(以下M代表Mrs. Bush,H代表Hairstylist)

H: Good morning. Mrs. Bush. What are you going to do today?

B: I'd like some highlights. I heard highlighting is very popular now.

H: Sure. What color do you prefer?

B: Could you give me any suggestion?

H: Do you like red? But not too red.

B: No. thanks. not for a woman of my age.

H: How ab out light yellow?

B: Nope. It looks, to be honest, strange on me.

H: Your hair is dark, so the lighter color will be natural. Brown will look nice on you.

B: OK, up to you. How long will it take'?

H: About 3 hours.

B: So long a time!

H: But you will look much younger after 3 hours.

B: OK. My hair is getting dry and the ends split a lot recently.

H: Let me see.... Hmm, you should have a special steam treatment. It's free.

B: Thank you.
