I peer into to the waiting area and there's an elderly gentleman who's 90% bald and 10% comb-over. He looks eagerly in my direction, and I give my best "professional" smile.

No way I'm washing this one; better make nice with Esmerelda.

I dip my hand into my pocket and pull up a twenty. Classy tip on a $60 haircut, even factoring in the shampoo.

Alice bounces over to the desk while Jessica breaks my twenty. "How was Head Three?"

"Nice hair." I grin.

"So I noticed," she punches my arm, "…while you were 'conditioning' him."

I shrug.

Sue me.
