First-year high school student Kiri Koshiba possesses remarkable hairstyling skills. Whenever someone gets picked on or mocked for how they look, she steps in and works her "magic," giving them makeovers that highlight their natural beauty. At Kiri's school, three second-year students form the popular Scissors Project (SP): Shougo Narumi, the hairstylist; Kei Minami, the nail artist; and Kazuhiko Ochiai, the overall beauty consultant. The SP carefully picks one female student each time for a makeover, turning out stunning results every single time. When Kanako Aoyama, Kiri's childhood friend, confesses her feelings to Ochiai by handing him a gift, she gets accused of trying to bribe her way into being chosen for the next SP makeover. Kiri jumps to Kanako's defense and performs her "magic" on her, leaving the SP completely astonished by Kanako's transformation. Not knowing who pulled it off, the SP sets out to find Kanako's hairstylist so they can challenge them to a haircutting duel—kicking off a rivalry between Narumi and Kiri.
