Asahina Chisato or Chisa was a nineteen year old girl who wore bleached caramel blonde hair and wore long a tied high ponytail with bangs hanging on both sides. A girl from kyoto and a gyaru.
She was sitting in the cafe after she excused her gal friends as she had to meet someone, which her friends teased her whether she has a boyfriend which she puffed. At the café, she was waiting for someone when she heard the Wooden Sandels clicking.
"She's here" Chisato jumped from her chair and ran as she hugged a lady in a black kimono. People were surprised to see a gyaru and traditional woman bonding.
"Chisato... Oops Chisa, how are you?" The lady pats her head.
"I'm fine Katsumi Onee-chan, I missed you so much" Chisa hugged the lady who was Katsumi Kejoro.
Katsumi Kejoro met Chisa in Kyoto where she was under the name Chisato and was was going through her Maiko training after she left her family due to their divorce and she could not pay the fees. As she wa trained , she failed due to lack of talent. There she was bonded by Katsumi who took her in and with her recommendations send her to schooling and same time Chisato learned few things when Katsumi was learning the modern age of hairstyling. Katsumi then left to Shibuya to live at her old residence where Chisato went to middle school and later started styling her self by meeting gyarus as she was fascinated by the hairstyles.
Now they are here bonding again. Both had the same taste which shocked the crowd as Chisa drank Macha.
"You have changed a lot , you have grown your hair"
"Yes, I did have till my shoulder but after you left, I did myself and later joined the gyaru circle and totally transformed myself"
" I..see... It's nice.." Katsumi giggled
Chisato missed the smile of her Onee-san that she hold her hand." Please teach me cosmetology"
"Uh... I beg your pardon ?" The Kejoro was puzzled
"I want to be a stylist or barberette like you Onee-san, but the school won't let me in because of my look"
"So you want me to teach you?"
"Train me, let me be your assistant like old days"
" Umm.. if you're up for it.."
"Yay... You're the best Onee-chan... But first, if I get to be your assistant.. I want to teach you mine."
"Huh..."
Chisato hold Katsumi's hand and walked her out of the shop after paying where she took Katsumi to the mall.
"Eh .. what am I doing here dear" said Katsumi
" If I can be your assistant and change, I want my Onee-san to change, just a little"
She took the Kejoro to shopping and made her wear western clothes and choose the best ones which would look good at her. Katsumi Kejoro who looked at herself was shocked seeing herself.
"See Onee-san, if I can change, you can change as well"
Katsumi who never thought of herself was brought to tears by her friend and sister that she hugged which made both emotional as people were emotional by their bond. Later, Chisato was given a tour at Katsumi's workplace which look like a beautiful retro place and then was invited at Katsumi's house to spend the night.
As she entered she was amazed as it was a traditional retro house but had a modernized retro interior look which truly look like the time Chisa was in Kyoto.
As they hang out with tea, Katsumi explained her about her rejoining as she said you should first change your look.
" My look?"
" Yes, I presume that you were not accepted as they thought that you would just hang out as they think of you as a gyaru but deep you're a sweet child. How about I change you also and make you a modernized preppy style"
" You can...."
Katsumi nodded as she hold her hand and said, "Do you thrust me?"
Chisato bit her lip and hugged her Onee-san as tears rolled down her eyes as she never got like that treatment from others who ignored her after Katsumi's departure. Katsumi patted her head as a big sister and left her as she bowed with her signature greeting.
"To the Winds of flower, to the stream of the river, Katsumi Kejoro at your service, How can I help you"
As she bowed, Chisa bowed while kneeling in a traditional way as she learnt during her Maiko days, " I am under your care" as both giggled their akward greetings.
Soon, Chisa sat near the chair brushing her hair as it fell as Katsumi had predicted she had hair till her waist. Katsumi first took out a hair dye as Chisa preferred to have her hair slightly brownish which Katsumi suggest having a dark brown hair. Wearing gloves, Katsumi first mixed the dye with the conditioner. Then applying a newspaper on Chisa's shoulder. she then section her long hair into four sections by using a applicator brush parting her hair hair down to the middle and then ear to ear and then starts conditioning her hair.
Chisa was all chills as her Onee-san started applying the dye to her hair. After applying, she had to stay for a half an hour as it was processing. Katsumi then put on a shower cap on her head to process.
Chisa was then washed in the basin, by bending her head down as Katsumi slowly washed her hair and then rubbed her head with a towel and then sprayed her hair as she put on the filler to moisturize her hair and then combed her with a wide tooth comb and made to stay for another 20 minutes.
This made Katsumi to tell her to freshen up as she had heated the water and she can stay in the tub till it processi. After which, Chisa stayed for some time and said she was finished as she wore a bath robe.
"Splendid, Now, let me wash your hair," she said as she continued "And then I'm going to make sure you get a fresh new cut to deal with these horrid split ends…" she said as Chisa pouted.
Chisa felt the shower head rush across her hair and her Onee-san's hand began to massage a generous amount of shampoo into her hair.Katsumy lathered it up and began to massage her head.
Chisa then remembered this feeling when she was in Kyoto It was one of the things that she loved about her Onee-san when she was Katsumi's hair model where she would massage and find her pressure points to relax her body. Chisa's eyes began to close and she let out a pleasing sigh.
After five minutes of lathering her hair, Katsumi began to rinse it out. Tilting her head back to make sure the soap didn't get into her eyes. As the soap was rinsed out, another generous amount of conditioner was put into her hair and was combed through with Katsumi's slender fingers. While finishing , Kejoro twisted her hair into a bun as she pardoned herself as she was wet by washing her hair and told she would soon come after a quick wash.
As Chisa sat waiting as she could feel her wet hair water coming down as she tried to wipe as Katsumi came with her hair wiped and her shoulder hair placed on her right shoulder making Chisa blush as she never knew her Onee-san was beautiful.
Katsumi Kejoro after drying her hair came and reached for her towel robe and wrapped Chisa's head up in it. He patted her down and began to towel dry her hair and when she opened, Chisa's damaged blonde hair became a dark brunette as she ran and hugged her Onee-san.
"Now, Now ," she said as she reached her cupboard and took out a gown and told Chisa to change.
After changing, Katsumi lended her hand as she said "Come now, let's go get you groomed by giving you a haircut" as she leads Chisa to drawing room.
They began to move and Chisa saw, the room looking more traditional with tatami mats but beautiful like the Kyoto houses and then saw pictures of Katsumi from her time in Kyoto as she saw her young self as it bought tears as she was called by Katsumi who showed her to the chair which lay on the middle and newspapers were placed under it.
She was seated comfortingly as Katsumi handed over a brush as she went to get her tools. Chisato began to brush her newly colored hair when Chisato brought a tray and put on a small table next to the chsir
She then began to move around her and then a cape was drawn around her, tightening tightly around her neck. This cape was heavy but wavy.
"Are you ready for your chsnge" she said as she patted and kissed her on the forehead. "You're going to look so beautiful when I'm done," she said gently before moving around Ariana and started brushing out her hair.
"What are you going to do to me?" Chisato asked.
She had never her hair short. It hadn't been short since she was in her Maiko training days years and years ago. She always wanted a short haircut. Katsumi Kejoro ran her fingers into her hair.
Chisa bit her lip. She wanted to ask the question. "How short are you going to cut it?"
"You'll have to see when I'm done," Katsumi said with a slight chuckle in his voice. She had a clear view on what she wanted to do.
"Are you ready…?" She asked with such a friendly smile.
Chisa shook her head. "Im under your care Onee-san, I hope whatever you chose will look good for me" she said as she was ready to get her cut as she closed her eyes.
Katsumi began her work and began by sectioning her hair off and adding thin ponytails.
"First I'll get rid of this length," she said as she reached for the scissors and started cutting through the eight ponytails dhe had made. One by one the scissors cut her hair so that the hair just fell below her shoulders and srarted holding each long piece of hair in front of her. Chisa widened her eyes as she saw all the hair. Twenty inches of hair was held in his hand. She could feel the lightness on her head already.
The Kejoro then set her hair down and looked at her with concerned eyes. She then began to return to her work. Katsumi started sectioning her hair off into parts.
Katsumi then had picked up another kind of scissors and with a fine tooth comb started snipping the hair at the base of her neck as short as it would go. Once he had gotten rid of the bulk of the hair, he reached for a set of clippers and turned them on, letting them whir. This caused panic in Chisa and she tried moving her head away.
"Shh, shh," she comforted. Katsumi placed a firm hand on her head, tilting it down and holding it there. "If you move your head, it might shave off something I didn't plan to," she said into her ear.
Chisa stood still as she felt the Clippers press against the nape of her neck, Katsumi made a triangle undercut. She then grabbed a finer set of clippers and made triangle shapes.
"Perfect," she sai MD as she let the rest of her hair down and re-sectioned her hair and began taking off more length. She was working on making a long bob.
Chisa felt the lightness of her head. She felt very different about the situation. She was feeling very numb now. She was accepting everything her Onee-san was doing to her. She had no other way to react. As Katsumi began to notice that she had calmed down, she moved in front of her with a smile on her face and moved to take off the cape.
"Good girl," she spoke. He moved behind her again as Katsumi finished with her work. Her hair had been reduced by over thirty inches it seemed. From the back, her hair had been reduced to just the middle of her neck. From there, it grew longer to sit on the top of her breasts. "Don't worry, you still have long…ish hair," she said. "I really wanted to do something like a pixy cut," she explained. Katsumi was happy to style her long bob which looked amazing on her.
Chisa found herself looking down at the ground to see what hair was there. Compared to what there could have been, it didn't seem like too much. There would have been more if katsi hadn't set the eight other ponytails aside. Katsumi asked that her hair would look great if she had curls and moved to grab the flat iron and began curling her hair. "Almost done, just the finishing touches," she said.
Chisato felt the presence of hairspray over her head as Katsumi locked every loose curl into place.
"Done," she said.
"Let's go look," she mentioned, pulling a large mirror in front of her as Katsumi turned on the lights. Chisa began to look at herself in the mirror. Her eyes widened as she saw the reflection in the mirror. Her hands moved up to her hair.
"Oh my god…." She said. Chisa was expecting tears to fall as she found herself genuinely happy. She hugged her sister thightly as she took her to the chair as she said, "Alright, now I'll style your hair Onee-san"
Left with no words, Katsumi Kejoro accepted her wish as Chisa styled her hair. Soon Chisa studies hard and got in and would start after her high school graduation. With that, she started training with her Onee-san and started been her apprentice and assistant. Chisa now Changing back to Chisato changed the look of the shop into retro modernized parlour and with her new curly Bob, she sported her favourite colour olive Samue with a apron and a sachet with all scissors, clips and combs placed and wore a black kimono skirt.
Following the style, Katsumi Kejoro too started to modernize by wearing the same Samue outfit with the spring and sachet and kimono skirt and wore a black kimono skirt. Unlike before, she started adjusting her new modernized look as her hair was colored with navy blue highlights as many complimented her new look as they saw the before expressionless woman smiling.
More visitors came and as the door opened, Katsumi Kejoro bowed with her newly appointed assistant as they greeted their clients.
