"Then what hairstyle should I get?"

Lu Haoran quickly asked.

"With your face shape and features, there aren’t actually many suitable hairstyles."

Su Zelin felt a bit troubled.

Lu Haoran was embarrassed. He knew he wasn’t very good-looking, and his face shape wasn’t ideal either. No matter how the barber cut his hair, it always seemed to lack impact.

"How about this, I’ll cut your hair myself!"

Xiaolin pondered for a moment and then said.

The hairstyling techniques right now aren’t as advanced as in the future, with fewer hairstyle options. Most places just replicate the hairstyles of Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities. Hair salons have many celebrity posters and magazines. Customers usually point at a style they want, saying something like "I want this one," and few stylists understand the principle of tailoring a hairstyle to fit someone’s head shape, face shape, and temperament.

But Xiaolin is different. He has high fashion taste, and for a fashion guru, a good hairstyle is indispensable. Xiaolin can almost cut any hairstyle because if he has enough mirrors and tools around, he can sometimes even cut his own hair and it wouldn’t be inferior to a well-known stylist.

Of course, Xiaolin is very confident, but others may not be.

"You, you can cut it?"

Lu Haoran was surprised.

He knew his buddy was talented in many areas, but he hadn’t heard he could cut hair.

It wouldn’t matter if it was just fooling around on an ordinary day, but the day after tomorrow, he had to meet Xiaoyanzi’s parents, so his hairstyle couldn’t be messed up.

"Hey, can you really do it? Don’t mess around this time and treat Haoran like a guinea pig!"

Qin Shiqing had also never heard of Qing Mei cutting hair.

Su Zelin didn’t argue much with the two of them.

"In any case, your hairstyle needs to change! Haoran, I have two options for you. First, I recommend a barbershop; your image might improve slightly, but there won’t be a major change. Second, I’ll handle it personally; barring any surprises, the result will be better than a barber shop!"

Lu Haoran was torn.

A barber shop might be safer, but he’s been there many times, and it’s always the same old style.

If his good buddy were to cut it, he’d be somewhat of a guinea pig.

In the end, he gritted his teeth, "Zelin, you go ahead!"

The honest guy ultimately trusted Xiaolin, believing that his buddy wouldn’t do him wrong.

Plus, his buddy’s hairstyle is top-notch. He felt Su Zelin’s aesthetics could indeed outshine Tony the stylist.

"Haha, that’s more like it!"

Su Zelin quickly darted to the room and pulled out a set of hair-cutting tools.

Missing the comprehensive 360-degree mirror, he couldn’t cut his own hair, but sometimes when Tony the stylist couldn’t quite meet his hair expectations, he would simply refine it a bit more himself.

Seeing that Su Zelin indeed had haircutting tools, Lu Haoran felt slightly relieved.

Guiding the honest guy into the bathroom and wrapping a cape on him, Su Zelin started cutting with snip-snip sounds, occasionally switching tools or using his fingers to measure certain areas of his buddy’s hair length. He really did look somewhat like a professional stylist.

After about fifteen minutes, the cut was almost done. Lu Haoran was asked to wash his hair, blow-dry it with a hair dryer, apply mousse, and style it. Su Zelin then carefully scrutinized for a moment and smiled, "Alright, it’s done!"

Qin Shiqing had followed the two guys into the bathroom to watch the excitement, but the bathroom wasn’t very big, so she could only see the back of Lu Haoran’s head.

She was also curious how much of a transformation Xiaolin could bring to Lu Haoran, and when it was time to see the result, the girl urged eagerly, "Haoran, hurry up, turn around and let me have a look!"

Lu Haoran took a deep breath and turned around. He didn’t know how Su Zelin’s haircut turned out on him. Although his buddy acted very professionally, there was still a bit of worry.

The moment Qin Shiqing saw Lu Haoran’s face, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Shiqing, how, how is it?"

The honest guy was a bit nervous.

Qin Shiqing’s reaction confirmed he had changed significantly.

But he wasn’t sure whether it was an impressive lift or a huge flop.

"Why don’t you see for yourself,"

Su Zelin brought him to the mirror.

When he saw himself in the mirror, Lu Haoran’s eyes widened too.

It was a simple yet sophisticated short hairstyle, slanted and upwards, creating a clean, refreshing look that didn’t lose its sense of layering, highlighting youthful vitality, making him look more energetic and less clumsy.

Is this me?

Lu Haoran was both surprised and delighted.

He always thought he was a country bumpkin, but this hairstyle gave him a hint of a refined trendy man vibe, however minimal, it was evidently a big leap from being purely a bumpkin.

"What do you think, is it alright?"

Su Zelin smirked proudly.

"Zelin, you’re amazing! I absolutely love this hairstyle, I didn’t expect you to have this talent!"

The honest guy snapped back to reality and was full of admiration for Xiaolin.

His good buddy truly seemed capable of anything!

Actually, Su Zelin just made some small modifications to Lu Haoran’s existing mushroom cut. The length didn’t change much; it was mainly cut more jaggedly, styled, and made fluffier and more layered, giving Lu Haoran a whole new look.

"Not everyone gets to experience the skill of Tony Su, you’re in luck!"

Xiaolin first boasted a bit, then explained to the honest guy.

"This hairstyle is called side texture, its feature is styling to one side, whether it’s 1:9 or 2:8. You’re more suited for 2:8, this hairstyle has strong lines and allows for a slightly messy and irregular look to make you appear more dynamic and adaptable!"
