Its been a week since Miss Katsumi and Chisato moved to Tokyo and have opened their store in Shinjuku where different kinds of people. Men, woman and children passing by used to come there and get trims, change if look etc. It was quite easy for both of them as the shop had a house in the top and was easy for Katsumi Kejoro to lease it .
One day ,Chisato after her classes has ended was in the local retail Super market .When She looked over and saw a girl working behind it that caught her attention. She had long dark shiny Raven hair with barrel curls. She was slender. She figured she was in her mid 20's and as she looked like she had trouble of having her hair long while working as it was covering her face .
No one was around so she approached her at the counter. " Hi, my name is Chisato and I work at Katsumi's Beauty. I couldn't help notice how pretty you are. Now, I'm looking for Models for promoting our social media as we opened newly in Shinjuku. We pay a nice fee to my models. I don't know how many hours you get here but I'm sure you could use extra money. Here is my business card. What is your name do you think you might be interested?"
The superstore girl looked back at Chisato. "My name is Michiko Ishiyama . Do you really think I'm model material?"
" Oh, yes and I want to take a few cell phone photo's of you to send off to someone I know to get their opinion. Could you step over by there so I can take a few photo's of you from front and back away from the counter." Michiko step over and posed.
" How much do you pay your models?"
" It will be more than you make a week here if you play your cards right. We can discuss that during your consultation"
" When can I come in for a consultation?"
" How about 4pm tomorrow. Do you know how to find my place?"
" Yes, it I can be there at 4pm tomorrow. "
" One more item. Are you over 18?"
"Yes, I'm 22."
" Great, It was nice to meet you and I think you will make a good model for us." Chisato hung around and took a few more casual photo's of Michiko and her shiny thick black mane.The whole discussion had taken less than 15 minutes.
Chisato knew there were several long haired girls working within the Supermarket and if she get Michiko to make a major change it might encourage a couple of the other long haired girls to follow her example.
Chisato got back to the shop and asked her sensei and Roommate Katsumi " What do you think of the girl?"
" I think she has alot of potential."
The next day at 3:55pm into the shop walked Michiko Ishiyama with her thick hair up in a bun.
" Hi Michiko, I'm glad that you could make it. You look different with your hair up and I must say in a most positive way. Let's go there, My boss is waiting for us there."
They walked back to the office and Chisato told Michiko to take a seat. Katsumi went over and greeted them. Chisato sat down and looked across the desk at Michiko. She smiled and looked at her with her thick bun.
"Alright then, Our process begins with a consultation, we discuss exactly what we are planning on doing with your hair, then we do a shampoo and scalp massage, we dry the hair off, we give you your haircut, style it and you are all set! So we will start now with the consultation."
Michiko nodded
" Now, I want you to stand up and let down your hair so that Onee-sama and I can appraise the value of it to start."
Michiko stood up and Chisato and Katsumi came over behind her as her long thick dark shiny hair tumbled toward her waist. She was 5.4 ft and had 65 inches of hair.
Katsumi came over and finger combed the main feeling the thickness of it. Then Chisato pulled it into a thick ponytail and exam ended Michiko's neck and nape. Michiko was told to sit back down.
"Okay, Michiko, I can pay you this much if you agree to let me cut your hair into a short pixie. We will make a video of the haircut and take some still photo's to be put into our makeover books in the front reception area. What do you think?"
" What is a pixie cut?" Michiko asked
Katsumi took a photo and showed Michiko to see. Valina
"Wow, that is short. I've never had short hair before."
" Yes it is short but your hair will grow back and I know you can use the extra cash." said Katsumi
" You have 24 hours to think it over as I have other girls to interview if you don't want to do it. Now, if you want to do and are not afraid of making a change and not afraid of being a model then I want you here at 8am tomorrow and have your hair shampooed . Here is a makeover agreement I need you to sign. Does that all sound ok with you?"
"Yes, it does I just don't know about cutting my hair that short and how I'd look." said Michiko nervously
" Now don't worry dear your not going to leave here looking like a man." smiled Katsumi
Michiko got up and walked down the hall and out the door. Her long shiny black mane swaying back and forth near her waist line.
The next day Chisato was at the shop early at 7:30am along with Katsumi.
Just as Chisato had hoped up to the door at 7:55am walked Michiko with her long black mane in Barrel curls. Chisato opened the door " Good morning Michiko. I see you're ready to make a change and some good money for easy work. I see you signed the contract already and are ready to do it. I want you to follow me to the production studio. I want you to put your hair up in a bun like yesterday and go into the changing room and wear this gown. Then you can come out and we will start your makeover. It is normal for you to be nervous."
Down they went to the shop where upon opening the door stood Katsumi. Michiko took the scene in the the styling chair with counters and mirrors on three sides. Various cutting tools were on the counter. She twisted her thick hair up into a bun and went inside a the changing room and stripped off her clothing and put on her bright white gown. When she came out she was met by Katsumi and Chisato.
"Hi Valina,I want you to stand on the Star where I will take some before photos with your hair up and hair down. " said Chisato with her camera on.
Michiko stood still while photo's of her were taken. Then she moved to the styling chair area where Katsumi came over and told her to sit down and she placed a nice silver cape tightly around her neck. Then for few minutes Michiko was given to comb her long hair one last time
" Michiko, it is time to say goodbye to your long mane." said Chisato as Katsumi sectioned the hair off into several ponytails full of curls and with her clippers began removing the long 22 inch locks. She placed them carefully on the counter. Michiko watched stoickly as her long tresses were cut off. Then with a number 3 guide she ran the clippers up the back of her nape and around the sides of her petite head. Black locks of hair fell to the floor. Then using scissors and a comb she shaped her new pixie style.
Michiko looked very sexy with her new style and Katsumi finished it off by removing the cape and razoring her neck area.
She handed her a mirror and the girl felt her super short new style and could only say " Holy Shit". She got up took some after photo's , took the envelope full of money and thanked the two stylists.
