<<set $hair_length = 0>>"Short," [[you|You]] say.

[[Mrs. Anderson]] smiles.  "Short it is," she says.  She takes the mirror from you and has you lean back into the sink so she can shampoo your hair.  When [[Mrs. Anderson]]'s finished rinsing your hair, she has [[you|You]] sit in the styling chair and put on a cape and she gets to work.  <<if $reluctant_makeover>>You don't pay much attention as she's certainly cutting it short enough on the back and sides.  She seems to leave it a little longer on top than you were expecting, but you figure she knows what she's doing and you let her get on with it.

When she's done, she gives you a mirror so you can look at her handiwork.  You are a little appalled at the pixie-ish haircut she has given you.  You have to admit it looks cute, but it's way more feminine than you expected.

"Can't you take more off the top?" you ask.

"Don't be silly, Parker.  You look adorable.  The girls are going to love it," she replies.  Well, perhaps she's right, you think.  It does give you a certain androgynous quality that a lot of girls seem to go for.

"Now, we need to give you a manicure and pedicure.  Do you want any polish on your nails?  You can have either red or pink," Mrs. Anderson says.<<else>>"I think you'd look marvelous with a pixie cut," she says and she proceeds to cut it short on the sides and back while leaving it somewhat longer on top.

When she's done, she gives you a mirror so you can look at her handiwork.  You give a little gasp of surprise when you see yourself in the mirror.  You are entranced at how cute you look with the pixie-ish cut she's given you.  Your soft feminine face is really accented by the cut.  Your masculine pride pricks at you a bit, but you say, "Wow, that's really good, Mrs. Anderson."

"So glad you like it, Parker.  Wait until you see yourself with makeup," Mrs. Anderson says, obviously pleased with your reaction.  "But first, I need to give you a manicure and a pedicure.  Why don't we put some polish on all of your nails, Parker?  For right now, I recommend red or pink."<<endif>>
