Jiang Hexi's haircut service focuses on providing excellent service and maximizing emotional value; technical skill is secondary.
"Uncle Li, your haircut is amazing! You look ten years younger now."
"It's mainly because Uncle has a good foundation. He's already handsome, and with this haircut, his looks are off the charts."
Chu Yang and Yu Xiangwan stood in front, checking the hairstyles and making wildly exaggerated claims.
The village bully Li Youtian, who always presented himself as a tough guy, was left awkwardly clenching his hands, looking completely bewildered and at a loss for what to do.
Jiang Hexi pinched a lock of hair between two fingers and snipped it away with a "snip snip," her movements were so swift and skillful that there was no trace of the clumsiness of a novice.
That's why she insisted on getting a buzz cut.
Long hair is all unnecessary; cut it however you like, with as much style as you want. The real challenge is shaving the head later on.
Jiang Hexi changed to the clipper head and strictly followed the area defined in the hairdressing tutorial, adjusting the clipper to a length of 3mm and pushing it horizontally against the direction of her sideburns.
At first, she did a decent job of styling her hair, but when she switched to the other side, things started to get out of control, with one side always ending up with an extra layer of hair.
After being reminded by Yu Xiangwan, she repeatedly trimmed her hair, but in a moment of carelessness, she cut her right side hair close to her skin, causing the entire hairstyle to sag and become very conspicuous.
It's over.
Yu Xiangwan stood at the front of the line, blocking the uncles' view. Chu Yang pulled Jiang Hexi aside, looked around warily, and asked in a low voice:
"Sis, how are we going to clean this up after this haircut?"
“I received three large grass carp from Uncle Tian.”
Jiang Hexi said innocently, "At this time, I guess the aunt has already cleaned the fish and cut it into eight pieces on the cutting board."
Chu Yang was visibly panicked. "Uncle Li changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. Last time I mistakenly took him from the wrong pond, he almost hit me."
"In the end, they didn't do anything, so why are you panicking?"
Jiang Hexi instructed him, "Go ask the production team for my phone back. My master will cover for me if I don't cut my hair well."
Chu Yang quickly borrowed the phone back and made a video call.
After seeing the haircut Jiang Hexi gave him, Master Fang remained silent for a long time before resolutely stepping forward to sever all ties with her.
“I’m just the hairdresser who cuts your hair, not your master.”
Seeing that the people around her were completely confused, Jiang Hexi was extremely relieved that they couldn't understand Cantonese.
"But now the whole internet knows you're my master, so you can't deny it even if you want to."
"You are truly a misfortune for your sect."
Master Fang remotely instructed her, "Shave all the hair off the earlobes."
Jiang Hexi asked again, "Shave it all off?"
Master Fang didn't know how to criticize the hairstyle she designed; it completely overturned his aesthetic sense.
"Just do what I tell you to do, or your hairstyle is beyond saving."
Jiang Hexi strictly followed Master Fang's instructions; if she was told to cut an inch, she would only dare to cut an inch.
When she finished work, she made a stunning comeback, managing to turn a 15-yuan buzz cut from a street vendor into a 100-yuan one.
Yan Jie saw a crowd gathered in the courtyard, so he led his duck over, quacking as he went to see what was going on. When he saw Li Youtian's hairstyle, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The hair on both sides was shaved down to the scalp, with two long strips shaved from front to back, and a square tuft of hair was shaved out in the middle and combed back neatly.
Under Jiang Hexi's scissors, the village bully was transformed into a stylish middle-aged man.
"Uncle Youtian, stand next to Yan Wang for a moment, let me see the effect."
Jiang Hexi was bursting with confidence and brought out her most satisfying "work" to compare with Yan Jie.
As soon as Li Youtian stood next to Yan Jie, the uncles who had been gathered together saying how good the hairstyle looked all fell silent.
The difference in quality is immediately apparent.
Li Youtian was instantly annihilated, leaving not even a trace.
[Hahaha, the contrast between the buyer's show and the seller's show! Where does Xi Mei get her confidence to dare challenge the village bully's looks to the King of Hell?]
[It's a shame that Xi Mei even claimed to the public that this hairstyle was modeled after the buzz cut of the King of Hell...]
[This is clearly false advertising, but considering it's a haircut technique worth three grass carp, I held back.]
[The three business people are really good at creating entertaining content. To be honest, the technical sophistication of their hairstyles is far less than the level of their flattery. When it comes to generating revenue, they are definitely professionals.]
Poor Mr. Fang, getting a haircut and ending up with an apprentice like Xi Mei, the old man's reputation is definitely doomed.
Yan Jie was so angry that he wanted to go back to feed the ducks, but Jiang Hexi refused to let him.
She took a large cabbage from the burlap sack and stuffed it into his arms:
"You stand here and feed your ducks properly."
"Want me to be your hair model?"
He coldly rejected her, "Don't even think about it."
Jiang Hexi complained in a low voice:
"You know our current economic situation. Whether you stand in the back or in the front to feed the ducks, it's all the same. So why can't we do it?"
Yan Jie had no choice but to stand in front of her like a human billboard, silently tearing at the cabbage in his hand and silently feeding the two mallards.
Shen Yingyu was pleasantly surprised to see the long line stretching to the gate of his courtyard when he returned from cycling back from the village.
"I didn't expect Ximei's hair business to be so good. So many people came on the first day."
"Three cabbages are enough to get a haircut. All the uncles in the village who heard the news came."
As soon as Yan Jie finished speaking, Zhou Gongqi came over carrying a snakeskin bag as a "gift" and laid out the contents on the table one by one:
One pound of pork, ten duck eggs, five pounds of red beans, two pounds of bottled peanut oil, a jar of homemade sweet wine, and some fruits and vegetables.
The key point is that this is not the end.
Yan Jie started to calculate: "There are hundreds of households in the village. If I cut ten heads every day, I can save money on grocery shopping in the evening."
"Men's hair grows quickly, so it needs to be cut at least once a month. We can cut hair for men, women, young and old, and with the upcoming perm service, we'll have enough for our monthly living expenses."
Shen Yingyu looked at the live broadcast camera and said to the cameraman who was filming him:
"Does anyone on your show need a haircut? Sign up in advance, it's 30 yuan per person. Once you have a list of names, give it to me and I'll have Ximei arrange a time to give you all a haircut individually. If you're slow, you won't get a turn."
Director Chen, who was filming and monitoring remotely, wanted to remind him of how they had hurriedly avoided him with disgust when Xi Mei offered to cut their hair.
Liu Yuxi stood on the periphery of the crowd, observing the lively scene in the courtyard, unable to blend in no matter what she did.
Jiang Hexi has an innate charisma that easily wins everyone's favor.
Wherever she goes, she becomes the center of attention, with everyone revolving around her.
Effort is insignificant in the face of such a person.
Liu Yuxi particularly admires Jiang Hexi's life, but unfortunately, she is a hard-working person and can't resonate with people like that.
