Chereads / Kejoro: The Woman In A Black Kimono Will Do Your Hair / Chapter 38 - 038: The Kimono Hair fest

Chapter 38 - 038: The Kimono Hair fest

As Katsumi Kejoro and Asahina Chisato woke up at the inn in Kyoto to prepare their meeting with a important client who had proposed them to style and cut their models for a new collection for their upcoming shoot.

They met the owner of the biggest sweet shops in Gion. As both met the owner of the shop, Miss Katsuragi who presented18 new types of sweets to taste.

Both the women felt a sparked execusite of taste when tasting each dish. Miss Katsuragi then presented a file which contained 18 models who had volunteered to style their hair. She then explained what hair would suit them and what each sweet would represent when they pose with their new look. Agreeing with the words, Katsumi Kejoro and Chisato prepared to showcase their skills as they were told to come to the Katsuragi mansion where the shoot will take place.

The next day, Katsumi and Chisato came in their uniforms and were given refreshments while they watched as preparations were taking place as a room were prepared beautifully for the model's makeover. They had no mirror and a small table positioned in front of it as a counter. In front of the table was two wooden chairs with a cushioned seat, where the model would sit down. There were cameras positioned on stands around the chair to catch every moment of the hair styling . Everything was ready for the makeover.

By 5 pm, all the 18 models were already there at the room as they bowed " We welcome you fellow women, we are under your care"

Then Katsumi and Chisato too bowed and greeted

"To the Winds of flower, to the stream of the river, We are the women from Katsumi Beauty. We are at your service"

Every girl were about sixteen years of age and wore a plain colored Yukata with their hair tied as buns. They wore light makeup and were quite nervous. The lady of the Watashi with her signature Hikizuri kimono and wore a Sakuhatsu look. She thanked both the girls and Katsumi and Chisato for coming. She announced that the shooting may commence after the girls get their hair dine. Divided into two, nine for Chisato and Nine for Katsumi as they were told to let down her hair.

As Katsumi carefully inspected each model. all had beautiful long hair.

There's beautiful Sawa Katsuragi with straight black oriental hair reaching her butt. Her grown out bangs which she constantly brush back behind her ears were touching her cheeks. Other than that, her hair is nicely trimmed to one length at the back.

There's Wan Hamano who has shiny brown layered hair that reached a few inches below her shoulders. The longest layers at the back reached about five inches below her shoulders while the shortest layers in front just reached below her chin.

There's Toriko Takamoto , a black haired with long lustrous hair reaching down to her waist. About half of her locks from the middle of her back down to the tips were curly whereas the rest was straight, suggesting grown out curls. The lovely curls bounced of her back as she turned her head.

There's another girl named Takayo Imagawa who also has long hair reaching to the waist. Her locks were straight silky and layered with the shortest ends reaching about mid-back and the longest ends reached the waist. Her mane shone brightly as it reflected.

There's also Emiru Komine, a black haired girl with a cute face. Her black straight mane cascaded down her shoulders and reached mid-back.

Next to her was Akiko Mizobuchi, a brunette had her hair tied into a braid and it actually reached her thighs. She has overgrown bangs that covered her eyes and she kept brushing them away from her face.

Seated next to her was Nanaka Takamori . Nanaka has highlighted coloured straight hair which she tied up in a ponytail. The ends of her ponytail were just a few inches short of touching her waist.

There was also Shizu Ōzeki, with long jet black hair reaching her waist. The ends were uneven, suggesting it was some time ago that she last trimmed her hair.

The last girl was Ichika Taki. She has straight black hair which reached a few inches below her shoulders.

As Chisato introduced her models, Katsumi faced all nine girls and said, "Welcome, all has been set up and now all we need to do is to choose who shall go first."

She paused.

The girls murmured among themselves at who should go first but Miss Katsuragi stood and spoke

"We will start with the girl on the right. Ichika, come up to the seat!" Miss Katsuragi interrupted.

Ichika almost froze at her seat when she heard that she was first up. Slowly, she moved across the room and sat down facing everyone as others were seated waiting for their turns.

A maid comes with two boxes and Miss Katsuragi speaks , "Each model will now draw out a piece of paper from this box."

She held up the box for all to see. "Written on it is the 2 hairstyle each for the girls in two boxe. One for Miss Kejoro and other for her partner Chisato. . Whatever the chit that you pick will get that particular haircut. There are both long styles and short styles. This way, we make things as random as possible leave it all to chance for fairness sake."

There was again a little chatting amongst the girls. Miss Katsuragi ignored them and proceeded the two stylists to start.

Ichika Taki.

The maid then handed the box to Ichika Taki. Slowly, she placed her hand into the box and drew out a piece of paper. She knew that the fate of her hair now rested on a paper she herself drew out.

Katsumi took the paper from her and read out what was written on it.

"Angled bob with nape shaved to ear level and front reaching the chin."

Ichika just stared and thought about losing her hair. But she toughened herself and comforted herself with thoughts that she could have gotten a worse haircut than this one.

The assistants moved to the four video cameras and switched them on. Katsumi then proceeded to Ichika, caped her and started to comb her hair. After a few strokes to loosen up any tangles, she gathered her hair into a loose ponytail and secured it with a rubber band. Katsumi then grabbed a pair of scissors and held it at the base of the ponytail. Ichika closed her eyes as the shears were about to plunge into her tresses.

After a few slices, the ten inch long ponytail came off and Katsumi held it up for all to see. All the other girls in the room gasped in horror. The rest of Ichika's hair cascaded loosely over her face. It was now a roughly made bob with the back part reaching her nape while the front ends were longer and reached below her chin.

As Ichika opened her eyes and looked in the mirror, tears started to well up at the loss of her hair. She could no longer tie her hair up in a ponytail anymore. Katsumi then reached for the electric clippers and turned them on.

Katsumi held the blades against her nape. Ichika shivered a little at the coldness of the metal blades that has never touched her nape before. She ran the clippers up her nape until ear level and then continued to shave off any leftover hair under the hairline. Katsumi then reached for the shaving razors and shaving cream. After applying the cream on her buzzed nape, she shaved off the remaining stubbles. Ichika's nape was now clean shaven.

As Katsumi put down the razors and reached for the cutting scissors, Ichika touched her shaven nape and was surprised at how smooth I felt.

"Kinda feels nice and smooth," she thought.

Katsumi Kejoro proceeded to finish up the rest of the hair. Skillfully, she took sections of Ichika's hair and plunged the layering scissors into it. She continued to work around her rough bob until her hair was layered all around, then went for the combs again and combed out Ichika's hair. She parted her hair in the middle and combed out her long bangs which still hung below her chin. Katsumi then went for the trimming scissors and positioned it at her nape. She tilted the scissors down at an angle and started to trim the hair into a straight edged angled bob and continued to trim about one inch of hair all the way down the right side of her face until it reached her chin. Half of Ichika's face was now done. Katsumi then proceeded to the other side and trimmed the hair down to chin level as well. After that, she combed out Ichika's hair again and applied some cream on it until it shone and became bouncy.

By now, tears had stopped running down Ichika's face. Instead she had a smile on her face as she rotated her head around and felt the chin length bangs bouncing off her face.

"I love it!" she exclaimed as she hugged Katsumi

"I'm glad you like it!" Katsumi answered

Katsumi then turned to the other girls and said, "You're next, Takamoto!" said Katsumi

Toriko Takamoto

Toriko Takamoto rose up from her seat uneasily and walked silently to the seat . Katsumi caped her and then offered her the box. Takamoto looked away and dipped her hand into the box. She pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to the assistant.

"Mid-back length with eyebrow level bangs."

Takamoto didn't mind the long mid-back style but she was a bit uncertain about the bangs. She never had bangs since she was small and wondered how she would look like with them.

"That's one hairstyle to get rid of those curls? Katsumi said as she stroked the curls with the comb in his hand.

Then, without a warning, she grabbed a handful of the curls with her left hand and chops it off at about mid-back level. Takamoto let out a gasp of shock and so did the other girls. Katsumi then held the curls in front of Takamoto's face and slowly, let the curls fall down to her lap. She could feel her head slightly lighter after about half her hair was chopped off.

Katsumi then combed her hair again and saw that her ends were uneven and jagged as a result of the initial forceful cut. Katsumi took the trimming scissors and slowly trims through the ends until it was all one length. She stepped back and admired the beautifully trimmed shiny hair.

"Now for the bangs!"

Takamoto shivered a little at the thought of her bangs being cut. The lady began to section out the front of her hair from the rest. She combed back the rest of Takamoto's now one-length hair behind her ears and combed down her long bangs over her face.

Takamoto bangs hung straight down, veiling her face, and reached her breasts. Katsumi combed it down one last time through the whole length and Takamoto jerked a little as the bristles of the comb touched her breasts.

"Such long bangs to cut off!" said Katsumi as she reached for the trimming scissors. She drew the scissors to eyebrow level and began to cut off about twelve inches of silky blonde hair.

Locks of hair fell to her laps, joining the curls that were already there. Her face slowly revealed itself as Katsumi continued cutting away the long bangs. Soon, her once one length hair had now bangs spanning across her head at eyebrow level, beautifully trimmed straight. Takamoto then stood up and turned around to face the mirror which was shown by one of the assistants.

"Oh my gosh! That looks so weird, those bangs on my face, but I think they look kinda cute!" Takamoto exclaimed.

Takamoto left the chair and headed back to her seat. Her eyes were beaming with pride at her new style look. Miss Katsuragi admired her beautiful hair that bounced off her back as she walked. Her bangs framed her face perfectly and she actually looked better with them than before.

"Sawa I think you're next!" ushered Takamoto to a girl as she saw Miss Katsuragi signalling the girl to go.

Sawa Katsuragi

Sawa Katsuragi, the daughter of Miss Katsuragi as she walked to the chair in the middle. Her shiny black butt length hair swished against her cute butt as she moved along. Her over grown bangs swept across her pretty face as she bent over to sit down. Quickly, Katsumi caped her and handed the box over to her. As she was given the box

The assistant proclaimed, "Collar length bob",

Sawa was in shock and Katsumi without saying proceeded to comb out her hair. Since Sawa's hair was hidden under the cape, Katsumi had to draw it out from beneath. Her shiny black hair cascaded down the back of the seat. It was difficult to tell where waist length was when she is seated, so She asked her to stand up.

Katsumi then drew the comb down the black silk. The hair shone even more with every stroke. Sawa tingled with excitement every time the comb reached down and touched her butt. Next, Katsumi took the trimming scissors and placed it at waist level. Wanting to save as much of the hair as possible, he lowered it to just above butt level and opened the shears.

About four inches of black hair fell to the floor at the first cut. She continued to draw the scissor blades into her black mane and cutting it in a perfect straight line until he reached the middle of her waist. He then started from the other side of the uncut length and started to cut into it.

Now, only about one and a half inch wide left of hair stands in the way. Katsumi drew the scissors into it and carefully sliced it off. Sawa's hair was now beautifully trimmed straight across her hips. She was then asked her to sit down on the seat again. The perfectly trimmed ends of her hair swayed nicely against her cute butt as she turned and sat down.

Katsumi held her hair above her head. She then used Clippers to take off the bulk of her 18-inch ponytail. Sawa was given the ponytail, since she wanted to donate it for her marriage which would take place soon after her graduation.

Katsumi took the clippers and a comb, she put the #2 on the clippers and used it to shave the bottom third of Sawa's hair. She then used the #3 guard to shave the middle portion of her hair, which he then switched to the #4 guard for the top.

While starting on the sides, small clumps fell onto the floor below. As the pieces of hair being shorn got bigger and bigger, Katsumi made the top portion of the back a bit longer for Sawa.

Katsumi put the clippers down and took out a pair of shears and a fine-toothed comb to even out the ends of Sawa's hair.

She was brushed off and was shown her hair. Sawa could almost see her skin but felt weirdly satisfying.

"Now we shall reveal your lovely eyes by cutting away this over grown bangs!" Katsumi said to her.

Katsumi proceeded to gather her hair into a small ponytail at the back and tied it loose. Sure enough, her bangs were too short to be tied up in and cascaded over her face, covering her eyes. Katsumi then combed down the long bangs until it hung straight down to mouth length.

She went for trimming scissors and leveled it horizontally at eyelid level. She then started to cut away at the long bangs across her face. Slowly, Sawa's eyes revealed itself as the veil was removed. Katsumi then stepped back and looked at his finished work.

"She does look lovely, the ends of her bangs rested peacefully on her eyelids, projecting her beautiful eyes."

Sawa was just speechless as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She loved those new bangs and hair stood up and gave thanked her and her mother.

Wan Hamano

Hamano had been excited about getting a haircut for a while and skipped across the room.

After Hamano sat down, Katsumi caped her and gave her the box. She drew out a paper and happily handed it to read out.

"Pixie buzz cut!" said Katsumi as she inspected her hair. The original style didn't suit her facial features well and she wouldn't hesitate to lop of all her hair.

Hamano initially was shocked at how short her hair would go, but then tingled with excitement as she imagined the feel of the clippers on her head for the very first time. Soon, the imagination would become reality!

"Can I make the first cut?" asked Hamano with gleaming eyes.

"Go ahead!" Katsumi answered

Hamano gathered all the hair and placed it over her left shoulder. She then held her breast length hair with her left hand and with her right hand she went for the scissors.

Hamano sliced the blades into her mane at chin length, reducing her hair into a raged chin length bob. Then, to everyone's surprise, she grabbed her bangs and hacked away at it again with the scissors still in her hands.

Her once chin length bangs were now reduced to a jagged forehead length bangs. The other girls just looked at disbelief at Hamano's hacked hair!

"That felt so good and liberating!" she said. "I've always wanted to do that, but never got to guts to do it. This felt like a good moment. Now finish it off!"

Katsumi as she took the scissors from her hands. went for the clippers, placed the number #3 guard on it and switched it to life.

Katsumi held the clippers on Hamano's forehead. She shivered with excitement as she felt the clippers vibrating on her forehead. Slowly, Katsumi brought the clippers into her hairline. A few locks of hair rained down on Hamano's lap. Katsumi continued to mow through her head until it reached her nape. The clipper left behind a trail of stubbles about two inches wide. Her hair now looked like a reverse Mohawk. Then quickly, Katsumi began to work around her head until all her hair had been cleared away and all that was left were short stubbles sticking out like tree stumps in a cleared forest.

"Done!" said Katsumi as she stepped away from her.

Hamano stood up and rubbed her hands on her buzzed head.

"It feels strangely sharp and spiky! But I kinda like this new style! I've had long hair for some time and it's high time I get a new haircut. Of course, there's no turning back now," Hamano thought.

"Thank you!" she exclaimed as she headed back to her seat. The other girls next to her touched her buzzed pixie head and admired her bravery for having such a short cut.

Nanaka Takamori

As she turned to Chisato who was cutting her model's hair. She saw the girl too was having the same buzzed pixie but she was dripping with tears and lent out a small scream.

Nanaka got up and moved towards the chair. Her nice ponytail swished sideways as she walked up to the seat . Katsumi draped her and the assistant gave her the box. Nervously, she drew out a piece of paper.

"You're lucky you don't have a lot to cut off. Mid-back length all one length", announced Katsumi

"I've been growing my hair out until it reached butt length for three years now. It's just a few inches to waist length now. Oh well, it could have been worse, so I'll let him cut it to mid-back," she thought to herself

Katsumi undid Nanaka's ponytail and let the hair hang loose.

She combed the hair down until it shone. The ends of her hair were uneven and even had some split ends. However, the upper part of her hair until mid-back was quite healthy and smooth. "Well, those split ends need to go anyway!" she thought.

Katsumi then went for his scissors, placed it just beneath her shoulder blades and started to cut away at her hair at that level.

Locks fell to the ground as she hacked away the split ends. Katsumi continued to cut into the silken locks until Nanaka's hair was now beautifully cut to straight across at mid-back length.

"Nanaka, you've got some serious split ends down there just then that had to be cut away anyway. Make sure you get them trimmed regularly next time."

Shizu Ōzeki

Shizu Ōzeki came up as Nanaka walked back to her seat, still inspecting her now nicely trimmed hair. Katsumi stood marveled as another long black haired girl came up and sat down. Katsumi examined her hair and saw that it was healthy all the way until about mid-back. The rest of her hair reached down to waist length in uneven locks. She caped her and handed the box to her. She pulled out one and gave it to Katsumi

"Chin length!"

"No way! This can't be happening! I've never worn my hair shorter than shoulder length and now it's going to go to chin length!" chizu thought regretfully to herself as tears started to form in her eyes. "This is going to be terrible!"

Katsumi saw her teary eyes but brushed aside the compassion. "I must go on!" she said to herself.

Katsumi combed out Chizu's jet black hair and sectioned out the front part from the back. He combed down the front portion until it hung straight down on either sides of her face. He then moved to the back and combed it down straight. She went for the cutting scissors and held it against the back portion of Chizu's hair at neck level. Shirley jumped a little at the coldness of the steel blades held against her neck for the first time.

Large gulping locks of black hair streamed down her back and onto the floor as Katsumi chopped away the hair to chin length at the back. Chizu felt ticklish as the ends of her hair at the back tickled her neck.

"There's no turning back now," she thought as tears now flow freely down her cheeks and dripped onto her lap ruining her makeup.

Next, Katsumi drew the scissors to the right side portion of the hair in her face. She leveled it at chin length and sliced through the hair deliberately slowly.

Her once one length long bangs was now at chin length. Katsumi continued to slice through the front right portion until it reached the same level as the hair at the back.Chizu looked a bit comical with half of her hair reaching chin length at the front and the other half reached down to her waist at the left. She couldn't help but smile a little through her tear soaked face as the camera was pointed at her. Katsumi then went for the other half of her bangs and started to hack away at chin length. Soon, two and a half feet of hair lay waste at the floor and her lap and what remained was a nice chin length bob at Chizu's face.

"I hate to admit this but I think I look quite cute in this bob," thought Chizu. She moved her head sideways to look at the other girls and was surprised at the softness of her hair bouncing against her face.

"You look great!" exclaimed Ichika who also had a chin length bob but with her nape buzzed higher up. "See how bouncy a bob can be!" she added as she moved her head and let the soft hair swish about her face.

"I think I'll get used to this look pretty quickly!? Chizu answered as she got up and walked towards Ichika and hugged her. "Thanks for supporting me!"

It was indeed a sight to see Chizu's black chin length bob blend into Ichika's chin length bob as they hugged each other! "No wonder they say that the bob is the ultimate cut," thought Katsumi as she looked at them both.

Akiko Mizobuchi

Akiko Mizobuchi stood up and strolled across the room. Her thigh length braided brown hair was the longest off all the girls in the room. The ends of the braid wished elegantly as she moved to the seat and sat down. Her brown braids actually touched the floor when she sat down. All the other girls looked in awe at the length and thickness of her hair.

"All this mop of hair is going to be cut off soon! How short will depend on Carine herself!" said Mrs Kutsuragi who personally came to hand the box over.

Akiko looked at her braids for the last time and thought, "I have a bad feeling that I won't be having those braids again for a long time." She dipped her hand into the box and pulled out her haircut paper. The assistant took it from her and announced her haircut to the girls.

"Lip length bob with short bangs!"

Everyone's eyes almost popped out at that. All the girls just stared at the thick braid and wondered how Akiko is going to react.

Akiko Mizobuchi was speechless for a good ten seconds and then suddenly burst out in tears. Katsumi handed her a few plies of tissues and proceeded to cape her. She was still crying when She grabbed her braids in one hand. With the scissors in the other, She snipped the braid and cut away at neck level. It took a few slices and a good twenty seconds but the thick braid finally came off at the mercy of the steel blades. The rest of Akiko's hair fell back across her face at chin length. She cried even more at the sight of her uneven rough bob. Katsumi passed the braid around for all the girls to touch. After one round around the semicircle, Mrs Kutsuragi took the braid back and placed it on Akiko's lap. By now, her tears had subdued into small sniffs. She knew that the haircut had to go on and it was too late now.

Kejoro started with the bangs and combed out the front portion of her hair. After sectioning out the front portion of her hair, she clipped back the rest of her hair behind her ears and grabbed the trimming scissors. Mercilessly, she placed the scissors halfway up her forehead and sliced the long bangs away. Locks of brown hair joined the braid on her lap. Her bangs were now cut straight about one inch above her eyebrows. Katsumi then unclipped the rest of her hair and combed it out until it was straight and shiny. She then leveled the scissors at mouth level and started to chop away the rough edges.

More hair fell to her lap and some on the floor. She worked around her head until Akiko's hair was now up to mouth length all the way. Katsumi noticed that Akiko's nape still had hair hanging out from under the hairline. She applied some shaving cream on it and then shaved her nape up to mouth length with a razor. After wiping away excess cream with a wet towel, Katsumi stepped back and looked at his finished work.

"Okay, Akiko, please send the next girl"

Akiko dragged herself back to her seat, still sobbing and moaning at the loss of her hair. She was still holding the four feet long braid as the other girls gathered around her and comforted her.

Emiru Komine

Emiru Komine was already seated at the seat of honour. Her straight black mane cascaded down her back and reached mid-back. When the other girls had settled themselves down, Katsumi caped her and handed her the box. Nervously, Komine dipped her hand into the box and pulled out her fate paper and passed it to Katsumi

"Bowl cut."

Katsumi froze at her seat at that. She thought she was going to get a bob cut of some kind but never intended it to go this short. However, she was not going to let fear grip her and did not let herself break down into tears.

Katsumi proceeded to comb her black silky hair until it shone. Since Komine had a side parting, Katsumi had to repart her hair to a middle part to suite a bowl cut. She wanted to cut her hair in huge slices and thus combed her hair down over her face and the sides of her face as well until her whole face was virtually covered in her hair!

Katsumi was about to start cutting when Komine interrupted.

"Let me start off! I'll cut my bangs," Komine exclaimed from underneath the mop of hair covering her whole face around.

"Whatever you say!" said Katsumi as she handed her a pair of scissors.

Komine held the scissors at eyebrow level and started to chop of her all one length hair. She continued to slice her hair across her face until she ended up with straight bangs to her eyebrows. She could now see herself in the mirror clearly. She knew that at this point she could still chicken out and opt for just her bangs being cut. But she brushed the thought aside and braced herself for her real haircut.

"Ready?" asked Katsumi

"Yes," answered Komine as she handed the scissors back to Katsumi

Kejoro positioned the scissors at Katsumi's bangs level and started to chop away the rest of her hair to the same length as her bangs.

One and a half feet of silken black tresses fell to the floor at the mercy of the sharp blades. Katsumi continued to work around her head until the blades reached the other side of her bangs. Katsumi looked at the unfinished nape and temples and grabbed the electric clippers.

The clippers hummed to life. Katsumi Held the clippers against Komine's nape and started to buzz of the hair sticking out of her nape. She then worked her way upwards until she reached the hairline. Komine tingled as she felt the cold clipper blades vibrating against her nape. After finishing the nape, Katsumi went for the temples and also shaved them up to bangs level. After the clipper work was done, the lady combed Komine's hair once more and parted it in the middle.

"Done!" she said.

"The clipper ride was a bit exciting and I think I kinda like this cute bowl cut. I think my boyfriend will need to get used to me in this hairstyle!" said Komine as she skipped back to her seat, her bowl cut bouncing up and down against her head but always returned back to its original position.

Sawa looked across the room to Takayo and saw that she was the only other girl with waist length hair left in the room. The only difference between them is that Sawa has had her turn but Takayo hasn't.

Takayo Imagawa

"Now for the last model this evening, Takayo!"

Takayo got up from her seat nervously and headed for the seat. As the last model, she will be certain that her haircut will be the centre of everyone's attention. All the girls and others just looked in awe at the silky waist length straight hair that Takayo had.

Katsumi had her seated and then caped her. Katsumi had made equal numbers of papers that matched the number of models and did not bother to hand the box over to her.

"There's only one piece of paper left," said Katsumi as he took it out and unfolded it. "Shoulder length."

Takayo gasped in relief since her hair isn't going to go very short. However, there's still a lot of hair to cut off as Katsumi examined her mane. Her hair was layered with the front end reaching just mid-back and her longest end at the back reached waist length. She then combed through her silky tresses until it shone even more. Katsumi wanted to cut her hair a little different from the rest of the models.

"Takayo, can you turn your head to the left and face the wall over that side?" asked Katsumi

"Sure," she replied, a bit confused at why she had to do that.

The lady then combed down the right portion of her hair down her chest. Takayo tickled a little every time the bristles of the comb touched her breasts. The ends of her hair just touched her lap. Katsumi took her scissors and placed it just two inches below her shoulder. Slowly, she drew the blades into her hair.

One and a half feet of silky hair fell to her lap. She continued to cut the hair into a straight line at shoulder length. After she was done on the right portion of her head, she stepped back to look at her work.

"Impresive," she thought.

"Now, turn your head to the right and face the other wall." She commanded.

Takayo moved her head. Her shoulder length hair on the right portion slide across her right shoulder easily and rested on her back. Her waist length left portion of her hair was too long to slide across like that and Katsumi had to comb it down like what she did to the right side just then. She then went for the scissors and leveled it at the same position as initially. She took a quick glance at the shoulder length hair at the back to check that it was at the same level and began to slice into her hair.

More hair joined the pile on Takayo's lap. Katsumi continued to cut along the level about two inches below the shoulders all the way until it was done.

"Now face forward," Jim commanded again.

Takayo's hair fell perfectly into place as she faced forward. Katsumi took the comb and combed through her hair again on either sides of her head. The shoulder length hair framed Takayo's cute face perfectly with the ends sliding freely across her shoulders whenever she turned her head. She just looked gorgeously sexy!

Takayo looked at her reflection when she offered the mirror "Oh my goodness! That looks wonderful! It's all cut so straight and smooth and I like the hair just sliding past my shoulders so easily! Miss, you're wonderful!" she exclaimed as she hugged Katsumi.

As Katsumi's nine models and Chisato's nine models were completed, all took a group photo and thanked them as Mrs Kutsuragi paid them handsomely. With lot of money, Chisato said let's celebrate by going to the hot springs and enjoy a good seafood platter which Katsumi smiled and agreed as they went back to their inn.
