Myst looked around inside the salon, and tentatively stepped inside, a black colt beside her wildly looking around. "Don't get any ideas," she quietly warned Flame.

((For the record, wandering between here and the Solar thread...I tend to have Amber do that. It's all one salon, after all. )) Amber's ears pricked up at the sound of the tinkling of the bell over the door. She spotted a young mare and...a small colt. What was with all the foals lately? Ah well - he had no-doubt been dragged here by his...mother? The mare looked young, but that had to be it. "Welcome! Are ya here for a hair style or a trim? Ooh darlin' you're hair's as pretty as a jar of glitter!" ((Oh yeah - did you want them to get PAARS, the deadly illness that's going around Ponyville? (Don't worry - ponies can get sick but get the antidote in time and not die, or just be Carriers and have the disease in their system to spread it to others but not be affected by it.) See, Breezie had it and they were in a thread with her, so it would make most sense for them to have it at least as carriers(I think Becka wanted it that way - if you're in a thread with an infected pony, you have to get it in your system somehow). If they have it, let me know so I can add "PAARS" to the end of the thread title, since that's what we're doing to show that the illness can/should be caught by ponies in that thread. I hope that made sense. ))

Following the other two, Angel stepped into the salon, tossing her long mane. She smiled sweetly at Amber. "Hello." She said. She noticed Myst talking to Flame. "Well, what hairstyles are you two going to get today?" She asked them.

((Oh, and I was going to have Angel be a Carrier of the PAARS disease. And as of now, Dazzle Surprise, Mainsail, and Baby Sea Spray are all affected with the disease, I'm not sure if Twinkle Twirl will get it, though. She hasn't yet.))

"Hello, darlin'!", Amber called over to Angel. "Do ya know what you're gonna have done today?" Now finally, there was someone that obviously took care of their hair. For the stylist, it was defintely a breath of fresh air.

The pegasus wondered on what hairstyle she wanted. She wanted something that would make her look "sexy". She then knew what she wanted. "Hmm.....crimpy hair would do." She said. "Or maybe curls..oh, I can't decide! Hmm...I say curls! But not tight curls, please! Just loose curls will do for me!"

Amber was grinning like an idiot inside. Oooh, the mare knew what she wanted too! Finally an ideal customer! She got out a comb and brush to start, and set the crimper and curler to heat up. "Sit right down, darlin'", she said, already starting to run the comb through Angel's mane.

The purple mare smiled happily and sat in the chair. She needed a new do, and was glad to finally get one.

Amber had the crimper ready to clamp down on a lock of Angel's hair when she paused and tilted her head. "Hmm...would ya like something more exotic, darlin'?" She pulled out a magazine and showed Angel some pictures of new haircuts. "There're some new ideas floatin' around Dream Valley, so if ya'd like one..." (( Make up a haircut ya like, darlin'! ))

((Hmm, I'm trying to think of something......... )) Angel looked at all the different hairstyles. She really liked them, and couldn't really choose. She really didn't want her hair cut short, since she liked it long, and she did want something involving curls in it, she saw one that she liked, one that didn't really involve any trimming/cutting. It was one with loose curls, but they were some kind of neat-looking curl, a wavy kind of curl, and Angel knew then that that one was perfect. She smiled and pointed to the one in the magazine she wanted.

Amber smiled at the choice, but longed to do some layering... "Maybe a forelock cut short, darlin'? Or..." She was struck by sudden inspiration and turned to a page and pointed out a picture where the cut was smooth and barely noticeable, but involved a skillful slanting of scissors when trimming to make the hair look more thick and "flouncy".
"How's that, darlin'?" The mare muttered to herself as she thought. "And then we could have a couple little seperate curls for the forelock, fallin' near the eyes..."

Angel smiled sweetly as she heard what Amber muttered. "Ahh, that sounds perfect..." She said, dreaming of how it would look on her. She began to get more excited. She was really glad she stopped by the salon, now!

After getting the forelock into curlers to get them out of the way(then she'd double back on them with crimpers, for an elegant semi-curly look), Amber picked up her special styling scissors, perfectly getting the correct tilt on the blades and beginning to take careful, precise snips at the ends of Angel's mane. It would take a while, but the stylist would never only put out half an effort. She stared in full-focus at each lock of mane, but managed to start up light conversation - it always kept her going better in the middle of an elaborate style.
"So, darlin' - is your hair color natural? It's lovely."

Nova galloped down the streets of ponyville exitedly. Her first hair style! Seeing the salon, she bolted to it and crashed through the door, screaming at the top of her lungs.
"AmberAmberAmberAmberAmbeeeeerrrr!!! GUESS WHAT AMBER!?!? GUESS WHAT?!?!"

((Oh dear...Nova threw off her concentration...))
It all happened so fast. Amber was lifting a large section of hair to trim, when her young employee came bounding into the salon. The country-girl was used to a serene, peaceful setting in her salon, and at the same time as she was making the cut she whirled around, startled, to face Nova. "What in tarnation-?"
The next noise that came to Amber's ears was a somewhat quiet, but at the same time horrible one. *snip* Flinching visibly and turning back around, the pink mare's eyes widened when she took in the damage she'd done. What had been a healthy lock of hair was now jagged and uneven, cut far shorter than she'd intended. Bringing her hooves up to her mouth to complete the look of horror that was now on her face, Amber dropped the scissors on the tiled floor and gasped.
"Oh no, darlin'...no..." The mare felt like she was going to cry. Hair grew back, but not too quickly. She'd failed - her first genuinely good customer, and she'd failed. "I'm...I'm so sorry..."
