Tips

culture
Chinese hairstylists started giving themselves Western-sounding work names (Tony, Kevin, Jack, Andy) in the 2000s because it sounded fashionable. Netizens turned 'Tony老师' into a collective nickname for every pushy male stylist in the country.
register
Tongue-in-cheek. Don't call your actual stylist 'Tony老师' to their face unless that really is their work name.
