She grinned and moved with her to the door, knowing Ella was in the back for the customers. "I'll be back Ella, going to lunch." she called. |
Primpernelles beauty shop was probably one of those places that most wizards avoided and still Yoongi was found opening the door of the shop and grabbing a small piece of paper from his jeans pocket. He had already written down the things he needed before deciding to come to this shop. After walking around and grabbing his items here and there, Yoongi turned towards the counter to pay. He placed everything which were Temporary Extreme Hair Dyes Neon Red, Skin Cleanser, Black Head Removal and Body mist Vanilla on the surface and smiled. “These please also, is there only a lip balm making kit or do you have a few without having to make them?” He needed lip balm more than anything. Chapped lips you see. Horrible. |

She glanced over the items he'd set on the counter, mentally adding up the total. "If you get one more bottle of the vanilla body mist, you'll get 2 for a galleon, rather than 14 sickles for one." she commented. Just as with the hair dyes he had. So far it looked like it'd be 2 galleons and 19 knuts, unless he wanted another body spray and also depended on how many lip balms he wanted, which were 4 sickles apiece or 3 for 10 sickles. |

As for the body mist, Yoongi thought again, this time not biting his lips and then nodded. “I think one extra bottle wouldn’t hurt” he said. “I can use that one to spray everyone else if they ….smell” he made a face. He hoped the students at Hogwarts have some sense to use mists because he would NOT want to sit in a dull classroom filled with ..especially guys… smelling like teenagers normally did. “Throw in a Sports Blast body mist , please” he eventually said, reaching for his wallet. |

"That will be 2 galleons, 12 sickles, and 19 knuts." she said adding it all up in her head a second time, having forgotten about the 8 sickles in her first mental math. |
Quote:
1 galleon...2 galleons..wait.... A slight frown appeared on his face as he counted the prices. Was in correct though? Was he missing money or did he have to pay more than the actual price. "Sorry but...is the price correct?" he needed to know because he obviously did not want to pay more than he had to and he would feel bad if he paid less. |

Zhenya made her way up to the counter, excitedly, and put her items on top, the Humidity Immunity Potion and the Heat Protection Potion. She pulled out her coin purse, realising she hadn't looked at the prices. Oh well, she thought, it wasn't every day she splurged on her hair. "Hello," she greeted the shopkeeper with a smile on her face. |
Following after Zhenya, Lux headed to the counter with her bottle of Not-So-Sleeping Beauty. This should be enough to deal with her raccoon eyes, though goodness knows she was probably exaggerating how bad her face looked right now. At any rate, soon she would be looking completely like her old self and that made her happy. She smiled at the shopkeeper. "Hi." |

...1 galleon, 2 Sickles, 1 Knut for the Humidity Immunity...1 Galleon 1 Knut for heat protection... Hmmm! Well...she looked a little young to be but... "Are you a dragonologist, or a student going into dragonology?" she asked kindly. |
Quote:
And then the lady was asking about dragonology. Zhenya frowned slightly and shook her head. "Nope. Just bad hair," she said. But did she mean that the products she wanted to buy were a little overkill for what she had intended to use them for? |
As the shopkeeper ran up Zhenya's total, Lux took her wallet out so that she could pay when it was her turn. She had to smile at the thought of her friend studying dragontology. That must be an exciting line of work, and the kind of thing that Kace wanted to do with his life. "Oh, I want a cut too if it's possible," she added as it was brought up. Surely it wouldn't be a problem to deal with split ends? Lux thought her hair was starting to look sad. |
Kitty approached the counter with a bag full of potions. "There are twenty Snow White Skin potions and five Rash Removals and Two Pimple Poofers in there," she told the store clerk earnestly. "It's not that I have rashes or pimples or anything like that, but I got them for Hogwarts just in case. I mean, you never know." She had been too lazy to see what the prices were, so she waited for the clerk to determine that for her. |

It was getting late and Kitty knew her mother would be annoyed if she was late to dinner again. Taking her bag off the counter, Kitty smiled at the nice lady and said "Well goodbye then. I love your hair, by the way." Then she turned to leave. |
Daisy made her way to the counter and placed her basket of items down. "Hello there. Do these come as a beauty package?" she asked as she gestured towards the basket which contained a Skin Cleanser, a Not-So-Sleeping Draught, Sunburn Unburn, Blackhead Removal and a Bruise Begone. |
When she finally let herself breathe again, it was a sigh of happiest contentment. Lexi slipped behind the counter and surveyed the shop...her shop. She had to suppress a sequel of delight. Even though the shop was empty right now. It was unprofessional, and Lexi was a professional. Or at least, trying to be. She gave it a week. Two shimmering white sugar gliders were frolicking and leaping about the shop, filling the place with warmth, and positivity and joy. Patronuses weren't just useful against dementors, you know? They were great at uplifting spirits and spreading positivity. Her shop though. Hers. She didn't even mind it being slow today. There was plenty of work to be done in the meanwhile. On her exorbitant to do list...sooooo long...was a complete overhaul of the products offered. She'd find out which didn't sell and which could be improved upon, and what could be offered but wasn't in the inventory yet. And that was just the start of it. Lexi O'Brien had big plans for her little shop. Possibly a complete rennovation at some point, but for now. Inventory. She reached into her purse, and pulled out the stack of suggestions cards she'd had made and set them up beside both registers. They were a way for customers to tell her what products or magical effects they'd likd to see offered. |
It was Lucy's least favorite time of the year. Christmas had passed and all that was left was the long, cold, stretch until spring. After her husband's death, she had chosen to ignore Valentine's day. Needing a little boost to her spirits, she decided to pay a visit to one of the sweetest shopkeepers she knew. Stepping out of the cold and into the shop, she quickly made her way over to the counter. "Lexi!" She greeted with a bright smile on her face. "How are you. It's been far too long." |
