Conflicting Relationships at Hair Salon 'Butterfly'... Demands from Difficult Customers and Conflicts Among Designers

The characters of the JTBC drama 'Salon De Nabi' are shown experiencing conflicts and glimpses of daily life centered around the hair salon 'Butterfly.' The video captures everything from a customer treating a hair stylist like a personal assistant to the internal hierarchy of the salon and the subtle emotional lines between the characters.

"Buy me kimbap"... A customer's demand that takes the hair stylist's labor for granted

In the video, a scene appears where a customer visiting the salon gives a personal errand to a hair stylist. The customer demanded that kimbap be bought instead of bread because they do not eat flour. When the customer received vegetable kimbap instead of the desired menu (kimchi kimbap) due to the situation at the kimbap restaurant, they showed an attitude of treating the hair stylist like a maid by demanding it be bought again. In response, the hair stylist Su-ri fulfills the customer's request and performs the errand, but internally, this situation becomes a spark for conflict, as it disrupts the work system. Regarding this attitude, Su-ri is asked metaphorical questions such as "Is this a center for social climbing, or are you a maid?" and is pointed out that an excessively kind attitude makes the system tangled.

The composition of 'Butterfly' and the different vanity environments of the designers

The hair salon 'Butterfly' operates with a total of 7 vanities. Each designer is assigned 2 vanities, and there is a separate BRP vanity for special purposes. The vanities shown in the video provide different environments depending on the characteristics of the designers.

Director Michelle's vanity is described as a 'Beauty Mirror' equipped with special lighting and angles designed so that customers look their most beautiful. It is characterized by being designed to hide blemishes and make customers look radiant. Mr. Jin's vanity, who specializes in coloring, is installed with lighting bright enough to perform surgical operations, and Mr. Kwang-soo's vanity is set as a brutally honest environment that prioritizes the designer's satisfaction over the customer's satisfaction. These spatial differences are utilized as elements that support each character's personality.

Confrontations between characters and the hierarchical relationships within the salon

Inside the salon, sharp conversations and tension in relationships continue between the characters. Su-ri is pointed out by those around her for her excessively kind attitude, with comments that she is "deliberately pretending to be kind just to look good to others." Additionally, regarding the issue of contract fulfillment between Director Michelle and other characters, legal and administrative confrontations are depicted, such as the inability to return the contract deposit and complaints to the hair association if the contract is not fulfilled. In terms of work methods, a senior designer strictly demands and reprimands Su-ri for checking the water temperature through the inside of the wrist and creating sufficient foam before shampooing. The characters form a complex web of relationships, such as spitting out sharp words at each other or confronting one another by mentioning contract violations.
