132: The purest craftsmanship
...Before long, the car stopped right in front of the "Phantom Styling" Art Salon.
Tony was the first to get out of the car, open the door, and make a "please enter" gesture.
As soon as Lei Jun got out of the car, she was warmly welcomed inside by the staff.
Tony led her directly to the VIP room on the second floor.
"My dear, please sit down first." Tony helped Lei Jun sit on a comfortable massage chair, then turned and retrieved a delicate silver toolkit from the cabinet. He opened the box, revealing various hair-washing tools neatly arranged inside, each one gleaming silver.
"I will personally wash your hair today. I don't trust anyone else."
Lei Jun: "You don't need to trouble yourself, right? Just let a staff member do it."
"Absolutely not!" Tony immediately retorted. "Your hair is so precious; nobody is qualified to touch it except for me."
"Others' techniques are too rough and will damage your strands. To me, every single strand of your hair is a work of art. Anyone touching it is a desecration, and I will be angry."
As he spoke, he picked up a bottle of transparent shampoo that looked exceptionally high-end.
Then he began his introduction.
"This is the 'Moonlight Series' shampoo and conditioner that I exclusively customized through special channels with an ancient laboratory in Switzerland."
"The price of one set is comparable to a top-tier luxury handbag."
"Furthermore, this shampoo contains precious Edelweiss extract from the Alps and nano-level repair factors. Its core function is extremely gentle cleansing power, while also deeply repairing the hair cuticle, replenishing lost protein and moisture, and carrying an extremely faint, almost imperceptible, cool fragrance."
Then, he guided Lei Jun to recline slightly on a custom-made shampoo chair that was ergonomically designed and covered in premium soft leather.
After adjusting the angle to the most comfortable position, he first reverently and gently used his fingertips to comb out her silver hair, as if unfurling a piece of the most precious silk.
Lei Jun gradually relaxed.
He took an appropriate amount of shampoo, lathered it richly in his palms, and then gently massaged Lei Jun's scalp with his fingertips.
His strength was perfectly controlled; it neither hurt Lei Jun nor failed to thoroughly cleanse the scalp.
"I am using the 'Spiral Massage Technique.' This method promotes blood circulation in the scalp and stimulates hair follicles, allowing the hair to grow healthier."
Tony explained while massaging.
"Feel it, isn't it comfortable? It took me ten years to master this technique; I don't use it on ordinary clients."
Lei Jun closed her eyes, enjoying Tony's massage.
She could feel the fingers gently rotating on her scalp, bringing a tingling, numbing sensation. The fatigue from military training seemed to dissipate at this moment.
Not bad.
Tony's technique truly lived up to its reputation. No wonder so many celebrities sought him out for styling.
Tony massaged for about ten minutes before rinsing the shampoo clean with water.
He then took an appropriate amount of conditioner, applied it evenly to the ends of Lei Jun's hair, and gently combed it with his fingers.
"This conditioner contains Moroccan argan oil, which repairs split ends and makes the hair smoother."
As he spoke, he picked up a silver comb and gently brushed Lei Jun's hair.
The comb slid through the strands without the slightest snag, and her previously frizzy hair instantly became smooth.
Lei Ying sat on the nearby sofa, watching Tony meticulously care for Lei Jun's hair, and couldn't help but find it slightly amusing.
This Teacher Tony was truly obsessed with Miss's hair, but seeing how comfortable Miss looked, she felt relieved.
She knew that Tony genuinely treated Miss's hair as a piece of art to be cherished. With him here, Miss's hair would definitely return to its former state.
After Tony rinsed the conditioner clean with water, he gently absorbed the moisture from Lei Jun's hair with a towel.
He picked up a bottle of essential oil, rubbed it between his palms until warm, and then gently applied it to Lei Jun's hair. "This essential oil is Moroccan Royal Essential Oil. It locks in moisture and makes the hair more lustrous."
As he spoke, he gently ran his fingers through Lei Jun's hair, ensuring the oil was evenly distributed on every strand. Only after completing all this did Tony smile contentedly.
He helped Lei Jun sit up and handed her a mirror: "My dear, take a look. Isn't it much better already? The effect will be even better after we use the repair device for a deep treatment later."
Lei Jun looked at herself in the mirror. Her silver hair was indeed much smoother than before, and its luster had significantly improved.
She smiled at Tony: "Thank you, Tony. You worked hard."
Tony waved his hand, a proud smile on his face: "It is my honor to serve you. After we finish with the repair device, I will design a new hairstyle for you that is guaranteed to stun everyone."
As he spoke, he began bustling about again, preparing for the upcoming deep treatment session.
Lei Jun watched his busy figure and nodded repeatedly.
This seemingly exaggerated stylist actually possessed the purest craftsmanship.
People like this were rare... The repair device emitted a slight humming sound as it operated. Tony stood guard, adjusting the temperature and occasionally touching the hair to check its warmth, afraid of burning it.
Lei Jun sat in the chair, bored, scrolling through information about the comic convention, planning to go immediately after her hair was done to finish the photo session quickly.
After about half an hour, the repair device stopped. Tony turned off the machine and picked up a comb to brush her hair.
"Now we can do the styling. I plan to give you a 'Soft Mist Layered Low Ponytail,' leaving two strands of wispy hair in the front and adding some layers to the back. This makes your face look smaller, isn't too rigid, and highlights the texture of your silver hair."
He sectioned the hair with the comb as he spoke.
"See, the wispy strands in the front should fall slightly below the cheekbones. This modifies the jawline and covers the temples a bit, making your face look more delicate."
"The hair at the back will be layered starting from behind the ears, cutting 0.5 centimeters of layering for each section. This gives the ponytail volume and prevents it from sticking flat against the scalp."
"Your silver hair is already bright, and with layers, the light hitting it will create a gradient effect, which looks especially beautiful."
Lei Jun felt somewhat drowsy listening to his detailed explanation.
She had never cared much about the details of her hairstyle; in any case, Tony's taste wouldn't be bad.
She yawned and casually replied, "Just do whatever you think is best. I trust you."
Tony shook his head helplessly.
This girl, why is she so indifferent about her own hairstyle?
Such beautiful silver hair, paired with a carefully designed hairstyle, would double the effect!
He felt a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Lei Jun genuinely seemed uninterested in these matters.
But he still didn't give up. He continued speaking while cutting her hair: "Don't treat this lightly; this hairstyle is truly perfect for you."
