I plan on looking feminine more often to piss off Mom even more."@@ You are surprised by the massive shift in Harold's desires...but perhaps his clash with his mother really was deep enough to promote this personal method of "revenge". Do you want to help teach him how to feminize himself more or not? [[Give him what he wants|HaroldLevel2F]] [[Advise against it|HaroldLevel2E]]

You decide that it's better to not promote an escalating war between Mrs. Ivy and Harold, so you advise him to take another path. <<print "@@color:"+$you.color+";\"Harold, while I am impressed that you're so accepting of a feminine appearence, you should really think about whether this is the right decision.

You decide that it's worth teaching Harold how to do his own makeup and style a wig. You direct <<print $employees[0].name>> to sit him down and walk him through the process.

You welcome James back into the salon for his usual makeover, but his recently pleasent disposition seems to have shifted. @@color:#00506e;"Yo $you.name, can I talk to you for a second...somewhere private?"@@ he asks, his brow furrowed as he glances around the salon. "Sure, I guess...let's go into my office," you say, uncertain about what he wants to discuss. You lead him to your office and shut the door.

It's apparent that his formerly sexist attitude also extends to a similar homophobic mindset, which could be disruptive to the salon. You could ask him to leave for good, just treat him like you have been, or you could devise some sort of punishment to maybe make him reconsider his position.

You decide that the best way to teach James about the error of his ways is through personal experience. Calling over you assistant, you tell her about James' homophobic remarks and ask her to give James a slightly feminine makeover. <<print "@@color:"+$employees[0].color+";\"Sounds good! We'll see if his narcissism over how good he looks or his homophobic reaction to how feminine he looks wins out,\"@@">> <<print $employees[0].name>> replies with a smile.

You decide that the best way to teach James about the error of his ways is through some hypnosis. You take James yourself for a little one-on-one time waiting for the bleach with the hypnotic conditioner added in to settle in. <<print "@@color:"+$you.color+";\"James, I thought that the last time we talked, you were saying that you were going to respect woman more,\"@@">> you state. <<print "@@color:"+$you.color+";\"But now you've been saying some very nasty things about some of my feminine clients.\"@@">> @@color:#00506e;"They aren't woman...they're dudes, man,"@@ James says with a hint of irritation obvious even with his subdued mood. <<print "@@color:"+$you.color+";\"As far as you should be concerned, they are woman!
