FAZILIYAH,--In a village liberated from ISIS, men and boys rejoice with new haircuts and shaved beards.
"I consider today as the day of celebration," said a man who has shaved his beard just a short time ago, laughing that his wife was constantly complaining about his long beard, imposed on him like every man in his village, by the strict rules of ISIS for more than two years.
Ahmad, a hairdresser in the liberated village of Faziliyah on the Bashiqa front, is the first to profit from the removal of the extremists in this village. Twenty years into his business, today is his busiest day ever.
Men and boys are queuing in his shop to erase the ISIS imprints on their heads and faces.
"Thank God. It is very crowded here now. Prosperity is again revisiting us," he said. "Shaved beards and all type of hairstyles are the new normal now, and our business has increased threefold."
