Chapter 745 - A New Age In Beauty
'Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!!'
Handgur waved and smiled gracefully at the enthusiastic audience.
"It's my honour to welcome everyone to my seminar: The Fix.
And at the end of the seminar, everyone will receive a gift bag containing some free products which will assist you on your journey to beauty.
Now... Today, we'll focus on hair and makeup.
And to assist me, will be the host, Mr. Jhongo..."
'Clap! Clap! Clap!'
"And finally, my team." Handgur said while gesturing towards the large red curtains.
The curtains opened up revealing what looked like a beauty salon with some workers in it.
The workers in pink uniforms bowed toward the audience excitedly.
They were students of Baymard's Beauty Academy which has been open for 2 years now.
That's where the barbers, hairdressers, makeup artists, stylists and whatnot go if they wanted to learn all the new tricks and gimmicks.
Be it learning about face shapes and what suited each person more or every other important thing involved when working on a client, all these could be learned in the academy.
The selected students who had been chosen to assist in this seminar were overly thrilled.
This would undoubtedly act as a strong experience on their resumes.
Plus they were working with Handgur for F***sake.
So how could they not be happy?
.
'Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!'
Handgur walked towards the 'salon' and sat on the chair patiently.
The seminar would take place like a play, with the host and himself narrating along.
'Dhang!'
The lights around the audience dimmed greatly, leaving only the stage shining brightly.
After all, they couldn't completely turn off the lights around the audience since some people would take notes.
The murmurs in the brief died down and everyone unconsciously sat up properly while focusing on the stage as if their life depended on it.
Very soft low classy music on, which was very soothing to the ears.
The music was low so that the narrator's voice wouldn't be overshadowed.
Soon, a young bright girl of 15~16 years old walked onto the stage and looked at the saloon as if thinking about something.
Of course, Host Jhongo began his work as a core narrator.
"Here we have, young Mildred, who's passing a beauty parlour, where intelligent classy women pretty themselves up.
This is no place for her, or is it?
Go on Mildred, you already look like this.
So what's the worst that could happen?"
As the narrator spoke, the girl acted as if she didn't want to go in, but in the end, she did.
The crowd giggled a bit at Jhongo's commentary.
The girl, A.K.A Mildred, almost broke her character too.
Mildred walked in and the saloon/parlour staff greeted her professionally and sat her down first.
.
"When you step into any beauty parlour in Baymard, the staff there will first do a little consultation with you.
Note that since this seminar is on hair and makeup, the staff is now getting Mildred's requests right.
Does she want a short hairdo? Is she looking for one of the fin summer hairdos in style?
All these need to be answered before they begin.
And as they work on her, they'll also give her advice as well.
Because it just so happened that they specialize in teaching women how to make the best of themselves.
As for Mildred, she looks as if she could do with a good square meal... as well as a wash and brush-up.
But what do I know?
Let's see what the experts have to say." Jhongo said playfully and the audience laughed again.
A good square meal?
Did she look like a starving person up there?
Hahhahhahhhah!
Jhongo, you are just too much!
Handgur coughed to disguise his laugh before inspecting Mildred's hair.
Of course, 2 Cameramen were also stationed near him too, to project the best shots possible.
Handgur spoke a bit about Mildred's hair and decided to trim the dead dried-up ends at the bottom, as well as what key points they should be focusing on.
From there, they had to focus on shampooing and conditioning the hair.
And whenever he fell into silence, Jhongo would come in for comic relief.
"Ahhh!
So that's what makes their hair clean and shiny?
Tsk!
You see Mildred, you just relax and they will make a gracious lady out of you yet.
It's all part of the deception that film stars and women go through daily, just to convince the world that they really are beautiful.
It truly is a hard, hard life for them."
"Bahhahaaahahahahah!"
Jhongo, Jhongo.
No wonder this guy's comic shows always sell out.
.
The show went on with everyone focusing on Mildred's hair.
And since Mildred wanted a soft glamorous wavy look, rollers were inserted in her hair before it was dried with a Salon-type hairdryer.
From there, they wrapped a towel over her hair and laid her on a long facial massage chair.
Of course, they had to spy makeup.
But before that, they need to cleanse her skin properly.
At this point, Handgur took the floor once again.
"Before any makeup, your skin must be thoroughly clean.
Look yourself in your looking glass, and you will see the you that you want to be.
Study yourself, and take note of all the areas that need more attention.
Your beauty is one that has been blessed from the heavens.
That's why there's no one in the world like you, so why try to look like someone else?
Why be a replica?
Your features are yours alone and should be highlighted.
That's why you need to give your skin all the attention it needs.
People often complain that even after that their skin looks dull and tired all year long.
But here's a simplified version of why that happens."
Immediately, the image on the projectors changed to an image that looked like a skin's dermis, epidermis and whatnot.
"This image is what is underneath your faces."
Everyone was both shocked and curious.
Could this be the secret to beauty?
They all perked their ears attentively.
"Ladies, your skin has thousands of pores like wells that run deep down into it.
And these tiny wells are constantly catching and holding dirt, grease, and soot from the air.
More importantly, internal waste like sweat leaves the body through these holes.
Additionally, the skin surface keeps shedding constantly because every day, a layer of fine new baby skin is created.
So the old skin must be removed.
And if that's not done, the skin will look dull and tired.
Leading to blackheads and pimples that will constantly break out too.
That's why regular cleaning in the right way is a must."
The audience's eyes lit up in surprise.
So that's it!
No wonder...
They quickly took down notes as if they had learned some top-secret information.
Some of them secretly swore to take baths more frequently than ever too.
At least once a day.
Who would've known that they were responsible for their own ugliness?
This, this, this is groundbreaking!
