Q: Is having a ridiculously full head of hair a prerequisite for being a hair stylist in China?
Forgetting about their western-perceived effeminate-ness for a moment, I'd like to know if there are certain "hair-based" job prerequisites for male hairstylists in China (after all, there are "appearance" requirements for lots of other jobs here already). Every time I go, these guys are sporting straight-out-of-anime hairstyles. Ridiculous as they may be, they all seem to have really full heads of hair, which is quite different from the thinning/balding guys I tower over on the bus each day.
Do the bosses hire with this in mind? Are the guys required to sport such outlandish hairdos? I feel like there is an entire subculture to hair salons here that I don't quite understand.
And why the hell are these places open until the early morning hours?
They experiment on eachother...hence the mops, the orange dyes (gingers all around) and the "I just got smacked upside the head" doos. Open until the wee small ones because a) some of them offer more 'services' than just bad haircuts b) a lot of people cannot get off of work until their boss leaves for the KTV c) after playing WOW for eight hours straight, you may feel compelled to get your rug cut a la anime.
Come to t hink of it, I have NEVER seen a bald hairstylist in my life.....
Barbers yes. Stylists.....
Who cares how long they are open! It's their business....once you have your business you can do whatever you want with it. And the barber shop that I go to the guy in charge is bald while the other stylists have hair. Don't be too quick to judge!
yes and having bleached skin is a prerequisite for working as a seller in the clothes shopping district near the zoo
There is actually a very popular bald hair stylist in the town I'm in. I hear he's from H.K and all the girls seem to dig him too..
