Tony's teacher methodology～

For haircuts, I originally only hoped for it not to be a disaster, but this time I unexpectedly also attended a class on "How to Become an Excellent Person."

Entering the store, the usual process: take off my glasses, wash my hair, and then communicate my needs with Tony.

—— What kind of cut do you want?

—— Usually, I just wash and blow dry, help me cut it a bit shorter and trim the sides.

—— Don’t make it too short, right?

—— Right, in terms of length, I usually cut once a month, you can cut it how you think looks good.

Tony started working, but his speed was surprisingly slow; he was the most laid-back barber I’ve encountered in years.

His meticulous approach made me suspect he might be a rookie, but there was nothing I could do but close my eyes and rest, quietly feeling sorry for my hair and wallet.

When he was finishing up, he handed me my glasses so I could see the result, and wow, it was quite nice.

I said it looked good, and then Tony’s "methodology" came!

Tony: After you go back, take a photo of your hairstyle in front of the mirror. On one hand, it’s because it’s hard to clearly describe what you want; photos can substitute for that; on the other hand, if there’s something you’re not satisfied with, you can remember it yourself. After doing this repeatedly, it will get better and better.

After hearing this, I was directly shocked: for the first time, Tony was talking to me about theory and practice, and the idea of "getting better each time" perfectly matched my belief in "iteration."

The story isn’t over.

Just as I was pondering how to take a selfie, Tony took out his phone and started recording a video of me.

I felt warm inside: wow, he’s even helping me film!

So I asked him: Is this for me?

Tony: No, this is for my own records. I also want to see where I can improve for next time. If you want, I can send it to you later.

At that moment, I only had two words in my mind: wow.

It turns out Tony not only teaches customers how to improve but also optimizes his own work methods, iterating himself to become a better person.

Then, I gave Tony a wave of compliments and wrote a little essay praising him on Meituan!

Finally, I hope both Tony and I can get better each time!
