Regular Holidays of Beauty Salons
May 19, 2016 10:39
Japanese beauty salons (and barber shops) are closed every Tuesday in the Kanto region, and every Monday in the other regions.
Around the Second World War, Japan had faced a shortage of electricity.
For this reason, Monday or Tuesday had established as Electricity Outage Day, and most electricity supplies had stopped on the day.
On the other hand, electric perms that had been performed in beauty salons needed a lot of electricity.
Hence, beauty salons were forced to be closed on Mondays or Tuesdays.
This custom has remained until today, and there are many beauty salons that close on Mondays or Tuesdays.

美容院の定休日
日本の美容院は、関東では火曜日、それ以外では火曜日であることが多いです。
第二次世界大戦前後の日本は、深刻な電力不足に陥っていました。
このため、月曜や火曜を電力供給をストップする休電日として定めていたようです。
一方、かつて美容院で行われていたパーマは電気パーマと呼ばれ、大量の電機を消費するものでした。
従って、美容院は月曜、もしくは火曜を定休日にせざるを得ませんでした。
この名残から、現在でも月・火を定休日としている美容院が多いようです。

Your grammar was good, you just didn't need to say "On the other hand". It is just general writing advice.

-
Japanese beauty salons (and barber shops) are always closed Tuesdays in the Kanto region, and Mondays in the other regions.
This form makes it sound more like something that's been going on for a long time.
- Around the Second World War, Japan had faced a shortage of electricity.
-
Around the Second World War, Japan faced an electricity crisis.
Just an alternative.
About the "had" thing, I agree that it shouldn't be there, but that's not because the tense is already indicated by "faced". The past perfect tense is used for example for actions that took place before some other point in the past we're describing. Confusing? Example:
I went to church. I had cooked the soup.
Meaning: I cooked the soup before going to church.
I went to church. I cooked the soup.
Meaning. I went to church, then I cooked the soup.

Thank you very much always for correcting my post!
I misunderstood the usage of past perfect tenses.
> I'm in awe of your output.
It's just my daily routine, haha.

Yeah, clearly - a daily routine is the way to go in so many projects, isn't it?
