Welfare service facilities in Pyongyang have been renovated to give pleasure to the citizens.

According to data available, the service environment and conditions of over 300 barber shops, beauty salons and tailor shops in the city have been upgraded in the past two years.

The Pyongyang Municipal People’s Committee, on the basis of a survey of the population and the situation of service units in the relevant areas, created a model unit and disseminated its successes and experience.

The barber shops and beauty salons in Central and Phyongchon districts were renovated to suit modern aesthetic tastes. In Songyo District, the barber shop and beauty salon on Chongnyon Street and the Mujin bathhouse were refurbished and hair-washing machines equipped with hot shower were installed in front of barber chairs.

Taedonggang District has improved the hygienic environment and service level of barber shops, beauty salons and bathhouses in cooperation with relevant units.

The projects for renovating the Songbuk beauty salon in Moranbong District and the Hasin barber shop in Sosong District, which were planned to be completed within this year, were finished ahead of schedule.

The renovated welfare service facilities are visited by many citizens every day.

The tailor shops which distinctively built product sample rooms and workrooms are crowded with customers.

Jo Kyong Ae, manageress of the Chollima Street Tailor Shop under the Central District General Tailor Shop, said that she feels a great pride in being a servant of the people when customers gladly try on new clothes made at the shop, adding she would work to provide a better service to the residents.
