Okay but what about hairDresser!maria?
Sarah is growing up and starts to get more vain with herself, and tommy notices she's having a hard time with her hair. So after he picks up the girls from school for joel, tommy leads all of them to the salon and that's where they meet maria. Man just imagine maria giving sarah all the tips for her hair and trying different hair stylesπ₯ΊMaria focusing on braiding sarah's hair and trying to ignore all of tommy's flirt attempts lmao. And cute little ellie asking for braids too awwwwwwwww
we LOVE hairstylist maria over here!!!! i couldβve sworn i made a hairdresser au already where tommy takes sarah to salons and maria teaches her to do her hair but i cant find it πππ
i do imagine that as sarah grows up past like 4-5 and realizes her hair is different from most people around her, sheβd be less vain and more self-conscious (i really doubt you meant vain in that way so donβt worry about it, im just sensitive to language regarding black little girls and their hair). austin texas in the 1990s-2000s was only about 10% percent which isnt bad, but i know from growing up in a predominantly white area that it heavily impacted how i saw myself and my hair.
i LOVE the idea that tommy and joel would put extra effort, as much as they could, into making sure sarahβs hair is loved and taken care of. i love the idea that maybe they start taking her to the salon as soon as sheβs old enough, like 3-4, to sit in a chair long enough to get herself and her hair pampered
so hereβs some actual plot: maybe sarah has a regular hair stylist that sheβs gone to since she was literally 2, mama shirley (HEY MAMA SHIRLEY LETS BRING U INTO ANOTHER AU). unfortunately mama shirley is getting older, her hands not as agile and quick as they used to be, and she tells the miller boys that sheβs planning to retire soon. theyβre both pretty anxious about it because sarah like routine and sameness, and getting her hair done is already enough of a feat for her with all her sensory issues, which mama shirley always accommodates for. luckily, mama shirley assures them sheβs found a brilliant replacement thatβs sheβs been training for months
when sarah meets maria, itβs like the little girl is meeting an in real life princess. maria has long, long, long locs that go all the way to the back of her knees, some streaked blue and purple and pinkβall sarahβs favorites. maria has gentle hands and rounded nails that feel good when they scratch at sarahβs scalp in the washbowl, just like mama shirleyβs. she has a whole punch of stim toys and fun charms on her locs, necklaces, and bracelets that she lets sarah reach up and play with while she works.
she talks to joel and tommy about their life with her and how sheβs doing in school and how they take care of her hair at home, making gentle suggestions here and their based on her own experiences growing up as a black girl in a predominantly white areaβfuckinβ omaha, nebraska. she lets joel and tommy step in and try whatever sheβs doing with sarahβs hair. tommy, bless him, is so nervous and into her that his hands are way clumsier than usual. luckily, his poor attempts just make her laugh and place her hands next his to show him how to smooth out sarahβs hair correctly, without flicking the product all over himself and his shirt
she remains sarahβs hairstylist for years, and tommy falls in love with her slowly at first, considering he only really sees her once every four weeks. eventually he starts going in for his own hair, then offers to do free repairs for the salonβthen, finally, maria pulls him into the back room one day and says βya know, miller, you donβt have to work here to spend time with me. you can just ask me out.β
βiβi can?β
βyou can. youβve taken long enough.β
βiβuh. alright. sorry to keep you waitinβ, maβam. dinner? tonight?β
βdinner sounds good :)β
gonna tag my hair babies @boilingcowboy and @clickergossip bc i feel like theyβd appreciate this idk and i feel like rose may be the only person to remember my other hairstylist au π
