Jenna, a self-proclaimed hairstylist, is attempting to cut and color Julian's hair after graduating from beauty school. Despite some initial struggles and uncertainty, Jenna eventually gets the hang of it and successfully dyes Julian's hair a vibrant purple color. However, the initial result was not what Julian wanted, with a blotchy, uneven color. Jenna then tries a different technique, dumping the color on top of Julian's head, which yields a more even and desirable result.
