Short Character Stories (Mainly about Johnny Depp)

Cutting Johnny Depp's hair (64)

This story will be set in April 2024 a couple weeks before the Jeanne Du Barry Premiere in London on the 15th of April.

Johnny and you were dating, you'd been together since 2020, and you'd watched along as his hair grew and grew over the last few years. Johnny got a phone call from Dior saying they wanted to film a new advert for them so today was the day he needed his hair cutting.

Johnny just got out of the shower and he was standing in only a towel. "Do you think today will be the day we say goodbye to each other?" He turned to the corner of his bedroom where he had a giant full body mirror and stared into it. He put his fingers through his hair and wafted his hair all over the place.

"Us or you and your precious hair?" You teased while laying on the bed, still in your pyjamas.

"My hair and I. I think I'm going to have to have it cut today. I guess I better call my hair stylist-"

"Or I could do it!" You suggested. "I've cut hair people's hair before."

"But you cut girls hair-"

"I've cut my dad's hair before too. I bet I can cut yours. How do you need it to be cut?"

"I just need it to be a lot shorter. Maybe just below the ears."

"I bet I could do that, Johnny." You got up and played with his hair as he stared at himself in the mirror. You bunched the long parts up and tucked them behind the back of his head. "So you want it to be this short?"

"Yeah, I want some longer bits at the front, but yeah, mostly a lot shorter compared to how it is now."

"Ok. I bet I can do it. Do me a favour and wet your hair in the bathroom sink and I'll go and grab my scissors and combs."

"But my hair is already wet!"

"Just wet it a little more."

Johnny walked back into the bathroom and put some water on his head so it was damper. You then returned with a comb, brush, and scissors.

"Ok, sit down on the floor and I'll start brushing your hair to make sure their are no tangles in it." You did that then you started combing it with a comb. Once it was wet and tangle-free you started trimming the long parts.

The long parts were easy to chop off, but once the hair got short it was more stressful. You needed to make sure you were cutting it correctly because if it was wrong it'd look really bad and Johnny would never forgive you. After about 10 minutes you were able to cut it and all you needed to do was tidy it up. You trimmed some of the ends and waited for Johnny approval.

"That's good. Can you trim these bits at the front?"

"Yep."  You cut a little more. "Is that good?"

"Yes and a little more here?"

"Ok." Before long it was done. "I think that's it." You helped to dust Johnny off and let him stand up and do a twirl in front of the mirror.

He smiled. "I like it! It suits me, right?"

"Yes. I love it!"

Johnny smiled and kissed you on the lips as a thank you. "Damn, I look so different."

"I know, but I honestly prefer it. I always thought you looked hottest with shorter hair. You look 20 years younger already!"

"Hmm, great. Thanks for cutting it, baby."

"You're welcome."
