Hairdresser: Hello, Lucy! Sit down. What would you like today?

Lucy: Just a trim, please. Two centimetres. I'm going to a wedding on Saturday.

Hairdresser: No problem. And the colour? Maybe a little red?

Lucy: No, no. I like my brown hair.

Hairdresser: Of course. Snip, snip... Oh.

Lucy: What do you mean, "oh"?

Hairdresser: Nothing! Everything is fine. It's just a little shorter than I planned.

Lucy: How much shorter?

Hairdresser: About ten centimetres. But it's a modern style! Very short, very brave.

Lucy: Brave? I wanted a trim, not a new head!

Hairdresser: I'm so sorry. Honestly. Let me fix it, and it's free.

Lucy: Free? Hmm. Show me the mirror first.

Hairdresser: Here you are. What do you think?

Lucy: Actually, it's quite nice. It looks young.

Hairdresser: Yes! Tell your friends at the wedding where you went.

Lucy: Maybe I will. But next time I'll bring a picture.
