1. Barbers
1。理发师In India, a simple hair cut is anything but.Barbers will take their scissors to wayward eyebrows, tufts of ear hair and nostrils.That's just the beginning
在印度,理发一点都不简单。理发师会用剪刀修理眉毛,耳毛和鼻毛。这只是一个开始。
Once the customer is shorn, wet-wiped and toweled off, barbers begin a firm head, neck and shoulder massage, which can descend into facial slapping and skull-pounding known as "champi," which is where the word "shampoo" comes from.
一旦客户剪毛,湿巾及毛巾擦擦,理发师开始给头,脖子和肩膀进行按摩,接着面部拍打以及敲打颅骨,称之为“champi”,这是“洗发水”这个词的来源。

警告:他们标志性的动作是扭脖子,第一次会被吓到的。
