S9·E11 Traveling Beauty Salon

“Beauty salon delivery” is rapidly expanding. “Visiting beauty services” provide haircuts and perms at the homes of people who find it difficult to go out, such as those in nursing care facilities. Mothers who say, “At least during my time at the beauty salon, I can be selfish,” and elderly people who bring photos from their youth to request their favorite hairstyles. When they see themselves with neatly styled hair, their expressions soften. Despite their aging bodies and daily fatigue, these people wish to be beautiful. This program explores the hope that lies beyond “beauty.”
