The NSYNC tour came to town this week and since the venue was outside, they were forced to endure our 90 degree weather during their sound check and rehearsal. (Not to mention the humidity to match.) Well, since the concert was not until later that evening each of the boys decided to go get a haircut to help cool off. Only one of them showed up at my shop. Justin. Timberlake. Deep blue eyes. Thick tightly curled, blond hair. Lately, he’s let it grow and mop out.
He came in and looked at me and sat down in the chair and said to chop it all off. (It was very hard not to jump up and down and shout yes!!!!!!) Cape around his neck. Click on the attachment less clippers. Tilt head forward. Charge!!!!!!!
Buzz straight back across the top of his head. Several inches of thick, tight, blond curls fell to the cape. Buzz back, slowly and firmly. Curls on cape fuzz on head. Again and again. Buzz leave nothing but fuzz. To the right. Shave off sideburn and continue up the side of the head. More blond curls fall to the cape and the floor. Over and over again up the right side of his head reducing all those lovely blond curls to stubble.
Around his ear and to the back. Buzz up. Curls down. Stubble left. Buzz again and again. Masses of beautiful blond curls cascade to the floor. Around to the left side. Buzz around his ear. Curls shower the cape. Shave off left sideburn and buzz on up the side of his head. More stubble left.
Straight up the left side of his head. Over and over until all the blond curls are buzzed down to stubble. Run the clippers all over his head several time rubbing my hand over his head as I buzz along slowly and firmly. Mmm, mmm good!!! Click off clippers.
Shaving lotion. Apply generously, slowly all over. Mach 3. Swipe up the left side of his head. Rub my fingers up. Slow, steady swipe. Slow firm rub. All the way around his head. Swipe, rub. To the back and around to the right. Glide the Mach 3 slowly and carefully removing all that stubble.
To the top!!! Long, slow swipe straight back. Long, slow rub straight back. Over and over back across the top of his head. Mach 3 back. Stubble gone. Then lather up again. Out comes the straight razor. As before. Swipe and rub. Slowly and carefully all over his head. Nothing but smoothed and polished. Shave that very handsome face. (I could have fallen into those eyes. Down boy.) Tonic time. Slowly and firmly, massage the tonic all over his head and face several times. Towel down. (His head you dolt.)
He gets up and double takes in the mirror and like you really chopped it all off. (Oh, oh, it his the fan time.) Mmm. He stands there rubbing his hands all over his bald head looking at himself and then cocks his head to one side and smiles. Then he laughs. Casey & I were given tickets and backstage passes. Can you say Bye, bye, bye.
