Kade raised his brows and looked at himself in the mirror. Like what he had? That was much more than just a measly inch off of Kaleb's hair! “Did you get dumped or something?” He asked in an unsympathetic manner, one eyebrow arching in curiosity and question while he went back to getting any minor tangles out. He didn't keep his hair very badly – average, if anything – so he didn't see why else the other would want to get it all hacked off. Er, not hacked, this was Kade. He had to remember that this was an art! ..Kinda hard to think that with too much enthusiasm. He frowned and set the hairbrush aside, looking over at Blaire coldly when the girl decided to step in.

No.” He replied instantly – as if he would let her try to mess up his work! Really! ..Oh, wait, she did say help, didn't she? Never specified what she wanted to help him with. “Actually,” He said as he rethought that, “You can sweep up the floor. Then mop. Wash the windows, polish the counters, whatever, princess.” ..My, wasn't someone in a bad mood? Kade turned from his glower to go back to Kaleb, fetching a water bottle to spray down the man's hair and, then, a pair of scissors to get the cut started. “Alright, Kaleb, honey, we'll see what we can do – keep an eye on me in the mirror, will you? Just say something if you don't like how it's turning out!” He told him as he took a comb in one hand and, with one stroke through the locks, began to snip away at the red hair.

Well that was kind of mean. "Nooo. Haven't even been going out for that to happen" replied honestly the poor sap. "I just want a change." That and he had gotten a weird vibe that he was too old for his locks now. Go figure. "Just keep cutting. It's not like it won't grow back." Probably not the best thing to say to a hairdresser, but Kaleb could really care less if turned out bad. Okay he would care, but he wouldn't cry about it.

If he kept this up, Blaire's frown would reach hell. He was really really mean. One would understand but he didn't have to snap at everyone! Well just her but... "Yeah... I'll get to it" sighed the girl before starting to look around for the broom. Once she did, she'd be sweeping around the salon for a while.

Kade had given him a knowing look in disbelief that Kaleb was being honest there. He heard that line a lot, but there was always a protest somewhere along the line. Everyone always thought they knew what was best for them! But, after about twenty minutes of pure snipping and casual glances to see if Kaleb would go back on his word, nothing had happened. Huh. He guessed Kaleb really didn't care that much. Oh, well, more artistic freedom for him, then! He was sure this sort of customer would have been perfect for Blaire to practice on.. If Kade was actually serious about her working in his field. Please, Kade owned the salon! If she ended up getting an education in hairstyling, then who else would she work for..? If he knew a Vatonage, Kade would bet anything that Blaire would then open up a rival salon that would get better sales than his just because everyone seemed to love that family so much better.

He grit his teeth and set the scissors down with a clack a little harder than necessary, glancing to look at the back of Blaire's head irritatedly. Why did she have to look so much like her?! Wasn't it in the salon, too, that Kade first met Ellie? Given her a free trim and everything! He spun Kaleb in his chair and swiped away at the hair left loose on his shoulders to the floor, giving a quick call to Blaire, “Hair, princess, get it up!” He looked back at Kaleb then and spent a second looking for a hand mirror to help the man get a look at the back of his hair too. “Ah? How does it look? Good? Happy, honey?” His happy tone seemed more strained right then, but, that was, as expected, not at all toward Kaleb. He would have to apologize later for that, but he didn't pay much attention to it right then.

And just like that his mane was gone... pity. Oh well he decided to chop it off, so no use crying over it now. Especially since Kaleb was checking himself in the mirror and keeping a grin. He liked the cut a lot, almost more than his old look. He looked good~ Obviously modesty went out the window there. "Very happy Kade. Thanks" said the man happily. The redhead should've probably paid attention to his snappy tones and such, but he dealt with a woman everyday, it wasn't that different from being at the winery. "How much do I owe you?"

She was on that soon enough. Kade didn't seem happy, he hadn't all the time she was here, so it was best to move. Blaire finished up sweeping the remains of the redhead's mane and looked at the blue haired male for a moment. "...Anything else?" she asked after they were both at the counter. She wasn't done just yet, but just in case.

At least someone was happy. Kade did take a moment to admire his own work on the man – he looked good! He preferred the long hair, to be honest, but Kaleb was a guy and all.. Plus, he didn't seem the type to take the best care of their hair anyway. Long hair would just be a hassle, he guessed. Pity, but, oh, well. “Mm, thirty-five, honey.” He replied as he turned to look at Blaire for a considerable time, wondering just what the hell he was supposed to do with her now that Kaleb was heading out. There wasn't anyone else lining up to come inside and he didn't think there was anything else he could shove her off to do for the next few hours.. He sighed and turned to head over to the desk, popping in the charge in the register while he waited for Kaleb to come over and finish the purchase. He did keep an eye on her and, for the few seconds he had to wait, an idea came to him. Ah! Perfect. “Blaaiire, honey, go sit down in one of the chairs while we finish this, mmkay? I think you need to take a small rest, don't you?” He called over to her in an overly sweet tone with a motion to one of the chairs he did his work in.

Nice. Kaleb was pretty happy with the service, Ilya would be pleased. Course the man was slightly oblivious to Kade's tone, but blame that on just him being him. "Thanks a lot Kade" said the red head before paying for the cut. "I'll see you around" he nodded before starting to walk off after waving to the hairstylist and the girl over there.

-EXIT KALEB-


Hm? What did he say again? "Um, sure? I'm fine tho-" Wait a minute, he was being nice. Maybe she should just do it... "Sure." The girl left the broom over where it was before and walked over to the chair Kade motioned to. Was he just having an off moment before?

'Off moment' Kade's a**! He just had an actual plan outside of being a b***h to Blaire~ Passive aggressive behavior was so five minutes ago, after all! He could do that all year and nothing would change – but he could help change Blaire for the better. She was related to the whore, true, but Kade was related to Jacob and wasn't some buff jock, was he? It was just the hair that set him off and if he could change that he could maybe just ignore who she was related to and make this whole thing more pleasant. So, without a word, he waved good bye to Kaleb, and went over to the chair Blaire had obediently sat in, spinning it abruptly towards the mirror with a smile, “You know, you can't really understand what we do until you.. have it done yourself! So, um, first assignment!” He took out a pair of scissors from where he had left it after dealing with Kaleb, “I'll give you just a.. little trim~! How does that sound, Blaire? Hm? It sounds good, doesn't it?” Although he didn't say it, it was pretty obvious that she didn't have much of a choice. He could prevent her from graduating just by telling the principal she didn't even show, right? Oh, delinquent Blaire~

First assignment? All right... it sounded pretty good. He was talking to her so it was improvement. Wait what? "A trim?" she repeated quietly. She didn't need one... not urgently anyways. "I guess... it does?" Hm... not like she could leave anyways so... "Just a little trim, all right?" said Blaire in the end. Damn career week, she could just be happily sulking at her house, but nooo. She has to be with the guy that wants to see her sister on a stick.

If Kade was a cat, or a certain little delusional girl, he would have purred when Blaire accepted his request. Of course, it wasn't so much of a request considering he was her boss right then! He wouldn't like the idea of going to lie to Yuuto about Blaire ditching out on Career Week, but it wasn't like he had much of a choice.. Plus, he really hated that hair of hers and if she was going to fight him on keeping it, then he would have to treat her like any other white-haired female in the area! “Theeen,” He said in what was intended to be a soothing tone while he tied a cape around her neck, smiling widely while he reached over to take up a pair of scissors, “Close your eyes and trust me. You'll look so much better after this~!” He took a lock of her hair and studied it while he said that, almost giggling at how amusing this was going to be for him~! He hadn't had this much fun since.. well, he couldn't remember, but he knew he was going to love it. Whether Blaire would, though, he wasn't sure..

The man hurried on through the process, going his fastest ever when it came to the job he was trying to sneak onto the girl's head before she noticed or could protest. First, he gave her a few trims.. then some more.. and then waaay more, until he hair was basically at chin-length from all around. He dashed to the back at that point, coming forward with tinfoil and some goopy liquid he somehow managed to prepare in the back in record time, smelling distinctly of kitty litter. Was he going to just give her a cut? Oh, no – he was going to dye it from that atrocious color too! To something cuter~ He wasn't entirely cocky about how much he could get away with, though, as he stopped his wrapping and painting at the ends of her hair. If she asked, he would have just told her he was curling it or something along those lines – anything to get her to shut up. .. Until the unveiling came~ When that happened, Blaire would find herself looking at her new short hair with bright pink ends, a giggly Kade trying not to laugh behind her.

But she looked fine. Really! Ah shoot...However Blaire was pretty calm at first. Hey it was just a cut, nothing to be worried about. Right? Definitely not... The slight pressure from the hair falling down was enough to alarm her, especially when it was slowly getting to be less weight. "K-K-Kade?" reacted he girl softly. This was definitely freaking her out. When the hairstylist left, she was just about to prove that she had less hair, but that hand was slapped away quickly enough by a returning Kade, assuring her it was fine. She wasn't so sure though... Then... he said it was done.

Blaire opened her eyes quickly enough and a small 'eep' could be heard. At least before she tried to say something else, but it was just an open mouth for a while. Until the voice finally found it's way through to let out a shriek. HER HAIR! HER LONG WHITE HAIR!!! IT WAS SHORT AND... AND PINK!!! It took her a good 5 seconds to finally jump out of the chair and almost cry at the sight in the mirror. Oh this was... UGH! The girl turned to Kade with a shocked expression. "What the hell!?" Was probably the lightest thing she said in a fit before storming out of the salon. Most likely to leave Kade to enjoy his victory.

Spring 1 Year 5


Upon entering the salon, she fluffed her hair and removed her sunglasses to hang on the dip of her shirt. Her eyes looked around the place, judging it and wondering if she would be able to trust this place with her looks, for her looks always affect her future. Tatum walked over to a coffee table with a few magazines sprawled out in a decorative manner and picked one up. She flipped through it uninterested and after reaching the last page, she dropped it back into place. Finally, Tatum walked up to the front desk and tapped her pointer finger on the button of a tiny bell. The chime rung out and she crossed her arms awaiting for service and maybe a trade of business cards.

Oh, to be back at work! Kade was even enjoying the simple things like taking inventory in the back, something that Haruka should have probably been doing if Kade wasn't so voluntary about it. Really, ever since he decided to drop styling as part of his regular routine, he didn't have much to do when he was at work! Then again, it wasn't as if people came crowding in to get their hair done all the time either, so it wasn't that big of a change.. The best business he got here was selling shampoo and make up, but who really needed to buy a new container of that every single day? Yep, all in all, the business was pretty slow, which meant that doing even boring work like taking inventory in the back was a welcome thing. He did wish that Fleurette was still there, but he couldn't blame the girl for wanting to explore places outside the island. At least he had Haruka to keep him company when it was her shift..

Speaking of company, a small bell alerted the man to some potential acquaintances! He had his pen to a clipboard as his eyes turned from the paper he was writing on to the door that lead out to the front curiously, as if he could see through the solid walls to whoever was out there. Haruka wouldn't have rang the bell and whenever Tess came to visit she started to shout for him rather than wait patiently, while Junior, on the rare occasion he dropped by to see his father, was more inclined to sit in the waiting section until Kade came across him. So.. That meant it was someone new~! However much he was enjoying busying himself, he would much rather waste time with another human! He left the clipboard on a nearby shelf and took the few steps to get to the door, quickly shutting it behind him so no customer would have to spy on the boring backroom and ruin the nicely decorated atmosphere of the salon! He looked at the woman that stood there and smiled as he racked his brain for who it was. “Hi! Welcome to Sugar Salon, sweetie! Can I help you?

Out came a brunette colored male from the backroom of the salon. No wonder it had seemed empty. The workers are in the back. The man looked so nice and well kept. It was another point that she made on which to trust this place or not. Such a kind yet devilish smile. I think I like it here. He called her sweetie, which meant one thing. Straight men never called her that. This was a winner! Tatum smiled back feeling all bubbly inside, excited that she had finally found the place to be when she wasn't working or home.

"Well, hello. My name is Tatum and I've come to get a little trim. That's all," she said as she uncrossed her arms and fluffed her hair again. "The ends are starting to split and I can't have that for my image."

Her eyes wandered around the shop again, seeing a whole new side to it now that she knew what sort of person worked there. Sure she was a bit judgmental but at least it was a positive judgement. Tatum looked back at the man behind the counter again.

"I hope I didn't have to make an appointment. If so I can come back at another time. Though it doesn't look like you're all that busy," she said trialing off at the end of her sentence while eying the empty chairs.

It took until the girl had said her name and, heck, even a full set of seconds after that he realized who it was. Tatum! That girl running the tailor shop, right? The fashion designer – or aspiring, he couldn't remember which.. Ah, she reminded him of Nadia~ How he missed having that woman working with him! She was so much fun – and knowledgeable! He learned more than he could from any magazine talking to her, but the woman had moved for whatever reason.. Oh, well, Kade wasn't that heartbroken over it anymore. Now.. what else did he have on Tatum..? She ran some fashion shows and.. um.. Oh, God, was Kade really that behind on the local gossip?! He didn't think he would be drawing such a blank with this girl! He wanted to peg it as her being anti social or something, but the way she smiled so friendly at him pushed away that idea. She was so not shy, which meant she couldn't have just holed herself up somewhere.. Kade had just been not paying attention to the gossip! Ah, such a horrible realization this was!

..Well, not completely, but it did make him feel a little awkward speaking to someone he knew next to nothing about. “Don't worry! We take walk-ins.” He assured her with a chuckle, making his way behind the front desk. Oh, of course they did! It was their main business through people walking in for a trim or new look on a whim! It wasn't like they were really busy enough to ever be 'booked', so he doubted anyone in town bothered calling in ahead of time.. In fact, the phone was more often used for just outright talking when Kade forgot his cell phone. Thankfully, the brand new cell was sitting neatly on the desk beside his lodger this time, so he didn't have to use that ugly old thing. “I'm Kade Waldroup, salon owner, by the way, Tatum. Haruka's our stylist, but she's out on break, so.. I'll call her in and get her to doll you up in just a second!” He spoke as he plucked the phone up, tapping away at the phone as he gave a few texts to Haruka's cell, demanding she come in ASAP for a customer. Break at the salon really lasted almost all day considering the lack of customers and appointments, with Kade just calling Haruka in whenever someone did come in. A bit casual for a business, but Kade never had any problems with it before, so why change?

Her smile grew when he had said she still qualified for a cut that day. Well, why wouldn't he take me? His shop is completely empty. Just like mine. .

"Excellent. I was hoping you'd say that."

After sitting neatly behind the front desk, he introduced himself as the owner of the salon. This was better than she hoped. Sure Tatum may have to wait a bit for the stylist to return and work on her hair but she was positive that it would be worth the wait.

"Salon owner? My, my. I own the fashion store myself. Tell me", she paused and walked up to the front desk where she leaned in her elbows and clasped her hands together. "Does anyone on Nirvani Island have a bit of taste in fashion and being beautiful? Clearly we do but, really. Who?"
