As you appear in the shop, you find yourself in a parlour with comfortable looking chairs and tables throughout, with the look of a 1950’s beauty salon.

Sit and relax here until you are called to begin your day at the spa or to have your hair done!

Have you chosen what you would like for your hair style? Were you wanting to match your hairstyle to show Gryffindor House Spirit or perhaps to support your Quidditch team at the next game? Pick up one of the mirrors that are laying on the tables and tell it precisely what you want. These mirrors will show you what you will look like once your hair is styled or what your personalized makeover will look like! Don’t forget to bring this mirror with you when your name is called!

Summer vacation was just starting and as thus headed Leo to Diagon Alley to get a haircut in the newly re-opened beauty shop. The whole process was making the 40 something adult uneasy. He had never liked getting a haircut and as he had told his blond girlfriend many times, a small part of him still thought that he was suddenly going to go as bald as his uncle. Stepping into the very pink parlour the dark mop-haired middle aged man took a seat in one the chairs after signing in at the counter.

With time to waste Leo picked up one of the hair style magazines lying on the table to browse in while he waited. Hopefully he wouldn't get stuck with a hairdresser as crazy as Monte Bossa in Hogsmeade.

So much for getting to use that discount coupon on at last when he was done with work. It had long since expired... two years ago. Oh well. He was free at last today, so Justin decided to make a stop at the Parlour his younger brother kept recommending to him. His hair could use a trim and all.

Pink.

Wow.

There was quite alot of pink in here. Shaking his head, this would be the type of place his brother recommended to him. Well, he was here already. Might as well make the most of it. They probably don't get a lot of men in here anyway.

Speaking of. Justin after signing in, noticed one of the waiting occupants. He grinned. Sweet. He wasn't going to be the only man in here. Did his girlfriend or crazy relative of his make him come too? Not that it was weird if he did arrive on his own accord. Everyone had their own tastes to make things more interesting. With an extra pep in Justin's step, he gladly took an empty seat right by him. Cocking his head to take a glance at the magazine cover the man was engrossed in, "Anything look good in there?" If so, he was the sharing type, wasn't he?

*Nordic Witch* · 08-13-2015, 04:44 PM

Skimming the pages of the magazine Leo stopped to make big eyes at the sight of a woman with gigantic pink hair. That looked like a haircut gone wrong or could people really want their hair to look like that? Turning to another page hoping for a more normal looking hairstyle Leo drew a blank. This picture of a man with long braids just looked weird. It was at about this time that another dude stepped into the beauty parlour undoubtedly to get a haircut. Leo didn't pay him much attention until the same guy took a seat in the chair adjacent to his.

The other guys question made him angle the magazine to so that the other guy could see too as he glanced over. "It depends on what kind of hair styles you like. I don't personally think I could rock braids for instance." And not to mention that Cassie would wonder if he was getting sick or crazy if he came home looking like that. Leo was getting a normal trim not a whole new hair style.

Hmm? So what waaas he looking at? Justin shifted in his chair to take a glance when-aha, he was already making it easier by letting him see. Braids, eh?

Justin then turned his head to look at the picture. Then at the man next to him. Then the picture. The Man. Before he began to laugh, "I don't know, mate, you do have the right head shape and hair length to work it." But hey, it wasn't his hair and braids were a pain at times... Not that he had any experience with them. Ahem. "So what's your name? I'm Justin." Offering a hand.

Not that Leo had ever tried his hand at the muggle sport called tennis but he had happened upon it on an occasion when he had gone past a window of a bar where they had shown it. The other guy's head moved back and forth from the magazine to looking Leo in the face just like the spectators of that sport. Watering his lips Leo gave a visible shudder at the suggestion. "No, just no. I might have the right head shape but I'm not here for a makeover just a normal trim of the edges, and braids that'd be too extreme."

Shaking the offered hand he said flashing a smile. "Nice to meet you Justin. I'm Leobald but mostly everyone calls me Leo." Regarding the other man Leo asked curiously "Here to get a new hairstyle or just a trim?"

Aw, this was a serious bloke, wasn't he? No matter as he continued grinning, "Leo, eh? Nice to meet you too." Now what was he here for, "Same as you, just a trim and all for the new job." He had a certain appearance to maintain after all.

Now then, "Do you come here often?" Or was just it just once in a blue moon or recommended by someone?

Smitten by Justin's grin Leo couldn't help himself from grinning back as he answered "Yes, its Leo." Flipping the pages of the hair style magazine over he saw absolutely nothing he could see himself wearing. He hadn't been there for a makeover and thus Leo would most likely leave with just a trim unless the hairdresser could convince him otherwise. Justin's next comment made Leo drop the magazine on the table to focus his full attention on the other guy. "New job? Wow, that must be exciting? Where will you be working?"

Letting his eyes wander around the parlour he said quietly. "I have visited this shop a number of times before for their top of the range hair products." It felt awkward saying that out loud even if it was to another guy and there currently were no women in sight. "My biggest fear is to go bald so I do everything to prevent that from happening." There Leo had just revealed his biggest fear in life to Justin who was pretty much a stranger to him.

From this distance, Justin could see that magazine didn't have any particular styles that enticed him enough to try out, let alone ask to have done. Instead he focused more on this fellow chap, Leo. "Yep, going to be working at my old school, Hogwarts." This one surely knew of it, before he closed a fist to allow his thumb to point himself out with a wider grin, "You're looking at the new Groundskeeper." Too confident? Well, somebody had to be to fill in those dangerous shoes, in Justin's mind. "Where do you work, if you don't mind me asking."

He blinked once or twice. Interesting.. as a few more blinks happened from Justin. It wasn't everyday or rather every person he became acquainted with already shared some personal stuff with him. He grinned wider. Cool. He was going to have keeps with this. "It's good thing you're not a muggle then, with what we have available to fix that." Not that there was anything wrong with being one, as he knew a number of them. His blue-green eyes then glanced towards Leo's hair, with how thick it appeared. "From the looks of things, I think your hair won't be leaving anytime soon." Buuut even if it was, Justin leaned to speak at a lower tone, "I hear some of the lasses don't mind that." That out to cheer up his new friend, yeah?

Leo was at his best trying to figure out how Cassie would react to him coming home to her in a new hair style like the long hair one. She'd probably laugh and check if he was getting sick. He was interrupted in his thoughts by the words that came out of Justin's mouth next. He blinked twice before he exclaimed excitedly "We're going to be colleagues, I work at Hogwarts as its School Librarian among other responsibilities, has done so for many years." More years than he cared to count. Hogwarts was a second home to him. "So groundskeeper? You'll be taking over after a friendly Scottish chap that I assume resigned after the big spider invasion we had during the year." Leo had no intention of scaring Justin but he thought he should know what he was getting himself into. "The students are all lovely though. In what house where you sorted into when you went to Hogwarts?"

Pulling a hand through his unruly dark curls Leo smiled "Thanks, it's just tradition in my family for the men to lose most of their hair when they get middle-aged. I'd like to not join that group if I can help it." Shaking his head he added with a laugh. "I just need one lass to like my hair or lack their off, my girlfriends."

How about that, of all places for Justin to find one of his fellow colleagues, "No kidding?" Grinning again, "I guess I won't have a reason to turn any books I borrow late anymore." Softly slugging his arm. He was a good guy he decided. "Oh, those nasty Acromantulas? Yeah, I heard they unsuccessfully tried to take over the entire school." Luckily they didn't. So what house was lucky to be his home? "Slytherin, Class of 2067. How about you?"

"Who knows, maybe you'll break the tradition." Justin so far had no clue how old the man was, "Yeah? So whose the lucky lady?" It was good to know who not to mess his time with. Hehe.

Ever since she'd been cast in MASC's production of Les Mis, Cordelia had been basking in the glow of the spotlight that had been shining on her and enjoying every minute of it. This is what she'd always wanted and the brunette was committed to keeping the momentum going with her career which meant networking and publicity. With this in mind, she'd gladly accepted an invitation to a charity event taking place over the weekend, one that required she was looking her best. No better place to help with that than Primpernelle's, yes? They were so very welcome for her business.

Taking a seat in one of the parlour chairs and picking up a magazine, the actress flipped through thoughtfully. Maybe some highlights around her face? Maybe.

Things were so much easier now that she’d reconnected with Vladimir. It wasn’t like things had changed, but she had one more person who could watch Stasya if she had things to do. Today, Bryn had things to do. Namely, the charity event that was happening later that night. She still felt awkward in social situations simply because of feeling alone for so long, but she had to represent the Talons. Press would be there, and no matter how busy she’d been between her daughter and practice, she was expected to make an appearance. All that meant was finding something to wear, and possibly a bit of a makeover.

Her only request was that it was something she didn’t have to do too much to maintain. Whenever anyone came to take her request, but even then she knew she wasn’t going to have a clear idea of what she wanted. Help was definitely needed, and she found herself approaching a dark-haired woman once she’d arrived at Primpernelle’s. Taking a seat next to her, she glanced over once again. The woman seemed vaguely familiar, yet not through Gobstones. “Excuse me?,” she said, hoping the interruption wouldn’t be taken badly.

"You're excused, Gorgeous." Cordelia peeked at the woman from behind the magazine and then lowered it to reveal her face, smiling. "What can I help you with?" If it was an autograph, C was more than happy to oblige. She had been perfecting her signature and just recently managed one she was satisfied with. Managing to exude star quality with just a signature was hard work but she'd done it.

The sentence that had followed her excuse only surprised Bryn. That wasn’t something she had been called very often, especially when she hadn’t even thought the other woman had seen her. She honestly couldn’t recall that being said of her ever, or at least not lately. People generally approached her for Gobstones reasons, not her appearance. Not that the other woman had approached her, since it was rather the opposite.

As the magazine was lowered, the feeling of familiarity only grew stronger, yet she still couldn’t quite decide exactly why that was. She wasn’t a fellow Gobstones player. That was the only thing she was sure of. “Oh, I was just at a bit of a loss as to what I wanted to get done. I have an event I’m going to, yet I wouldn’t like to change too much. I don’t have a lot of time to maintain anything difficult,” she replied, feeling a bit like she was rambling. That and the feeling the other woman had expected a different answer, yet that was all she could give.

Ah, so she wanted her expert opinion. Cordelia could hardly blame the woman, she did always look so well put together. With a smirk in place, the brunette considered the gobstones player thoughtfully. "The event wouldn't happen to be that charity thing tonight by any chance, would it?" If so, they'd both be in attendance. "Also, fringe would suit your face and it wouldn't be hard to maintain at all."

The smirk only made Bryn wonder if she ought to have bothered to ask. There was every possibility that it meant she wouldn’t get an honest answer, after all. She knew that quite well, from her years at Durmstrang if not since then. Some people liked to take advantage of situations. She knew she had that in her, but she preferred not to. “As a matter of fact, it is,” she replied, taking that to mean the woman wouldn’t try and deceive her. Hopefully. She still hadn’t quite decided what to make of the earlier statement made about her.

“Hmm. Perhaps I’ll consider that.” She hadn’t had fringe for years now, and she hardly believed that it couldn’t be high maintenance depending on the type. It was definitely a possibility, though. “I’m Brynja Dalgaard, by the way,” she added, just out of politeness. She still hadn’t quite figured out why the other woman seemed familiar, after all, so introductions might help.

With Hayley and Gracie finally graduated from Hogwarts, Chloe had been hoping to be back to hanging out with them like normal ... Before Hogwarts. However as it turned out, now that she was an "adult" with real responsibilities, making time was more difficult than ever. There was a reason adults were always scrambling for time... Finally though, Chloe had booked a spa day for herself and Hayley. Her treat, because she'd been making her own money for a year now and Hayley was still a student... So it was a bit of one year present in the workforce.

The redhead flipped through some magazines trying to determine what she might try with her locks, if anything. Truth be told, she was more anxious about a mani and pedi and massages, then hair styling.

All she needed now was Hayls to show up. She just hoped she didn't forget about their "date".

It wasn't often that Grace actually came into Primpernelle's. She didn't feel the need for that many beauty products, and she often just borrowed from her mother. But since the engagement, she had figured that she wanted to try and few things out, so she knew what she would want for the wedding. So that was where she was heading today.

She smiled, as she pushed the door open to the shop, and walked in. As she was heading in, she spotted a familiar face though, and made a little detour. "Chloe!" The brunette smile, before heading in her direction. "Hey!"
