Nishihara San-A City and QB barber

San-A group, whose founder is Okinawan, has many brunches in Okinawa prefecture.
Their shops are mainly classified as two types. One is supermarket style which sells foods, commodities like detergents or tooth brushes or clothes. The other is a mall style which has several shops which are run by San-A or other companies. Needless to say, The malls are bigger than the supermarkets.

Nishihara San-A City is a mall, located in Nishihara town. It looks like wrong that there is a city in town but It is indeed called "city." There are many shops, which are clothes, a electricity appliance "DEO-DEO", restaurants, cafes including Starbucks and Mister Donuts,  a 100 yen shop "DAISO",  a book store, a photo studio, a massage service, and so on.

I sometimes go to the QB which belongs to a national barber chain in Japan. It is located near the Starbucks. They give us quick and reasonable services. To do these, They practiced their own system that is different from other barbers and I feel it a little odd and inconvenient. When you go there, you are going to buy a ticket from a ticket vending machine. But this can accept only 1,000 yen bill so that they don't need to prepare changes. Therefore you have to prepare a 1,000 yen bill before going there. This is why I said. They don't offer washing your hair or shaving your beard. After having your hair cut, your hair is vacuumed by a special vacuum, which is just for customer's head and never for the floor.  Although I have a complain about their service, It helps me to get things done in no time.

Another QB barber is in Naha San-A main city.
