Cutting Loose

There's a funny thing about hair—it grows back, but sometimes the changes we make in life don't. As a stylist in a busy salon, I've spent years listening to everyone else's stories while hiding from my own. I used to think wielding a pair of scissors gave me control over something, but lately, every snip feels like I'm trimming away pieces of myself. Enter Mara, Cassie, and a whirlwind of unexpected encounters that have me questioning everything. When your chair is full of secrets, heartbreaks, and life-altering decisions, you start to realize that maybe, just maybe, it's time for your own transformation. I've been hiding behind other people's stories for too long, but with a festival around the corner, an ex strolling back into town, and a mysterious client dropping hints of past betrayals, I'm about to discover that sometimes it's not just hair that needs a change—sometimes it's your whole life. And trust me, I'm not going down without a fight.
