Simply Stylish Salon sits directly across the street from Honeydukes, bright and shining with a variety of different colours. 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 neon 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 colours and new assortment of flowing shapes, most notable of them all being the 'swirl', take your attention. A plush waiting area holds comfortable couches and a clear glass table that sits upon a fluffy rug that feels more like a cloud than anything. Hair styling magazines lay on the tables as oddly shaped shelves of products the store sells line the walls.

Today's trip to this tonsorial sanctuary is far from a trivial pursuit. Oh no, it is one of sheer necessity.
The Head Boy pushed open the door as awesome Wrock music welcomed him in, and instinctively, he shifted his gaze towards those large mirrors and scoped out his reflection. Scruffy looking Nerfherder he sure was not.
And thats the whole problem. His scruff was pathetic.
His father could grow a full beard in about three days. He had peers who starts showing the five o'clock shadow well before then. Younger students were growing whiskers pretty much like how his looks like now and usually does it better. Heck his kneazle has whiskers far better than his.
He needs help stat. Now where be this holy grail of facial fuzz?
Yeah thats what crazy is, when its broken you say theres nothing to fix++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++And you pray that everything will be okay, while you're making all the same mistakes

Typically, Ronan preferred muggle hair supplies. Less chance of brewing accidents or irregularities causing problems with the hair. But, he had, on a whim, decided that he wanted some colored stripes in his. It wasn't practical to owl anyone in his family to send him the dye, as word would get back to his mum, who would then start owling him questions. That was something he wanted to avoid for reasons. So, here he was, in his Halloween costume to boot.
Obviously, there was an unintentional theme going in Gryffindor house. "Solo," he said, spotting the head boy.

He had just turned away from the mirror when he saw another customer walk through the door. And then his name-- because he is the character for the day-- called out, which brought his best Han Solo smirk out of him. "Well if it isnt the Chosen One" he nodded his head as he hitched his hand on his belt and did that characteristic slouchy-lean the Corellian space pirate was known for. "What brings you around these parts Skywalker?"

Monte had been caaaaarefully slicking back his fringe, when the bell rang to announce the arrival of customers. After checking he looked 100% fabulous dahling, he made his way to the front of the shop to see the two boys.
"Well, hello hello, my dahlings! Do help yourself to candy." He theatrically gestured to the bowl of neon colored Halloween themed treats on the front desk. Twas the day, was it not? "What can I do for you?"
In the meanwhile, he gave them a both a good looking over. Of course, it was hard to tell in costume...but they both seemed so lucklustre...so mundane. He sure hoped he could rectify these travesties to the world of beautiful hair!

He turned quickly at the sound of the new voice-- quite difficult to miss given the energy levels on this fellow. It was nice to see him all pretty'd up and not looking like a drowned rat "Hey Mister Monte!-- oh yes dont mind if I do--" he greeted the man and then reached out for one of those offered treats. "-- Sir I need some help..." he murmured as he scratched the barely discernible week-old fuzz poking around his mouth and chin "Someone told me you got some kind of beard tonic?"

He smiled as he caught sight of his reflection in the mirror, before turning back to his customer. "Yes of course, my dear fellow," he said, sweeping his hand with a flourish to one side and gesturing for the boy to take to one of the styling chairs. "I do indeed have a beard tonic. What sort of facial hair are you after? A flowing luxurious beard? A magnificent moustache?"

Did Monte just.... smile at his own reflection in passing?
.... Is that how he looks like when he does that? He felt all hilarious and self-conscious at the same time. Profound life lessons on one's own unconscious habit wasnt something he expected to receive today, at the salon of all places.
But right onto the task at hand. Ace plopped himself on one of the chairs, and upon Monte's question, instinctively looked at the mirror-- and oh! Was that almost a grin? Gah-- "Oh man a flowing luxurious beard, that would be something...." he murmured dreamily as he stroked his cheeks with his fingers. Finally he shook his head, such daydreaming sheesh "Well.... I just need better scruff-- at least for today." Pause "But yeah... if you got something where I could have a full beard? Like my dad can grow a full beard within three days-- you think I can do that? I got the genes for it.... oh wait! Would I even look good in a full beard?" Looooooking at his reflection again....

A scruff...a scruff? What sort of travesty was this? Monte took a few deep breaths, his hand daintily placed across his chest, as he reminded himself that today, Halloween, was an exception. He'd never usually let something described as 'scruff' out of his beautiful salon. Just the thought was making him feel light-headed!
But full beard? Yes, he could certainly do that.
"Of course we have a tonic that will grow the finest full beard you ever did see!" He leant over to peruse the bottles in the display case nearby. "Just a few drops will do it. Would you like a demonstration to see? We can always then trim it back for the, er...scruff...you desire."

Being small had many advantages. One being that it was super easy to slip away unnoticed. Rylee made her way through the crowd of adults and students alike without any trouble, with a sense of purpose. Her stride was calm and sure lacking any excitement that the young girl usually carried. With a steady gaze she came to a stop in front of the overly colorful shop.
Pulling the paint can from her bag she went about adding a new shape onto the outside of the shop. This one red.
Swishy-swish. One painted line meeting another. Dip dip. Swish went the brush again adding the final brush strokes the paint dripping slightly from the large newly painted hawk.
Dip went the brush back into the paint.

Oh oh oh so there it is, the holy grail of facial fuzz. And a demo? Well no way is he gonna turn that down now "Yes please!" he replied all beamy and eagerly. If there only be one day in his whole life that he could have a full face of hair that he could brag to his dad about, now's the chance right?

From the corner of his eye there was movement, and out of reflex he shifted his gaze towards it momentarily. Given that it was Halloween and Hogsmeade was typically busier than usual he didnt give a second thought to anyone standing in front of the shop-- until he saw that the front was being painted on.
Halloween prank? Overly-industrious contractor? He might've thought the latter had he not vaguely recognized who was painting "Err Mister Monte...I didnt know you're remodeling today?" Not giving away his ickle cubbie's name in case she was doing some kind of prank. This wasnt the place to give her The Talk™.

Finding the bottle of beard tonic he was after, Monte clapped his hands together excitedly at the boy's eager reply. "Yes yes yes!" he responded with a smile, shaking out a salon cape with a flourish before laying it over Tenacius' shoulders and fastening it around behind the neck. Nothing too messy would be going on, but whatever the beard length the boy decided on, there would no doubt be some stray hairs to be trimmed.
"Now you only need a drop or two, depending on the desired length." He came round the side of the chair to show how much he meant. "Just rub it between your hands gently, before stroking it over your chin liiiike..."
Like what though, he didn't finish...as right then was when Tenacius had turned towards the window. "Remodelling?" Monte repeated, confused. No, his salon was quite perfect how it was. Following the Gryffindor's gaze, however, suggested that a Hogwarts student didn't agree. AND they'd opted for such an atrocious shade of red too. "No my dear boy. They're ruining it!" His voice wobbled, becoming higher in pitch at the thought of why someone would do that. "RUINING my beautiful shop! How dare they!"
With that, he ran over to the door, waving a hand in front of his face as if trying desperately and dramatically to cool a fever. "Shoo! SHOO! I'll be telling your headmistress about this!"
