It’s Tuesday morning so business is slow. Danny sweeps up the meagre white threads of hair left by his last customer. The glass door darkens: it’s a walk-in customer - large, tattooed, wearing jeans and a sleeveless vest. Danny smiles and leads him to the basin. Conversation is sparse. He notices the man has half of his left ear missing but doesn’t like to mention it.

There could've been a number two cut if Danny had demanded payment for the number one cut. Comments are closed.
