Frances Del Monte, Vivian Furlish, and Amy Richardson sat in three side by side chairs
at Snippets Salon while Liam and Genevieve applied the appropriate mix of color to each
of their heads of hair. Magazines lay open on their laps, but they were too busy talking
among themselves to be bothered with catching up on the latest Hollywood gossip. With all
the goings on, there was enough scandal of their own to keep them gabbing for a few weeks
at the very least. Wearing a simple white blouse, thigh-high
black leather boots with her signature mini-mini skirt, kohl black eyes and flaming red lips,
Genevieve had the appearance of goth vamp meets school girl, which is likely the look
she was after. Her newly cut and bleached hair was teased into a beehive up-do. Without
a doubt she turned heads, and not because her look was outlandish, but because she was
drop dead gorgeous. "You ladies seem to be enjoying each other's
company," said Genevieve. "I like it.” She smiled at the three women while she dabbed
the last of the auburn to Fran’s roots. Liam had just placed the dryer hood over Vivian’s
head. “Can you keep it on low, honey? I can’t
hear when it’s on high. I don’t want to miss anything, you know.”
“Not a problem, Vivian.” Liam set the dial and a soft purr followed. Then he returned
to Amy. “Do you want yours on low too?” He asked
sarcastically. “Are you kidding me? Of course I do. Besides,
Mrs. Furlish over there speaks very softly.” She laughed at the quizzical look on her face.
She obviously hadn’t heard a thing. Liam placed a few more foils in Amy’s long
locks before setting the dryer on her, while Genevieve came around and set down sterilized
scissors and combs on the side tables beside each chair, and stacked clean, folded towels
in the open cupboard. The front door was locked with a Closed for Lunch sign on it. The three
women knew they were getting special treatment and loved it.
“All righty, I'll leave you three alone to your chit chat while your color sets. Just
holler if you need anything, okay?" Genevieve followed Liam into the staff room
and closed the door behind her.
