"Yes, honey!” he smiled, giving a playful flick of nonexistent hair on his shoulder. “Gel, it is!” Jules grabbed a small kit that had the base layers he liked for the gels. As he was getting the primer and dehydrator out, he mulled over Odette’s request.
“Yes, I do believe I have heard of that. It’s the clear nude thing, with a metallic powder over it? That would look so bomb on you!” he complimented gingerly taking her right hand. Jules sprayed disinfectant on and took his file to shape the nails a bit. “Do you want natural length or extensions?”
Jules was ready for his lesson with Blanche. While the two had a good bond, it was still good to see what Blanche’s limits could be. He guided her over to the lesson where Bruce greeted them, with another student, Everett. Jules said his hellos and got Blanche ready. She seemed to give bombastic side eye but Jules made sure to give the other rider and horse their space. He followed the instructions, and began at Blanche’s head, making his way down her neck.
He waved a well-manicured hand. “Trust me, if you think a pedicure is deep. I’m sure the gossip at the barn is child’s play,” he laughed. “Ah, so we need the full pampering service?” Depending on who it was, there were times that Jules let things slide. He was renting his station and oversaw his own rates. Hope was just there with her own services. Same with Scout and June.
Jules grabbed some color samples and offered them to Odette to give her a chance to go over the colors he offered. “Yeah, all the last-minute people wanting to get in to make good first impressions! I guess Hope got enough people asking for nails, and asked if I could come in. I figured, why not? I had a nice, slow day off yesterday. Not like the Lord can tell me not to work,” he replied gathering some stuff like a new file and sanitized equipment. “Are we doing natural today? Gel, Acrylic?”
Jules was looking forward to exercising Blanche during his lunch hour. He didn’t know how much he could give her, but a jaunt around seemed to be the best thing for her. Jules would happily give her a longer ride after work, but he liked giving her the attention she desired when he could.
He was brushing her when someone approached him and called out. Jules looked up and smiled. “Ah, hello Hope. Well, if only it was my day off,” he joked. “Just figured I’d give Blanche some attention on my lunch break. I don’t know how much of a ride I can give her right now, but if you’re planning on just a small jaunt around -I’m sure I could give that to you. I’m sure she’ll just be happy to be walked around a bit.”
“Close down the salon for the day?” Jules asked, moving his hand to Blanche’s mid-back.
Jules looked at the clock in the studio. He had a few minutes until his client came in, so he made himself a cup of coffee. There were a few other people who had begun getting their nails done, most of them regs with their desired stylist. Jules was thankfully kind of like over-hire. He was often there when there was an overflow, and Jules would never say no to the money. Plus, with the slowdown of competitions - he was able to do more hours at Hope's. While Jules was still working on his so called day off, it was a different kind of work,
After taking a sip of coffee, he made sure his station was cleaned up. Brushed and materials all lined up neatly, with fresh cotton pads and clean dishes. It didn’t take long for the host to nod his way and Jules gave a bright smile. He stood up and walked over to the lobby. “Well if isn't Ms Odette!” he greeted with a big smile. He led Odette over to his station. "Are we just doing fingers today or would you like any other services as well?” Jules asked, spraying his hands with some alcohol, showing off his own nude-colored acrylic extension with some gold decor.

He loves anything and everything luxury, often waking up in the wee hours to begin his almost 2-hour morning routine. Jules believes in always looking his best, even in his natural skin. Call him crazy, but after working with rich clientele for years - some of it rubs off.
He can be petty and hold a grudge, but it takes him a long time to get there. Jules has a lovely customer service voice, often stronger when people get feisty.
Making friends isn't hard, it's harder for him to truly trust people and call them a bosom buddy. But he's a chatty person, always willing to have a good conversation. If you're looking for someone to keep secrets, he can do that. Some of his clients have spread a little too much to him, but he still keeps the chest of secrets locked and at the bottom of the ocean.
the history
father • Leon Beauchêne, 53, Hotel Manager mother • Catrina Beauchêne, 50, Horse trainer siblings • Arthur, 33 Julianna, 28 Abigail, 21 Charlotte, 19 Leona, 15
important people • Brian Beauchêne, 45, Uncle - Mortician Andrea Beauchêne, 40, Aunt - Hunter Instructor hometown • Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos, BVI overall history • Jules was born in paradise as the only biological child of Leon and Catrina after years of infertility. He was raised on the island of Grand Turk with six siblings of various ages. While growing up, Jules presented the life of high rollers. Leon is a manager at one of the high-end hotels, and Catrina worked with horses for those that wanted beach rides.
While joining his parents at work, Jules learned how to work with the hardest clients and how to ride a horse. Both things he fell in love with. There was the gossip and tricks of the rich, and the calmness of horses. It makes Jules an odd mix of horse boy that loves a three-hour skincare routine before bed while wearing long nails.
As his siblings grew older, they began leaving island life. There weren’t a lot of opportunities in paradise for schooling, but Arthur returned to help Catrina with the horses. Jules followed his sister Juliana to Hickstead when she began college. Their mother’s sister was there with her husband, allowing the siblings to have a stable place to stay.
When Julianna was in school, Jules took up cosmetology school. It took place of higher education, but Jules has been able to make decent money on his freelance clients and sometimes help his uncle at the morgue.
Craving riding, Jules applied to be the PA at Seven Oaks stable to help cover lesson prices. He enjoys the fast-paced business aspect, and from what his aunt tells him about the White family – Jules is intrigued. While hoping for the job, Jules is freelancing. He would love to possibly go to school for business, he’s not in a rush to go.
