"No... No no no!" Regina looked in the mirror and stared at the offending piece of chewing gum in her hair. "How in the hell did this happen?!" She tried to pry it out, but only ended up making it worse and sticking more hair in it. She was furious and could probably kill the person who did this to her, but that wasn't her anymore.

She grabbed her phone and dialed the familiar number.
"Sheriff Swan." Emma picked up.
"Emma! Do you know how to get gum out of your hair?" The Queen sounded uncharacteristically desperate.
"Gum? As in chewing gum?"
"Yes! What else?!"
"Damn... You're going to have to cut it out of there."
"What?! Isn't there some clever trick to save it?"
"Well, I don't think you carry liquid nitrogen around." Emma chuckled.
"Don't get clever with me, Swan."
"You just told me... Nevermind... Do you want me to help you or not?" It was silent on Regina's end for a while.
"Yes."

After an hour of trying several things, Regina just handed Emma a pair of scissors.

"We will never speak of this again." She said and sat down.
"Yes, your majesty..." Emma sighed and slowly started cutting the woman's hair. She ended up cutting it into a bob and dusted off some stray hairs when she was done.

"You know, I kind of like this hairstyle on you." The blonde said and smiled at Regina. The woman conjured a mirror and took a look. She was honestly surprised her hair actually looked decent despite it being cut by Emma.
"You saved my hair..."
"Well, I am the Savior after all."
