A worker in a barbershop

Wen | Cao Chunmei

The barber shop downstairs is a chain store. The manager was a shrewd woman, in her early thirties, with long braids, and a group of younger lads who kept the store running.

The hair is washed so clean that it can be kept for three to four days. Before the Spring Festival, the store manager helped me perm my collarbone hair, which was very beautiful. After washing my hair once, I found that I couldn't take care of it, so I went back to the store and asked the manager to help me blow my hair. The store manager blew all my hair out into a reverse warp shape. She doesn't use a hair stick or any other tool, just a comb and a hair dryer. Layer by layer, once at a time, trouble is trouble, but the next day remains unchanged, and even until the next time it is washed and blown, the hairstyle remains basically unchanged. I was amazed, and she smiled and said that this is the basic skill of a barber, and she demands this from the technicians in the shop. Gradually, every time I washed my hair, I had to go downstairs to blow my hair, so I got a card and washed and blew every three days, which slowly became a habit.

For a while, I somehow recorded videos frequently, and every time I went to look for her, she dressed me up quietly and beautifully. Blowing hair once is like a facelift, it turns out that the hair has such a big impact on a person, I dare not underestimate it since then.

As the days go by, I have more contact with the store manager, I like that she loves to laugh and talk, she told me a lot of her growth experience, such as getting angry with the teacher when she was in school, giving up the university entrance examination, and running to the field to learn beauty salons. Her father counted on her to study finance and accounting and help with the family business. Who knew that she had to learn hairdressing, and she couldn't turn back, fortunately she learned very well, and she got started in a few years, so her father simply got her to Korea, hired a translator and a teacher, closed management, let her study color science with peace of mind, and came back to sponsor the start-up funds to open a hair salon. The store manager Qingxiu smiled and his eyes were bent, which was very good-looking. See I love to listen, she said more. Most of the conversation revolves around her father, a super strong old man.

The manager is very dedicated, the craftsmanship is good, my hair is getting more and more beautiful, and the people are getting better and better. Like her fast-talking personality, I gradually developed the idea of investing and wanted to partner with her. If the years are quiet, invest a little money, run this barber shop with her, and see the manager every three days, how pleasant it will be. At that time, I was very eager for the store manager to work for a long time, the location was a good location, the craftsmanship was a good craftsmanship, and the store manager was also a cheerful and shrewd store manager.

Who knew that there was a trip, came back a few days later, and then went downstairs, and suddenly people went to the house empty. There are several theories, the most reliable of which is that she was forcibly moved elsewhere by her father to open a shop. Anyway, the manager was indeed gone, and I haven't seen her since. Only one unused membership card is left alone against the autumn wind.

The new store manager Ah Bao reopened the store at the original site, and I took the former Dynasty membership card with the expression of the old man, and was accepted by Ah Bao. Once the sea was shipwrecked as water, except for the Wushan Mountain is not a cloud.

Ah Bao helped me re-perm my hair, using the perm water he personally carried back from Japan. After the burn, somehow, dizzy, specially took sick leave, and slept at home for a morning. In the afternoon, I called Ah Bao to tell him about the symptoms, and Ah Bao was surprised and asked me to go back to the shop to massage the scalp. Ah Bao is also talkative, willing to chat with customers, the content of the conversation is mostly fashionable, young people's food, skin beauty and the like, relaxed, not annoying, I was dizzy, listened to Ah Bao's chat, and washed the hair of the sister a strong hand in the head and neck repeatedly massaged, the dizzy state is much better.

I added WeChat with Ah Bao to see that he didn't stay in the store all day like I thought to make money. He also travels to Beijing, eating with friends, shopping, and basking in his girlfriends. All are young faces, which attracted me, so I also learned about the life of the post-90s generation now. Work is important, but it doesn't come at the expense of life, and that's a flattering attitude. So after more than half a year, I went to perm my hair a second time. His hair was very hot, Ah Bao was young, and the customers in his eyes were also young, trying to dress up as much as possible to the girl. The times are advocating that women remain ageless, and we are in it, who doesn't want to stay young forever? Hairdressers are only a profession, but there is sometimes a connection between them and their customers. If a hairdresser sees a customer expressionless, he can't make a good haircut. It is not enough, only it is not thick and not light, and the heat is the best. Ah Bao is just right, warm, but not hot. With my hair done, girlish and matching my middle-aged age, I was satisfied and happy to go home. Make an appointment for a few days to care for your hair. After going back, somehow the next day I was sick again, I had a cold, I had to go to work, and I couldn't go to the appointment on the day of the appointment. Knowing that it was not his business, Ah Bao still said a lot of words of concern, expressed regret, and looked forward to the next time.

The next time, like an electric flint, I suddenly realized that the fate was exhausted, the money on the card had been spent, and I was about to move, and Ah Bao did not have to go there again. However, Ah Bao was affectionate, five or six years had passed, the shop was there, and Ah Bao was there. When her daughter grows up, she likes to go to Ah Bao to burn and dye, and every time she comes back, she is happy. Once I went to pick up my daughter and Ah Bao sent her to the stairwell. This young man after the nineties, tall, smiling and having a big dimple on his right cheek, seems to be filled with countless pleasures, he does not know that the former female store manager has done business here, and he has brought the same beautiful experience to customers in his way.
