it for you
but how do you want your hair cut

beard shave also
of course
how about i do some new trendy
hairstyles it’s trendy these days
i don’t think i’m suitable for it i’m
gonna stick with the old classic style
like in the past few months ago i tried
dyeing my hair
people said that it makes me look older
i understand everyone suits different
hairstyles
yes so when i get a chance i’ll try a
different hairstyle for now i will leave
it as normal
okay
now you can lower your back and relax i
will start now
cool
[Music]
done you can look through it again if
there is anything you want to change
tell me
[Music]
to be honest the beard is okay but the
hair is quite long
a bit shorter
i think this is longer than my
expectations
okay no problem anything else or just
that
no that’s the only thing the rest is
okay i guess
is it okay now
perfect that’s the hairstyle i really
want you’ve done a great job i really
like it
thank you

[Music]
situation three an appointment at the
barber shop
[Music]
good morning how can i help you
hi i want to have a hair dying
definitely yes but first can i know your
name to check the appointment
oh appointment the last time i came here
i didn’t have an appointment is that
right
yes actually you just need it to set in
order to be served better and faster
but if you didn’t i’m afraid you will
have to wait some time for your turn and
that is a little longer than usual if
you set an appointment first
tough break i didn’t even know that
well we started doing this last week
we’ve reminded customers through some
communication channels about this for
quite a time before
but i guess some of the customers are
way too busy to check that information
there are many people like you so don’t
worry
that’s right last week i was on the go
because of my deadlines at school maybe
that’s the time i missed your
information
right
so what should i do now do i need to set
an appointment now
if you have time you don’t need to do
that you can wait in line for your turn
great how long does it take
at the moment i think it will take you
about 20 minutes can you wait for this
time
if you are in a rush for somewhere else
i will help you to make an appointment
and you can come again later
in the time convenient for you
no today is my day off so i think i will
wait for it hope it won’t be too long
don’t worry please go to the table over
there and sit down to wait we have tea
cookies and magazines for you
okay i got it thanks a lot
you’re welcome
[Music]
situation for
a frequenter
[Music]
hey
long time no see jill
oh hey danny how are you these days
not too bad and is the business still
going well
you see
like any other business in the pandemic
my business wasn’t as usual
at the same time i still pay for the
rent expense monthly
me too my restaurant hasn’t had many
customers lately
most of them are at home because of
social distancing
it’s a good way but it makes it
difficult for business people like us
that’s really down on our luck
right but this pandemic appears suddenly
no one wants it
not only you and me but also some people
were no better
like a nightmare i hope we can manage it
luckily my house owner is really nice he
agrees to reduce the rent for me
wow such a lucky person you are
i should also make an agreement with my
landlord
yes you should do that
we have to try our best to manage the
situation
okay
anyway we have to go on with our normal
life
please help me cut my hair
of course do you still want to cut like
last time
right
okay i’ll do it right now
i will go to your restaurant for dinner
oh welcome or you can order food to take
home we have a delivery service
oh really is it new
yes one way to manage this situation
