Maya Gotō was your average architect in the Shibuya city. She got good compliments from her clients. She dated the dentist where she first met him. She had long brunette hair that swept the floor.
However, she had to deal with every girl's worse nightmare...… Bad Hair Days!!!!
Bella woke up on Saturday from a wonderful night sleep and went to take a shower. Before she entered, she caught a glimpse of herself in the bathroom mirror and….
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her hair was fried, strands poking out in long, jagged ways and directions. Tangles and knots were everywhere in her 15-year long mane. Maya decided to take a shower to see if it worked and took a detangling comb, brush and used half a bottle of salon-proven, tangle-free shampoo/conditioner. When she got out, her hair wasn't tangled anymore; but it was all spiky and it was still pointing in all directions. Maya dried her hair and it looked like she stuck her hand in an electrical socket.
She noticed on her calendar as she got dressed that date was tonight!
Maya suddenly got the idea to go cut her hair, She usually got trims or coloring done at a salon, but never anything this drastic.
Maya grabbed a hat and told her parents she was going to the salon. Her mom said all the salons were closed, due to renovation.
She was doomed when her mom said that the salons were closed. She said the next salon was at least 30 miles away.
Her grandmother came in said that she could go to Katsumi's beauty where it lays next to the shrine near the hill.
Happy with it, she walked to the shrine where she inquired the store and was taken by Chisato as she was coming from school.
As she was followed by Chisato, she across a nice retro shop newly renovated and looked like a cottage. As she checked in she found the walls freshly painted and interiored with antique and retro looks.
As she entered, she saw two benches where she saw a woman with pale skin and red eyes as was introduced by Chisato who went to the dressing room. As she was introduced, Katsumi Kejoro replied,
"To the Winds of flower, to the stream of the river, Welcome to Katsumi Beauty. We are at your service, How can we help you"
" I'm looking for a change actually and I want you to take care of it"
"Surely Miss, Please have a seat"
She sat down in his chair and put her arms on the armrests and her feet on the footrest. She took off her hat and told her that she has a date tonight.
Katsumi Kejoro smiled and called Chisato who came out in her work clothes and explain her the task and said Chisato can fix it. She then whispered what she'll get
"Yes Onee-san, I have understood"
Maya gulped and agreed to whatever Katsumi had discussed with her assistant had to do.
Chisato grabbed a clear white cape and put it around her loosely, then he put a strip of tissue around her neck.
Chisato grabbed a tube of cream and another tube of gel. She used it to make the hair more manageable to work with and then took out a pair of scissors and a comb. She started to brush a bit of her hair upward and cut it about 9" from her scalp, and the long, clumped hair fell before her eyes. Maya's crosses her legs as they touched and gripped the armrests. Chisato kept using the same method, she made the hair around the crown longer and more angled.
Once she finished using the scissors, Maya's hair was about breast-length and looked a lot better than when she came in, but she didn't know since she was faced away from the mirror.
Chisato then took a small pair of clippers and brought Maya's hair to just below her chin. He had to tilt her head to get the right shape. When Maya saw the clippers go so close to her neck, she got scared. She saw about 85% of her hair on the floor.
After finishing she then turned off the clippers and used a trimmer to clean up her neck. For Maya, it was both weird and relaxing.
After Maya tilted her head back to a normal position, Chisato put wax in her hair and used the blow-dryer to dry her new haircut and getting loose hairs off her face.She then turned the chair and showed her hair.
She thought it was very chic, a little short for her liking; but it looked very cute. she noticed she had got a cute chin length bob.
Maya said she looked great. She then paid and thanked Chisato and Katsumi for helping her. She said she'll be back in a month as went happily getting ready for her date.
