Humble hairdresser makes a splash — and some mistakes

"For each client, my intention is to cut the hair to the best of my ability and not add things that they do not want or like, and that's probably the reason that many of my clients come back for me," she said.

Faced with great popularity, Xiaohua said she does not consider herself a professional hairdresser. She believes there are many more hairdressers who have better skills.

She learned to cut hair from her husband, who is also a hairdresser. As long as a person cuts enough hair and makes enough mistakes, they can grasp the techniques, she said.

She mostly cuts hair for male customers and charges 30 yuan ($4) for each haircut. She serves about 30 customers a day and is fully booked through the end of the year.
