WUHAN - For barber Xiong Juan, a recent easing of restrictions in the city of Wuhan, epicentre of China's coronavirus outbreak, means she is now busier than ever.
"It was so difficult to bear," said one client who only gave his surname as Ren, describing how his hair had grown too long since he last had it cut in December.Xiong worked at a hairdressing salon but, like hundreds of thousands of businesses across China, it had to shut due to government measures to stem the spread of the coronavirus, which as of Sunday had infected 81,470 people and killed 3,304 in mainland China, mostly in Wuhan.
"In a day, if it's a peak period, I might work from 8 am in the morning till 6 pm in the evening to cut the hair of 70 people," she said from an open-air square of a residential compound where she had set up a plastic chair for clients to sit in. She lets them see their final look via her iPhone camera.
