Pay more to cut hair during chinese new year period. Why?
-
After so many years, there is one thing that puzzles me. How come the period before chinese new year , those chinese barber shop charges more for a haircut?
the shop at my shop normally charge $8 but these few weeks to chinese new year it's $10.
do hair salon charge more as well during this period? -

no price increase
but i feel like cutting again leh.... -
Coz most of them are Malaysians...they will need to go back early to celebrate too...but because they are staying back to continue the few days of business...they will charge higher...and most people book at the last min...

becos most shops will be closed for up to 1 week for celebrations and thus the surcharge is to cover for the loss of biz for that period together with bonuses for the employees....

no please don't be mistaken/misunderstood.Originally posted by Jem777:$2 also want to kpkb
i'm only questioning the rationale behind this charge.
i find it strange that when the barber says he'll charging $2 more because of the festive season, no one question him or anything and just pay him the $2 more.
but when the government (or relevant authorities) incresases GST or anything, it will sure cause an uproar.
lets continue discussion in a peaceful manner. thanks. cheers. have a nice day. good luck and take care. -
Let's have a civil discussion then. Let's see, how long would the increase in hair price be. Two weeks? A month at most. And that is to tide over the loss incurred when they close the shop. As for GST, it's over a long period. Which would have a more drastic effect?Originally posted by Gordonator:no please don't be mistaken/misunderstood.
