Entrepreneur Opens Salons Where Customers Pay $41 an Hour to Be Gently Scratched
Zhang Xiaochao, 32, opened a salon in Shenzhen's Bao'an district that charges 300 yuan ($41) an hour to lie face-down while staff in pointy plastic fingernails scratch customers' backs. He got the idea from a viral video of a wife scratching her husband, then quit a year of job-hopping and two failed businesses to try it. Two locations now bring in roughly 100,000 yuan ($15,000) a month, and he plans 100 more nationwide.
