Zinna never experienced the joy of having a family or even having friends. She traveled around trying to drown out the loneliness she was feeling. But, what happen when she moves to New York and she finally gets a taste of Love and Friendships.
Zinna walked around the salon making sure that there was enough of everything in each section. It was now 5 a.m. and Honey and Bali had just walked in. All three of them had gotten close since Zinna moved down there 4 months ago.
Zinna was dressed in the black polo with the salon name 'Black Barbie' labeled in white, with some light washed jeans, and her black air max nike plus. She decided to dress comfortable since she was gonna be on her feet all day. She grabbed her phone clicking on her calm playlist. The music played throughout the salon.
The bell rung signaling someone walked in, Zinna checked her phone to see it was 5:05. She walked in to see 3 women standing there. She placed on her best smile before walking up to them.
"How may I help ya'll?"
"I need my lashes done, my friend Diamond needs her brows done, and jay needs her feet done." I nodded listening to their request.
"Ok you come with me, Diamond you go with Bali, and Jay you go to honey." Zinna pointed to each stylist so the girl knew where to go.
Zinna went to the lashes room grabbing the book with all the different types of lashes she handed it to the woman, while she went and got everything together. The woman pointed to the picture with the natural looking lashes with a flare to them.
Zinna laid her back while she placed her gloves on. She connecting the falsies to the clients real lashes. She swung her hips while humming to the song playing over the speaker.
You don't know babe When you hold me And kiss me slowly It's the sweetest thing And it don't change If I had it my way You would know that you are
You're the coffee that I need in the morning You're my sunshine in the rain when it's pouring Won't you give yourself to me Give it all, oh
She went through each eyelash to make sure that non of the falsies were stuck together. She bit her lip finishing the last touches to the eyelashes. She was interrupted by a knock on the door. She turned around to see Bali standing there.
"What's going on?" Zinna questioned while taking the pads from underneath the clients eyes.
"There is a man here, said he talked to you last night for his hair to be braided." She nodded her head understanding who she was talking about.
"Tell him I'll be there in 5 mins." Bali nodded before closing the door.
"Lemme take a picture and then you could pay." She nodded her head getting the cash out.
Zinna took a picture from the front and side of her lashes. They looked really good on the woman and they made her beauty pop.

"That'll be $50." She handed me the cash before grabbing her things and walking out the room.
Counting the cash, Zinna walked out to see the handsome stranger admiring the decor around the salon.
"Mr.David." Zinna said with a smirk on her face causing him to turn around.
Using my wide tooth comb Zinna detangaled his freshly washed hair making sure every tangle was out. She used her rat tail comb to divide his hair into 6 parts placing a clip in it to keep the parts.
Biting her lips Zinna focused on making sure that her braids were neat and a piece of hair wasn't out of place. What she didn't notice was that David was admiring her in the mirror. He couldn't believe he never seen this gorgeous woman before.
"How come I never seen you before?" David asked breaking the silence.
"I just moved from Los Angeles to New York." He nodded his head.
"Are you from Los Angeles?" She shook her head before starting the next braid.
"No, I'm from Louisiana but I loved moving around." He looked in the mirror appreciating the neatness she showed in her work.
"I'm finished."
"Damn that was quick, I'm shocked." She laughed at my reaction before taking the cape of me.
"I learned how to braid quick from practicing." David nodded before giving her a $100 bill in his pocket.
"This is to much it's only $50." She tried to reach his change back but he placed her hands in her pocket.
"Can I take you out for lunch?" She looked at him and seen that he looked nervous for her reaction.
