Philex Chin has some interesting stories to tell about his customers’ hair condition, post MCO. — FAIHAN GHANI/The Star

PHILEX Chin has had his hands full this past month, as the doors to the salon he founded, 54 Blanc Saloon in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, reopened after being closed during the Movement Control Order.
