I entered.
If you are a bottom from the hood, you know that feeling you get when walking into a barbershop. All those big black fine ass brothas just sitting their getting a cut, talking shit, selling something, playing a video game or even sitting there waiting. Goddamn i haven't seen so many shades of fine in a while ! I beeped beans truck. All eyes shot to me, men gawked at me and my big ass fro mullet thing. I sat down, not making eye contact with anybody. I sat back and picked up a magazine.
IBN: Can i help you ?
Me : Uhh yeah, i just need a cut.
IBN: Appointment ?
Me: Oh no, i was hoping to get a walk in. As you can see i got a big thing going on up here
IBN: yea,i see.
I looked down at IBN sneakers. He had on some bread 11's, they were a bit ragged but the nigga was fine. He had a low cut with some swimmers that would drown a fucking whale . He had on some big ass jeans , i could see his gun print under his smock that read IBN.
I followed him to his chair.
IBN: Soo, we cutting it all off kid ?
Me: Yea , i think i want a low cut caesar with some deep waves.
I was jokingly repeating the destiny child lyrics. He looked at me like he was confused, however the young lady braiding a guys hair thought it was funny.
IBN: Rd, gone over to the shampoo station. Sister gonna hook you up
I walked over, there was a frail looking girl with some big ass titties. She was reading a book for cosmetology.
S: Hello, Welcome to Mecca
Me: Thank you
S: Omg, what you getting done? Some braids ? i know it's gonna be cute with a shape up
Me: No, Im cutting it all off.
S: Your cutting all this long ass hair off ?! I can sell this shit
Me: Yea, i think i'm ready for a change
S: MM, i know thats right ! Man problems?
Me: Excuse me miss thing ?
S: Chile, i can tell you go for the boys ! i see it all in this nice ass body you got going on. Aint no bitch rubbing on you
I burst into laughter
Me: You're a firecracker, How old are you ?
S: Im 16
Me: Studying for hair school ?
S: Chile, hair school ain't about nothing. I been doing hair since i was 13, i know everything about hair. My father let me take my ged early, however he wont let me take the state boards until im 18. He fears i'll be too big
Me: Mmm, He cant stop you from popping honey.
S: right, but he's my abu and i'd never disobey him.
Me: Well when you get ready to make you some money baby, i have 6 shops. You pick one and i'll give you a chair. Only if your as good as you say you are
S: OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH !
She leaned in and hugged my neck .
She wrapped my hair with a towel and took me back to IBN.
IBN: Rd Mr Ceaser
He set me up with the cape and sanex.
Then he started clipping, i began to cry when i saw it fell. I cried silently but still. IBN was moving all around my head, he peeped i shed a tear and couldn't help but laugh.
