| Chiu ： |
OK, I’ll do my best for you. |
| Gina : |
Do you have any pictures of new hairstyles? I’d like to try something hip. |
| Chiu ： |
Sure, here are the latest styles. Look at this noble style. It’s so elegant! Your hair is long and auburn in colour. It’ll look perfect in a knot at the back. |
| Gina : |
But won’t it make my face look too round – just like a pig with a butterfly on its head? |
| Chiu ： |
Absolutely not. I’m sure it’ll look quite nice on you. It suits tonight’s occasion so much. Trust me! |

| Chiu ： |
OK, how do you like to have it cut today? |

I need a layered style, but don’t cut it too short on the sides and the back. Just trim it a little. |
| Chiu ： |
How about on top? |
| Alan ： |
Mm……, thin the top out a little, but just a little. |

Very well. Do you do hair colouring? |
