Beautician!Kenshin Headcanons
ALRIGHT SO IâM LATE, BUT HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY #1 LORD AND LOVER, KENSHIN UESUGI! Here, have some personal headcanons I have for Beautician!Kenshin because I couldnât stop thinking about him. -Admin Yukari
Being well-versed with a sword, it wasnât strange to see Kenshin wield a pair of scissors and be extremely talented with it.
While Kenshin was good with scissors in beauty school, he had to really work hard to keep up with the other necessary beauty skills, such as dyeing hair, washing hair, and practicing quality customer service. Sometimes his instructors would tell him to work on smiling more instead of frowning.
He used to practice on Sasuke, Yukimura, and Shingen but that all ended when all three of them were too scared to be near him and a sharp pair of scissors.Â
Shingen complains that Kenshin isnât gentle when he washes his hair and makes a point that customers can complain about getting headaches. Kenshin scoffs and calls it nonsense since Shingenâs scalp needs the harsh wash to get rid of his dandruff flakes.
Once, Kenshin tried buzzing off Yukimuraâs hair with a razor, and it did not end as well as he thought it would. Yukimura was left with a few uneven spots in his hair and he was mortified to go out afterward. After this, Yukimura told Kenshin to work on his skills before using him as a sacrifice again in the future.
When Sasuke, with hesitation, decided to offer himself up to Kenshin to trim his bangs, it ended with Sasuke screaming in horror as he saw the straight blunt bangs across his forehead after Kenshin chopped it all off. It wasnât until Kenshin stylized it in its usual manner did Sasuke sigh in relief and felt his heart return to its normal beat.
Kenshin is not fond of dyeing hair or bleaching it. Heâs not a big fan of the lengthy process or the smell. He always says that it âtakes up too much timeâ and doesnât like how it gives his clients dead hair a few weeks later.
If they were brave enough, some of Kenshinâs classmates would ask him if he bleached and styled his own hair because of its unique style, but he would quickly tell them no and that it was âall natural,â much to their disbelief.
After graduating from beauty school and getting his license, Kenshin started off by joining a well-known hair salon in Echigo. It was the perfect opportunity to hone his skills and develop them even more.Â
Right after he had his own booth, the owner of the salon started to notice the increase in clientele and couldnât help but wonder if it was because of Kenshinâs skills or just himself in general.Â
While most of his coworkers refuse to cut hair for young children because of their fidgety habits in the salon chair, Kenshin doesnât mind. He usually gets them to stay still and quickly works his scissors through their hair, all while telling them to remain still if they didnât want him to accidentally cut them.Â
Even though women (and sometimes men) come flocking over to the hair salon and demand to have an appointment with Kenshin, heâs usually booked several months ahead. People usually have to wait 4-5 months for his next opening because Kenshin doesnât like to pack his schedule too tightly.
Once Kenshin was informed that the hair salon would extend into other beauty services, he decided to quit and open up his own hair salon. Doing makeovers and nails was out of the question for him and he didnât enjoy it as much as he did with hair.Â
After opening up his own hair salon, Kenshin decided to establish his own rules. Sake Saturdays would be a thing among his employees, and he would happily accept sake and pickled plums as payment from his clients.Â
Surprisingly, Kenshin gets also booked to do hair updos for weddings or special events. Heâs willing to travel to his clients if they promise him a quality brand of sake too.Â
Kenshin always participates in hair donations for organizations that use hair to create wigs for cancer patients. He believes in good causes and likes to make his hair salon known for donating the most qualified hair. Itâs good publicity!Â
Has a poor habit of talking with scissors and pointing at things with them. If things get heated in the salon, you better pray that Kenshin isnât snapping his scissors at you as his voice darkens and he speaks faster than usual.Â
Kenshin doesnât listen to the music his hair salon plays. Instead, he carries his own black earbuds and smartphone to block out the salonâs pop music. He prefers instrumental music or even alternative rock.
One time Yoshimoto came in after hearing about Kenshinâs success with his new salon and he âaccidentallyâ changed the music playing in the hair salon to extremely loud screamo music. It wasnât long before Kenshin chased him out of the hair salon with his scissors and banned Yoshimoto from ever returning.
Even though he was taught to interact with his customers in beauty school, Kenshin is not much of a talker when he works on his clientâs hair. He prefers to just listen to his music in silence, only speaking when he instructs his clients to follow him to the sink to wash their hair or to look at a certain angle while he cuts their hair.Â
Despite this, Kenshinâs charisma always draws his customers to come back to him. Itâs hard to resist him and his prices for his services too.
Kenshin cuts his own hair when it gets a little longer. He doesnât trust anyone else to do it.Â
Keeps his hair salon clean and sparkling every day. Kenshin canât stand seeing a piece of hair on the floor if it hasnât been swept and he doesnât like seeing empty bottles of hairspray on the counters either. Proper sanitation is a must.
Kenshinâs salon eventually becomes the #1 go-to place for hair in Echigo, and heâs quite proud of his hard work. Itâs a victory worth showing off! To celebrate, he eventually comes out with his own professional line of hair products and it hits off well among his clients and Echigo. Â
Kenshin avidly avoids gossip and drama and refrains from participating in it. He wants his employees to keep it professional, but that all changes when a certain client keeps coming back to his hair salon and Kenshin develops the desire to get to know her better. His employees tease him about it and ask âWhat happened to the âzero tolerance policyâ for gossip?âÂ
Eventually ends up hiring MC to be his social media and marketing promoter for his hair salon. All of Kenshinâs works of art for hair can be found on his Instagram and other social media websites thanks to MCâs meticulous work.Â
His budding romance with MC starts when she allows him to use her hair to create more pretty updos and to test new methods. It isnât long before Kenshin becomes quite comfortable with MC and loves the feel of her hair. Heâs sure he wonât find anyone as open and accepting as her when it comes to being his test subject.
Once Kenshin and MC planned to get married, he asked her if she would allow him to stylize her hair for the wedding, and she agreed! It wasnât every day that she had the chance to let Kenshin play with her hair.Â
If Kenshin had children, they would be set for life when it comes to hair. He would be their one and only hairstylist. He canât stand the thought of them seeing anyone else. Yandere much?
