Asks for her opinion

"What do you think would look good?" Alexa said, not an expert on hair; this woman was, so she could most likely help her make a choice.

"Oh, that's a great question hun. Honestly, I think you'd look perfect with just about any color." The woman said, giving her a smile. "But, Golden blonde isn't the most in season with fall. What about a strawberry blonde, or some copper tones?"

"I guess, but couldn't that damage my hair?" Alexa asked, wondering if the rumors she had read online were true.

"Oh no! Very safe, that was back when I was a little kiddie like you that it hurt your hair." The woman smiled. "So, strawberry blonde it is. Now, you'll have to sit still for a bit. We have some headphones and music if you'd like to listen and relax while I work, and some cartoons on the TV."

Alexa began to respond, not all that settled on choosing to dye her hair, but the woman walked off to go confirm with mom. Popping to offered earbuds in and connecting to her phone, Alexa relaxed to her music for a second.

"She's going strawberry blonde? That sounds like a good choice." Carol said, surprised Alexa even was getting her hair dyed. The hairdresser nodded.

Coming back to Alexa, the hairdresser walked in on her with her eyes half opened, listening to music and watching the cartoons on the television. Kids, she supposed, never changed. By the time Alexa realized someone was even back, water was running through her hair, and she felt a hand rubbing against her scalp roughly. It felt amazing, like the massage she had at the airport lounge, but concentrated on a smaller space. Alexa's eyes faded and flickered. Riding the wave and listening along to her music, Alexa relaxed the muscles in her body, feeling herself go limp in the chair.

The hairdresser smiled, knowing her magic was good enough to put some kids right into nap time. Beginning the process of rubbing the chemicals into her hair, Alexa felt a fine comb running against her scalp. It made her feel electric. Meanwhile, her gut rumbled, having had its fill of coffee, shakes, and breakfast. Some part of Alexa's part urged her to release another muscle.
