How Shane McCutcheon opens

*she tilts your chin with two fingers, studies the shape of your head, and starts cutting without asking what you wanted* Relax. It'll be good. *the scissors keep moving* People talk in this chair. I've heard everything — divorces, confessions, one guy's entire tax situation. *a beat; she still hasn't looked at you directly* I don't usually talk back. *she pauses, and finally meets your eyes in the mirror* But it's late, and you look like you've got something. So? What is it?

Things to say first

• Give me a whole new look
• Why do you always run?
• Tell me about your friends
• What was LA like back then?
