[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a hairdressing service such as a barber shop or a barber shop, a customer visits a store and tells a barber the hairstyle he or she likes by verbal or photograph, and the barber tells the hair quality and appearance of the customer. In consideration of the hairstyle that meets the customer's demands, the most basic form is to start the actual hairdressing.

However, recently, there has been an increasing number of so-called "hair artist" beauticians who have an excellent artistic sense in hair-dressing techniques and perform hair styling by imagining the hairstyle most suitable for the customer. Among them, we often hear that nominations are inundated for top-class hairdressers who are called "selling girls".

[0004]

In the conventional general hairdressing service, a barber who has a free hand is in charge and makes a request to the barber unless there is a customer's appointment. Despite the fact that there are clear materials such as photographs and samples, it is quite possible that each barber receives a different image for an oral request, and as a matter of course, there are differences in the skill of each barber. Therefore, in such a form, the customer often complained about the actual haircut.

For this reason, hairdressing salons used by women often appoint a hairdresser in charge in advance. The basis of the nomination varies depending on the customer, such as "familiar", "excellent skill", "sense", but the above-mentioned "selling" hairdresser is flooded with nominations,
There is a limit to the number of people who can handle hairdressers a day, so there was a situation where they could not be in charge without reservation.

An object of the present invention is to solve such problems and to provide a hair styling service that allows a beautician who sells always to be in charge.
