Can't go to a barber/stylist? Video chat with one instead; they direct you and/or significant other, live, in how to cut your hair such that you look good. You pay them for their time as normal.

It's a comms strategy for stay-at-home. It's community support for a skilled trade experiencing a demand shock. It solves a very real problem for users.

Maybe it's through remote hair styling consulting (you provide the cutting) or plausibly it is even "Take your phone to a hairstylist of your choice. They're good, but they don't do Cher's hair. I do. I'll tell them how to make you a star."
"That sounds implausible."
You can pay money for a Gordon Ramsey burger without Gordon Ramsey having ever been in the same physical space with the same physical beef, right. That's normal.
Does this need anything other than "a good Instagram photo, most of the time" to work?
