Pretty In Pink!!

The Only Way Is Beauty!

I woke up to go to my beautiful salon, it was my day to open up. I brushed through my long red curly hair and backcombed the top so it added volume. Hair done! Now for makeup...I opened my makeup case and thought to myself 'hmm which first?' i decided to do my eyelashes first, so i picked out my mascara to make my green eyes stand out, i put my red lipstick on,eyeliner,foundation, well.. the whole lot really. I had to keep quiet because the girls were still asleep. I looked through my wardrobe, contemplating on what to wear. I picked up a black blouse with studs on the collar. I love studs, I'm not a rocker or anything. But every outfit has to have something to make it look less plain doesn't it? I put on the blouse and found some blue skinny jeans to put on. I grabbed my bag and put my boots on,with only 5 minutes left. I had to rush. My phone then rang..

'My heart stops when you look at me,

Just one touch,now baby i believe!

This is real!so take a chance and don't ever look back, don't ever look back!'

Crap!!! It isn't on silent, it might wake the girls. I hopped over my straighteners and my pile of clothes on the floor and grabbed it. Grrr ignore! It was my aunt Michelle, no thank-you i don't want to speak to you. You left me in care, i will leave you now! I shoved my phone into my bag, grabbed my keys and left locking the door behind me.

I'm in such a good mood today and i don't even know why? I came out of the apartment, and put my earphones in whilst listening to my music through my headphones. Scrolling up and down my list of songs hmmm.. Taylor Swift, The Wanted, Justin Bieber,Nicki Minaj. I know..Rhianna! I love this song! I carried on listening to my Rhianna play-list until i got to work. There it is! My beautiful shop. I thought as i looked up at the pink fancy writing above me saying "The only way is beauty" I still cant believe that it is happening. I unlocked the door and turned the closed sign to open. I put the radio on, of course i put it on capital. I checked in the appointment book at what we had today woah pretty packed.

8:00 - Mrs. Bradley

8:30 - Roxanne Stephens

9:00 - Bernadette Cash-more

9:30 - Mrs.Thompson

The list goes on until half 5 tonight! Wow I'm packed today, its 7:50 and the girls should be here in any minute now. I made myself a cup of tea and started setting out the towels ready for the long day i've got ahead of me. I heard some laughing then in came my friends Jessie&Chloe. Jessie was wearing a purple jumper and black jeans, she was wearing her black converse.Her shoulder length black hair was tied up in a bun. Chloe was wearing a pink floral dress which stopped just above her tanned knees. Her blonde hair was straightend with her fringe pushed back by a bow clip. She was wearing little pink dolly shoes, none of them had makeup on and i didn't understand..

"Morning, natural day today?" I asked in disbelief because theyre normally covered in it.

"Cheeky, in-fact we where running late so were going to put it on now!" Chloe said slapping my arm as they both wondered over to the mirrors applying there makeup. 

"Well, be quick. We have a busy day today! I said as Mrs Bradley walked through the door.

She hung her coat up and sat down next to Chloe and Jessie. The shops going great so far, were all earning around 200 pounds a week.  I was doing Mrs Bradleys hair, whilst Jessie was making her tea, Chloe was still in the mirror adding more makeup to her face. Today was Saturday and we planned to go to Starbucks on our break. But we had so much to do that it didn't look like we was going. The shop was going really well but we was left with so much work to do each day we are supposed to finish at 6 but we never got out till half past, even though our last customer was at half 5 we always had to clean up and set up for the next day. Sometimes the customer wouldn't get out till 6 itself so we had to stay behind even longer. One of these days we are going to need another staff member, were not getting enough sleep or anything because of the shop.

When mrs bradley had left and Roxanne Stephens was getting her hair dryed whilst reading a magazine i asked for the girls to come with me to the till. We walked over to the start of the shop and i had to suggest it. 

"Girls,don't you think that we could do with another-" i was interrupted by Chloe running over to the window yelling.

"Its snowing! Its snowing! How pretty, can you see it? look.. Its snowing! How magical" She ranted on for a while talking about snow and Jessie ran over to her shaking her a little saying.

"Chloe! Reality check. Get a grip of yourself!!! Its snow and your 21 years old." Jessie grabbed Chloe by her hand and dragged her to the till. 

"You where saying?" she said trying to stop Chloe from running off to the window again.

"Another staff member, you know.. for the salon. We are hardly getting any free time are we? Maybe another worker means we get more free time" I explained to her.

Chloe wondered off getting jobs done, she finished off Roxanne and she was getting started on Bernadette while me and Jessie were talking."Actually Lucy,that's a really good idea.But we need more money not less, with another person who will need money as-well. We will be getting less money, which means we will have to work more." Jessie explained to me.

I stood there thinking to myself a minuite then i said "But Jessie, We can get more customers, this will work. I promise". 

We both looked over to see how Chloe was doing and a sudden rush of guilt brushed past us. Chloe had finished Roxanne,Bernadette and was just starting on Mrs Thompson. Jessie said "We can speak at Starbucks on our break, which we are now going to have because of how fast Chloe had been". She said to me whilst running to Chloe and taking over because she didn't want her to be taken advantage of again. Its our job too, she should be doing it seems as i done some of our customers' hair this morning.

I put Mrs Thompsons money through the till and grabbed my Fur Jacket off the stand and put it on. I looked out in the snow and sighed because it looked so cold.  I checked myself out in the mirror to see if my hair was okay. Mrs Thompson was leaving as i handed the girls there coats. 

"See you soon ,thanks bye!" I shouted after her.

I grabbed my bag and took the keys off the till. I brushed myself down and walked over to the door, the girls where following me. We walked out of the door and locking it, leaving a notice up telling people that we were on our break. We crossed the road and headed to Starbucks, when we entered I immediately could smell the ginger bread cookies mixed with the smell of strong coffee.

"So girls what would you like? I'm paying..." I asked.
