U.S. President Donald Trump presented a signed executive order on so-called "reciprocal tariffs" at the White House on April 2nd. Furthermore, on May 2nd, the United States officially eliminated tax exemptions for small packages coming from China. It has been one month since the implementation of this tariff policy, and Americans are already experiencing its unprecedented impact, ranging from hair salon services to clothing, shoes, and pharmaceuticals.

According to recent reports in American media, the prices of many hair products in the U.S. are expected to rise significantly due to the tariffs. Small businesses are concerned, while ordinary Americans are facing higher costs for hair care. Los Angeles is one of the most important centers of the hairdressing industry in the world, but the new tariffs are having a harsh impact on businesses there. Local residents are worried about a sharp increase in the cost of services.

The owner of a hair accessory store stated that 90% of his merchandise is imported from China, and he sells everything from hair clips to full wigs. "Almost every day, I'm trying to find a way to mitigate the impact of the tariffs," he added.
