Episode 57
Oshin now had her first chance at doing hair on her own.
But it was so sudden that she was afraid and apprehensive.
Welcome.
- You'll be doing my hair? - Yes.
What style would you like?
The hidden-ear look.
You don't know that style?
Yes I do.
- Please get me my iron. - All right.
I didn't know you did Western-style hair here.
I didn't want to have to turn a customer away.
That's true. One has to be flexible nowadays.
You're the only one around here doing just Japanese styles.
At least you still have a lot of geisha around here.
Thanks.
Don't get it too curly!
Your hair will look fuller this way.
Please don't let Oshin make any mistakes.
How do you like it?
What's this?
I asked for the hidden-ear look!
Yes I've hidden your ears.
This isn't the way it's supposed to look!
You don't know that style do you? Now my hair is ruined!
I'm sorry. I'll do it over.
I don't have time I have an appointment!
- Are you the owner? - Yes.
How can you use an inexperienced girl on me?
If you don't like it you don't have to pay.
You think not charging me makes it all right?
My hair is ruined!
I have to deal with clients in my line of work!
I wish you could stay to have it done over...
Never mind!
I should never have come here!
I'm not paying! I should be charging you instead!
Thank you!
I'm sorry.
Never mind. You did your best.
What a nasty customer!
You can't blame her the girl was inexperienced.
We've lost another customer. Oshin's nothing but trouble!
You can't expect much on your first time out.
Don't lose heart.
I feel so badly for our owner.
That woman's an idiot! Her hair looked great.
It looked good on her. She just didn't get it.
You hid her ear and everything! What's her problem?
I'm no good...
I'll never be able to do it.
I'll learn to do the proper Japanese style
no matter how many years it takes me.
I'm sure I can do that if I study hard enough.
I was dreaming...
No more Western-style hair for me.
Let's get back to work. I still have a year left as a maid.
I hate to talk to you like this
but I disagree with what you had Oshin do today.
She's only been practicing for three months.
You should've known better!
And you told us you'd never do Western-style hair here!
We take pride in what we do here.
I have tea for you.
- Oshin. - Yes?
You didn't even know the hidden-ear style!
You should've declined if you didn't know.
You have made our owner look very bad!
I know the hidden-ear style.
Every parlor had a couple of people with that style.
Then why did you do it in a strange way?
You know of it but you can't do it right?
I thought she wouldn't look good in that style
so I just hid her ear and did it in another style.
How ridiculous!
A hairdresser does it the way the customer wants it!
I thought it was our job to make her look better.
She'd look very foolish with the hidden-ear look.
She doesn't have the face for it.
Maybe Oshin's right.
In the Japanese style it's all set as to who wears what.
A wife wears the maru-mage and a girl wears the momo-ware.
You can tell a woman's profession just by looking at her hair.
There's no set way in doing Western styles.
A working girl a wife or a school girl.
It doesn't matter what she wears.
A style doesn't have to have a name.
A hairdresser just does her best to fit the customer.
- I'm saying... - Yes I know!
It's time for our lesson Oshin.
Please teach me the proper Japanese style.
No more Western-style hair for me!
Otoyo you can be the subject tonight.
What?
Come on. Let's go.
Give Otoyo a style that fits her best.
You should all watch. You might have to do this one day.
Don't it looks good!
You look great with it.
- You look so much younger. - The Western style isn't bad.
Oh sure! I was made a fool of.
Nobody can make a living doing hair like this!
Oshin has caused us all so much trouble!
Thank you for waiting.
Stop taking so long to eat!
I'm done!
Please have your lunch now.
I don't have time to eat! Our customers are waiting.
Welcome!
May I help you?
Where's that girl who did my hair the other day?
Welcome.
You want to see Oshin?
I would like for her to do my hair again.
I'm sorry I lost my temper the other day.
Everybody told me my hair looked great!
The other girls at my place all asked about it.
I've decided to have her be my stylist.
And I will pay for my last visit too.
We don't do Western styles.
We made a special exception for you the other day.
But I said I was sorry. I'll give a good tip!
I'm sorry. Please leave.
Don't be so mean! I want that girl to do my hair.
Then I'll have her make a house call.
On a house call she can do any style she pleases.
She makes house calls?
Good that's save me the trouble of waiting.
Have her come to the Café Athena in Kanda.
Come around 4 o'clock and go to the back door.
Ask for Someko.
Will you write down the address?
Just remember it. It's in Kanda.
But it's her first time.
Don't embarrass me. I can't write.
I'm sorry.
- Go call Oshin. - Okay.
Oshin!
Come quickly! It's good news.
I'm so sorry about the other day!
Take down her name and her address.
All right.
Hanabusa-cho in Kanda.
You know how to write? I'm impressed!
Any landmark?
There's a tobacco shop on the corner.
It's two doors down.
Café Athena. And my name's Someko.
I'll have her come around 4 o'clock.
I'll be waiting!
Thank you!
Take your tools and make a house call.
Leave at 3 o'clock.
Whom will I be accompanying?
She asked for you personally.
She liked the style you did for her.
I'm not good enough! Please turn her down.
I've already told her you'd be there.
Shape up!
You know the basics.
So just do your best.
If you fail just try again.
Give it a try!
Oshin had her second chance.
But Oshin still lacked the confidence.
She also felt badly for her fellow workers too.
