MEET THE CHARACTERS!

LA DIRECTRICE Ruby On The Nail is THE DIRECTOR

A narcissistic makeup artist and former beauty queen, somewhat eccentric, The Director seems to care only about her ambitions for glory and wealth. Her lack of grasp on reality makes her a constantly amusing character, always out of sync with her employees. Her bouts of vanity often lead to comical situations—disrupting the life of the salon in the process.

LA NARRATRICE & ASSOCIÉE Javel Habibi is THE NARRATOR

Co-creator of the salon, The Narrator has somewhat stepped back to avoid clashing with the narcissistic ambitions of her friend, The Director. Though an integral part of the story, she enjoys stepping outside the frame to observe, testify, comment, or question. With a kind perspective on the action, she seems to be the voice of reason—if only someone would listen...

LA PROTHÉSISTE ONGULAIRE AGACÉE Madeleine Flamboyante is THE NAIL TECHNICIAN

The Nail Technician is the longest-serving employee at TOPCOAT, and clearly the one who’s the most fed up. Simply put, she’s annoyed and isn’t afraid to make it known. Having ended up working in a beauty salon she deems entirely flawed, she questions the standards imposed by The Director and is determined to make her voice heard.

LA PÉDICURE QUI RÊVAIT DE DANSER Androkill is THE PEDICURIST

The Pedicurist exudes a positive energy that stands in stark contrast to the resigned atmosphere at TOPCOAT. While she dreams of being an artist, she refuses to be limited by the precarious nature of her job at the salon. As a true force of nature, she prefers to see all the possibilities it offers and the future it will help her build.

L’APPRENTIE INCOMPRISE Kahlos Éphémère is THE APPRENTICE

In training at the salon and having arrived like a fish out of water, The Apprentice struggles to find her place in an already chaotic environment. Though inexperienced, it seems the salon employees are not very capable of guiding her through her learning process. Both a mysterious and endearing character, The Apprentice turns out to be a sensitive soul with unexpected skills.
