In this article, the author reveals the situation with personal services during the Soviet period in Uzbekistan, specifically in the example of hairdressing and bath services. During the Soviet period, the authorities took control of the institutions providing personal services and gradually eliminated all forms private entrepreneurship in this area, turning it into public institutions. As a result, during all the years of Soviet power, the quality of personal services provided to the population remained one of the lowest among the Soviet republics.
