The Under-appreciated Housewives Fantasy

Chapter 3

Tina took a deep breath and then walked through the door.

She was met by a small woman, or girl to be more accurate. She looked to be about eighteen. She was about five feet tall with slim features and short shoulder length blonde hair. She wore a tight pair of black exercise shorts and a loose white singlet.

"Hi Tina, my names Britney. But you can call me Brit. I'm going to be your hairdresser today." Brit spoke rapidly, giving Tina barely enough time to process what she was saying before careening onto her next sentence. "Oh and this is Rita. She'll be doing your manicure and pedicure today." Brit motioned towards a small asian woman who looked to be in her mid twenties. The woman smiled and nodded at her in greeting. Brit motored on. "Rita doesn't talk much. But don't worry I can talk enough for the both of us. Now how about we get you ready. I'm going to do your cut and colour first then we'll follow with a wash, blow dry and styling. Just hop up in this chair for us and relax." Brit motioned towards a black leather hairdressers chair behind her. Tina stepped past her slowly and climbed onto the chair. Finally getting an opportunity to speak, she asked. "Do you want to know how I have my hair?" Like most people she felt trepidation at letting an unknown hairdresser near her hair. Brit just gave a small laugh like someone who was humouring a child. She draped an apron across Tina, clipping it around her neck. "Don't worry dear, you just sit back and relax and everything will be perfect."

Tina forced herself to relax "Oh well," she thought. "If this goes pear shaped I'll be holding Kyle responsible."

Brit and Rita went to work. Both had very different methods. Where Rita went about her work, quietly and diligent doing Tinas nails. Brit was quite the opposite, she flittered back and forth from one side of Tina to the other, constantly chatting in a way that seemed to epitomise a stereotypical hairdresser. The topics ranged through a whole spectrum of things, from celebrity gossip, the weather, politics, sport and relationships. At one point she put Tina on the spot when she enquired. "How did you like the Romance and Relaxation room?" Tina could see from the look in her eyes that Brit knew what went on in that room.

"It was very nice, I feel very relaxed now." Her cheeks darkened to a light shade of red.

"I'll bet you are. We get one session a week free as part of working here. It is ah-mazing! Pro tip for you. Next time you come, get on all fours when you get in the bath." She winked at Tina. "You can thank me later." She gave Tina a big grin.

"Oh thanks." Replied Tina. "I don't know if there'll be a next time. This time was all a bit of a surprise."

Brit laughed. "Honey there's always a next time." She continued talking, rapidly changing subjects until finally Tinas hair and nails were done.

"Okay hun, now I just need to do your makeup. Then you can continue onto the next phase."

Tina looked down, admiring her bright red nails. She loved having them done, it seemed silly, but she just felt sexier when they were freshly painted. "Kyle likes to laugh at me for getting my nails done. He always says 'Damn check out that girls nails! Said no guy ever.'"

"Well you just tell him to shut his face. Your nails are just a small piece of the whole picture. Would he want to drive a fast car thats got a couple of hub caps missing? No, he wants the car with the flash looking alloy rims. These nails are your flash rims. If he keeps carrying on after that, then you just ask him how much he spent on his car or his Xbox lately and watch him run away from the conversation quick smart!"

Tina grinned at her, she didn't even bother trying to reply and Brit didn't wait for it.

"Alright hun, that's your makeup and hair all done. Follow me over to the mirror." Tina rose slowly and Brit guided her across the room to where there was a full length mirror set against a white wall.
