Original subtitles

Do Vietnamese shampoo girls make a lot of money?

Is their work difficult?

How do they spend their day?

Lao Huang will show you the first-person perspective today

The protagonist we are going to interview today

She is a post-00s

Her name is Lili

Southern Vietnamese

Currently working at the Cuibaiwan Hair Salon in Ho Chi Minh City

Because of her family situation

Also dropped out of school early (dropped out before finishing college)

Joined the Saigon Gold Rush

Became the city of Saigon

One of the countless fighters

Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam only has rainy season and dry season

Hot all year round

So basically the local women

Before riding a motorcycle

The city is fully armed

Wrap yourself tightly

So on the streets of Vietnam during the day

It will give people a very rural feeling

All motorcycles

And people who are wrapped up tightly

But at night

I believe that many men will see

Everyone will feel wow

The scenery is charming

To save more money every month

Lili chooses to live in a place close to her workplace

Rental house 15 kilometers away

far from the city center

And the houses in these alleys

The rent is relatively cheap

Equivalent to RMB 1,000-1,200

You can live in a very nice single room

What about this rental environment?

You can also understand it as the urban village in China

Na Lili's means of transportation

It's a Honda scooter

This scooter is pretty good in Vietnam.

At least compared to those underbone scooters that can be seen everywhere on the road

Looks more advanced

At least that's what the Vietnamese think.

To get more sleep?

Lili usually just buys some bread for breakfast

Bring it back to the store

Just kill some time

I started to devote myself to the busy work of the day.

Then go with Lao Huang and take a look

So what time do you usually arrive at the store?

I usually arrive at the store around 10 o'clock

So cool

hehe

So, sister, do you think it’s OK to work here?

Still good

Everyone gets along well

Is your boss OK?

Our boss is very nice.

So your salary is okay, right?

My salary is also okay.

How much money did you make in the month when you made the most money? (Lili had just started working there)

I made more than 10 million Vietnamese Dong.

So how many clients do you massage in your shop in a day when you are busiest?

Maybe 4-5 guests.

So, sister, do you like Ho Chi Minh City?

Uh~ I quite like it

You like it, right? Haha.

Is the bread delicious?

Delicious hehe

Brother, can you try a piece?

Try their Saigon bread

Why did you only buy a small piece of bread for breakfast?

Why don't you buy a bottle of milk?

I want to save more money by eating more

What will you do after saving money?

Maybe I'll buy a house or something.

Are you planning to buy a house in Saigon?

I'm not very clear about my future plans yet.

Anyway, let's just plan it first.

Why don’t you finish your breakfast first?

It's time to work, right?

Oh, it's time to go to work.

Just now you praised your boss as a good person

But you still continue to eat breakfast when it’s time because you’re afraid of being scolded by your boss, right? Hahaha

Our sister is going to start work now.

So, sister, this little bag is your means of making a living?

Yes, brother.

Then sister, can you introduce these tools to me one by one?

This box is used to store various tools for ear cleaning.

Ear cleaning tools for everyone

Let me see what's there.

This is massage oil

Why do I feel like it's almost finished?

Yes, it's almost used up. I'll add some later. Hahaha

Oh, so are consumables like this provided by the store or do you buy them yourself?

Our store offers

What about the massage parlors that Lao Huang went to?

The technician is required to buy it himself

Because the store is also worried that the technicians will waste

This is a possibility.

This pliers is used to cut nails for customers.

This is a nail polish strip.

How come this thing you bought is so cute?

Hahaha

This lamp is used when picking ears

Brother, I have been to many massage parlors. I have seen some massage parlors

Their ear cleaning lamp is very small and exquisite.

Very small, worn directly on the finger

So that's it

Sister, do you want to upgrade your equipment? I will help you buy it on Taobao.

Can

Yes, yes, yes

Wow, sister, can you speak Chinese?

I will say a little bit

A little bit

Then sister, can you introduce yourself in Chinese?

Uh~ hello everyone

My name is Lili

Today I am 25 years old

This year

This year

Hahahaha I am 25 years old this year

You are very beautiful～～Thank you

You are beautiful

Then Lili's work officially begins today

That's actually the so-called start of work.

Sitting in the lobby of the hair salon

Endless waiting

I wonder how many customers will come to the store today?

How many guests can Lili serve by herself?

How much do you earn today?

All of this is unknown

The waiting time is often boring and long.

Even a little anxious

So Lili usually will be at this time

Choose to watch some positive energy online videos

Let's kill some time

Hello

Hello, boss

I'm your fan

I often watch your YouTube channel

I have been in Ho Chi Minh City for four or five days.

I want to calm down today

Then I'll go back in the afternoon.

One more shot before takeoff? Right.

Be well~

Adjust your status

There are so many massage parlors in Ho Chi Minh

Why did you choose to come here?

Oh, I heard about this one.

Uh, a very good technician came recently.

Boss, please have some water.

So you're here for people.

Yes, yes, yes, yes

Thanks

So where does your store have more customers?

Our store mainly has more customers from the Chinese community.

There are also many guests from Singapore and Malaysia.

Then sister, the first step for you emperors to wash hair is to wash the customer's feet.

Wash the guests' feet first.

Then wash your face, trim your beard and apply a facial mask.

oh

What about this 111 Cuibaiwan hair salon?

It is also rare in Ho Chi Minh

This all-in-one shampoo and foot wash

This kind of hair salon

Lie down the whole time

Like this guy, there is no need to move.

Very comfortable

So, sister, which step do you think is the most tiring during the massage?

I think the most tiring part will be when I climb onto the massage bed.

The stretching and massage part is the most tiring, and it really tests the technician's technique and whether he can use leverage.

So, sister, how long did it take you to learn the massage skills?

I studied for maybe one or two months before I started working.

Oh, I studied for a month or two.

Yes

Brother, I personally think that ear picking is the most difficult to learn.

Yeah, that's right

It is indeed the most difficult to pick ears, our eyesight must be good

Disinfection is in place, and the hands must be skillful and know how to pick it comfortably.

Sister, you have a great figure

Sister, what is your educational background?

I studied at a junior college.

What major is it?

My major is hotel management.

Hotel management!

So, sister, what were your dreams when you were a student?

When I was still a student...

My dream at that time was to open my own coffee shop.

Be a coffee owner, right?

That's it? That's right.

So have you ever thought about finding a rich man?

No, I hope that I will be the one holding the steering wheel in my life.

Oh~

You must have had a relationship when you were in school.

Uh ~ yes haha

How long did you talk?

Uh, we've been together for about 3-4 years.

Have you been in love for so long?

Did you start from freshman year?

Yes

So what's the reason for breaking up?

Uh~~

The longer we are together, the more we find that we have different ideas.

Why don't you persist?

Because my fate with him is over.

When your connection with him ends, you will find connection with someone new.

That's right

Turn it over

Seeing you snoring the whole time

Hahahaha, yes

These days

This~~ Coming here to play really consumes a lot of physical energy (including the continuous gunfire)

To me, she seems to be quite talented.

yes

Compared with some other fancy stores

She is a technical talent.

You can obviously make a living by your looks

But I chose the most difficult way

I think you are quite good at managing your time.

Well, I feel comfortable here.

Then fly back home

Where are you flying back to?

Uh, I'm from Taipei.

Oh, so I'll fly to Taipei later.

Yes

Those brothers in Taipei

You can learn it

This kind of time arrangement of your Taipei brother

Know how to play

I suggest

The first stop after flying here is here

Then make yourself clean and handsome

Then go to KTV

Also more popular with girls

Why

I just saw that the front desk has group tours or something like that.

Have you reported it?

Uh, I have participated in some of their KTV group buys

They have a lot of traffic here.

Then there are a lot of these uh~ individual soldiers coming

Then I will sign up for this KTV group.

Then we can quickly get together

In twos and threes

Get together and play

There are also services like this

It's been a long time since I came to 111 Cuibaiwan Hair Salon~

No, no

Wait a minute

It's a bit like the free information center in Japan.

Hahaha, the consulting station looks like this

No, no

I'll ask the boss lady later.

The boss lady didn't tell me the truth

Oh, it really is~

In 90 minutes, I witnessed your amazing skills~

Brother, I fell asleep while taking pictures

Are you tired, sister?

It's also quite tiring, ~ it's still a bit physically demanding

Your method is OK

Yeah, thank you~

When I have time, brother, I must experience your skills as a sister.

It's time for lunch now. I'm going to eat. Brother, do you want to join me?

Okay, then I'll go have lunch with you.

OK

okay

Let's go eat, brothers.

It's time for us to eat.

Let's go eat with the lady now.

Good! Brothers!

It's lunchtime now.

I'm going to dinner with Lili

What about this morning?

Lili was a guest

So generally speaking there are more customers in the afternoon, right?

Yes, brother, generally speaking, there are more people in the afternoon.

So what do you usually eat for lunch?

For lunch I usually eat something soupy, which is easier to swallow.

Oh, so it's the powder ones.

Sister, have you ever been to China?

I haven't been there yet.

Do you want to go?

Of course I want to go!

So what is your impression of China?

The country has a very large area and is also very developed.

A very developed country, right?

What's your impression of Chinese boys?

Hahahaha I don’t come into contact with many Chinese boys, so I don’t know~

But brother, I am Chinese.

Hahaha, that's very cute~

Only one is left which is very cute haha

Is there anything else besides being cute?

That’s all?

No more hahaha

Brothers

The principle of proximity

There's a fast food restaurant here.

We are here

Eat their most classic one in Ho Chi Minh City

Workers' fast food com tam (this fast food is like pork trotter rice in China)

So how much money do you spend on food every month, sister?

3-4 million Vietnamese Dong (about 870-1150 RMB)

On average, it costs 100,000 Vietnamese Dong a day (about 27 RMB).

What about your rent?

As for my rent, because I share the house with others

It's only over one million Vietnamese Dong (400+RMB) a month.

So the money you save is for buying a house in the future, right?

That's right, hahahaha

So sister, why don't you plan to find a rich husband?

Then your husband buys you a house?

I still hope to take control of the steering wheel of my life

Brothers

This fast food is called com tam.

It is very famous in Ho Chi Minh City.

It is very famous in the south.

Eat first as a sign of respect

I've been hungry all day.

What about the pork ribs?

It's burnt

Very delicious

If I eat like this normally, will I feel full?

Yeah, it can fill your stomach.

What do you usually do after get off work in the evening?

Because it is always very late when I get off work, so I usually rest at home.

It's a good idea to hang out with friends once in a while.

Take a look

Why do Vietnamese girls maintain such a good figure?

See? There's no oil.

Very light

In Vietnam

Many girls have this kind of eating habits.

Soup and Water

They are all very light

Then sister, can you tell me about your ideal monthly income?

In the city of Saigon

More than 15 million Vietnamese dong per month (4400+RMB)

Then you can let me know.

What's your ideal other half like?

Just feel sorry for me, pamper me and be loyal to me.

Know how to take care of people

What about appearance? Do you need to be very handsome to be considered?

Just watch it.

Hahaha

Sister, you have been working hard in Saigon for quite a long time.

So what do you think is the biggest challenge you face in your life right now?

Or I am very satisfied with the present situation and don’t feel anything is wrong at the moment.

I feel that I am very satisfied and comfortable with my current life.

Very comfortable, yes

You work in your current hair salon. Does your boss put a lot of pressure on you?

No, our boss is a very good talker.

So I really like working in this store.

Then remember to bring me back to your hometown to play once in the future.

No problem, there are still many fun things to do in Dong Nai

After lunch

Lili returned to her hair salon to continue working

We agreed to meet after she got off work.

Let's go have dinner together

Continue to have in-depth discussions

One afternoon

Let's go back here and see how Lili is doing.

hello hello

hello

How many guests did you have today?

I served 3 customers in total.

I'll vote for you. Can you leave work early on weekdays?

Hahahaha, this question needs to be discussed with our boss first.

Now,

There's still about an hour left.

It's Lili's turn off time

What do you usually do after get off work?

I usually go shopping, eat something and then go home to rest.

Can I go out to eat with you tonight?

Okay, okay

Let's go eat

Now~Lao Huang

Follow Lili to eat her favorite Vietnamese beef noodles

Busy all day

I eat so light at night.

No wonder Vietnamese girls keep such good figures

Thank you very much for watching here.

Today we learn from Lili

Learned a lot

Things that everyone didn't know before

Or in other words

Some things that people don't bother to understand

Because many people come to Saigon

You will feel

Saigon is a place of constant bombardment.

The purpose is also to "fire and shoot"

But if there are time conditions

Please stop for a moment.

Learn about the local culture

It may be that everyone is in the "artillery journey"

A very interesting part.

Lili's personal story

It is also a microcosm of the thousands of Vietnamese shampoo girls in Saigon.

I felt optimism in her.

I saw her unknown future

An attitude that can face it calmly

Live every day seriously

Move forward with ideals and plans

In order to buy her own house in the future, Lili

The milk that should be in breakfast is also omitted

Although I don't advocate this unhealthy way of thriftiness.

But this is her as an ordinary worker

A way to increase revenue and save costs

Vietnam's housing prices are currently rising

The Emperor Shampoo and Massage Industry in Vietnam

It's getting more and more curly

The increasing demand for youth!

Compared with regular massage parlors

These girls working in the Emperor Hair Salon

The income is indeed higher

But this industry is indeed a youth meal.

But anyway

Lili still has a few years of youth

There are still unknown possibilities

Stay with her today

I was also infected by her calm attitude

I hope she has a bright future

all the best

If you like this series,

Next time, Lao Huang will give you a photo shoot.

The girl who relies on youth for her job has a "soft landing"!

And success story

Are you looking forward to it?

If you are looking forward to it, please tell Lao Huang in the comment section.

In addition, Lili works at Cuibaiwan Hair Salon

It is also a good hair salon in Ho Chi Minh.

If you go to Saigon

You must try it

OK! I'm Lao Huang.

Show you a different Vietnam

See you in the next video

After dinner, I ended the day feeling that Lili and I were so similar.

Different paths lead to the same goal, all of which are striving for a better life.

Including you who just finished a day's work in front of the screen, isn't it the same~
