Nowadays, the "One Yuan Haircut" service has attracted a lot of popularity for Li Xin's barber shop, and many people will always come and wait in line on that day.
However, the high popularity also brought "trouble" to Li Xin.
Li Xin said that family members and some employees did not understand the "one-yuan haircut" service at first, because they would face problems such as increased costs and long queues for normal customers.
"At first, I didn't understand why I wanted to do a 'one-dollar haircut' service, because everyone relies on haircuts to support their families, but after every haircut for the elderly and children, a 'smile' and a 'thank you' are very gratifying. "Guo Kaimin, an employee of Axin Beauty Salon, said that this is the customer's affirmation of our service, which makes everyone more convinced to stick to this matter, because it is very meaningful.
