Description
"You're gonna be my finest work yet, Mummy!""Oh, naturally, darling." Rarity let out a wistful sigh as her tiny daughter clambered over her. "You've got my genes, after all, fabulousity practically runs in your veins, my dear!"
In the background, Applejack watched Magnolia May turn Rarity's beloved, sleek mane into a hackneyed, uneven rat's nest. She wondered if she should say something.
"....Uh. Rares?" AJ said gently, "I know you wanna be supportive, sugarcube, but I think Maggie might be gettin a lil' um, exuberant-"
"Passion is the root of artistry, Jackie, darling." Rarity peeked out of her blindfold to shoot a coy wink at the farmer mare. "The more passion our daughter has, the better! Now let our little artist work, won't you?"
"But she's cuttin' off all your-"
"I shan't hear another word on it, Applejack." Rarity smiled peacefully, readjusting her blindfold. "Have at me, Magnolia! Give me a new look that'll make all the ponies in town stop and stare!"
Not the best choice of words there, Rare, Applejack thought.
Still, Magnolia was happy, and Rarity was happy, and that was almost enough for Applejack to hold back a wince as another hank of purple hair was crudely slashed off. Applejack trotted over and pressed a fond kiss to her daughter's forehead, then to Rarity's cheek, then ambled away, to hide from the inevitable hellfire and screeching that would be unleashed once that innocent, pretty blindfold was finally taken off.

Magnolia May might be the greatest beauty artist that Equestria has ever known. Unfortunately, even the best artists had to start somewhere, and make a few mistakes along the way...ahem. Don't worry, Rarity. It'll all grow back. Eventually.
rarity of course freaked out once she got a glimpse of her destroyed mane in the mirror, but she had to stifle her screaming and feign satisfaction so as not to crush her filly's dreams of hair styling. Rarity and Aj are good mommas

"-What do you mean you can't grow it back?!?!?"
"Rarity; hair manipulation is really advanced magic as is; it took me two years before I was really ready to attempt moustaches! Regrowing and styling an entire mane like this would require an extensive amount of time and effort! Time that I don't have right now. Things have never been busier for me with my duties; so I can't commit a solid month to fixing up your mane. Your best bet would be to shave it all and let it regrow naturally-"
"OH YES! So much easier; what with the damage to my social standing; business prospects AND relationship with my daughter! Do you know what the first thing Magnolia said to me after I removed my eyepatch? 'I ruined it, didn't I?' There is; ABSOLUTELY, no way I am returning to that red-eyed filly without having my mane she cut looking POSITIVELY FABULOUS! For my sake; and her self-esteems!"
"β¦Rarity, I'm not fixing your mane. I'm sorry, but this seems like an important; albeit harsh lesson for Magnolia to learn aboutβ¦well, learning. And the mistakes that can come with that territory."
"Hmph! Fine, be that way! If you need me; I will be readingβ¦'Star Swirl's guide to Life, the Universe and Haircare' and mastering your so called 'Advanced Hair Magics'; by the end of today! You'll see! I won't damage my daughters self-esteem yet!"
"Well, good luck; because that's volume 1 of 7; and volume 4 is twice as long as that one. I have important Princess duties to take care of." *Trots off*
"Guh! If that mare had just an ounce more arrogance; well, she might rival half of Discord's! Ha-ha!"
"Hardly; she barely comes up to a fourth of my rather impressive well of self-importance; if we're being technical."
"D-Discord!"
"The very same! Before you ask, I happened to detect a certain purple princess projecting preposterously precocious amounts of pony peremptory! So naturally I came by. There's something positively alluring about that mare's sense of self-righteousness; draws me from across dimensions, I swear!"
"Eugh."
"Now, I understand you have a bit of a mane problem; and seeing as we're SUCH good friends-"
"Oh, yes! Do it! Make my mane fabulous; any means necessary! No price is too high!"
"β¦y-you're not even going let me make an ominous comment? I mean, you know there's some sort of catch to this-"
"Yes, obviously; I am well aware of your usual schtick. And as I said so long as my little girl knows that she can make mistakes and still keep her sense of pride I've gotten everything I wanted. So; do your worst! Or, well, best in this particular case."
"Fine, jeez; just take all the fun out of this for me why don't you." *Snap*
