Perfect Cherry Blossom

I've always wanted to have a haircut like Youmu Konpaku. She is one of the most lethal wielders of a bob cut I've ever seen. I have more wavy hair though, so I think it would turn out better than it would if I had straight hair, especially since anime hairstyles often don't translate well into real life without a few waves and curls. I've always wanted to rock bangs though, and I think her hairstyle is a good base for what I would want my hair to look like. The sad part is, everytime I go to my hairstylist, I find myself asking for the same haircut instead. I often feel held back by the fact that if I 1) asked for a bob or 2) showed my stylist an image of Youmu, I would be promptly kicked out of the building. It sucks a lot since my hair is something that worries me a lot. I wonder if I could find the courage to ask my stylist for what I truly want. I remember seeing a video online of a stylist who is very caring. She would ask the client for their name and pronouns, and then ask before they touch their hair. I remember a lot of people made fun of this video, citing that this is too much to be doing as a stylist, however I would very much like a stylist who cares a lot for their clients. I feel like I could show her a picture of Youmu and she would help guide me to finding a similar hair style that fits me. Alas, I don't know where that place is, so I'm stuck with my normal, uncaring stylist. I've actually never finished this game, as much as I've played it. I usually make it to stage 4 or 5 before running out of lives and having to restart all over again. A lot of it boils down to the fact that I often hemorrhage most of my lives dealing with Alice in stage 3, and then lose even more lives against the sisters in stage 4. I've only faced Youmu twice, yet she has captivated me since I first laid eyes on her. She is who I aspire to be. I feel like if I beat her though, it will lose the magic of this game for me. So I begrudgingly carry on, not intentionally throwing runs, but maybe in hopes I find another revelation that will comfort me before I defeat her.
