No one ever caught me eating hair before — and this dude wasn’t shy.  He shouted, “What are you doing!”

I’d just begun styling a natural blonde, a wonderfully plump little thing whose body was all curves.  She looked around and I nearly hacked open her jugular.

“Careful.”  I palmed my scissors and used both hands to size out her bangs, pretending I didn’t realize the dude meant me, hoping he’d go away.  But he was a Watch.  I’d already spotted the pin-point cameras tucked behind his ears, as if his puffy  wolfman curls, shaped to conceal, weren’t indication enough.

The good news was that he probably wasn’t live on-line.
