Hello there! Come on in! Don’t just stand there! Come and take a seat!

Oh my gosh! Your hair is amazing! So silky, so shiny! I am going to work my magic on your hair! You hear me? You are going to look like a million bucks!

B

Okay. Um... can you make sure my sideburns are even and you just take a little off the top.

A

Don’t you worry, I’ll take care of everything! ( starts cutting) Oh my god! I just love your curly hair! It’s so fluffy and cute! You should totally let it grow out. An afro would look great on you!

Um... no.
