Pripyat had two hair salons. This one, located close to the city centre is the better preserved.
Pripyat was one of the more privileged places in The Soviet Union because of the Power Plant. For example; it was one of the only places you could get Chanel No. 1, and various quality Western Goods, second only to Moscow, Russia. As a result of this, people would travel from further away just to go shopping and get a hair cut in Pripyat.
