Bright and shining with a variety of different colors, Simply Stylish Salon sits towards the entrance of Hogsmeade's street where all can see. The funky hair salon looks more to be built out of plastic than the usual wood and stone one would see down the street. Decked out with greens, blues, and oranges on the outside with a handful of fun decoration shapes such as stripes, triangles, and stars, this shop is anything but ordinary!
On the inside, you are immediately hit with wizard rock music playing through the shop as the yellows, reds, and orange colors and new assortment of flowing shapes, most notable of them all being the 'swirl', take your attention. A plush waiting area to the side holds comfortable couches and a clear glass table that sits upon a very fluffy rug that feels more like a cloud than anything. Hair styling magazines lay upon the tables as oddly shaped shelves of products the store sells line the walls.
Just before the styling stations is the receptionist desk, white and bizarrely shaped. The six styling stations themselves are both uniform and distinct in their own ways, each having a different shade of color as it's theme while the hair washing stations in the back are tranquil with blues and purples. Monte himself seems to blend into his surroundings as he is quite a colorful man, but never fear. Despite his unusual look, he is quite brilliant and talented at what he does!
OOC: Please, no RPing for the shopkeeper, and all SS Board and School Rules apply.

Valentine's Day weekend. All the kids seem to be excited to have a weekend out of the castle and Cassie couldn't be happier. She had an afternoon Valentine's date and then an evening one. Her first was with her best friend at the Salon. Nothing like having a relaxing day letting someone else do your hair. It was just going to be fabulous.
Walking into the shop she looked around. While here she would have to get some more of that wonderful watermelon smelling shampoo. It had become her favorite. "I'm going to let them do a cute style for my date later. I think I'll get it trimmed and then possibly have them just style it a little fancier." She looked at Nessa to see what she thought. "Are you going to be doing anything this evening?" She wasn't sure if Nessa had any plans or not.
The sixteen year old sat straight in his chair, his hand out to allow the witch giving him a manicure easy access to the working surface. He could've paid Ruby Banner to do this, but it was Valentine's Day and hell if he was going to take Whitty time.
As the witch went over his thumb with the buffer he hissed and drew back. Not for any real pain, but only to mess with her. The look on her face suggest that the 11th time wasn't the charm. She proceeded with her work and the boy waited for his friends to arrive.

Sure it was Valentines day, she didn't care though. It wasn't like she had a reason to really dress for the occasion. Not that she would. Really, if someone had had the stupidity to say she had to dress up she probably wouldn’t show. Or she’d show up in her messiest pair of swearpants and call an end to that whole situation.
But something about Cutty asking her to join him at the hair salon didn’t sound bad. Heck, she had had her Galentines celebration the night before why not go down and have her fingers painted black in protest to all the lovey dovy red disgusting relationshipness that was going on.
Sure, sure she had been on a double date but really. That wasn’t like some big life affirming thing. That was a girl being vulnerable and she wasn’t vulnerable. That was why she had asked Cutty to sit in the wings ready to save her as Alterna!Puck. And now, well, she owed him for the help.
“Hey Mordaunt,” she grinned as she walked over toward him and glanced down at her nail. “Would you think black polish would match the beautiful color of my soul?” She asked and fluttered her eyelashes like a dough eyed school girl just for the heck of it.

Valentine's Day weekend. All the kids seem to be excited to have a weekend out of the castle and Cassie couldn't be happier. She had an afternoon Valentine's date and then an evening one.

"Are you going to be doing anything this evening?" She wasn't sure if Nessa had any plans or not.
What Nessa wanted to do this Valentine's Day was to eat her weight in red velvet cupcakes, but a mani-pedi would do just as nicely. She tried to keep a pleasant smile on her face though maybe it was a teensy bit forced. She wasn't sure why she woke up in an off mood, but she was trying to get over it and hopefully her trip with Cassie to the salon would help.
"Oh, how lovely," she said lightly to Cassie about her plans as she found herself a seat next to one of her students at the nail station. "Hello, Cutty." She gave the boy a friendly smile and nodded at Puck noticing that she walked over as well, then kicked off her purple wedge boots. Getting the toes done first. Glancing up at Cassie, she shook her head. "No.. I don't think so." It was too bad that she couldn't take herself to see a show, she'd love to do something like that.

Caleb had no idea WHY Cutty wanted to meet him here. He had learned a while ago that asking Cutty what was going on often didn't get him an answer - or it made him more confused. He learned to just kind of go with it when it came to Cutty. That reminded him of his conversation with Evie...Cutty was kind of his FRIEND and stuff now, like officially. He wasn't sure when it had happened, but it had.
When he entered the salon, he saw that Cutty wasn't alone. He was also with Puck, which was odd, considering that the last time he recalled Cutty and Puck interacting, Cutty was pretending to BE Puck with polyjuice potion. So they were friends too? Even after that? Huh.
"Hey Cutty, hey Puck," he said with a smile as he sat down with them. "What's up?" he asked. Hopefully they would make this quick - he had to go buy a lot of candy, like a LOT, so he could try and lure Beans back to his dorm and finally be reunited with his pet. "You're not trying to get me to get a pedicure, are you?" he joked with a small chuckle.
Oh wait. No. They were TOTALLY trying to get him to get a pedicure, weren't they?! BOOOOOO.

As she took a seat in one of the salon chairs, she bit her lip at Nessa's response. She hated that her friend wasn't doing anything. She'd like to give that Harvey a good curse for not planning better. He couldn't be that busy with Quidditch that he couldn't even come to Hogsmeade to spend some time with her. HUMPH!!
As she described what she wanted with her hair and let the cute little worker get started, her eyes focused on Nessa in the nail chair and others that she didn't realize were there at first, "Hello everyone." Puck, Caleb, and Cutty were all around. She hoped they were having fun. "Happy Valentine's weekend!" She knew Valentine's Day was officially yesterday, but it was so much fun to celebrate all weekend.
Focus back to Nessa though she tried to figure out a way to make things a bit better. "We should go for a big piece of chocolate cake after this! That could be a entire lunch." Snapping at the thoughts Cassie giggled a bit, what maturity she had at times. Cake was very much needed in a time like this though.

Leaning back in her seat, Nessa closed her eyes and began to rid herself of any negativity as the salon attendant worker on her feet and started polishing her toes. She had picked out an indigo, her favorite color, for her toes. She wanted the same color to match on her fingers, of course, but she was going to have a little nail art added as well.
She opened her eyes and smiled over at Cassie as she spoke to her. She knew her best friend was trying to lift her spirits and Nessa was doing her best to not take out her mood on her. "Well, that does sound very tempting," she smiled a bit wider. "How can I say no to that?" Chocolate cake did have a way of making the world brighter, even if for a short time.

Cassie sat back as the stylist began to trim her hair. Her smile grew as Nessa said she was up for chocolate cake, "Wonderful! I think we should get scoops of ice cream on top of that too." Bad moods needed to be fed and she wouldn't say Nessa seemed to be in a bad mood, but she knew she was going through things. She'd like to have her own words with Harvey, but she knew she wasn't all that intimidating.
Looking over she squealed a bit. "OHMYGOD I love that color!! I think I might get that next!!" She could change her outfit around to match that color. She just loved it on Nessa. "What do you think or should I get a red?" She was trying to think of the dress she was going to wear during her date with Leo.
"Maybe we can stop by a dress shop, I'm starting to think I need a new dress for later." Now she had herself fully confused on what she wanted to wear.
Her jaw tightened slightly as she had a feeling that she had walked into a trap. A trap expertly placed by Cutty Mordaunt, turning her head she sent Caleb a breezy smile. “No if he’s trying to get you to get a pedicure that’s all him” Puck let her smile morph into more of a smirk. “But…who knows what he’s thinking it is Cutty heck I put it past him to give you a sleeping potion and have someone go town on your toes” she grinned.
“But I’m sure if he did that they’d be grotesquely pink because of all the effort involved.” She grinned again before turning her head just slightly so Cutty could see the slight looks he was giving him.
“Or that might be something I would do to someone?” She shrugged, and gave the Professors large smiles. “Hello to you as well – Happy Valentines weekend to you too!” She smiled at the two of them. “Oh speaking of valentines day, I have cards for the two of you,” she grinned as she placed Cutty’s near him just slightly out of reach for the whole, well everything. Walking over to Caleb she simply dangled a card in front of him.
“The card lies though…cause I would,” she grinned, “I’d trade anyone for one of those” she wasn’t always vocal about her feelings about it. “But, still, I saw it and thought about you….cause yeah, well it fits?” She nodded and smiled up at him.

"Maybe we can stop by a dress shop, I'm starting to think I need a new dress for later." Now she had herself fully confused on what she wanted to wear.
Now that her toes were finished being polished, she had her hands soaking in preparation for her manicure. Nessa spoke to the attendant about just what kind of nail art she could get done then turned to Cassie as she spoke. "Oh I think ice cream on top would be just perfect," she smiled. She had to hand it to Cassie for doing her best to lighten her mood. And she wouldn't think about calories today, not when she just wanted comfort food.
At Cassie's squeal, she grinned a bit. "Oh, you know it's my favorite.. Oh, really?" She turned a bit in her seat to look at Cassie. She knew that Cassie was one to not just have the same old, same old, but wasn't she planning on wearing that red dress that she showed her before they left? Nessa wasn't sure how well red and indigo went together.
Hm. She thought a moment. "Well, it depends. If you are going to wear red, you should probably get red nails, maybe even with something a little fancy on them." Like the diagonal stripe of glittery silver she was getting. "But if you weren't decided on what to wear.. then go with the indigo and we can look at dresses." She might want to buy something new just for herself there anyway.

She sat back as the stylist began to trim her hair and she thought about her date tonight. She wasn't sure where Leo was taking her, but she knew they both had a free evening and slipping away from the castle would be nice for at least a few hours. Maybe they could even stop by her house for a moment. She had been meaning to pick up a few pair of spring shoes since it was just around the corner. "I was hoping you would think so." If chocolate cake and ice cream couldn't cure something nothing could.
"I know, but I just adore it." Looking at her own fingers she thought about the color. Could she pull it off as well as Nessa did? She thought she might.
"Oh I know, I love the red dress and think it brings out the golden in my hair, but I do like that color and I am always up for shopping." She snapped as she thought about the fun that shopping could be. She thought for a moment, "Yes let's go with that color and shopping!"
