Chapter 965: Chapter 392: The Handsome Stranger
After leaving the LV store, Han Lie was taken by Tang Xintian to the office floor above Plaza 66.
Low zone, 11th floor, a few turns out the door brought them to a styling studio.
A beauty salon located in an office building was truly novel to Han Lie.
In his past life, he had no need for such things, so he never engaged with them.
Now, he has everything, but not enough time to waste outside.
A sweet-smiling young lady led him and Tang Xintian inside, soon greeting a Tony stylist with a high ponytail.
"Miss Tang, long time no see."
Tang Xintian nodded and pointed at Han Lie: "I made an appointment with Sister Yan, so I’ll leave my brother in your hands, please take care of him."
"Alright."
The Tony stylist smiled kindly, looking at Han Lie: "How should I address you, sir? I’m Tony Erie, the artistic design director of this store."
Well, he really is a Tony...
Han Lie found it amusing and began communicating with him.
"Your hair texture is perfectly balanced and glossy, very healthy, that’s rare. How do you maintain it?"
It’s like having a cheat code...
Han Lie had never paid much attention to his hair before, but Tony’s question made him realize the difference from his past life.
Constitution naturally affects hair quality, along with health attributes, Han Lie’s hair has reached a shampoo advertisement level just with a casual wash.
But he couldn’t explain it sincerely.
So Dog Lie shamelessly made a joke: "Early to bed, early to rise, avoid late nights, stay away from women, and exercise more."
Tony Erie immediately held him in high regard.
"Hair is the excess of blood, and blood is the root of hair. Mr. Han’s approach is indeed the best method for hair care, more effective than any high-tech. However, young people rarely show such self-control, you are truly remarkable!"
"It’s alright, it’s no big deal."
Brother Lie appeared gentlemanly and modest.
Inside a partitioned area, Sister Yan and Tang Xintian, who were conversing simply, overheard their dialogue. Sister Yan gossipingly asked, "Xintian, isn’t that little Han your boyfriend? It’s the first time I’ve seen you bring a man..."
Tang Xintian’s mouth twitched, she wearily replied, "Just a brother I’m really close with."
Don’t ask!
I’m missing something crucial, I’m not worthy!
Next door, Han Lie’s conversation with the Tony stylist was going very smoothly.
"Short hair, please. I want a hairstyle that’s not too flashy but still lively."
A very vague and amateurish description, but Tony Erie instantly understood.
"Mr. Han, your facial features are perfectly proportioned, you can reveal your forehead, no need for bangs to shape your face, short hair suits you very well.
Considering your hair is thick and resilient, yet not particularly hard, how about this: I’ll trim the sides short, leaving 3 to 4 centimeters of tousled hair on top.
When needed, you can gently style it with wax for a nice look.
Otherwise, just towel dry it after washing, and you’ll have a neat and refreshing tousled look.
You can take a look at the approximate effect."
Tony showed Han Lie sample images on an iPad, the hairstyle indeed looked refreshing, not as greasy as slicked-back hair.
Of course, greasiness depends on age.
A 40-year-old man in formal occasions suits slicked or side-parted hair well, but a 20-year-old doing it would seem flamboyant.
So Han Lie had no objections.
An hour later, after having his hair washed again, Han Lie sat back in the chair, Tony Erie used hairspray to finalize the style.
Han Lie looked at himself in the mirror, feeling very satisfied.
Tony Erie’s skills were impressive, even for someone from 2025, he felt the current hairstyle perfectly suited his facial shape.
"It’s your first time here, so it took a bit longer."
Tony Erie cheerfully wooed business: "Come once a week, it’ll only take about 10 minutes to maintain, and you won’t need to spend time managing it daily."
Brother Lie was very satisfied, reaching for his wallet.
"How much is it?"
"Our place uses a membership card system, no cash accepted..."
Tang Xintian suddenly shouted from next door: "I have a card, don’t worry about it!"
Han Lie continued pulling out a card: "Then let me get a membership, how is it charged? Do you have any other services?"
It turns out for men there were only facial care and overall styling design, while women had services like full-body skin cleansing, beauty treatment, spa care, and makeup.
It seems this place doesn’t really earn money from men...
Two hours later, the rushed Tang Xintian was also freshly styled.
Han Lie looked up, his eyes widened.
After all that, it turned out to be just shoulder-length straight hair with bangs!
The forehead neatly covered like a lid, hiding her eyebrows, big eyes shining brightly, lips red as blood, hair as black as ink, paired with her pink sack...
Hey, you know what, it really creates a perfect blend of innocence and rebellion!
Adding a sense of distance, yet making people feel she’s hard to approach.
She gathered all the gentle, kind business smiles she usually wore at work, leaving only her strong true self, cold, exquisite, but without any fragility, rather steadily lofty.
With that look, she definitely wouldn’t be easily approached by men on a busy street.
Instead, those princely types who usually don’t make advances, supremely confident in themselves, might get intrigued.
"Great job!"
Han Lie gave her a thumbs up, sincerely praising.
The beauty wasn’t in the face, but in the elevated and breakthrough aura.
