My dear Maggie, These first days at the parlour have been fascinating. So many people came, from so many horizons, can you believe that ? Now let me tell you about a wonderful customer I met the other day. It was about 7 o'clock when I heard the door bell... Good evening ! Welcome, please come in. You are here for a new beard style, correct ? Lovely. Please have a seat, I will take care of you. Alright, let me have a look at you. What a healhy beard you have, it is quite obvious you take good care of it. There are many styles we could fit, do you have an idea already ? Before we start I'm going to have a close look at your skin and comb your beard so I can clearly see if it's as healthy as it looks or if there is any skin care needed. Alright ? Lovely. Alright. Here we go. On the other side... Alright... It is perfect on this side, and on the other... Perfect. Good. Alright so now let's have a look at the beard styles that could please you. Let's see... Beard styles... beards... I don't have a lot of pictures yet but most of the fashionable styles would definitely be fit for your face type. And since you have a pretty long beard we could create a very refined mustache from it just like this, and keep a classic and quite short style for the rest of the beard. Like this example or this one here. What do you think about this ? Or would you rather go for this kind of luxuriant style ? No ? So that's decided then ? So before I start I'm going to apply a warm towel on your face, just to warm you skin and get it ready for the shave. This will help you to relax as well. Lovely. So, first of all, a dry towel on your shoulders. Here we go. Good. And here we go. Good. Alright let me take it off. How does it feel ? Lovely. So now I'm going to use scissors and cut the part of the beard we won't need so the shave will be easier. Are you ready ? Perfect. Here we go. Good. On the other side. Good. Now I will start the shave using clippers to get the general shape of the style you chose. Alright ? So please hold still. And here we go. Good. How does it feel ? Lovely. Perfect. Lovely. Let me prepare the shaving cream. Alright. Let me apply the cream. And here we go. On the chin. And... That's good. Are you ready ? Hold still. Good... The neck... Good. Almost done. Alright. Let me remove the leftover cream. Lovely. Now I'm going to apply some beard balm that will relieve the razor burn sensation and that will leave your skin very soft too. Alright ? Here we go. This lotion contains beeswax, aloe vera, camellia seed oil and castor oil. You can use it for the beard or simply for the skin. In the neck... Lovely. Now it is time for the final touch. I'm going to make your mustache pointy on each tip with a few other snips. So please hold still. On the other side. Lovely. How do you like it ? Yes it is the latest fashion in Paris all of your friends will admire it. Send them to me. Here is my card. Have a great nigh, goodbye.
