Tina ran her fingers thru her hair, it was soft and long but it was out of style “Hey it wasn’t that bad!”

“Tina, believe me you badly needed a haircut” Adrienne replied while approaching the salon entrance

Wax was a high-class glam salon and had been successful in attracting a diverse clientele including yummy mummies, metropolitans, metrosexuals, and students. Strategic viewing spaces were incorporated around the salon for displaying images from recent photographic collections.

This haven of luxury and contemporary hairdressing had a tasteful but distinctive décor. Off white walls highlighted the ambient lighting effects, and combined with imagery for an art gallery feel. Retro patterned wallpaper contrasted perfectly with cream, painted walls while the porcelain floor combined polished beauty with hardwearing properties.

Both women were so impressed in what they saw as they entered the establishment, they went straight to the reception area and were greeted by a friendly smile

“Hi my name’s Lucille, how may I help you?”

Adrienne had called an hour earlier to reconfirm her appointment with Shane because the woman had many clients so she had to make sure that Tina’s name was still on the list.

“Hello I’m Adrienne Spencer and we have an appointment with Shane”

“Oh yes please have a seat and I’ll notify her”

“Thanks”

A moment after, Adrienne and Tina saw a good-looking somewhat androgynous woman walking towards them. Judging from how she looked, Adrienne instinctively knew that the person that was about to approach them was the legendary Shane McCutcheon.

“Hi you must be Adrienne Spencer?”

“Yes I am”

Shane laid her hand out “Cherie told me a lot of great things about you, I’m Shane”

 Adrienne took her hand and was kind of surprised of how firm the grip was. She read somewhere before that handshake could tell a bit about personality and by the way Shane shook her hand while maintaining eye contact she thought Shane was a person that she might like.

 “Nice to meet you Shane, I brought my friend here, Tina Kennard”

Shane turned to the cute blonde beside Adrienne and smiled, “So what can I do for you?”

Tina was kind of staring at Shane, she was a grown woman but she had never seen someone like her before. She studied her eyes and smile and she didn’t know why but she already felt comfortable with her.
