Machida Honami had finally arrived at the Finishing School Of Sakutaro. A school where the young girls were trained to be fine woman and Honami didn't like the idea of joining the school of Sakutaro after getting transfered after the disaster she made after making her teacher faint after continuously chasing and scolding her. Just a six hour ride from her hometown; the bus pulling away after dropping her at the Admissions Building with her bags.
Honami was 17 years old and did not look like the normal girls though she was a troubled student She was good in studies, great in drama club, But she lack her disciplinary look as she almost look like a gyaru. Her parents were upset that she lack disciplinary and asked her old school to anyhow send her to the Finishing School as it would teach her a lesson.
Ladies were all looking at her look as she chew her gum, She wore shorts till her knee and had long mid-back brown hair with grey highlights worn as a top side ponytail and had a great slender figure. Ever since the sixth grade, her parents had been trying unsuccessfully to keep their daughter from following her senpai friends who were gyarus so that she could focus on her studies and Honami had been constantly rebutting their protection to welcome the advances. They were not happy and believed that the finishing school only school would help after she entered high school right the ship in time so that she could get into a prestigious university.
Fukuizumi Masu, the school director, had welcomed her at the entrance with open arms after the long ride and assisted her in carrying her belongings into the building to fill out some last minute paperwork and get her newest student situated. As Honami followed, she caught a whiff of the older woman's strong perfume and heard her Sandels clacking with each step on the polished tile floor.
Miss Fukuizumi was a well dressed woman around 40 years old, with bun of her sleek black hair close to her head on the back with chopsticks placed, and the few inches of length on top was gelled and sharply parted to the side. She was very pretty and dressed in a green olive suit with displaying tanned legs covers with stockings. She gave off a natural air of being strict and, along with her two assistants, enforced a long set of rules to keep all the girls on their best behavior.
In no time at all, Miss Fukuizumi was guiding her down a hallway and opening the door of her new dorm room.
"You will be staying in here dear with Kaguya" said Miss Fukuizumi "She is out with the other girls in the courtyard at the moment. You will meet her later, but for now I will let you relax for a few minutes while I go and fetch your new school uniform"
"My new uniform?" exclaimed Honami
"Of course," replied Miss Fukuizumi, looking at the young girl's look, and sneakers, hardly suitable attire for a girl her age. "All of our girls wear the same sailor uniform, it keeps things easy and tidy"
"Understood Miss Fukuizumi" Honami said as the director left. She sat down on the bed, getting used to her new surroundings.
About 10 minutes later, Honami heard a knock on the door and Miss Fukuizumi reappeared with an armful of clothes.
"Time to remove what you have on and try on these new clothes," said the director, "we need to ensure that they fit properly."
"Ok," Honami mumbled as she stood up and began removing her shorts, feeling a bit uncomfortable undressing in front a complete stranger.
Miss Fukuizumi waited patiently as Honami lifted her shirt over her head and stood in front of the older woman in only her matching white bra and panties. She shivered as the cool air from the vents above blew down on her, feeling exposed in her under garments.
"Those you may keep on for now", Miss Fukuizumi explained, observing her young tan body and budding chest. She handed the girl a simple white dress shirt which she slipped her arms into and began buttoning. The shirt fit snuggly as if was made just for her, with very short sleeves that puffed out over the shoulders.
Next she was given a layered navy skirt, which she tried on next, noticing that the hemline was very short and fell to about mid-thigh while showing off her trim tan legs.
"Stockings or socks"
"Umm... Stockings I guess" Honami replied
A large black stockings were given by the directors assistant and black saddle shoes completed the new outfit.
Honami looked at the mirror and saw herself staring back, looking like a typical sailor outfit girl she read in manga.
Miss Fukuizumi now came forward and adjusted the skirt higher so that the waistband was actually at Homami's waist, raising the hemline so that it was barely covering her white panties. She was scolded about sagging the skirt to make it appear longer. The final touch was a black bow which the director hung around her neck and showed her how to properly tie.
Miss Fukuizumi set down several other sets of the uniform and announced that these were to be worn at all times at the school.
"We expect all of our students to dress smart and tidy. Adherence to the dress code is important and any violations with be dealt with. There are no boys here to worry about. All the girls are dressed the same so there won't be any distractions and this way you can all focus on your studies." she smiles at the look of Honami.
She then asks her to twirl and then asks her to open her hair and checks on as she sees her having not only highlights but she kept her hair till her tailbone.
"Hmm interesting"
" Is there a problem?"Honami questioned as she knew that colored hair was not allowed and she knew the school won't accept like these kind of hair. As she saw the director checking, She saw from the window, a woman in parasol walking down the campus, when the assistant came with a bowl of black liquid.
Honami was made to sit as the assistant covered her shoulder with some newspaper and applied the black colouring. Honami could not speak as she knew colored hair was not allowed in the school as she sat as the assistant applied into her hair, from the window, she saw the woman as she stood there looking at her and walked as she turned around exiting the school gate. In hours Honami's hair was all black and she look like decent girl but had long untangly hair.
"There's a problem"
"What now" Honami protested
"Oh it's nothing. Rest well dear as classes start at 7 AM."
"Yes Miss Fukuizumi" Honami said as everyone left. She was curious as she heard whispers from the director as she was talking to the assistants.
The next day, she was introduced to her classmates. Girls were around her wore short hair and she was the only one with long hair.
They admired her top ponytail as they touched and rubbed her hair though the teachers just looked at her whispering to each other. She heard giggles from other girls while some upset which made her puzzled. As everyone sat they were discussing to her whether she is ready for Coupe de cheveux fraîche.
"Coupe de cheveux fraîche? whats that?" Honami asked
"Oh!... it's nothing... it's a celebration for new students who join the school"
" Oh I see, I don't know what is it but it looks interesting" she said as she saw others giggling.
As the classes ended in the evening, she was called to the director's office.
"Miss Fukuizumi, may I enter"
" Ah dear, sweet child, come in" she said as she had to sign some forms about her accommodation, uniform sets.
"Is that It"
" Yes that's it, I hope you are are ready for Coupe de cheveux fraîche" smiled Miss Fukuizumi
"Uhm....." before Honami could speak, a knock came from the door as a girl came in and said that someone named Miss Kejoro has arrived.
"Miss... Kejoro?...." she whispered
"Ah!.... Finally.... Right on time, Now come along, we are going to do something about that unruly hair of yours," said Miss Fukuizumi as she began to tug Honami's slender arm, pulling her toward the door.
"Wait What!..." she gasped
Honami was beyond shocked as she came to know why all the girls were looking at her hair. She was going to get her hair cut.
After walking down another hallway, The director instructed another teacher and assistant to take her and left to the otherside. The teacher told her to follow as they reach the bathroom and the assistant told to put her head in the sink as she washed her hair and shampooed her hair. As they wiped her wet hair, The assistant then made her to wear a towel as she was escorted to the next room which was an open empty room as she saw the lady she had seen before. The assistant pulled a metal chair up to the front of the room near the chalkboard. As she walked and told to get comfortable .
Honami was puzzled and unsure of her fate. She saw the woman as she bowed to her.
"To the Winds of flower, to the stream of the river, Katsumi Kejoro at your service"
"Umm... Nice to meet you Miss Kejoro"
"She's a well known barberette in Shibuya and she does all the girls and teachers when we call her for a hair appointment" said the teacher
"I.... see" she said as her legs were trembling as she saw the eyes of the Kejoro. But The Kejoro was calm and expressionless as she bowed and asked her to have a seat.
Trembling she was escorted and walk towards the board as she lowered herself into the chair, wincing as her short skirt rose higher and her bare thighs made contact with the cold metal seat.
Miss Fukuizumi soon returned with her some assistants, and almost 50 girls in tow, all excitedly pulling up chairs around her at the front of the room.
Honami noticed that all the pretty girls around her had the same abbreviated uniforms and their shorter hairstyles in wedgecut, Bob or pixies. She surely knew her beautiful locks weren't about to be cut off to that length. She began to squirm on the chair as the Kejoro hold her head and slowly rubbed her hair as she removed the towel. She then took out a black luggage and laid out pairs of scissors, combs, and a spray bottle on the desk nearby, as well as a strange black device.
The Teacher then announced, "Welcome to Coupe de cheveux fraîche which is a French word for Fresh cut. Let's all clap hands to our newest student" The Teacher said as the girls clapped.
Miss Fukuizumi then stood in the middle and introduced all the girls to their newest student and announced that she would soon be getting the short regulation school haircut. The girls clapped as they looked eagerly at poor Honami knowing that her locks would soon be hitting the floor. The girls then gave some chits which was placed inside the box as the assistants circulated and there was number of chits which indicated that the girls had chosen what haircut she'll get. She started to cry but shed no tear as she saw miss Fukuizumi talking to the lady.
" You may start Miss Kejoro" she said as she sat in the middle of the seat facing Honami as The Kejoro bowed and went back to her.
She first loosened the tie and collar, and placed the cape over her body. The cape was secured around her slender neck, and her glorious mane was pulled out and released down the back of the chair. The cape was shiny white in silk and just long enough to cover Honami's bare thighs. The girls and teachers clapped as they were waiting to see some entertainment.
The Kejoro set about running the brush through the silky hair to free all the tangles, imagining how much time had previously been wasted maintaining such a head of hair. Well that will all be in the past soon she thought, as Miss Fukuizumi was already envisioning her newest student. The teacher then announced the cut in which the students had chosen for Honami was an Eton crop, a haircut which was donned by their founder of the school. Honami started tearing as the girls who were shocked as none of them chose the cut as the school had only a Bob, wedge or a long pixie but having a retro haircut was too extreme. But the girls were eager to see the first girl get that cut.
Honami was fidgeting in the chair, nervous about the upcoming cut, but at the same time aroused as the slow brushing continued. She could hardly believe that her long hair was soon going to be snipped off in front of the entire school.
After all the tangles were straightened out, The Kejoro finally laid down the brush and selected a sharp pair of scissors and a black comb.
The teacher commenced that Coupe de cheveux fraîche has begun and called out to the girl who was sitting directly to Honami's right, who turned out to be Kaguya, her roommate. Kaguya was about her age with pixie hair, cut close around her ears, a style better fit for a young boy. She stood up and walked obediently over.
"Since you two will be roommates going forward, you might as well get acquainted," Miss Fukuizumi announced as the teacher handing Kaguya the comb and scissors. "Go ahead and remove the first locks dear, it's our tradition here at the school."
Kaguya accepted the tools while grinning at her new friend, "Nice to meet you !" She stepped up to Honami's side, combed up a length of her silky tresses on top, held it high, and snipped it off a few inches from her scalp. There were squeals of excitement from the other girls as the severed lock was discarded on the floor, and another was quickly combed up and snipped off as well by her homeroom teacher.
"This is fun," Madison giggled as she saw each subject teacher cut several more strands free of Honami's head as some girls sang hymns as part of tradition. Honami gasped but still held her head high, refusing to get emotional in front of everyone.
"Alright dear, that's a good start. Go sit down now," Miss Fukuizumi said as she took the scissors and comb and cut one strand of hair and handed to the assistant as some assistants picked up the hair and wrapped in a paper and said she would recieve them during her graduation
As Kaguya and Miss Fukuizumi retreated back to their chair to watch the rest unfold.
The Kejoro stood right behind Honami and began the process of combing up lock after lock, shortening each one to about 3 inches in length. Honami was fidgeting in the chair, watching her beautiful hair raining down all over the cape and spilling to the floor. As her hair got shorter and shorter, she could feel her arousal getting stronger, which she was trying to hide. She was being turned on by the woman shearing off her gorgeous locks in front of all of the other girls, who were glued to the spot, watching each and every snip.
Great hanks of hair were falling all around the chair as the lady reduced first the top, then the back and sides to a uniform 3 inches. Next, she placed the scissors in front of Honami's left ear and carved a path up and around it, fully exposing it. The scissors continued snipping across her neck and up around her other ear. The woman thrn trimmed up her bangs so that they rested midway up her forehead.
The spray bottle was picked up next, and the Kejoro stepped around the chair, spritzing her shortened hair and combing it back and forth to get under all the layers. After the hair had been thoroughly wet down to her liking, she began to comb it back off her forehead with quick strokes. Drawing a straight line with the comb on the left side, she created a nice clean part, combing the hair over on top and the sides down and back toward her ears.
Honami was one of the prettiest girls that had ever come to her school, and she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to give her a nice short and proper introductory haircut. The Kejoro decided to take the top down another inch, combing and cutting each lock, sending little snippets down onto the cape. The Kejoro noticed that Honami had a calick in the back that refused to lay down, so she reduced that area a bit further.
Finally it was time to tackle the sides. The woman set down her scissors and grabbed the black hair clippers as the girls screamed with glee as they clapped. She plugged them in and approached Honami's left side. After tilting her head to the proper angle and using the comb as a guide, she set about reducing the entire left side to half an inch in length below the side part. She trimmed a little shorter around the ear and reduced the sideburn.
This process was repeated on the right side and then the back with the hair being blended closer toward the crown. Now using the bare clippers blades, the hairline was neatly trimmed down the sides at her temple, around her ears and across the neck. She noticed a faint whiteness appearing as the virgin hair was removed at the hairline.
After placing the clippers back on the desk, she picked up her small brush and wisked away the loose hair on Honami's head and neck. Now the crop had really taken shape and Honami's hair style resembled different from the other girls, just a bit shorter all around.
The girls clapped as miss Fukuizumi came forward and checked and announced that she was the one who introduced the cut and She planned to keep the same cut for the hair after their next visit to the haircut.
The Kejoro shook out the cape, which had become covered in so much hair that it appeared more sending the loose pieces to the floor.
"You look terrific," exclaimed Miss Fukuizumi said as she thanked the lady and congratulated Honami bfor her cut, "so much better without all that bothersome hair. Now we can all see your beautiful face and your cute little ears. You will soon see how nice it is not having to fuss with it any longer! We are almost done here, just need to show you how to properly style it up."
After sweeping the abbreviated bangs across her forehead, A small adjustment was made here and there, and then the woman removed the cape and announced that her regulation haircut was now complete.
Honami saw all of the girls clammering to get a closer view of her new short style. Miss Fukuizumi held out a hand mirror in front of her so she could see the result. Her once glorious mane had been reduced to a little boys cut with a severe side part, there was no other way to describe it.
Staring back at her in the mirror was a completely different face, one that was now exposed to the world, no longer hidden behind the hair that she had harbored for so long. She was instantly turned on, upon catching a glimpse of herself sitting in the chair in her new school outfit with her new short haircut. She began to explore the short pelt on the side with her free hand; especially where it was cut cleanly around her ear. It felt sensational where it had been clippered close to her skin. She noticed that her color, once a pristine shade of her hair had gotten slightly darker as the hair had been cut closer to the roots. As the Kejoro bowed as she had to leave, the director thanked and came back to Honami who was sobbing.
"I hope you like your new hairdo, because you will keep this style for as long as you are here," Miss Fukuizumi told her. "It will take some getting used to but you will soon realize how easy I have made it for you. From now on, you will receive a trim every two week to maintain a clean appearance."
The teacher then announced "Dinner will be ready in the mess hall shortly, you all better go get washed up now while I clean up,"
The girls incharge gathered a broom from the closet and began sweeping up the remnants of the day's shearing.
Honami stood up on wobbly legs and followed the others toward the door, still rubbing her head. Maybe this school won't be so bad, she thought as she thanked the lady who she had never met.
The Kejoro who walked to the gate turned and said, " What a strange school".
