Arima Kyoki prepares her herself for the summer festival and go with her school friends. As she walked along the long stretch of sidewalk to get her Yukata from her Aunt, she found out her Aunt had left to Hawaii.
Disappointed she went home disappointed.Her brown hair, hanging over her shoulders. It was basic, never touched . She had never dyed or had more than a inch cut off. Her shapely body, covered by a beautiful floral sundress to cover herself from the hot summer heat.
As she walked. She found herself outside the sweet shop next to the Shrine. She decided to walk through, finally after taking a hour to walk around and rest herself she sat at a bench buying some sweets and Ramune. she took a few moments to text her friends to update them on what she would be doing during the festival.
She looked up from her phone across the laws of the houses across from the park. Her eyes scanned before she saw a sign, sticking in the ground of the shrine wall. She took a moment to read it. " Free haircuts with renting Yukata for the festival."
She was amazed as she could wear a Yukata finally but took a strand of her hair, trying to force herself to go to the door, telling herself if the person behind the door was a creep, or not a woman themselves. That she could just turn and walk away.
But, still she sat not moving she texted her friend. Who quickly responded telling her that she dared her to get a haircut there.
That was it, she knew her friend would make fun of her if she didn't do it. She fingered the ends of her basic almost perfect hair before walking up the stairs and walked to the door.
She knocked once…twice…again. Finally after the third attempt. The door was slides and a woman appeared.
Kyoko was mesmerized by the lady's look. she definitely had curves to her, she wore black kimono with beautiful hair tied with a flower pin.
The woman introduced herself. "To the Winds of flower, to the stream of the river, Katsumi Kejoro at your service"
" Uh .. hello, I saw your ad for a free haircut for renting a Yukata"
" Yes, since the festival is coming and my salon completes their anniversary, I have decided to give free cut for today with renting a Yukata. Come in."
The kejoro guided her inside. Watching the younger woman do so, Kyoko didn't even bother to fight it
" Your hair, it looks so dry, follow me to the sink. It needs to be washed first." The Kejoro did not even give Kyoko a option but to follow her up the chair near the sink .
The Kejoro threw her down her, forcing her head to the sink The sink was filled to the brim with ice cold water. She took her head and pushed her in the water. Kyoko gasped in shock to which the Kejoro replied her to relax.
The woman poured some shampoo running it roughly into Kyoko's hair. She ran it as hard as she could into her hair after a while it made bubbles and she dropped to the side before scrubbing it in to her hair.
Finally dunking her head back into the tub of ice cold water, making sure her hair was washed thoroughly.
The Kejoro then escorted her into a old fashioned barber chair as Kyoko was terrified as she never saw this coming. Her hair was bought to get cut just to rent a Yukata.
The Kejoro soon put on the cape covering her body and raking her fingers through the woman's hair. Without asking what hair style she wants, She sprayed some water and took a pair of shears, and grabbed her long hair taking several long clumps snipping them close to the skin, She gave her no mercy letting the locks fall over her body.
Then then pulled out of grabbing clippers, they were soon turned on, being dragged across her scalp, front to back. Kyoko could feel the loud buzzing as it went through her once gorgeous long locks. Finally, she was in a pixie cut dressed beautifully.
She was then applied light makeup and given a yellow Yukata which matched with her look. She thanked the woman as she went to enjoy the festival with her friends.
