from the vibrating clippers buzzing at her nape. Sally pulled the clippers away, and buzzed another path. Buzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzz. Sally slowly buzzed a nice rounded area on Sally's nape. She buzzed higher in the middle, where she was going to cut the hair inverted a bit. She continued to buzz until the area was to her satisfaction, then turned the clippers off. Sally slowly lifted her head up, and felt how much lighter it was. she shook her head from side to side. Tammy smiled, and picked up the scissors. She started cutting Sally's hair. Before long, she had finished cutting. Then she said to Sally, "Now, do you want me to give you bangs?" Sally looked at Sam, who said, "why not?" So Tammy placed the scissors at Sally's forehead, and snipped out two inch bangs. Tammy decided not to cut them as short as she had cut Sam's. Then Tammy put the scissors down and said to Sally, "Ok, now you said you wanted me to shave your nape. Does that mean you want it buzzed, like it is now, or shaved smooth, like Sam's?" Again, Sally looked to Sam for advice. Sam said, "Why don't you just shave it at her hairline, sort of taper it." "Ok," Tammy said, as she removed the cape from Sally's shoulders, and replaced it with a clean white towel. Then she dabbed a little bit of hot lather on Sally's hairline and got the straight razor out of the sink. She ran it under some hot water, then dried it off. She walked back to Sally and told her to sit very still. Tammy carefully shaved Sally's hairline. She shaved one long stroke across, then shaved several short stroked upwards, for the tapered effect. Then she put the straight razor on the counter, and got a hot washcloth. She wiped Sally's nape, then took the towel off of her shoulders, and said, "There you go, an angled bob with a shaved nape." Then Tammy handed her the mirror, and told her to take a look. Sally looked into the mirror, and smiled. She kept smiling, and her smile kept getting bigger. Then she jumped down from the chair, and ran over to her sister and gave Sam a big hug. Susie skipped over to the chair and hopped in. "What can I do for you?" Tammy said. "Um, I want what Sally has, but I want the back like Sammy's is." Susie said. Tammy smiled and said, "super," as she put a tissue and the cape around Susie's neck. She put Susie's hair in a ponytail, and cut through it with the scissors. Tammy had a bit of a harder time cutting through Susie's hair though, it was much thicker. She picked up the clippers and popped them to life. Susie watched her sisters, so immediately bent her head down. Tammy slowly pushed the clippers up her neck. She left behind a one inch wide path of fuzz. Buzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzz. Then she stopped, and took out a hair clip. She combed off Susie's hair pretty high, and clipped a section off. Then she turned the clippers back on and continued to buzz up Susie's nape. She buzzed up much higher though. Susie didn't realize that, and just kept her head down. Tamy buzzed path after path of Susie's thick brown hair. By the time she was done, there was quite a large pile of her hair on the floor. Tammy put the clippers on the counter, and cut Susie's hair. She didn't cut Susie's hair in the back as high as she had buzzed it though. When she finished, she trimmed Susie's bangs up, and then once again clipped Susie's hair up on top of her head. Then she took the guard off the clippers, and turned them on. The cold steel buzzing up her neck made Susie shiver. Susie stared at the ground as she saw little tufts of her hair float to the ground as Tammy buzzed on. Tammy finally finished, and then took the cape off Susie's neck. She laid a towel over her shoulders, and had her keep her head down. Tammy re-clipped Susie's hair so it was out of the way, then rubbed her neck with a steaming hot towel. Then Tammy rubbed in a nice thick layer of hot lather into Susie's nape. She rinsed the straight razor off, then dried it, and sharpened it. Then she again rinsed it in the hot water and dried it off. She said to Susie, "now your hair is very thick, so the razor is extra sharp. You are going to have to sit very still." Susie did not move a muscle as Tammy shave her nape. Tammy shaved very high up. She shaved in slow long strokes, and shaved over each spot at least twice, until she was sure it was all smooth. Then she took a hot washcloth, and rubbed the lather off of Susie's nape, then towel dried it off. She had Susie lift her head back up and she unclipped her hair. She combed it out a minute, then took the towel off her shoulders, and brushed her neck and shoulders off. She took a couple drop of lavender talc, and rubbed it into Susie's freshly shaved nape, then said, "All finished. I gave you an undercut of one and a half inches, shaved up higher one and a half inches, so that your hair will lay flatter." Then Tammy held the mirror out to Susie. Susie didn't bother to look in the mirror, she just ran straight to her sister, with her hands on her nape. She gave Sam a big hug, then said down so Sam could take Stephanie for her haircut. Sam said to Tammy, "No Steph wants a flattop, like mine. I would like you to leave the top at about half an inch, then the back at an eighth or so. You can shave the back up about this high, "Sam pointed to Steph's head, "But don't shave all the way up." "Sounds good!" Tammy said, as she put the booster seat on the chair for Stephaine to sit on. Sam lifted her sister into the chair, and said to her, "do you want me to stay here, or can I go back and sit down?" "Go back and sit down," Stephanie said bossily. Sam went and sat with Susie and Sally. Tammy wrapped a fresh tissue tightly around Stephanie's neck, and snapped a cape around it. Then Tammy took her scissors and cut Stephanie's hair off at her neckline. Tammy put the scissors down, and picked up the clippers. She fixed a longer guide on them, and turned them on. The loud POP sounded, and the hum followed. Tammy firmly pushed Stephanie's head into her chest, and put the clippers at Steph's hairline. Slowly, she started to run the clippers up Stephanie's small head. Her soft, fine hair floated to the ground. Tammy buzzed all the way up to the top of Stephanie's head. Buzzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzzz. Then she pulled the clippers back, and started the next path. Buzzzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzz. Tammy made one more pass up the back of Stephanie's head, then lifted it up. Then she put the clippers in front of Steph's little ear. Stephanie shivered as the clippers buzzed up her sideburns. With three passes, the whole left side of her head was buzzed to one inch long hair. Then Tammy buzzed the other side of Steph's head. Tammy then placed the clippers on Stephanie'd forehead, and pushed them back, making a path down the center of her head. Buzzzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzzz. Tammy buzzed and buzzed the hair off of Steph's little head. She stopped to put another guide on them, then popped them right back on. She buzzed the top of Steph's hair first this time, then turned the clippers off, and put a smaller guide on them. Tammy turned them on again, ans pushed Stephanie's head down, then buzzed the big Oster clippers up her head. Buzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzzz. She buzzed up the back, then buzzed up one side then buzzed up the other side. Then she took the guide off and picked up the comb. She buzzed straight across Steph's head, shaping the flattop. Once she was done, she called Sam over. Sam took a good look at her sister's hair, and listened as Tammy said, "You know, Her hair is so thin that it won't stay up very well, unless you buzz it shorter." "You're right," Sam said. "How short were you thinking?" "Well, I was going to buzz the to down to a quarter inch, then do the back and sides with a zero. "Ok, just use your best judgment." Sam said, walking back to her chair. "We're going shorter!" Tammy said as she clicked the Osters back on and placed them, guard less at the base of Steph's neck. The cold steel on Steph's warm skin made her flinch. She soon settled down though, as Tammy buzzed the clippers up her neck, peeling away her hair, and leaving behind a path of stubble. Buzzzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzzz. She stripped swath after swath of Steph's soft baby hair away from her head. Little tufts rolled down the cape, tickling her. Then Tammy started to re-buzz the side of Steph's head. She buzzed that side, then swiftly buzzed the other side. Then she got the comb back out, and started to buzz the top down to about one fourth of an inch. Buzzzzzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzz. Little Stephanie enjoyed that buzzing feeling. Soon the hair on top of her head was all buzzed down to one fourth of an inch. Sam saw Tammy putting the clippers down, and walked over to inspect. "You know, why don't you just give her the same as me Tammy. Her hair is so thin that it probably won't stand up at one eighth." Tammy laughed, and put the one eighth guide. "I want you to shave the sides like mine too. Then she'll have a real flattop like her sister." Sam said, then she walked back to her seat and sat down. Tammy turned the clippers on once more, and buzzed across the top of Stephanie's head. She buzzed it all off, leaving the one eighth inch hairs standing at attention. Then she flicked the guide off and picked up the comb. She placed the comb on top of Stephanie's head, and buzzed over it. Tammy buzzed over and over the comb, until she was sure the hair was flat. She finished shaping the flattop, then turned the clippers off and put them in the drawer. Then she unsnapped the cape around Stephanie's neck, and replaced it with a big white towel. Stephanie had a big smile on her face. She was getting excited. Tammy brought over a hot towel, and wrapped it around Steph's head. Then she stropped the straight razor on the leather strap, and stuck it under the hot running water. She walked back to the chair and took the towel off of Stephanie's head. Then she got a large blob of hot shaving lather, and applied it to Stephs head. She runned it all in, then washed and dried her hands off. Then she took the straight razor out of the sink, and dried it off. She walked back to the chair and said to Stephanie, "Now sit very still sweetheart. I don't want to cut your soft skin when I shave you." Tammy gently pushed Stephanie's head into her chest. Carefully, Tammy placed the straight razor at the base of Stephanie's neck. She slowly shaved upwards. Stephanie liked the way it scraped all of the little hairs off her head. Tammy shaved the next section, then wiped the blade. She moved to the next area, and shaved up. She shaved all the way up to the flattop. When she finished shaving the back, she lifted Stephanie's head, and shaved her sideburn right off. She shaved all the way up, then wiped the blade. She did this again and again. Then Tammy shaved her other sideburn off. She slowly shaved the other side of Steph's head. Then she dabbed a little more hot lather onto the edges around the flattop. She ran the straight razor under the hot water fro a few more seconds, then wiped it off and walked back to the chair. She held Stephanie's head firmly in one hand. She used her other hand to shave around the flattop, leaving a tapered look. She shaved the edges three times to make sure it was all even. Then she stuck the straight razor in the sink, and got another hot towel. She went back to Stephanie in the big red leather chair, and put the hot towel over her head. Tammy gently rubbed Stephanie's head down with the hot wash cloth, making sure there were no traces of hairs or hot lather from the shaving. Then she ran her fingers around the back and sides of Stephanie's head, which was as sort as a baby's bottom, where she had just shaved. She dried her hands once more, and put a few drops of eucalyptus talc in her hand. Then she gently massaged the talc into Stephanie's newly shaved head. She decided to use the eucalyptus talc instead of lavender or lilac because it wouldn't sting little Stephanie's baby soft shaved skin. She reached into her drawer, and got out a lollypop, and handed it to Stephanie. "You were a very good little girl Stephanie. You were very patient with Sammy and I changing your new haircut so much." Tammy said as she smiled and lifted Stephanie off of the chair. Stephanie ran over to her sisters, and gave Sam a big hug. "How does my hair look Sammy?" She asked excitedly. "Oh, it's just beautiful Steph. Would you like to see for yourself?" Sam asked as she walked back to the station where Tammy was cleaning up, and took the mirror off the counter and held it up for Stephanie to see. "So, what do you think of the new you Stephanie?" Sam asked as she gave her sister's head a gentle rub. Stephanie carefully studied herself in the mirror. "Is that me?" She asked, with a huge smile creeping across her face. "Yup, I think the shaved look suits you very well. I don't know a prettier girl with a flattop." Sam said hugging her sister. "Oh, you are the prettiest." Stephanie said. "Why thank you, but you really are the prettiest." Sam said back, in a teasing way. Stephanie was just about to say something when Matt walked into the barber shop. "Holy shit!" Matt exclaimed. "Excuse me?" Sam said. "Oh, sorry, holy cow." Matt said, blushing. "Your mom's gonna kill you. Stephanie has a flattop just like you." "Oh, mom mom will be mad, but she won't be home for about a week, so we'll have time to think up an excuse." Sam laughed. "Well, you all look very pretty girls." Matt said walking over to them. Sam put Stephanie down, and gave Matt a hug. "How about we celebrate your new haircuts with some ice cream at Yummies?" Matt suggested. "Yeah!" All three girls cheered as they ran towards the door. "Aren't you forgetting something?" Sam asked. "Oh, thank you Mrs. Barber lady." Stephanie said. "Thanks Tammy," Sally and Susie said unison. "Thanks so much Tammy. They really like their new haircuts." Sam said as she paid Tammy, and walked out the door, hand in hand with Matt
