Victor(ia)'s Secret

5. A new haircut

On that sunny afternoon, Aunt Linda cheerfully gathered Victoria and Mia from their playroom, announcing their exciting trip to the hairdresser. Victor's heart raced with a mix of anticipation and nervousness. He had never been to a hairdresser's before dressed like a girl, and the thought of getting a hairstyle suitable for a little girl made him very apprehensive. His aunt woudn't do that to him, would she?

Aunt Linda, with her warm smile and nurturing nature, busily prepared 'Victoria' for their outing. She rummaged through Mia's wardrobe, carefully selecting a cute floral dress that would fit Victor's petite frame. As she helped him change, Victor couldn't help but feel a sense of vulnerability and innocence that he hadn't experienced since childhood.

"Alright, Victoria, let's make sure you're all dolled up for our special day," Aunt Sarah said, her voice filled with affectionate encouragement. She gently brushed Victoria's hair, gathering it into a high ponytail adorned with a dainty pink ribbon. "There we go, sweetie. You look absolutely adorable!"

Victor glanced at his reflection in the mirror, astonished by the transformation. The sight of himself as Victoria, with a sweet and innocent hairstyle, filled him with a mixture of amazement and a touch of self-consciousness. He realized that this experience was really pushing the boundaries of his comfort zone, but he was determined to try and embrace it, as he didn't want to upset his aunt.

With Victor's hand held securely in Aunt Linda's, they made their way to the hair salon. The air was filled with the familiar scent of hair products, and the sound of scissors snipping and friendly chatter echoed throughout the room. The hairdressers greeted the trio with warm smiles and complemented 'Victoria' on 'her' appearance bringing a blush to his face.

One of the hairdressers, a woman with a warm smile, asked: "Well then, what can we do for you today?"

Aunt Linda returned the smile, her voice filled with affection. "We're here for a little makeover for my niece, Victoria. We thought it would be fun to try something new and playful today."

The other hairdressers, now aware of their presence, joined in, their eyes sparkling with excitement. "Oh, how delightful! We love creating new looks," one of them exclaimed.

Victor felt a mixture of nervousness and anticipation as all eyes turned towards him. He took a deep breath, hoping they didn't discover he was really a boy.

The first hairdresser approached Victor, her tone filled with enthusiasm. "Well, Victoria, we're thrilled to have you here! Let's get you a new hairstyle that will make you shine."

Victor couldn't help but smile at the hairdresser's welcoming demeanor. "Thank you," he replied, his voice a little soft but gaining confidence. "I'm... I'm excited to see what you can do."

Aunt Linda explained what she wanted to the hairdresser, who listened attentively, nodding understandingly. "Of course, we'll make sure Victoria gets the perfect little girl's hairstyle," the hairdresser assured them, her tone gentle and reassuring.

As Victoria settled into the cozy salon chair next to Mia, his mind buzzed with a mix of excitement and a lingering sense of self-consciousness. The hairdressers draped a soft, colorful cape around their shoulders, fastening it gently but securely. The cape, adorned with playful cartoon characters, made Victor feel both childlike and oddly comforted.

The hairdresser began her work with care and precision. She started by combing Victor's hair, detangling each strand delicately. As the scissors glided through his hair, Victor couldn't help but feel a sense of liberation and surrender. The weight of his worries and responsibilities seemed to fade away, replaced by a whimsical innocence that he hadn't allowed himself to embrace in years.
