[Explanation] Under the epidemic situation, many people "home" at home for more than a month, and finally can't bear their own hairstyles. "What happens if the barber shop doesn't open again?" This topic has been widely discussed on online platforms. In recent days, barber shops in many cities have opened their doors to welcome customers, making full preparations for the "February 2" haircut peak. A barber shop in Jinan, Shandong Province, launched a “non-contact haircutting” service during the epidemic. Teachers “Tony” wore protective clothing, medical gloves and other protective supplies for customers who came to cut their hair.

[Explanation] On February 24, the reporter saw in the Shibuya shape located on Foshan Street, Jinan, Shandong, that in the barber shop of nearly 300 square meters, the hairdressers were wearing "protective clothing", wearing protective hats, goggles, etc. Equipment kept busy. The store's manager, Nie Yanxu, said that since opening on February 10, he has been taking an appointment to make haircuts to avoid customers getting together.

We adopt an appointment system, and we will make separate appointments for guests. Each guest is separated by more than 1.5 meters to prevent infection. We first prepared a cochlear temperature gun. The customer will disinfect him before he comes, and take a temperature measurement (and) register it.

[Explanation] As a young man after the "90s", Nie Yanxu introduced a "contactless haircutting" service in addition to implementing protective measures similar to most barber shops. He told reporters that due to the increasing number of customers who have made appointments for hair cutting recently, in order to ensure the health of the guests, he came up with this novel method of hair cutting.

In response to this epidemic, we have also launched a non-contact haircut. Our staff will wear gloves, masks, and goggles, including headgear and protective clothing, to prevent infection. Although it is said that the difficulty factor of wearing gloves (hair cutting) will definitely be greater than usual, but in order to protect the safety of our guests, we also do our best to do our best to make every hairstyle.

[Explanation] The reporter saw in the barber shop that every time the hairdressers cut their hair for customers, they would disinfect the haircut related appliances such as seats, mirrors, hair clippers, and other auxiliary tools such as neck paper and cloth Supplies. Nie Yanxu said that although the recent operating costs have increased relatively, there has been no increase in fees.

During the epidemic, we charge the same as usual, and there is no change. The shampoo, haircut, and perm are the same as before. Although it may be said that there may be some increase in operating costs, we can overcome these difficulties.

[Explanation] Regarding the "contactless haircutting" service launched by the store, many customers said that this method of haircutting is very safe during the epidemic.

Basically, I haven't been away since the Spring Festival, and my hair has always been messy. I inadvertently saw this store in a circle of friends without contact. I wanted to try it and see that their equipment was particularly secure in all aspects. Looking at my current hairstyle, it is quite satisfactory to cut it.
