Permanent Nobara

[Don Brown]

The title doesn't work well as a direct translation - it's actually the name
of the hairdressing salon owned by the mother of the protagonist, and the
"permanent" refers to a permanent wave, or perm, which is the hairstyle
commonly worn by her mother's clients (and her mother). I don't remember if
Nobara is the protagonist's surname, as she and her mother are only referred
to by their first names, but if it is I think that would make more sense.
