It’s day six in the Scissorhands salon, and it looks like Javine’s luck has just ran out!

The pop singer sneaked into the staffroom for a quick nap this afternoon, but no sooner had she put her head on the pillow, than Lee Stafford, salon manager, walked in and caught in the act.

Lee called Javine into his office. “Shall we have a little appraisal then?” said Lee, not waiting for an answer. “How do you feel about cutting hair?”

“I like to create as I go along..” she said.

“And your work ethic?” Lee asked.

“I think it’s good..”

“I’m finding you a bit lazy to say the least,” said Lee.

“In which area?”

“Falling asleep out the back for example..”

“My energy is really low. I’m not allowed to fall asleep?” protested the singer.

“You have to go through it; I’ve had plenty of pregnant women working for me. Saying ‘I’m tired, I’m going to sleep’ is not a winning attitude. Headaches, runny noses.. in my world, people have got clients; money to put in the till. A headache is not a good enough excuse.”

“Everyone’s different though..” said a defensive Javine.

“This is nothing personal… Javine, I think you’re great, but if you’re on my team you need to be more proactive, less lazy, step up a bit -”

“I want to go home. I’m knackered,” declared Javine.

“You’ve done nothing!” laughed Lee. “I had severe dermatitis on my bottom for the first three days in this Academy… You do not look that unwell to me…”

That’s her told then!
