─ beauty studio 'dream dry'

[post deleted by owner]

@✵ han sohee⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ yeojin was amped thus far, happy to be doted on by the stylist and be shown some positive attention after the whole fiasco. Since that had hit the public, it had felt like she had a target on her back from the staff. Not that she could blame them considering the extent of the problem. When she sat in the chair, her legs were even too short to reach the metal bar to prop her feet, so she swung them below her instead. "Oh I was thinking... I'm kind of tired of being dark and short... So, maybe we could go lighter?" she suggests, head tilting to the side. "Unless you don't think it suits me!"

@❄ im yeojin ᵖᶦˣᶦᵉ As soon as she saw Yeojin, she gave a small smile and nodded. She was glad the size she got wasn't too big for the girl, opting for something more comfortable so she got one size bigger. "It's part of my job, so no need to thank me. If you need anything else, do tell me alright?" Sohee hummed and gave a curt nod before she turned back to her phone then glanced back to Yeojin. "Ah right..." The woman looked around then led the smaller girl to one of the chairs, snapping her fingers to call one of the hairstylists and gestured over to Yeojin, to which the hairstylist ran over with a hairdryer. "Do you have any colour or hairstyle you want to try?" She asked, thinking it would be best to hear her opinion on the matter as well.

@✵ han sohee⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ With Sohee having worked so hard to get her the change of clothes, the last thing Yeojin wanted to do was make it harder on the stylist. So she took the shirt gratefully and rushed off to the bathroom to change. The shirt she'd come in with was rung out and folded to be placed back in the back, the black t-shirt her new outfit that she strut out shyly with. "Thank you again, Sohee-ssi," she called when she got nearer to the woman. "You really went out of your way to help me. I don't know how to thank you enough..." Now what were those rumours that Sohee was as terrifying as Chrystal? She wasn't sure, but so far, they had been proven so so wrong. "Do I return to the station..?"

@❄ im yeojin ᵖᶦˣᶦᵉ "It's already been done, go change. You might be seen by a reporter or something , or worst, get sick. We wouldn't want that." She handed the bag over to the girl and sighed softly, fanning her face a bit with her hand before she rummaged through her bag for some tissue, wiping away at some of the sweat that got on her. Sohee then looked over to one of the hair stylists, quickly discussing different hairstyles that would suit Yeojin as they waited. She scanned through a book filled with different hair colours before she scrolled through her phone to check other idols doing the same kind of hairstyles she had in mind just in case.

@✵ han sohee⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ She accepted the towel graciously, using it to dab off any of the water that was running down the back of her neck and the front of her shirt, trying to smile the mistake off so the woman that had been tending to her didn't get in trouble. "I'm fine! I promise," she reassured Sohee, laughing softly. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, and the poor girl still got a light scolding, something Yeojin vowed to make up to her later with a flower or food arrangement of some kind that she could have their manager send over. It was all the more surprising to Yeojin, though, when the stylist herself rushed out of the salon and came back out of breath, holding a bag with a single black shirt inside. Yeojin stands up, barely gaining any height from doing so, with wide eyes. "Sohee-ssi! You didn't have to run all that way just to get me a new shirt!"

@❄ im yeojin ᵖᶦˣᶦᵉ A soft chuckle of amusement could be heard from her as she hummer. What came next was quite a surprise. Sohee’s eyes widened as she acted quickly, grabbing another nearby towel and handing it over to Yeojin, sighing softly. “Are you okay? Let me find some spare clothes somewhere, we wouldn’t want you catching a cold. Stay here okay?” She them turned to the woman in charge of shampooing Yeojin’s hair. “Be careful next time. What if she got hurt? Take care of her for a bit.” Sohee quickly stepped out to find a nearby store, buying a black shirt for the meantime before heading back. “Here, change into this first.” The woman was panting a bit, going as fast as she could so Yeojim wouldn’t have to wait long.

@✵ han sohee⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ This was like it was meant to be. Of course Sohee had been an actor before. That would explain why she was such the perfect fit for Ahyoung. Another thing she would have to tell Sua whenever she got out of here. Ahhhh! This was so exciting she could hardly sit still for the woman washing her hair. "I hope to see you more often then! I think your work has been really good so far," she complimented again, timidly turning her head to get a better look and ending up with a face full of water. "Oof-agh-blegh-" a series of waterboarded noises escaped her until the stream stopped, her shirt, the towel and her hair now all wet. "Oops-"

@❄ im yeojin ᵖᶦˣᶦᵉ The stylist made sure to keep an eye on Yeojin and the girl working on her hair, making sure no trouble came to either party. “It’s no problem. It’s my job after all, and I do enjoy working on styles with DSF artists- not that’s i’ve worked with many.” She muttered the last part to herself before she smiled and cleared a bit. “I used to style others back in University then moved to styling models, and now trainees and artists, so I guess you could say i’ve been doing so for awhile.” A smile played on her lips as she raised a brow. “I was an actress before a stylist actually. Surprised?” She asked teasingly, trying to keep the atmosphere light and comfortable for the young girl.

@✵ han sohee⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ Considering the reputation the stylist had, Yeojin was surprised - but pleasantly so - to find the elder woman caring for her so tenderly. Even as starstruck as Yeojin was, she could appreciate it where she saw it. The first place she went to was the sink, where she was urged into a chair that reclined into the custom sink with the dip for her neck. "Thank you for taking care of my styling, Sohee-nim," she thanked again, cheeks red as the shampoo girl began wetting her hair. "Have... H-have you been styling for long? You haven't done any acting or anything before...? Have you?"

@❄ im yeojin ᵖᶦˣᶦᵉ Sohee gave a nod in response then watched as she turned, making sure to look at her back side as well as her sideview, checking to see what colour of hair would suit her, and what clothing would fit. “Yes, not to worry, i’ll lead you every step of the way.” She said with small smile, ushering her to the shampoo chair where one woman awaits. Sohee looked over at the woman that would be doimg Yeojin’s shampooing. “Be gentle, and make sure not to hurt, even a single strand of her hair.” She said softly, smiling as she crossed her arms. “Tell me if you’re uncomfortable, alright?”

@✵ han sohee⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ "Uh, twirl?" Yeojin questioned, having been glad to move from one awkward subject to another, but this isn't exactly what she had planned. Nevertheless, she was not one to disrespect the orders of an industry professional, especially the stylist team which could make or break her image. So the short girl spun, her arms at her sides, until she rounded back to the woman. "All that?" the girl asked again, grinning nervously. Not that she wasn't used to it but... "Where would you like me to go first?"

@❄ im yeojin ᵖᶦˣᶦᵉ “Happy to help, and happy to have found yet another muse.” She smiled before giving her an okay sign and proceeded to type on her phone just in case, not wanting to forget something dangerous to Yeojin’s health. “First, twirl for me.” She instructed, humming softly as she observed the girl from head to toe, nodding to herself. Sohee looked over at the girl behind the counter. “She needs shampooing, hair spa treatment, and bleaching. We’re going to decide a colour later on.” She instructed before leading Yeojin to the back where the shampooing and rinsing were done.

@✵ han sohee⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ There was no avoiding the subject at hand. Yeojin hadn't been able to come along with the other girls like usual, and she supposed a change of image might do her some good. The dark bob was kind of fading on her and she was eager to give it a new style. "I'm glad you're able to help me out with this, Sohee-nim," she thanked, lowering her purse to the nearby couch in the waiting area. "I can't wait to hear about this plan! Unless anything has strawberries in it, we are good to go," she assures the stylist, wondering what the other had planned.

@❄ im yeojin ᵖᶦˣᶦᵉ "That's alright, should I ask someone to fetch your glasses then?" She asked, more worried about the girl in case she was having a hard time seeing. Her initial worry was a forgotten for a bit when Yeojin gave her a compliment, making her smile. "I'm glad then. Ah right. After the news article had come out, I know things have been hard recently, so I decided to prepare your next look once you're out and about." She said, hoping to not discuss the topic but she had to tell the reason. "I have a whole look planned out, starting with your hair colour. Do you have allergies to any hair dye or bleach before we proceed?"

@✵ han sohee⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ Yeojin was being weird. She was definitely being weird. All she could think about was snapping a picture of the stylist and sending it to SuA for confirmation, but that would be even weirder. No no. She needed to keep her cool. Offering another sheepish smile, she tucked some short hair behind her ear. "No, no, I'm so sorry. I uh, didn't bring my glasses today." A little white lie wouldn't hurt, right...? "And it's a pleasure to meet you! I've heard some good things from the other girls, and I've seen the results on their heads. Is there a plan for me today?"

@❄ im yeojin ᵖᶦˣᶦᵉ Sohee couldn't help but bow back as well, taken aback by the sudden outburst of the young girl in front of her. "That's a relief..." She sighed softly, giving her a small smile only to pull back a bit, blinking rapidly as she raised a brow. "Is... is there something on my face?" She asked before looking over at the time on her phone then back to Yeojin, giving a sheepish smile. "Yes, Han Sohee, pleasure to meet you. I'm so sorry we haven't been introduced formally prior to our meeting today. Uh is there a problem?"

@✵ han sohee⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ The moment the girl appears, and calls her name, it's like Yeojin has stepped into the web novel. She's in the live-action web novel with THE Ahyoung in front of her. Her jaw drops, and for a moment she forgets her manners. In a blink, she finally catches up to reality, realizing again that she's in the beauty salon and bows in greeting to the woman. "A-ah, yes, I'm Yeojin. And no! No! I haven't been waiting long at all!" She approaches carefully towards the other, eyes still trained on the face of her favourite character. No way... Was this really happening? Was she being punk'd? "Are.. You the stylist today?"

@❄ im yeojin ᵖᶦˣᶦᵉ Sohee had just come out of the restroom, managing to book the schedule for the day and was just in time when she came out to see a female with a bob-cut, looking similar to Yeojin. The employee smiles and was just about to reply when Sohee stands beside the said girl, a small smile on her lips. “Yeojin? I’m sorry, did you wait long?” She asked as she reached over for a handshake as it was their first meeting.

@✵ han sohee⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ *after having received the summons from Sohee, Yeojin had made sure to wake up bright and early to get herself ready, belongings gathered into a medium-sized purse, and phone fully charged, heading to the familiar studio.*
*they'd come here last time to get their looks redone for the last comeback. this would be the second time she would frequent the place and her first time working with Sohee. A part of her was anxious and unsure, not knowing what to expect, especially after the whole scandal situation*
*she walked into the salon, bowing and smiling to the employees that greeted her*
Hiii... Ah, Im Yeojin? Or ... Pixie? For aurora? And Sohee?

@✵ jennie kim⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ //waves away the undercut topic as it is going nowhere and i won't be getting one anyway - much to my dismay/
Oh, you've gone british now, make way for the Queen.
//continues to joke, although i bite my lips a bit, seeing how much hair I lose in the mirror, and decide to focus on something else, as the lady files out and shapes my edges/
It is, it is, but I should initiate it, don't you think? Someone should take the lead and like... Responsibility? Be spiderman?
//grins and humms idly/
Not a bad idea, not bad at all. The PDs also asked me for some photos, you know "pre-debut DIA" and all that. Said they'd make us feel more "human and relatable". So, as a photographer, I am appointing you official paparazzo of DIA, starting today.
Oh, we ready for the blow dry already?

@✵ kim yongsun sᴏʟᴀʀ⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ I can’t envision it at all, honestly. Maybe I’m thinking of something completely different ?
she smiles at your silliness, saving the picture for later uploads whenever she’s allowed to finally post them; she strikes a pose of her own , pretending to be a snobby photographer
Yes, doll. You have a brilliant face - hey easy with my muse now, she’s the only client i got too
her tone is light and somewhat teasing though her eyes narrow a bit not quite liking that despite the hairdresser only doing her job
Babes PUH-LEASE. The leader is only a title you have but we’re all grown people. It’s not up to for us to have a bond, thats kind of a group effort? Now when we have disagreements of course you’ll have to assert your dominance. I think you’ll make a fine leader, youngsun. I mean it. Maybe we should message the girls or something and plan a day to get to know each other?

@✵ jennie kim⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Yeah, I mean, it's not going to be bad, per se. Just not how I... ~envisioned~
//makes a lil jazzy hands movement, just as the lady wooshes the protective sheet over me, to cover me from the neck down and tuck it well; turns to you as you snap the photo and makes a silly face/
Personal photographer-nim~
//faces to the mirror as the lady forcibly turns my head and apologizes to her quietly, still listening to you intently though, biting my lip as you state my own thoughts/
I hear you. I'm glad to have you in the group too and... imma be open here - I'm not being the best leader so far, am I? I haven't gotten us all together, and there's less than a month... we've only seen each other during practice.
//sighs as the dresser sprays my hair and starts snipping, chunks of hair falling black on the wooden floor/

@✵ kim yongsun sᴏʟᴀʀ⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ An under cut on one side?
arches a brow at that scrunching her face up in distain at the sounds of that
You’d look so good with shoulder length.
leans back in her chair with crossed legs; she takes out her phone to take a “before” photo of her hair.
It helps having you. It helps a lot. But, girl… I’m worried about the group in general. I just feel like we have no bond whatsoever or any like… uhmph to our group you know?

@✵ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ She made sure to nod every now and then at everything Chrystal said to her regarding the laser hair removal, showing that she was listening and she understood said. Once the aesthetician got to them, Ryujin awkwardly put her arm down, pursing her lips inwards as she bowed politely. The amount of questions piled onto the staff made even the 20-year-old's tummy churn. She was lucky she wasn't on the receiving end, she had no idea how to answer that, let alone talk to someone as charismatic as Chrystal. One glance at the stylist, Ryujin was sure she could dominate any industry she would step into, she was indeed lucky to have been under her guidance for the day. For awhile, the trainee seemed to be in a trance as Chrystal continued to ask questions, only snapping out of it when the aesthetician tapped her arm, making her jump a bit and follow the staff.

() hi bby i'm so sorry it took a month to reply ;n; also i'm not sure if she's still a trainee tbh ;u; also also the staff i mentioned is the aesthetician, my brain is in a rut ;u;

@✵ jennie kim⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ[h-aug.12] How short tho? For me its long flowy hair plus an undercut on one side, ugh.
//makes a face and looks at the hairdresser, who just arrived, in the mirror/
//outstretches a hand towards your chair, when the stylists picks up my hair and moves it back, combing through as they do to get to know the hair/
Are you nervous about that? The group thing, the debut thing?

@✵ kim yongsun sᴏʟᴀʀ⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ undercuts are y, when done right. Personally short hair and undercuts
/brings her fingers to her lips making the ‘chefs kiss’ gesture and crossed a leg over the other
Of course I’d come, i am your best friend after all. Plus i miss us time, i feel like we’re always surrounded by people and having to do things. But thats our life now-

@✵ jennie kim⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ[h-aug.12] //pouts not very dignified and trudges around in the shop, pointedly ignoring the chair waiting for me/
I'd look like and egg, please.
Although.... I won't deny I've been curious about trying a side undercut once. But I always pictured it with long flowy hair. You know. Mermaid .
//finally plops in the chair and rotates as we wait for the hairdresser to finish with her prep/
Thanks for coming anyways. We haven't gone out in ages, just us.

@✵ kim yongsun sᴏʟᴀʀ⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Alright, lets not like pull my arm off or anything
says, gently tugging her arm away once they’re in the beauty shop
Please babe , you could be bald and still look gorgeous
/settles herself down in a chair
