During this time, the business of a hairdresser in Hangzhou was very hot.
It was only past nine o'clock in the morning, and the three seats in the small shop were already full, and there were still four or five people waiting in line, filling the store to the brim.
The clerk said that the period before the Chinese New Year is their "peak season", and the busiest time is until 11 p.m. to help customers perm and dye their hair.
As the saying goes: if you have money or not, shave your head for the New Year. ”
As the Spring Festival approaches, barber shops on the streets of Hangzhou have also started the "Chinese New Year mode", and many stores have entered the busiest time of the year.

The list of pure washing and blowing is not accepted now".
Some of the barbers have gone back to their hometowns, but there are not enough people in the shop, and the orders for pure washing and blowing are no longer accepted. On February 2, a week before the Spring Festival, the Chao News reporter visited several barber shops in Hangzhou, large and small, and put forward the request that he just wanted to wash and blow it, but the reporter was politely rejected by many barber shops, the reason was basically too late.
In the barber shop not far from the center of Hangzhou, the reporter saw that several customers in the queue in the shop had already sat down. The clerk told reporters that as the Spring Festival approaches, several barbers in the shop have returned to their hometowns, and the existing barbers are busy every day, "It's too late to help customers perm their hair." ”
A beauty salon on Chengxing Road closed early on February 1. In a barber shop on Zhonghe South Road, the owner did not refuse the reporter, but "perm and dye priority" and "move the small order back." ”
Today, I alone have to do six or seven clients' hair. Brother Li, a stylist at a barber shop on Stadium Road in Hangzhou, said that he would return to his hometown tomorrow and send a reminder on WeChat Moments today, asking old customers who want to do hair to get their hair done as soon as possible.
However, the store will still be open until February 8, which is the 29th day of the lunar month. He said.

The barber shop on Stadium Road has been open for several years, and there are many regular customers, Ms. Cheng is one of them, she said that she is usually busy with work, although she knows that there are many people who do hair before the Spring Festival, but it has been delayed until now, "I took a look at it at half past eleven, there is no vacancy, let me come again in two hours, and I went to see it again at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still full." ”
The barber originally asked me to make an appointment in advance before I came, but I was delayed for half an hour, missed the appointment time, and now I can't stand in line. Ms. Cheng was a little depressed, "Come back in the evening." ”
New Year's price increase"?
Quite a few barbershops carry out the "old **".
I didn't have a membership before, I cut my hair for 30 yuan once, and I went to the same store for a haircut the day before yesterday, and told me that it was the New Year, and the price was going to increase. "Mr. Wang, who works in the west of the city, just came to work in Hangzhou, and in order to save money, he specially chose a barber shop in the community," I forgot to ask more before cutting my hair, but I didn't expect that the barber shop I often go to has already listed the 'Spring Festival price'. ”
Before the holiday, I was charged 50 yuan for a haircut, which I thought was too expensive, although it only increased by 20 yuan, but it was actually equivalent to doubling it. Mr. Wang didn't understand.
Scalding bangs is now almost the same as scalding the whole head, and it costs four or five hundred yuan. A customer who was perming his hair in a barber shop said that the ** of the haircut did not rise, but a project like a perm bangs was counted as a perm on the whole head, and it felt like a disguised price increase.
So, is it that all the "washing, blowing and shears" have increased in price before the holiday? The reporter visited a number of barber shops and learned that there are still many barbershops that implement "old **".
As before, our guests here are all residents of the community, and we are embarrassed to raise prices during the holidays. A hairdressing shop opened in an old community in Hangzhou, the clerk said, washing and blowing is 20 yuan, ordinary shears is 50 yuan, basically has always been this price, "the store business in the past two days is good, many old customers are here for us at the door, the price is a little more affordable." “
The hairstylist of another hairdressing chain on Xinhua Road also said in an interview that they will not raise prices before the holiday, and the price list has every item, "It will be open until February 7, and the eighth day of the Lunar New Year will resume normal business." ”
Some clerks also said that the store's pre-holiday business is not so good, and it may go back from the holiday earlier than in previous years, and the business hours are subject to the store's WeChat notice.
There will be no price increase during the Chinese New Year, and Dianping*** can also be used as usual. A clerk said that because the Spring Festival is approaching, appointments are usually full, and it is best to make an appointment a few days in advance to do the project.
