This is a wonderful write, Bev. You're so diverse! You amaze me. This flows like hair-colouring cream out of a tube. I enjoyed it totally. Nikki is fabulous - you could do so much more with her - a whole book full of hair salon experiences.

Yep. Fawn sure has noive!

Very enjoyable, an easy read. Just the thing for my morning brain which is stuck in 2nd gear today.

Love Av

    Hiya, Av. Thank you so much for this awesome review! I know exactly what you mean about the mornings. I'm an evening person myself. Loved: 'This flows like hair-colouring cream out of a tube.' May I use it sometime? LOL. So appreciate your support, my friend. Love, Bev

Hey there Bev
I'd give you a sixth star if I had one. Thanks for the larger print. I have been reviewing for a hour and a half and these old eyes are tired. Fawn is a double for my ex-wife Betty. She was such a gorgeous woman, but she played everyone for the things she needed and or wanted; especially men. Grand story line

    Thanks for squeezing out your last bit of strength to send me this wonderful review, Bear. I suspect a lot of ex-wives are like Fawn. And I'm glad to be able to provide the larger print whenever I can. I've had reviewers comment in the past on the small print and I'm happy to make the accommodation.

    Really, thanks so much for your awesome and supportive review.

    Heart Blessings, Bev

    Thanks, Chris. I really appreciate the great review! Of course, these days there are just as many men in hair salons as women and I must say I like that development very much. Take care, Bev

A great story.I loved it. You have described Fawn so well. Yes, I think we all know someone who is like Fawn. But I suppose if you look under the surface there is a different character.One who is not completely happy with her life, always looking for that little extra.

    Thanks so much, ladybird. I really appreciate your very generous review so much! There are just as many nice beautiful women as not, but they're just not quite as fun to write about LOL. Much appreciate your time and interest. Warm regards, Bev

What if Fawn's difficulty in staying with one man for long is a result of her father's apparent indifference?

******* AND********

and realize, just like Daddy, I've been played.

****** worked together verrry well! Excellent piece!!!

'Splitting Hairs' is a story that has me smiling from the first sentence to the last. Your descriptions of characters are vivid enough to bring them to life. You have a way of giving us humor with a likeable hair stylist and tolerable customer --one with 'noive'. A fun read! Marie

I got a smile out of this--especially at the end. She's a real work of art, this "Fawn;" she knows how to play everyone and get what she wants. Well done. I enjoyed this very, very much.

I like how at the end of your story, and you've been the good Samaritan, you realize you have been "Used" just like she uses her father! The ending is perfect!!

    Thanks so much, Permelia. I had another ending in mind, but changed to this one. Sometimes, plotting as I go works pretty well. I appreciate you mentioning that you liked the way it turned out. That's very helpful. You're very generous to take time to read my story! Warm regards, Bev

Great story. Loved it. She is a brat. Super duper brat. And you sound just like me, just like a lot of us. We know we should put our foot down, but we get suckered in as certain things tug at our hearts. I went to beauty school when I was very young, but never got my license. But anyway, your story was very well written, pulling the reader in from the very start. The dialogue between the characters was well written, entertaining and believable. The end was funny and annoying at the same time. Or I should say, the brat is annoying. Which means you did a great job writing her, because I wanted to smack her. LOL Very well done. Very entertaining short story.

    Thank you much, LilHippie. Your thorough review is most helpful and much appreciated. Fawn is the kind of woman that inspires envy and loathing at the same time. I've only known a few and usually walked away feeling more pity than anything at the end. Thanks much for your time and interest. Kind regards, Bev
