“How does that look, Mrs. Thompson?” I asked, standing behind the woman seated in my chair. I’d been a hairdresser since my early twenties and loved my profession. I didn’t consider myself creative in the traditional sense, but when it came to hair, finding the best cut for someone’s face or the right color for their skin tone, I knew I had a talent. I enjoyed helping people feel like the most beautiful version of themselves.
“You do amazing work, Katy,” Mrs. Thompson said. “I wasn’t sure I’d like going this short, but I should have known, if you thought it would look good, then it would. I also like how you went a little lighter with the color.”
“I think it’s perfect for summer. Both the cut and the color. When fall comes, we can let it grow a little longer and take the color a bit darker.”
