Lady Agnew of Lochnaw (1892) 🎨 John Singer Sargent 🏛️ National Galleries Scotland 📍 Edinburgh, Scotland

Sargent’s dazzling and unforgettable image of Lady Agnew is one of the most famous of his many portraits of fashionable London society. For both the artist and his sitter, the painting was an instant success, establishing Sargent’s reputation as the portrait painter of choice for the London elite and immediately transforming the newly elevated Lady Agnew into a society celebrity.

Sargent was born in Florence and spent his childhood travelling across Europe with his wealthy American parents who restlessly followed the changing social seasons. In 1874 he entered the Paris studio of the stylish French portraitist, Carolus-Duran. The young Sargent combined the flamboyant style of his teacher with his study of old masters such as Rembrandt and Velázquez but was also influenced by Monet and Impressionism. His provocative and unconventional Portrait of Madame X caused a scandal at the Paris Salon exhibition in 1884; and, when Sargent settled in London in 1886, he initially found it difficult to find clients as his bravura, continental style of painting attracted suspicion. However, his dashing technical mastery and confident manner were ideally suited for aristocratic patronage and he soon won over his critics with his elegant, flattering portraits. When his portrait of Lady Agnew was shown at the Royal Academy in 1893, one contemporary observed: ‘London is at his feet … he has had a cracking success.’

The sitter was born Gertrude Vernon and married Andrew Noel Agnew in 1889. Her husband, fifteen years her senior, was a barrister and later an MP and deputy-Lieutenant in Wigtownshire; he succeeded his father as 9th Baronet of Lochnaw in 1892, shortly before Sargent embarked on this portrait. The exact circumstances behind the commission are not known, but the Agnews may have met the artist through mutual American friends. According to notes in her husband’s diary, work on the portrait progressed swiftly, and Sargent later recalled that it was painted in just six sittings.

Lady Agnew is shown seated in a Louis XVI chair against the backdrop of a Chinese silk hanging, both of which were standard props in Sargent’s studio. She is reported to have been of frail health; she recovered slowly from a severe bout of influenza in 1890 and was apparently still convalescing and suffering from exhaustion when she sat to Sargent, which may account for her slightly ghostly pallor in the painting. Lady Agnew fixes the spectator with an intelligent, faintly amused gaze but it is her elegant white silk dress and lilac sash that threaten to steal all our attention. There are brilliant passages of painting in the highlights, reflections and coloured shadows that show Sargent at his best as a painter of surfaces and textures, the ideal artist for a gilded, polished yet ultimately superficial society.

Sargent’s image of Lady Agnew helped her to become a leading light in fashionable circles, holding lavish salons in her London home. Ironically, the high costs of this hospitality meant that she was eventually forced to sell some family pictures including this portrait which was purchased by the Scottish National Gallery in 1925.

A Hair-Raising Experience

Five Hargreeves x Fem!reader

Warnings: none

Five Hargreeves was many things: a former assassin, a time-traveler, a seasoned survivor of apocalypses. But a hairdresser? That was a stretch.

Yet here he was, scissors in hand, staring at his wife Y/n with a look that blended confidence with mild panic. Y/n, sitting on a chair in their bathroom, looked up at him with a mixture of trust and fear.

“All the salons are closed,” she said, twisting a lock of her hair nervously. “I just need a trim, Five. How hard can it be?”

Five swallowed, steeling himself. “Piece of cake. I’ve tackled tougher jobs than this.”

He combed through her hair, trying to channel every memory he had of watching people get haircuts. Y/n closed her eyes, and Five took a deep breath, bringing the scissors to the first section of hair.

Snip.

“See? Not bad,” he said, more to convince himself than Y/n.

Y/n, eyes still closed, smiled. “I trust you. Just… not too short, okay?”

Five nodded, focusing intently. The problem was, with each snip, he noticed something that needed evening out. A little here, a little there, and soon he was in over his head.

“What do you think?” Five asked, stepping back to admire his handiwork.

Y/n opened her eyes and looked in the mirror. Her expression shifted from cautious optimism to sheer horror. “Five! What did you do?”

Five winced. “I... may have overestimated my abilities.”

Y/n’s once even, shoulder-length hair was now a choppy, lopsided mess. One side was significantly shorter than the other, and there were random, uneven chunks missing.

“Oh my god, I look like a demented hedgehog,” she said, her voice a mixture of laughter and panic.

Five put the scissors down, raising his hands in surrender. “Okay, okay, I see the problem. I can fix it.”

Y/n eyed him skeptically. “You’re not touching my hair again.”

A frantic call to a 24-hour hair salon later, they were driving through the city, Y/n wearing a baseball cap to hide the disaster. Five sat next to her, muttering apologies and trying to stifle his nervous laughter.

At the salon, the hairdresser took one look at Y/n and raised an eyebrow. “Tough week?”

Y/n pointed at Five. “My husband decided to play stylist.”

The hairdresser gave Five a knowing smile. “Ah, the classic ‘husband haircut.’ Seen a few of those.”

As Y/n sat in the chair, Five hovered nearby, wincing at the critical assessment of his work. The hairdresser, a woman with bright purple hair and an array of tattoos, shook her head in amusement.

“Well, let’s see what we can do here,” she said, running her fingers through Y/n’s hair. “Your husband’s given you a very… unique look.”

Y/n shot Five a mock glare. “Unique is one way to put it.”

The hairdresser snipped away, skillfully transforming the chaos into a stylish, albeit shorter, haircut. Y/n watched in the mirror, relief flooding her features as the damage was undone.

“See? It’s fixable,” the hairdresser said with a grin, stepping back to show the finished product.

Y/n smiled, feeling the now even, sleek bob. “Thank you. You’re a lifesaver.”

Five sighed in relief. “Thank you for saving me from sleeping on the couch.”

On the drive home, Y/n couldn’t help but laugh at the whole ordeal. “You know, you were so confident.”

Five chuckled, shaking his head. “I don’t know what I was thinking. I’m sorry, Y/n. I really thought I could handle it.”

Y/n reached over, squeezing his hand. “You did your best. It’s kind of sweet, actually. Just… no more haircuts, okay?”

Five grinned, a mixture of sheepishness and affection in his eyes. “Deal. From now on, we leave haircuts to the professionals.”

Back home, with Y/n’s hair restored to its former glory, the incident became a new inside joke. They shared a bottle of wine, toasting to their survival of yet another Hargreeves misadventure.

And though Five may have failed as a hairdresser, he succeeded in proving, once again, that even in the most comical disasters, their love and laughter would always see them through.

shears | jtk

a/n: i was very inspired by cob's haircut and had to put it down in words. this is the result. also this is my first fic! warnings: none! just a lot of fluff. mention of scissors maybe? word count: 3.7k

You weren’t exactly thrilled that your first job out of cosmetology school was at Great Clips. You hoped to score a job at a fancier salon as you had shelled out a pretty penny for a more prestigious beauty school, but it was, at the moment, your job.

You didn't even like men’s styles. You thought the endless slew of clipper cuts and fades were repetitive, and you longed to get your hands on a head full of long, luscious hair. Sadly, most women already had a stylist that they trusted and had a bond with, so you were stuck with every Joe Schmoe in Nashville who didn’t care to run a dab of pomade through his comb-over every once in a while. 

Sometimes your customers were even rude. Many pompous businessmen who never looked up from their phones had sat in your chair. You had cut the hair of just as many older men who made crude comments about your figure or told you to smile while you tried to fix up their rapidly thinning crew cuts. Neither of these groups tipped very well. 

Truthfully, you loathed Great Clips, but the job kept you afloat while you built a resumé. 

You found that you had much to complain about while idle at the front counter, waiting for a walk-in when the doorbell pulled you from your daydream of a real salon. 

The bright chime of the bell echoes through the empty lobby, alerting you to someone's presence. Your eyes rip away from the spot on the wall you had been absentmindedly staring at while your mind wandered, falling to the man stepping through the doorway.  

He was gorgeous, you thought. He wore a wide-brimmed black hat and a stylish pair of sunglasses. Between the two accessories, you weren't sure what he actually looked like, but you just knew he was pretty. He wore a pair of off-white linen pants paired with a black linen button-down that looked to have been cropped to his hips. The shirt was mildly wrinkled but barely buttoned, which gave you an ample view of his smooth, tan chest adorned with a couple of silver pendants. 

You were enamored with his jewelry and open shirt before you realized the most important part of his appearance.

His hair.

He had wavy chestnut hair that spilled over his shoulders and fell past the collar of his shirt. You hadn't had hair that long walk through the doors in months, maybe ever. 

You were pulled out of your silent admiration by the sight of him walking towards the counter, towards you. You quickly shut your mouth, as your jaw was beginning to hang open at his beauty, and flash him the brightest smile you could muster. 

"Hi, welcome to Great Clips! Do you have an appointment?" you chirp, silently thanking whatever power was above that your voice didn't crack. You bit your lip in anticipation of his answer. You were next up to take a walk-in, but there were stylists in the back who had appointments with regular customers. You hoped he was not one of them. 

Even his voice was gorgeous, "No, just looking for a walk-in if you have time," he replies. He had a perfectly deep, but kind rasp to his voice. You felt your cheeks redden at the sound. 

"Sure! Follow me, please." This time, you aren't so lucky, as your voice breaks and your face flushes deeply. You quickly turn and motion for him to follow you to the chairs, attempting to hide your undoubtedly scarlet face. You could have sworn he chuckled under his breath at your shyness. 

Once you arrive at your station, you gesture for him as you take your spot behind the chair. You start to introduce yourself, "My name is y/n and I'll be cutting your hair today." You pause, expecting him to remove his hat and sunglasses. 

Instead, he rasps, "Hi y/n, I'm Jake." He smiles a gentle, toothy grin at you that you can't help but return. He still does not move to take off his hat or glasses yet, so you pause again, moving to lightly graze your fingers along the brim of his hat. 

"Can I take these off?" you ask. 

Jake's eyebrows raise in realization, "Oh! Of course." He reaches up to lift his hat off his head and place it in his lap, which you had been avoiding looking at. Then, he removes his sunglasses, folding them and sliding them into the top of where his shirt was buttoned, no higher than the bottom of his sternum. He looks back up expectantly, finally making real eye contact with you for the first time since he arrived. Tragically, your face flushes again, but he seems to blush as well.

"There we go," you whisper. Then, in a louder voice, you say, "It's nice to meet you, Jake. What are we doing with your hair today?" You move to run your fingers through your hair to feel the texture and judge the care that it might need. 

"Well," he starts, "My little brother says the ends of my hair look ratty and that I need a haircut. So, here I am." He grins. As you comb your fingers through his hair, you understand what his brother meant. His hair is soft until you get two inches from the ends, where it feels rougher and dryer than the rest. He continues, "Take off whatever needs to come off."

Your mind automatically ponders the dirty implications of his directive, but you furrow your brow to push that thought away, "When did you last have your hair cut?"

Jake squints in thought, then shrugs, "Eight months? Maybe a year? I'm really not sure. I've been so busy with work lately, I just haven't had time to think about a haircut."

You hum and nod at his answer, "What do you do that has you so busy?"

His face splits into a wide smile and his eyes shimmer at your question, "My brothers and I are in a band. We've been on tour and finishing up our next album," he replies, still wildly grinning. You smile back and your heart flutters at the passion for music he exudes.  

"Very cool, anything I might have heard?"

He shrugs nonchalantly, but with a tiny smirk that you almost miss, "Maybe," he starts, but he turns his focus back to his hair, "what's the damage?"

You pull the pieces of his hair that lay in front of his shoulders between your index and middle fingers and let the hair feed through until you reach where you think his locks need a chop. About two inches of hair needed to be cut off to keep it healthy. You reply, "About this much."

His eyes widen in shock at how much you indicate. He swallows, then asks, "Are you sure?" Jake's voice is almost timid, and your heart aches.

You nod solemnly, "Sadly, yeah. You have a good bit of split ends here and the only way to get rid of them is to cut them off." He nods back in understanding. 

"I get it. It just seems really short. My hair hasn't been that short in a while." 

You can tell Jake is a little nervous about the necessary length, so you lean over so that your head hovers right next to his, just above his shoulder. You look deeply into his eyes in the mirror and smile, "Yeah, but I promise you'll still look amazing," you reassure him. 

This time it's his turn to flush a deep crimson, which he couples with a shy smile, "Whatever you say."

"Perfect," you reply as you stand up. You pat his shoulder and he follows you to the shampoo bowl. You grab a towel and lay it over the divot where his head is to rest. He sits down and leans back, his hair falling into the bowl. Usually, your customers focus on a spot on the ceiling, but he looks directly into your eyes. His gaze is piercing but soft, his smooth chocolate eyes dulling the sharpness of his glare. The pesky flush of your cheeks rises again, so you quickly avert your gaze in search of the shampoo and conditioner. You could feel his eyes tracking your movements.

You turned the water on, waiting longer than usual to make sure that the water was warm enough. You wanted it to be perfect for him. You ran the shower head over his hair, soaking it in the warm water and turning the faucet off when it was saturated. After pumping shampoo into your hand and lathering it between your fingers, you started to work the solution through his hair. His eyes, once trained on you, flutter shut with a sigh at the feeling of your hands massaging his scalp. His cheeks were rosy and you swear you saw a content smile play across his lips. 

With his head stretched back, the smooth column of his neck was on display, leading your eyes down to his necklaces, which glinted in the overhead light. Your eyes moved to the smooth expanse of his chest, and you almost wished you could run your hands down the warm, tanned skin. At that moment, you realize you had been massaging the shampoo into his hair for too long, distracted by the man in your chair. You rush to grab the showerhead and turn it back on. You gently rinse the suds from his hair, holding your hand between the water and his forehead, protecting his face. Once his hair is clean, you grab a couple of pumps of conditioner and work it through his ends. As you run his wet hair through your fingers, you can tell that his hair really is gorgeous. It just needs some care. 

After rinsing the conditioner from his hair, you gently squeeze out the excess moisture. His eyes open at this, sensing that you're done washing his hair. His eyes find yours again and he gazes up at you. You try to cut the tension with a joke, "Good morning, sleeping beauty," you say softly while a wry smile creeps across your face. 

Jake flushes at your bold joke, "Oh hush," he replies. His words don't hold any malice. He continues, still making eye contact with you, "It felt nice." His face pulls into a shy smirk. 

You have him sit up, and when he does, you grab the corners of the towel by his face and fold his hair up into the towel on top of his head. You lead him back to your salon chair and he sits down. After you grab a cape from the hooks on the wall, you drape it over him. The movement of the cape wafts the sweet smell of the conditioner towards you, but you can smell something else, a scent that is uniquely Jake. 

After you snap the cape around his neck, you remove the towel from his head. You match his gaze in the mirror. He flashes a grin at you, again, and says, "Cut away, Doc." You nod in return. 

You turn to grab a comb and a pair of shears and get to work. As you work through his hair, you strike up a conversation. "What kind of music do you and your brothers play?"

"Rock 'n roll mostly. Maybe a little bit of blues. Whatever we want, really," he replies. You can't see his face from your position behind him, but you can hear the smile in his voice. 

"Ooh, rock 'n roll? Are you a rockstar, Jake?" you tease. You move to cut the hair on the side of his head. 

"Maybe a little bit," he chuckles. He tries to turn his head towards you to punctuate his reply. 

"Hey, keep your head straight." You stop his head with the back of your hand. He raises his eyebrows and flushes with embarrassment as he snaps back to face the mirror. 

"Sorry," he replies. He averts his gaze in the mirror. 

You smile reassuringly, "No worries," you say. He settles again, "What instrument do you play?"

This question truly makes him light up, "I play the guitar." He beams at you in the mirror and continues, "I started when I was pretty little, and it's taken me a lot of cool places." His grin shows off his shiny, white teeth. 

"Any Grammys yet?" you jest. You assumed he was a small artist waiting for his big break. 

He looks down at his lap and chuckles, "Just the one."

Your head snaps up to look at him in the mirror, "Really?"

He lets a small smile play across his face, "Yeah it was kind of a miracle, actually." You stand up as your mouth hangs open. Then, you begin to laugh, full and from your belly. He flushes again, "What's so funny?"

It takes a second for you to stop laughing and collect yourself to answer him, "You've won a Grammy and you're getting your hair cut at a Great Clips!" The thought, once said out loud, sends you back into a laughing fit. His own bright and genuine laughter joins yours. 

When the laughter dies down, he turns his head towards you and you let it slide this time. He looks up at you and says, with a smirk, "Yeah, but you're cutting my hair here, aren't you?" He wiggles his eyebrows at you. 

You blush furiously, but roll your eyes and turn his head back to the front with a hand on top of his head, "Oh, stop it," you mumble. His self-satisfied smirk remains as you finish cutting his hair.

Once pleased with your work, you set down the comb and shears. You reach for a bottle of light mousse and pump a small amount into your hand. Jake looks at the product in your hand, then up into your eyes, and asks, "What's that?"

You rub the mousse between your hands and start to rake it through his hair. "It's a mousse. It'll make your hair voluminous and give your waves some definition," you reply.

"Oh," he whispers and nods as you finish with the product. You grab the hairdryer and run it over his head for a few minutes, spinning the chair as you evenly dry his hair. 

Once you've finished, you run your fingers through his locks one last time, breaking the cast and giving his hair the tousled look he came in with. You suspect he likes that look. 

You finally spin Jake back around to see the final look in the mirror. The corners of his mouth and his eyebrows rise in unison. He turns his head from side to side, examining his new style. He brings his hands up to his scalp to tousle his hair from the roots. The wide, sparkling grin you were newly familiar with grows even stronger across his sharp features. 

"It looks amazing. You were right about the length," he says. The gratitude is evident in his voice, and you match his grin. 

You watch him admire his haircut in the mirror for just a little longer before he meets your gaze and sighs with contention. After standing there for just one more moment, you pat the back of the chair and say, "Alright, let's go get you checked out, Jake." He stands and follows you as you lead him back to the lobby. You notice that he puts his sunglasses back on his head, but continues to hold his hat in his hands. 

You resume your spot behind the counter and give him the spiel on the cost and other services provided at Great Clips. When it's time to pay, he slides a shiny card toward you. Upon picking it up, you find the card is heavy for such a small item. Your eyes widen at the weight of it in your hand and he chuckles. You look up at the sound, and he shrugs, "Rockstar money, I guess."

You laugh at his jokes one last time before you swipe the card and hand him the receipt with a pen to sign. He scribbles something on the receipt and hands it back to you. Your fingers brush as you take the paper from his hands and a shiver runs down your spine. You smile as he pats the counter, rings clacking against the hard surface. He puts his hands in his pockets and goes to leave, but before he opens the door, he turns around to say, "Thank you, y/n, it really does look great." A kind grin accompanies his expression of gratitude. 

You match his grin with a sugary sweet smile, "No problem, rockstar. Good luck with the new album." He waves and continues walking backward toward the door. It comes up quicker than he was expecting, and he turns around with surprise and embarrassment when he runs into the door. He waves goodbye before he's out the door and never to be seen again. You watch his profile walk down the street through the window, illuminated by the warm afternoon sun. 

You looked down at the receipt, hoping to find a sweet message or even a phone number, but you were met with a tip that far outweighed your service. Your heart flipped at the bittersweet gesture until another customer strolled through the door. 

❁❁❁

After closing out your last customer for the day and sending him out into the night, you began to sweep up. All the other stylists had gone home, so it was just you closing up the shop. Technically, you didn't close for another five minutes, but nobody was coming in, so you figured you would get a head start on cleaning up. 

You had just begun sweeping up the loose clippings left over from the day when the doorbell chimed again. Your heart sank at the sound. You hoped to get home early, but it seems your dreams were shattered by the high-pitched chime. You turned to see who had ruined your plans, but you froze mid-spin. The sight of Jake leaning on the counter shocked you. His elbows rested on the counter with his arms crossed while his fingers absentmindedly tapped at his bicep and his eyes darted around the lobby nervously. His sunglasses were perched on top of his head. 

"Back again, rockstar? Wanna go shorter?" you tease as you saunter back to the counter. You stand across from him, arms spread and hands grabbing the edge of the counter. You pop your hip out to the side and wait for his response with a smirk on your face.

He laughs at your question, "No, this is perfect actually." He moves to run his fingers through his hair.

"Well, what can I do for you? We close in," you check your watch, "two minutes." 

"I have a question for you, actually."

"Sure! Is it about the mousse? I can sell you a bottle, or I can let you take a picture of the label. If you don't like it, I can recommend you something else, too!" You start to ramble a little bit, flustered at the proximity. 

"No," he pauses, "well, actually I'd love to take a picture of the label, but that's not why I'm back."

You quirk an eyebrow at him. You don't want to get your hopes up, but you like the direction this conversation is going. You reply, "What is it?"

He takes in a shaky breath, "Well, uh, I really enjoyed my haircut."

You smile at his accidental display of nerves, "I'm glad you did. Is that all you wanted to tell me?"

"No. I, um, well, I really enjoyed your company, and, uh," he pauses to search your eyes, biting his lip, "I wanted to know, well I wanted to ask if, maybe, um." He stutters and trails off.

You try to help him out, "Wanted to know what?"

He stands up and sucks in a deep breath, "Are you free on Friday night?"

His question, though it was the one you had hoped to hear, hits you like a freight train. Your eyes widen and a giddy smile slowly creeps across your face. 

Jake is seemingly impatient, pushing for an answer, "Well?"

You let out the breath you didn't know you were holding as you reply, "Yes, I am."

He doesn't celebrate yet, but asks, "Can I take you out to dinner, then?"

Your smile stretches even further across your face, "Yeah, I would love that."

The biggest smile you had seen from him that day erupts onto his face. You stand there grinning at each other for a second until he breaks out of the trance, "Great, it's a date," he exhales, "could I maybe get your number before I go?"

You nod, "Of course." He hands you his phone, already open to a new contact. You type in your number and your name, making sure to add a ":)" at the end. While you type, you can see him bounce on his toes with anticipation, and it makes you smile. You hand the phone back to him and he smiles down at the contact. You watch him for a moment before you lean across the counter and give him a quick kiss on the cheek, against your better judgment, "See you Friday, Jake."

He quickly looks up, having flushed scarlet yet again. He smiles and whispers, "Yeah, see you Friday." He turns to leave, clutching his phone to his chest and still gazing at you. He runs into the door again, distracted by you, but finally makes it outside. You watch as he exits and holds his phone up to his ear, smiling as he speaks to whoever is on the other line. 

❁❁❁

Your phone buzzes in your pocket as you shut the door to your apartment. You drop your keys into the bowl by your door and scramble to fish your phone from your jacket. Only one notification is displayed on your lock screen. 

unknown number: hey gorgeous :)

You immediately save his number and giggle to yourself. You lean back against your door as you type out a response. 

you: hey rockstar :)

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORESS:

Happy 62nd birthday, green man. You are surely missed.

WORDS: 1171

“So tell me Miss Katie- do you have a handsome boy friend in your life?”

I wrinkled my nose at the hair stylist’s rude question, but Katie’s snark and blunt humor made me smile.

“I’m ten years old.” Her hair covered her face, however I knew that she was throwing the otherwise nosey man a withering look. “That is way too young to be thinking about men. Besides, you’re too old for me.”

I burst out into loud laughter at her dry sense of humor.

The hair stylish chuckled awkwardly and I pulled up the business’ Yelp page.

1.7 stars out of 5 stars.

I tapped on the first review, which gave the shop a 1 star review.

The shop is ran and operated by one person, and he was rude and intrusive- do I have a boyfriend (I’m a lesbian) is the s3x good (I’m not interested in men in that way) am I on my monthly moon cycle (why do you want to know) is the flow heavy (MIND YOUR OWN DAMNED BUISINESS) every single time I would call him out on his creepy behavior, he would always claim that being a newcomer to America was weird, that American got weirdly offended at every little thing SMH this man is a joke to society

I frowned, turning my phone on and casually pointing it towards where Katie was having her hair cut.

“I am ten years old, and what’s it to you if I had my period yet?” Katie snapped. “You are very rude!”

“These kind of questions are not rude in my home country. Americans are so easy to offend!”

“Well then, why don’t you just return back there then?” Katie demanded to know in a hot tone of voice.

I immediately started to look for the nearest haircut establishment and found one four doors down.

I looked up just as the hair stylist was trying to show Katie a picture of someone.

“He would make a wonderful husband for you- he loves cats!”

“Sir, that’s enough.” I stood straight up and marched over to my daughter. “Katie, remove your cape at one. We’re taking our business elsewhere.”

I quickly gathered her up before we left, my cell phone still recording. I ushered her over towards the hair salon that I found, the both of us entering the fun, hip establishment.

“Hi there! Do you have an appointment?”

“We came from right down the street, and-” I started to explain.

“Say no more. I can take you back now. What’s your name, sweetheart?”

Katie jumped up into a chair, having a cape tossed around her.

“I’m having my hair turned into a wig for my sister!” she explained. “She has Alopecia!”

“Have you heard of the New York Alopecia Society?”

“We have, yes,” I said, settling myself into a seat nearby. “It’s where we will send her hair once it’s cut.”

“Well, you’ll need to have at least eight ounces of hair measuring ten inches or more from tip to end. I should know as how I myself have Alopecia.”

“You do?” Katie asked, delight in her eyes as the woman removed her wig for Katie to examine.

“I do, yes.” The hair stylist took her into the back to wash her hair, and I posted the video that I had recorded of the inappropriate little man at Little Haircut Inc. up onto my Instagram.

@Mary_Claire_Ratajczyk_Official, well Katie decided that she wanted a haircut, and this was the man who did her hair… at @littlehaircutinc

#SMH #umprofessional #rudelittleman #blamingamericanculture #incel #wtf #NOTMYDAUGHTERBITCH

@kellykent, EW GROSS

@petesteele4ever, toxic masculinity at its finest. I am so sorry that you went through this.

@Pete­r_Steele===========8) LOL Peter would lose his SHIT when you tell him about this clusterfuck of a human being!

@john316, hey there! We would love to partner with you and have you help us spread the word about our LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST THE LORD! Send us a DM for more info!

@chocolaterobotchicken, ATTA GIRL KATIE! MAKE THAT FUCKING JACKASS FEEL THE BURN OF YOUR WORDS

@lzziegreen, if that fucking creep feels the need to be a fucking creep, then he SHOULD go back to his home country!

I smirked at the result of the shop owner of Little Haircuts Inc. being inappropriate towards my daughter, the FaceBook and Instagram quickly being swamped by Type O Negative fans and PeteClaire shippers who were infuriated at the salon owner’s inappropriate behavior with Katie.

“Karma is a bitch, you fucking pathetic little man,” I muttered before turning back to Katie and the hairdresser, who had introduced herself as Sally. Sally was leading Katie off to have her hair washed again, my daughter handing her back her wig.

“Well, Asian people naturally have thinner hair then what’s normally required to have a wig made. In that case, what will you do?”

“I think I’ll ask some friends of mine at school if they can give me their hair!” Katie was grinning as Sally did a quick wash, her fingers gently massaging moisturizing conditioner into her scalp.

“Ah, okay!” Sally was smiling as she dried the Asian American girl’s jet black hair right before helping her up and back into the chair. “Now, what haircut do you want me to do?”

“Mommy?” Katie asked me, summoning me to quickly find the picture of the haircut that Katie had fallen in love with. Layered waves of dark brown were cut to brush the shoulders of the smiling model.

“Ah, okay then!” Sally grinned as she set Katie’s hair into a ponytail and did a quick check in before she performed the first snip.

HEART'S FATE - CHAPTER 42

*Warning: Adult Content*    

"Let's see... Try these." 

Noah Hunter pulls a t-shirt from a neat pile and a button-down from the rack in his closet, which is organized by color and holds them out to his brother. 

Martin Hunter accepts the garments reluctantly and set them aside while he removes the thin shirt he'd slept in. 

As he pulls it over his head, he hear an intake of breath and looks up to find Noah staring at his torso.

Martin looks down at himself and grimaces.

He'd been mauled by the wolves of Elena's brother's pack when they'd tried to take their parent's territory and Martin still has scars. 

Unlike Noah, Martin is blessed with quick healing, though not as much as their sister, Freya and Alpha Dane. 

Martin’s wounds heal faster than usual but not perfectly. 

Ambrose Thorne saved his life but even his gift hadn't erased all traces of the injuries. 

He'd gotten used to the marks and his new mate, Skylar West hadn't mentioned them, so Martin had thought perhaps they weren't very noticeable.

Noah's look of horror tells him he was wrong.

He turns aside, though his back isn't any better than his front and pulls on the t-shirt and buttons-down, leaving the over shirt open.

Recovering himself, Noah clears his throat and turns back to his closet. 

"And um... trousers. How about these?"

He turns and hands his brother a pair of stylish jeans. 

Martin takes them wordlessly and pulls them on. 

They're a little short in the leg but fit well enough.

"Thanks. I appreciate it."

Noah rests a hand on Martin’s shoulder. 

"Martin... it's not a favor. You're my brother."

Grateful that Skylar chose to wait in the hall, Martin takes a breath and forces himself to speak. 

"Actually... I have a favor to ask you."

"Anything."

Martin laughs. 

"Don't agree yet. It's a doozy, as Mom would say."

Noah shakes his head and repeats himself firmly. 

"Anything."

Martin clears his throat. 

"I'd like... I'd like to name you and Ambrose as the children's legal guardians. In my will, I mean. Just in case."

Noah blinks in surprise and then, to Martin’s mild alarm, his eyes fill with tears and he pulls his brother into a hug.

Martin clears his throat again. 

"There's no need for that," he says. "Because you're gonna be fine, Martin. But... we'd be honored, anyway. Just in case."

Martin nods against his brother’s shoulder, his throat too tight to speak. 

Noah releases him and gives him a moment to collect himself before they rejoin Skylar in the hall. 

Then, feeling like he’s entering a monster's lair, Martin descends the stairs.

The door to the sitting room is shut and Martin pauses in front of it. 

His heart flutters like a panicked bird in his chest and Skylar rests his hand on his back. 

Martin leans into him and takes a deep breath.

"Okay?" Skylar asks.

Martin gives a slight nod, straightens his spine and enters the room.

Dane sits in the center of a large sofa, his mere presence occupying the entire space, while Ambrose lounges by the mantlepiece, insouciant as bored nobility.

Elena sits apart in a chair, ignoring the two men as she checks her makeup in a small mirror.

She looks up when they enter. 

Martin feels her eyes rake over him like a physical touch and fails to suppress a shudder. 

She looks unimpressed. 

“Martin.” 

“Elena.” 

Martin gives his ex-wife a stiff nod and takes a seat on the settee beside Skylar, acutely conscious of the eyes that follow him.

"How are the children?"

Martin frown. 

"They're none of your concern."

She lifts a thin shoulder and waves a manicured hand, a hand that shakes a little and tucks the mirror back in her purse. 

"Fine. Pleasantries aside, how are you? And no, I'm not asking because I care."

There's a brittle edge to her tone and Martin finally allows himself to take in her appearance more thoroughly.

Her hair, makeup and clothes are flawless, as usual. 

Her lustrous red tresses look straight from the salon, her outfit probably costs more than every piece of clothing Martin owns combined and her makeup looks ready for a magazine cover shoot. 

Beneath this veneer, however, is a different story.

Like him, Elena appears to have lost weight and her skin, which he remembers as a healthy, light bronze, looks sallow despite her makeup and oddly thin, as if it's too tightly stretched across the bones of her face. 

She fidgets and jiggles her leg, telling habits Martin can't recall his stone cold mate ever exhibiting before. 

She looks more like an addict in need of a hit or a smoker in the throes of withdrawal, than the steel-willed woman he remembers.

"I think you know how I am," Martin says, finally answering her question and meeting her honey-gold eyes, which he had once found so startlingly beautiful and which now spark nightmare memories. 

"Why are you here?"

"Because I want something, of course," she says simply and arches a brow at Ambrose. 

He draws a slow breath through his long, thin nose and narrows his eyes at her.

"Loathe as I am to admit it, she's telling the truth," he says.

"Of course I'm telling the truth," she snaps, huffing and crossing her arms. 

"I'm no fool. I know what I'm up against. So, your turn, how have you been this past year? Thriving and living your best life without me? I think not. In fact, let me guess, you can't sleep, you barely eat and you haven't Shifted in a year."

Martin stares at her. 

If he lies, Ambrose will know it, if he tells the truth, everyone will know it.

"Close enough," he whispers.

Elena sneers. 

"Try 'spot on.' Do you know how I know? Because I'm the same," she laughs bitterly and shoots a venomous glance at Dane. "If only you'd stuck to tradition, for once and killed me, as you had every right to do, none of this would have happened."

"Not too late to fix past mistakes," he says, returning her glare. 

“No, it isn't," she agrees with a sneer, though she breaks eye contact first. "But we both know you won't. You're far too noble for that. Instead, you'll let your brother suffer a slow, painful death, wasting away, day by day, until his heart finally gives out and fails."

Dane's gaze shifts to Ambrose. 

"Is that true?" he asks. 

Ambrose runs a hand through his long auburn curls and casts me an apologetic look. 

"She believes it to be."

"I'm asking you," Dane growls. "You're the healer here. Is Martin sick?" 

Ambrose sighs. 

"I don't know. All I can say is I've noticed a decline. Although..." his gaze shifts to Skylar. "In the past few months, I thought I saw improvement." 

"There is improvement," Martin insists. "If I was tired and stressed, it was only because I had too much on my plate and..." 

Martin glances at Dane and winces.

"And because I didn't ask for help. Sky helped me see I didn't have to do everything alone. He helped me see I wasn't..." 

"Worthless? Irredeemable? Pathetic?" Elena suggests, a cruel quirk to her lips, and shakes her head. "You were always a slut for punishment."

Martin’s vision darkens at the edges and he’s aware of several people rising to their feet. 

Martin holds out his hand to stay the imminent slaughter and forces himself to speak. 

"I was naïve, stupid and desperate for love," he rasps. "You were a spider on the hunt for prey and I fell into your web. But that's all over now. You have no right coming here and saying we're still bound somehow. I have a new mate. You and I are done." 

"Believe me," she sneers, "I wish that were so. I've tried to move on as well. I thought finding a new mate would solve the problem, so I reconnected with an old flame. We bonded, but something prevented the true mate-bond from taking hold. I thought it might be because he wants children and I have no desire to be a mother again. So I played that old card and told him Nico and Rio were his. We'd fucked enough for it to be true. Then you had to go and ruin things with that test. I thought you'd be glad to have fewer mouths to feed." 

She huffs and crosses her arms and I stare at her for a handful of seconds as my brain struggles to comprehend the incomprehensible. 

She waves her hand dismissively. 

"Never mind. I'd been looking for an opportunity to take them, since you wouldn't give them up willingly, when by pure chance I ran into Miguel, almost literally. I'd have thought you'd at least teach the children how to cross a street. At any rate, once I got him talking, he confirmed a few things for me and now I believe I understand. It's your Wolf that won't let go, that still clings to the rotting strands connecting us like the tendons of a severed limb." 

"Impossible." 

Martin shakes his head. 

"The last thing I ever wanted was to see you again." 

"Well, what is it then?" Elena demands. "Tell me, Martin. Why can't you sleep? Why do you torment yourself? Why do you deny yourself even the most basic pleasures? Why can't you Shift and why won't you let anyone help you? Why did you suffer alone for so long when..."

"Because I should have DIED." 

In the ringing silence, Martin struggles to catch his breath, aware of every eye on him. 

Gasping, he glares at Elena and forces himself to continue in a more level tone.

"Because I deserved to die for what I did. That's why."

She smiles sharply. 

"And there it is."

Dane looks stricken. 

"Martin... Is that true? Is that really what you believe?" 

When he can't bring himself to answer, Dane glances at Ambrose, who stands with his fingers pressed to his lips. 

Ambrose nods once, indicating Martin haven't lied. 

Dane leans towards his brother but Martin shakes his head and keeps his eyes on his former mate. 

"It doesn't matter what I believe. I didn't die. I was spared. And so were you." 

Elena nods. 

"And that is the problem. 'Till death do us part' really is the way with Wolves. Living Mates separate so infrequently, we may be the only pair alive to have done so. We haven't done so cleanly, anyway and whatever thin strands still bind us, they are poison. You will never forgive me, I will never respect you. We need to sever these putrescent ties for both our sakes or we shall both perish." 

She draws a deep breath and sits back in her chair. 

"Martin Hunter, I have never and will never, love you. I don't even love our children. In fact, I think I am incapable of love and I have stopped blaming myself for that. However, I have an objective interest in my offspring and for their sake, if for nothing else, I would prefer they not be orphaned. I believe we have that in common, at least." 

Rubbing his hands over his face, Martin releases his breath in a long sigh. 

"What do you propose?" 

"I believe we need to perform a separation ritual," she says. "Sever the bond properly. Give our Wolves the closure that yours, at least, seems to need." 

"What ritual?" Dane asks.

Elena shrugs. 

"Nothing complicated. A simple ritual of Parting should do."

"What's that?" Skylar asks.

As he speaks, Martin becomes aware that he's holding his hand and that he has his fingers locked in what must be a painful grip. 

Loosening his hold on him, Martin takes another breath.

"It's something we do when a Wolf leaves the Pack. Usually to join an unrelated Pack, one outside the family. We did it for Travis when he left to live with Chiaki. It helps the Wolf bond with a new Pack and helps prevent the worst of homesickness. It's done when a Wolf dies, too. It's like a formal goodbye."

"Ah, I see. Can we do it now?"

"It's best done at the new moon," Martin says.

"Which was two days ago."

"The full moon will do just as well," Elena says, studying her nails.

Martin glances at Skylar. 

"I think we might have... a prior engagement."

"This is him then?" she asks, jutting her chin at Sky. "Your new 'mate'?"

For the first time in this strange conversation, Martin is able to give a firm, definitive answer. 

"Yes. He is." 

Elena's lip draws back in a sneer. 

"Hmm. You always were a weak-willed little bitch. I should have known what you really wanted was a cock up your ass." 

Before Martin can reply, he startles as the sleeves of Ambrose's shirt vanish in a burst of smokeless fire, leaving nothing but a fine gray ash on his bare arms. 

"Ah, beg pardon," he says, dusting himself off. "I was just wondering if it was possible to selectively incinerate a person's tongue. Got a bit excited there." 

At Martin’s side, Skylar tilts his head at Elena, studying her with a perplexed expression. 

"I don't know what you mean," he says. "Martin is the most resilient person I've ever met. And I don't know what cocks have to do with anything but in our last coupling, it was I who had...”

Martin nudges him sharply in the ribs. 

As charming as Skylar’s unfiltered style can be, the last thing Martin needs is his family imagining that while...

Dane's slightly unfocused look tells Martin it's too late and he clears his throat loudly to bring the attention back to himself and the present.

"All that aside. You followed us to the coast once already to threaten poor Dr. Howard. If you truly think this ritual is the answer to our problems, then you can follow us there again because that's where we'll be at the full moon."

Martin glances around the room, conscious of Skylar's hand in his as he meets Dane and Noah's eyes in turn. 

Just about every painful secret he has, has been laid bare, might as well drop another bomb while he’s at it.

"Besides. A parting ritual might not be such a bad idea," Martin Hunter says. "Depending on how things go in the meantime, you might not be the only one saying goodbye."

Styling Chair: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Chair for Your Salon

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about styling chairs, from their features and benefits to tips for selecting the best one for your salon.

Why a Styling Chair is the Heart of Your Salon

A styling chair is more than just a seat – it’s the centerpiece of your salon. It’s where your clients spend most of their time, whether they’re getting a haircut, color treatment, or styling session. A high-quality styling chair offers:

Comfort: Ensures your clients feel relaxed and at ease during their visit.

Functionality: Provides adjustable height, reclining features, and smooth rotation for easy access.

Aesthetic Appeal: Enhances the overall look and feel of your salon, creating a professional and inviting atmosphere.

Durability: Built to withstand daily use and maintain its appearance over time.

Key Features to Look for in a Styling Chair

When shopping for a styling chair, it’s important to consider the features that will best meet your salon’s needs. Here are some key factors to keep in mind:

1. Adjustable Height

A good styling chair should offer easy height adjustment to accommodate different stylists and clients. Hydraulic or pneumatic mechanisms are commonly used for smooth and effortless adjustments.

2. Reclining Functionality

For services like hair washing or coloring, a reclining feature is essential. Look for chairs with a comfortable recline range and sturdy support.

3. 360-Degree Rotation

A rotating base allows stylists to move around the chair easily, ensuring a seamless and efficient workflow.

4. Comfortable Padding

High-density foam padding and ergonomic designs ensure your clients remain comfortable, even during long sessions.

5. Durable Materials

Choose chairs made from high-quality materials like leather, vinyl, or fabric that are easy to clean and resistant to wear and tear.

6. Stylish Design

Your styling chair should complement your salon’s decor. From sleek modern designs to classic vintage styles, there’s a chair to match every aesthetic.

Types of Styling Chairs for Different Salon Needs

Not all styling chairs are created equal. Depending on your salon’s services and clientele, you may need different types of chairs. Here’s a breakdown of the most common options:

1. Hydraulic Styling Chairs

These chairs are highly popular due to their smooth height adjustment and durability. They are ideal for busy salons that require reliable and long-lasting furniture.

2. Reclining Shampoo Chairs

Specifically designed for hair washing, these chairs feature a reclining back and a built-in sink or neck rest for added comfort.

3. Barber Chairs

Barber chairs often come with additional features like footrests, headrests, and adjustable armrests, making them perfect for grooming services.

4. Portable Styling Chairs

Lightweight and easy to move, portable styling chairs are great for mobile stylists or temporary setups.

5. Kids’ Styling Chairs

Smaller and more colorful, these chairs are designed to make children feel comfortable and at ease during their haircuts.

How to Choose the Best Styling Chair for Your Salon

With so many options available, selecting the right styling chair can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to help you make the best choice:

1. Assess Your Salon’s Needs

Consider the types of services you offer and the volume of clients you handle. For example, if you specialize in hair coloring, a reclining chair with a comfortable headrest is a must.

2. Set a Budget

Styling chairs come in a wide range of prices. Determine your budget and look for chairs that offer the best value for money without compromising on quality.

3. Test Before You Buy

If possible, visit a showroom or supplier to test the chairs in person. Check for comfort, adjustability, and ease of use.

4. Read Reviews

Look for reviews and testimonials from other salon owners to get an idea of the chair’s performance and durability.

5. Consider Maintenance

Choose chairs that are easy to clean and maintain, especially if you offer services like coloring that can lead to spills and stains.

Trends in Styling Chairs for 2023

The beauty industry is constantly evolving, and styling chairs are no exception. Here are some of the latest trends to watch out for in 2023:

Eco-Friendly Materials: Sustainable and recyclable materials are becoming increasingly popular, reflecting the growing demand for environmentally conscious products.

Smart Features: Some chairs now come with built-in USB ports, wireless charging pads, or even massage functions to enhance the client experience.

Bold Colors and Patterns: Vibrant colors and unique patterns are being used to make styling chairs stand out and add a touch of personality to salons.

Modular Designs: Chairs with interchangeable parts or customizable features are gaining traction, allowing salons to adapt their furniture to changing needs.

The Benefits of Investing in a High-Quality Styling Chair

While it may be tempting to opt for cheaper options, investing in a high-quality styling chair offers numerous benefits:

Enhanced Client Satisfaction: Comfortable and stylish chairs leave a lasting impression on your clients, encouraging repeat visits and positive reviews.

Improved Stylist Efficiency: Functional chairs with smooth adjustments and rotation make it easier for stylists to work efficiently.
