Kimi stared at her reflection, barely recognizing the woman looking back at her. Both her mother and Alvin had succeeded in their mission to completely transform her appearance.
Alvin had brought her to his cousin, a talented stylist who seemed to know exactly who Kimi was before they even met. The young woman had worked with determination, as if she understood the importance of this makeover.
When the transformation was complete, she stepped back with satisfaction. "Take a look at yourself now."
The shock hit Kimi like a wave. Her once mousy hair had been dyed a rich dark brown and cut into elegant long layers that framed her face perfectly. Without her usual glasses hiding her features, her natural beauty shone through completely. The stylist had applied expertly blended smokey makeup that made her eyes appear larger and more mysterious, giving her an undeniably sultry appearance.
