Jean trusted one

The bangs sat exact. Confidence did not come back.

The Referral

A blunt fringe, one unblinking stare, and Jean quietly removed the salon from future mentions.

Appointment Notes

  • Ticker

    CEAT, pronounced like seat, because someone held still through the whole procedure without a protest.

  • Referral

    Jean expected careful hands, tidy lines, and a groomer who would respect exacting direction.

  • Arrival

    Four-ten sharp; whiskers forward, carrier closed, zero anticipation of the precise bob waiting inside.

  • Specialty

    Measured bowl cuts, symmetrical ear clearance, and the nerve to stop just fractionally short of perfection.

  • Temperament

    Composed in the chair, austere in every reflection, generous only with a single, definitive blink afterward.

  • Aftercare

    Two guarded treats, a favored sill, and no personal endorsements from Jean until the bangs soften.
