James tries a new barber shop by Tony

James tries the new barber shop.
I was just seventeen and knew I had a hair fetish, I had spent time researching it on the Internet and all about different aspects of it. I wasn't bothered by it, far from it, I loved the idea of it. My hair was now just touching my shoulders and the longest it had ever been, I loved the feel of running my fingers through it, silky and soft, I spent lots of time washing and conditioning it, then trying different ways of combing it, sometimes with a centre parting, sometimes with a side parting, I was very fortunate in as much as I could have a parting on either the left or the right, I also tried the man bun look too, or even just a pony tale.
I often fantasized about cutting it short, the thought of trying a barber shop that was a little old fashioned and being given a shorter haircut than I wanted actually turned me on. Being gay was a concern for me, I had not come out yet and still tried to hide it from people.
I only had about two months left at school now and at eighteen I could leave, I still was not sure what I wanted to do, but I did know I would need to cut my hair shorter in order to get a job, although didn't want it very short. On my way to school in the mornings I noticed a new barber shop opened, it was only very small and was run by a young guy, probably about twenty four years old, I had heard rumors at school about him being gay, although I didn't always listen to the gossip. He looked nice, his hair cut in a very short skin fade with side parting, quite trendy for 2022, so many young guys had that style.
This particular morning I plucked up enough courage to stop and go in to enquire about getting my hair cut, the guy was sitting looking at his phone as I walked in, he looked up and gave me the most inviting smile, he just said , hey, jump in the chair and I will be with you in a sec, my heart started beating faster and I felt myself feeling quite flushed, I said, it's ok, I have come to enquire about getting a haircut, I am on my way to school. He said, what would you like to know?
I said to him, I leave school in two months time as I will be eighteen, I need to think about getting a haircut before I start looking for a job, he said, ok, well I would cut it before then so you get used to a new look. He said to me, why don't you come in on your way home from school this afternoon, I always close early on a Wednesday, but I can hang on for you and can close the shop once you get here, that way it's less intimidating for you, he winked and gave me that awesome smile again. My heart was beating even faster now, was I ready to do this now? I replied to him, ok, I can be here just after four if that's ok, perfect he said, what's your name, James, I replied, he said, I am Darren, I will see you later then.
All day long at school I found it hard to concentrate, I had mixed feelings about this afternoon, I thought that Darren was flirting with me a little, or was it my wishful thinking, I was nervous about finally getting a haircut, but also excited about the thought of how short it would be, I kept running my fingers through my hair all day, enjoying the feel of my long silky soft hair, today I had put the parting on the left side with my long fringe hanging across my face and past my chin. The other thing that crossed my mind was, should I run home first to change out of my school uniform or just go straight there from school, after all Darren had seen me already this morning in my uniform and it didn't seem to bother him, and I was nearly eighteen and not doing anything illegal ,even if he did fancy me, or was I just living in fantasy ? I was so mixed up and confused about all of it, my hair fetish was working overtime now.
It was now time to leave school, it was now or never as far as I was concerned, I kept telling myself to get a grip. I walked to the barber shop and arrived to find Darren just finishing a customer, as I walked in, he said, hey James, can you do me a favour? Pull the blind down and put the closed sign on the door? Thanks
I sat down to wait for him, he just finished the guy in the chair and he paid and left, Darren locked the shop door and came to sit next to me, he said, relax James, I don't bite, smiling at me again, I was nervously running my fingers through my hair. Darren said, jump in the chair and we can see what to do with all this long hair, I was slightly embarrassed at that, his hair was so short and perfectly styled, the skin fade was obviously shaved with a razor, there was no hair only skin at the back and sides, and the top was about three inches long with a very neat side parting and the fringe combed back with some sort of product, it made the hair look wet.
Darren placed the cape over me having trouble getting it tucked into my neck with all my long hair, his warm fingers lifted the hair and slipped the cape inside my shirt collar, he started by running his fingers through my hair, I started getting hard at the feel of him doing this, it seemed to go on for ages before he said, James, do you have any idea of the style you want? I replied, not really, just shorter so I don't have trouble when I start to look for a job.
Now he was running a comb through, studying every angle and way I had it parted, before saying, do you like my hair James, feel the back of my neck and tell me what you think, he leaned forward for me to do this, I ran my fingers up the back and it felt so sexy, all smooth, the skin was like silk and felt amazing. I did this several times as it was turning me on immensely. Darren looked me straight in the eyes and said, it feels good doesn't it? I stuttered a bit and felt so stupid, I said, yes it's a super feeling, so smooth. That's it then, that's what I shall do for you, and before I could even say no, he said, I know it's a lot of hair to loose, but it will look so good on you, your a really good looking guy. I would even like to take some pictures of before and after for my style board if you don't mind. Darren combed my hair perfectly and took some photos from all different angles to get some good shots.
I had butterflies in my stomach and my heart was racing, was this the moment my hair fetish becomes reality? I felt hot and started to feel my self sweating slightly, the feel of Darren's hands on my hair was enough to almost make me explode, I felt my trousers getting tighter down in my groin and it felt so good.
Darren was now standing at my side, clippers in hand and ready to start, I felt his comb lift up the hair at the side, his clippers buzzing by my ear and before I knew it, the clippers started cutting all the length at the side, suddenly my ear was in full view and no hair covering it, in my lap was about eight inches of thick long hair, my heart was pounding so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of my chest, part of me wanted to say, stop, but I was far too excited and turned on, Darren kept moving around, lifting more of my long hair and clippering it off, I felt very naked now, the back of my neck exposed to the air for the first time in years, but it felt good, I wanted this so much, I even felt like I wanted to feel the back of Darren's neck again, but knew he was concentrating on getting me looking the same as him. It suddenly occurred to me, with this new drastic look, what would I say when I went to school in the morning, sure.y there would be a lot of jibes from the guys in my class and then what will my Mum say when I get home, I know she loved my long hair and always told me how lucky I was to have such thick silky hair, even though she knew I was thinking about cutting it before looking for a job.
I was actually in heaven sitting in Darren's chair, nervous, but enjoying the feel of him cutting my hair, it was exciting and made me realise just how much I was enjoying acting out my fetish, also the fact that Darren was pushing himself tightly against my arms that were resting on the arms of the barber chair, cI pull feel his hardness as he pressed on with my new look. The only part of my hair that was long now was my fringe, that still hung just below my chin until now, Darren slipped his comb under the long hair hanging over my face and with a very quick movement of the clipper blades, it was now resting in my lap, my fringe was just covering my eyes above my nose now and Darren was close in front of me, I got a glimpse of just how hard he was and not ashamed to show me either.
The top of my hair had now been cut down to about three inches and was very similar in length to Darren's, then the clippers were placed next to my skin at the side and I could see them shaving the hair away to nothing, the same with the other side and finally my head was firmly pushed forward to the point that my chin was tight on my chest, then the feel of the clipper blades shaving up my neck, the sensation was electric, I thought I was going to shoot my load in my pants it was so erotic.
I managed to control myself, I now got a good look at my very short haircut in the mirror as Darren was getting the shaving cream brushed around my back and sides, the warm cream felt so nice, he even brushed some on my face and upper lip, even though I had not started shaving properly yet, I still had a little soft hair growing as a moustache. He started shaving at the side from my temples down all the way to the bottom of my ear, it was white skin all the way both sides and the back too, then he tilted the chair back and shaved the rest of my face. It felt so good, never before had I been shaved by someone, Darren finished off with a wet towel and then some moisturizer, my face looked awesome and clean, my upper lip with no sign of a moustache looked so good, I really was getting the total works today and I could see Darren was enjoying the transformation as well, his soft hands massaging my face and head, it was something I did not want to stop. Finally he squirted some sort of cream in his hands and massaged it into every little bit of my hair that was left, he very carefully combed a perfect parting just like his own and combed my fringe back off my face. He stood directly behind me looking in the mirror to see my reaction, he was looking very serious until he saw the smile on my face, he said, James, you look awesome, I am so glad you let me do this style, what do you think?
I said, I think you are so talented and gentle, I am so pleased with this look, thank you so much. He stood looking at me, he said, I would like to get some photos now if it's ok with you, I said, yes it's fine, I am very happy, I know it will take some getting used to, but you have done a great job.
As a gesture of thanks for you trusting me to cut your hair, I am not going to charge you, and also for allowing photos to help promote my new shop, but I would like you to come in once a week for me to shave you smooth and keep it looking good, also no charge.
I thanked him so much and said it was a pleasure for me and what a nice guy he was, I told him I would recommend him to all the guys I know. Darren asked me what I wanted to do when I left school, I said I was not sure, he said, why don't you train with me as a barber? I thought for a minute and said, that is certainly worth thinking about, let me come in tomorrow and give you my decision.
Darren said, that's great, I think we would work well together and I certainly like you.,
Part two soon
