In case you need a haircut.

Face masks have become the norm in many countries, including Singapore, because of Covid-19.

Wearing face masks with ear loops for an extended period of time can be uncomfortable.

Wearing a mask during a haircut can also be a chore for hairdressers who may fear accidentally cutting the mask off.

This face mask from Japan, however, may get rid of these problems.

Stick-on masks

Salone de Mask is a Japanese online store that provides strapless, stick-on masks.

According to TimeOut, these disposable masks have adhesive strips that can be pasted onto a person's cheeks and beneath their jawline.

These masks may also be convenient for hairdressers, as they no longer need to fear snipping the mask off.

Two types of masks

Salone De Mask offers two different types of masks:

1) Transparent mask

These masks allow hairdressers to see their customers' faces clearer.

This also helps them to plan out appropriate haircuts based on their customers' features.
