Every year before the Spring Festival, there are always some prescribed actions full of rituals to do, such as "taking a bath" for your car, cleaning your home, and treating yourself to a "three-piece New Year's suit...... According to previous years, due to factors such as shortage of manpower, many services will increase in price appropriately before the year, and some may be difficult to make appointments. Today, the Orange Persimmon Interactive reporter is divided into several ways to explore the market for you.
There is an additional manual fee for doing nail art
Some stores were already full years ago
With just over a week to go before the Chinese New Year, have you prepared a "three-piece set for the Chinese New Year"? In order to celebrate the New Year beautifully, many people have been busy preparing a three-piece set of manicures, eyelashes, and hairdressing in the past two days.
Recently, the price of three-piece sets has also quietly risen, especially for nail art, which may have to pay an extra manual fee than usual. Yesterday, "Nail salons began to charge Spring Festival fees" was also on the hot search.
"The appointments were fully booked a year ago, and the beauticians are working overtime these days. If you come to make an appointment last week, you may be able to squeeze in one or two spots. A staff member of Peacock Hand Nail and Eyelash Care said that they have nearly 20 stores in Hangzhou, and all of them have been fully filled recently.
In addition to the difficulty of making appointments, since last week, some nail salons have begun to charge Spring Festival manual fees.
Today, in a nail and eyelash salon located in the west Taihe Center of Hangzhou, nail technicians are busy working. The nail technician said that from last week to February 25, an additional manual fee will be charged during the Spring Festival: 60 yuan of manual fees are required to do nail art, of which 40 yuan will be made up for the nail and eyelash groups, and 60 yuan will be made up for the nail film group.
Another nail salon not far away has also charged manual fees since last week, and the charging standard is 39 yuan for the nail and eyelash repairs, and 50 yuan for the nail films.
Some stores charge manual fees at different times before and during the Spring Festival. For example, a nail salon in Xixi Tianjie needs to pay an additional 30 yuan for manual work from January 26 to February 1. From February 2 to 16, it was 60 yuan.
Membership cards and group purchase coupons are suspended for haircuts
The men's barbershop is "bursting".
As one of the "three-piece sets", the haircut also ushered in a peak of consumption on the eve of the New Year, as well as a "routine" price increase.
This morning, the three barber shops in the vicinity of Wulin Square all had to queue up, waiting for as little as an hour and as long as three days after making an appointment.
"It's been really busy lately, and it's been open until 10 o'clock every night. The main reason is that there are many customers who come to do dyeing and perming, and it takes several hours to do it, and there is a hairdresser who has gone back for the New Year. The barber of a barber shop on Stadium Road said that their shop has been open for six or seven years, and the customer base is relatively fixed, and the old customers know that at this time of year, they add 10 yuan for washing their hair and 20 yuan for haircuts, and the price of perm and dyeing does not increase.
A search on online platforms shows that many barbershops in Hangzhou have canceled member specials and group purchase prices during the Spring Festival, and haircuts cost at least 20 yuan more.
To the boss's surprise, there were a lot of male clients who did styling before this year. A men's barber shop in Shangcheng District has opened an online appointment mode in the past two days, "A men's barber shop like ours usually has more than 10 orders at most on weekends, and there are 20 or 30 customers every day this week." There are no more people. ”
The boss said that according to the requirements of the brand, the chain stores in Hangzhou have adjusted their pricing uniformly this week, and the membership card and group purchase cannot be used, and the membership price of 38 yuan is found to be 68 yuan according to the original price.
Appointment bookings have more than tripled
Deep cleaning of the whole house is the most popular
"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to make an appointment, and the price has increased. "On Monday, Qin Qin, a post-00s girl, sent a WeChat appointment to clean the whole house. However, the eldest sister who has been to the door before not only is almost full in all time periods, but the price has also risen from 45 yuan/hour to 60 yuan/hour.
Xiao Xie, who was born in 85, started cleaning Zhang Luo's house half a month ago. "I know that the good cleaning staff before the holiday are in demand, and I specially made an appointment early this year. As a result, one of the two companies that usually place orders expired a year ago, and the other raised the price. In the end, she found a comprehensive life service platform, and there was a 9.3% discount at that time.
Today, when she opened the page again to introduce to the little sisters, she found that all cleaning services had been added to the Spring Festival dispatch fee. The dispatch fee for the Spring Festival is 58.5 yuan for 3 hours of deep cleaning, and the dispatch fee for the Spring Festival is 116.7 yuan for 5 hours of whole house cleaning......
"After a wave of preferential activities on Double 11 last year, the reservation orders before February 6 came in one after another. The peak period began in December last year, with a daily average of more than 60 orders per month, which has more than tripled in the past two months. Shao Gang, the head of the Hangzhou review housekeeper team, revealed that the orders had already been filled before the year, and a lot of them were pushed off.
The new housekeeping company focuses on butler service, and most of the nearly 30 home health managers were born around 1999. "They are all from New Hangzhou. Therefore, we will have a collective holiday after making the last order on February 6, and we will go back to our respective homes for the New Year, and we will open again on the sixth day of the first month. ”
Right now, it's the busiest day of the year for this group of young people, and the latest one recently worked until half past one in the morning the next day. The company also raised their wages for them, doubling them.
Shao Gang said that the most popular service before the Spring Festival is the deep cleaning of the whole house + storage and finishing + home appliance cleaning, "80% of our customers here are young people, and they will take advantage of the whole house cleaning before the festival to do the storage and finishing of the spring and winter seasons." ”
The errand boy took 20 orders in the morning
Most of the battery cars are New Year's goods
Approaching the Spring Festival, the errand boy ushered in the busiest time of the year, and at the same time, they are also facing a situation of many orders and insufficient capacity. Recently, many errand boys have to work more than ten hours a day.
Xiao Yu, a guy from Hangzhou, is doing camping-related work, and he usually does some errands part-time. The camping business was light in the cold weather, and at this time the part-time job became his full-time. Xiao Yu is still a Buddhist, and he gets off work every day when he runs enough to meet his expectations, but he can't get up these days, and the business volume has increased a lot, "Some foreign brothers haven't gone home for several years, and they plan to go home for the New Year this year, and there are a lot fewer people in the company." I have received a lot of long-distance orders these days, and I ran more than 20 kilometers yesterday, and full-time errand runners are not willing to take this kind of order. ”
Staying in Hangzhou for the New Year's errand brother is also very hard, want to take advantage of this opportunity to do more, Xiao Yu heard that some people have to work more than ten hours a day, "these days to send a lot of New Year's gifts, seafood gift packages, sauce gift bags, but also sent some iPads and mobile phones and other electronic products, some people in the field can not go back to Hangzhou for the New Year people will also send some flowers and New Year's goods to the family, sometimes the battery car can not fit." ”
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Meituan errands, flash delivery, SF City and other errand platforms showed that errand orders of about 3 kilometers have different premiums, the cheapest one has a price increase of 5 yuan, and the most expensive one has a price increase of 18 yuan.
The Orange Persimmon Interactive reporter tried to place an order to buy from the Malaysian Lane Gang to the newspaper, the whole journey was about 4km, and no one took the order until the 5-minute countdown was almost over and the price was increased by 10 yuan red envelope. Master Li, who received the order, said that the number of orders in the past few days is also very large, and he ran almost 20 orders in one morning.
Car wash prices have generally risen
The rain delayed the peak to next week
In the new year, the car should also be clean. Every year when the Spring Festival is approaching, the business of car washes will usher in the peak period, but it has rained in Hangzhou recently, and many people are waiting for the weather to clear up next week before washing their cars.
"Today, the car wash in our store is 70 yuan, usually 50 yuan, and the price has increased at the end of the year. In the past two days, few people have made a special trip to wash the car, all of them are for maintenance, and then they are washed incidentally. The guy of a chain car maintenance shop in Gongshu District, Hangzhou, said that their store is closed in accordance with the national statutory holidays, and there are many customers who want to drive long distances back to their hometowns during the New Year, and they will come to maintain the car in advance to rest assured, and the simple car wash is estimated to usher in the peak period next week, and almost all the people in the store will be busy washing the car.
The owner of another chain of car maintenance shops said that they expect to stay open for business during the Chinese New Year, and now the car wash is 50 yuan for cars, and the larger ones such as SUVs cost 60 yuan, which is 10 yuan more expensive than the usual price. The owner of another store also said that the price will increase by 10 yuan next week, "At the end of each year, it will be appropriately increased, because there is a shortage of manpower, and there are too many orders to take it." ”
