It's a morning like any, but apparently not exactly for the Russian actor winner of 5 oscars and several other prizes of the cinema and TV, Victor Nikiforov. At age 28, the actor, currently considered the 2nd most wanted man in the world by TOP FASHION magazine, and best known for his beautiful silver blond hair and blue eyes, led a happy life ... until he woke up this fateful morning and discover that his hair is falling. This makes him scream so loud that it scared the people who live in the neighboring apartments. After apologizing and a lie to justify the most absurd cry that had given him his whole life.
"What should I do?" He asks himself, pacing back and forth, being watched by his dog, Makkachin. "Ah!"
He stops suddenly, smiling.
"How about I visit that Japanese salon where 12 years ago I cut my hair!" He asks, receiving a bark of the brown poodle, which shakes his tail. "I've decided! Makka, let's go to Japan! "
Listening to a new bark, Victor opens his laptop and already buys tickets for him and his dog, and decides to research about the Beauty Salon, not to get lost in a totally strange country.
"I just hope I do not find that nerd before," he says, making a disgusted face at the memory of that fat boy in the room the day he cut his hair.
But just because he can feel those magic hands in his hair again, even that memory becomes pleasant, even if they are short because he slept as soon as he felt relaxed. Mainly because it was these hands that came up the hairstyle that caused the increase in its popularity. Excited, he can hardly wait.
Curiously, as he sits in his seat on the plane, he sees the new edition of TOP FASHION, where on the cover, a very sexy, black-haired Asian man stretches back, poses head-on. His right hand (on the left side of the photo) is raised to the side, holding a lot of his hair and his left is holding a pair of scissors close to his hair, as if to cut it. The most peculiar of the photo is that the left arm is over his head and his eyes were half open, giving more sensuality to that man named 'Eros'.
Funny that after the cut he did, 10 years ago, for 8 years, it was he who was on the cover of this magazine. Picking up the magazine, he flips through it until he sees another photo that covers the right side of the double page almost all the way up and down, with him making his right eye with his left open. On the left side, the text: Beauty Genius of Divine Hands. Interview with mysterious man, winner of several beauty contests, owner of the most successful channel on Youtube, EienBeauty.
He turns the page, seeing several photos of people before and after passing through the hands of that man, which makes him surprised by the result based only on changes of haircut and makeup on the face of these people. Men, women and even young people and children, which do not only improve their appearance, but also their mood and self-esteem. Among the photos, these people's phrases for that man make him frown. This is all a lie. Eros is a lie.
Moving on to the next page, he is scared to see celebrities like Sara and Michele Christino, Mila Babicheva, Leo de La Iglesia, Yuuko Nishigori, Yuri Pliselsky and even his best friend, the Swiss actor Christophe Giacometti, before and after the hairstyle that until he himself praised. What the hell?!
Eros, you're a lie.
A lie with a body to envy even someone like him. How can be to feel those hips ... but what the hell is he thinking? ! Victor finds himself embarrassed, something he has never been in life.

In Tokyo, he drives with his dog to the hotel before heading to the salon. With a fake, celebrity smile, he gives autographs and compliments to the fans he meets on the way. Taking a bath and changing clothes, He leaves Makka with food, water and resting. He does not waste time and goes to the taxi stand, with the address on his cell phone, anxious with each passing minute. When you see the front of the hall, the first surprise: The name is different from 10 years ago. He widens his eyes as he reads ' Eien Beauty Salon' .
Taking a deep breath, he goes inside, being greeted by the same man who cut his hair 10 years ago.
"Welcome ... Oh, Victor Nikiforov! It's been 10 years! "'He says, excited.
"Yes, Mr. Ciadinni." The Russian actor speaks, smiling. "I noticed you changed the salon's name."
"10 years is a long time, Nikiforov. Much has happened. "
"I see ..." Victor says, looking around. On the walls, several photos of people next to Eros, with messages of thanks and drawings scattered. Beside the door, a glass cabinet displays several international awards and certificates with two names, one of them being 'Yuri'.
But what strikes him is a showcase with silvery blond hair down to the shoulder. Besides the color of the hair, the fact that that wig has the same detail of the fringe of his current hair makes him sure. Is that his old hair? You are so well taken care of ...
"So what can I do for you?" Celestino Ciadinni asks, grinning to see that he is admiring the wig made with his silvery blond hair.
"Oh, that's right!" Victor looks back at him. "Can you take care of my hair again?"
"Again?" Celestino frowns. "I'm sorry, Victor, but I was not the one who cut your hair and unfortunately I do not cut hair anymore."
"Eh?" The Russian actor is scared.
"Oh, it's true! That day was ... "The Italian interrupts when the front door opens, revealing a woman and a boy, both Japanese, talking.
The woman notices Victor first, and screams loudly, scaring the boy in jeans and a navy-blue sleeved shirt that stumbles and falls to the floor. This allows Victor to watch his face, embarrassed and panting, with what appears to be a panic attack.
"Oh no. Yuuri! I'm sorry! "She says, massaging his back.
"Is he okay?" Victor asks, making the boy turn his face toward him and widen his eyes.
What beautiful chocolate-colored eyes? And those cute cheeks? Damn he's so ... Hm? I think I've seen it before ... Wait, I remember those glasses! The nerd 10 years ago ...
"Yuuri, do you have some free time?" Celestino asks, getting a look from the Asian.
"Yes, why?"
Mr. Nikiforov apparently needs to take care of his hair. And since you cut their hair 10 years ago, why do not you continue what you started? "Celestino says, making the boy moan.
Victor Nikiforov, famous actor known for surprising in the films that he has performed, has not ceased to be surprised since he arrived in the country. And upon receiving a look of fear from the Asian, he opens his famous heart-shaped smile.
"You should, Yuuri! After all you are ... "Minako begins, but is interrupted by the boy, who finally gets up from the ground.
"Mr. Nikiforov, my name is Yuuri Katsuki. And yes, 10 years ago I cut your hair, "he says shyly and raises his right hand. "Excuse me."
Victor feels a shiver as he feels his hand go through his hair. Yuuri Katsuki in front of him, the tape concentrated while sliding his left hand as well. Drawing his hands close to him, the Asian realizes that there are some silvery strands attached between his fingers, making him frown. Suddenly, the Japanese widened his eyes and looked at the actor, his face completely red.
"Anoo..." He takes a deep breath. "Your hands."
It takes minutes for Victor Nikiforov to understand what he meant until he realizes that he is unconsciously holding him by the hips with both hands. Frightened, he walks away, seemingly surprised. Yuuri Katsuki steps away from him and runs toward a curtain at the back of the store, where the noise of heavy footsteps climbing stairs is heard by the 3 present.
Why did I do that? I did not even realize ...
"I ..." The Russian begins to speak, but is interrupted by Celestino Ciadinni, who smiles.
"It's all right. If he went up the stairs, it means he already has an idea of what his problem is and he went to pick up items to use on you and that apparently is nothing involving his health, "he says, leaning his face. "Trust Yuuri. He's the best hairdresser currently in Japan, so he knows what he's doing."
He is the best hairdresser currently existing ...
He is the best...
Yuuri Katsuki emerges, carrying a small box and a glass of water, his face sweaty and his hair wet. He opens the box and pulls out a pill from her, extending it to the actor who looks at him, startled.
"Take one of these pills every day, until the box is empty." He says, seriously. "And sit down, I'll treat your hair."
"What's in here?" Victor asks, taking the pill and his glass.
"Vitamins," he replies. "You are using products that damage capillary wires, which in excess, cause sagging, smashing, irritation in the scalp and baldness later on. Plus, you probably do not do balanced meals. "Yuuri says, making Victor himself, terrified by what he hears. "They're probably products that you use professionally."
"I do not want to lose my hair !" Victor cries, and takes a deep breath, making his decision.
Swallowing, he takes his medicine and drinks two sips of water. Taking a deep breath, he sits down in the chair and in the mirror, watching the Japanese stand behind him, his eyes half-open. Lifting a pair of earbuds and putting them on, he covers Victor's shoulders with a plastic cape and starts wetting his hair. Touching the wires again, Victor recognizes the touch like 10 years ago, and slowly he feel sleepy.
