Description
From Viz:
Although a truly gifted hairstylist, Kiri Koshiba has no interest in using her talent to pursue fame and fortune, unlike the three popular boys in the "Scissors Project" at school. Determined to become the best makeover team in Japan, they give showy makeovers to handpicked girls. As much as Kiri tries to shy away from the Scissors Project spotlight, she finds herself responding to beauty's call...
Note: Beauty Pop Stage 2 is from volume 7 to 10. It is a continuation of Beauty Pop. This is because they were published after the hiatus. The whole series ends with 10 volumes.... More...

i simply LOVED this! The relationships developed (the end) ! The talent (hair)! The CHARACTERS...AWESOME FEMALE LEAD!!!!!!! I love her cat shampoo! Just pops out of no-where XD The Love triangle formed! Read this now or you'll regret it! HIGHLY RECCOMENEDED!
this manga has the best of the best heroine ever, KIRI-chan is like the coolest (i hope there are some other mangas or yet more mangas that has a kiri chan -like heroine because almost all shojo are like clumsy and cry babies) anyways, this manga is so hilarious you cant just stop laughing and the thing is once youve started with it you cant just stop reading it.
the ending was also cute, over all two thumbs up or shall i say BRAVO to the author,

A cutesy story about hairstyling. This story has a tendency to veer toward the extreme (mostly in characters) and I’m guessing will be either liked or disliked by readers. I myself found the story enjoyable but not one of my all time favorites.
Plot- A fairly simple plot, become the best makeover team in Japan, of course it doesn’t stay simple for long when you throw in people who want to stop their plan and of course love triangles. But even the opposition wasn’t all that complex and the love triangle came late and wasn’t to major a part of the plot.
Characters- All the characters seem to be taken to the extremes in their actions, but it’s kind of fun to read so their extremeness didn’t wear me down. But Kiri did get on my nerves a bit later on; she was too uninterested in anything! She shows hints at her true feelings but she… just didn’t seem to care enough at the time. Thankfully a time skip ahead showed some of her true feelings and helped her seem a bit less uncaring. But still the main character seemed like it was less Kiri, who got a little dull at times, and the main character felt like it was more Narumi, who I was more interested in reading about because of his more interesting reactions. As the story progressed the story gathered a lot of strange people into its plot, and while that’s not bad and was sometimes interesting it was also sometimes annoying and I wanted just one semi normal character now and then.
Art- It was all right, it wasn’t the greatest but it worked for this manga so I’m satisfied by the artwork even if sometimes I felt it was a bit lacking.
Other- I don’t really remember being bored with this manga while I was reading it but looking back I can see how some people could become bored, the plot does get a bit repetitive and I can find how some people won’t like the unusual cast of characters who do wear their likability a bit thin. Be warned, the romance isn’t really there… not until later chapters and then it felt more like one sided affection (until the time skip at the very end that is…), so don’t start reading this expecting a lot of romance. But I still think it’s an interesting story that if you’re thinking of reading and have time to read you should definitely do so!

another manga i love because of the characters. i really like Kiri-chan. she's not your typical female character so its kinda refreshing. i was a bit disappointed of the romance though, its just too little romance. i was really looking forward to Narumi and Kiri's romance. however, i like the last chapter especially the extra story. so cute. well, i do hope there is a sequel to this where they are all grown-ups. i think it'll be interesting. ^_^
Spoiler (highlight to view)
What's really amusing about this series: the guy and girl's roles are reversed, personality-wise. Actually, Kiri isn't that much like a guy except for the indifferent and bored part but NARUMI acts hilariously like a girl. When he's starting to panic over whether he likes Kiri or when they accidentally kiss he's just... so much like a girl.
Anyways, cool manga cuz the heroine is just SO cool and awesome. She's strong and not the one head over heels in love (on the contrary, a bunch of guys are madly in love with HER and she doesn't even notice/care... until the end). It's about beauty and hairstyling which is interesting. Really cute with a lot of fluffy moments too of Naru xKiri.
Although there were moments when I was like 'this mangaka should tone it down a little...' cuz it's so unrealistic and makes me roll my eyes when a guy's going 'I like her? No way! Do I really? That's not possible!' etc.

It's ok. My biggest problem is there's little to no character development. The art is so-so, and the comedy fails to make me laugh. To me its not worth finishing. I prefer a little more drama and realistic characters.
this is pretty cute and funny!
kiri = ryoma.
they're like SIBLINGS, lol.

It's so ridiculous and yet I can't put the manga down! I love the main character and her boring attitude. Cute and funny! Don't hesitate to check this out!
