The nail salon "Treasure of Town Shop" is a man
This is a very inconspicuous nail salon in the north of Chengdu, with a square meter and simple decoration. On February 2, 2112, the reporter cleaned, shaped, maintained and baked his nails here until he finally got a hand cream massage ... The manicurist kept his head down, occasionally spoke very softly, with slender fingers and quick but gentle movements, which made people feel that what he polished in his hand was not a fingernail, but a fragile work of art. Until the nails were pink and translucent, Liang Wanfang took off the mask on his face and smiled and asked, OK, are you satisfied? This street is mixed with several restaurants and a dazzling array of clothing stores. Just ask "looking for a male manicurist" and you will soon hear about this store. There are always ***5 staff members in this small shop, only Liang Wanfang is a man, who is both the boss and the "treasure of the town shop". Customers often come from the west gate and the south gate to find the "legendary" male manicurist with exquisite craftsmanship. The competition in the nail industry is becoming more and more fierce, or because of this, Liang Wanfang is reluctant to disclose the income of his small shop, but what makes people happy is that he has planned to expand the shop in April because there are too many guests.
The guests were very worried that
35-year-old Liang Wanfang, who is tall, wears a cap and has a calm voice, is an out-and-out "big man" in any way, and he is the kind of man who is very civic, but he has been "nesting" in this 31-square-meter shop for eight years. In 2111, a good female friend told Liang Wanfang: "You like makeup and have a quiet personality, which is suitable for manicure." At that time, the manicurist was a new profession, which did not exist in Chengdu. "The male manicurist is a rare animal." Liang Wanfang said. However, he went to see a friend's shop in Chengdu, but he was tempted. Then he traveled thousands of miles to Beijing for training. "As it turns out, it is not easy for men to break into the women's industry." At the beginning of opening a shop in this street in 2112, the shop was supported by Liang Wanfang alone. At that time, when female customers saw him as a male manicurist, they were still embarrassed to "hand over" their hands. Their worries were written on their faces: Are you doing well? The nail industry is a trivial manual work, which is easy to learn but difficult to master. The boss himself must be proficient in every procedure and step. "You must be careful, unlike cutting your hair, because your nails are small. If you don't pay attention, you will cut your skin and bleed."
Men's manicure suggestions are more popular
It has been 8 years since he joined the profession, and Liang Wanfang decided that manicure is his lifelong hobby. Every time he finishes a nail, he will communicate with customers, ask their feelings and ask their opinions. While the customers are waiting, he still chats with them like a friend, from trivial matters to national affairs. 41 minutes, 1 hours, the time for customers to do their nails slipped by gently. "No wonder he is so popular." The female manicurist in the shop sighed: men are cautious, and women are far behind. Liang Wanfang carved this kind of detail into his heart. Customers who come in, he should observe attentively, clothing, temperament, occupation. "At first glance, it's close." Liang Wanfang has this confidence. When he looks at his hands, his heart will match the shape and color of his nails. Exquisite and elegant are suitable for office workers, while students like bright colors. Observation in place, 11 customers finished, 11 have no opinion. Liang Wanfang also told reporters that female customers are actually more willing to listen to the opinions and suggestions of male manicurists.
Successful men pay attention to nail art
In my impression, manicure and nail polish have always been a "patent" for girls, but the reporter met a man in his forties in Liang Wanfang's nail salon yesterday. "I haven't been here for a long time. I have too much dead skin. I need to trim it." He smiled and said that naturally he put his hands on the stage. Some fashionable men in Chengdu have also begun to join the ranks of manicure, and the number of male guests in Liang Wanfang's shop has increased significantly. Most of them are middle-aged successful people. "Men's manicure is not unusual, because many men with status in Shanghai and Beijing regularly ask manicurists to trim and care for their nails. Trimming your nails neatly can reflect your health. When shaking hands and handing things, they will give people a good impression. " Liang Wanfang thinks that people with financial ability are low-key but pay attention to details, which is also the reason for the increase of male customers. Although male manicurists are rare in Chengdu, as far as the whole country is concerned, male manicurists are not new: according to industry estimates, male manicurists have accounted for about 11% of employees. In the national annual "Top Ten Manichaeists" selection, 6-8 male manicurists are selected every year.
