Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk I know exactly what you mean. I worked in rural China in the early 90s. I went to a local outdoor barber showing him how much I wanted trimming using standard finger and thumb ........ Unfortunately he took it to mean how much I wanted left on ...

Popular Post dabhand Posted March 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2018 I remember going into a hairdressers in Betong and asking for a haircut. Well, what a kerfuffle, don't think they had had anyone asking for a haircut for some time as they were more set up for other 'services'. But they managed to locate some clippers and did the business for me. Also had a colleague who was in a hairdressers in Sungai Golok. A proper one this time as the hairdresser saw some movement under the cape and assumed the worst so gave him a clout round the head. Turned out he was actually cleaning his glasses.....!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Also the barbers opposite soi buakhao market seem to do good trade. That is 100 baht too... Tried all of those. Would not go back to any of them. I used to get perfectly good haircuts in Manila for very low prices, but have never had a decent one here at any price. I've never met a Thai barber who knew anything about scissors or layering either. It's just dab dab dab with electric shears. Maybe they all trained on Aussie sheep farms.

KittenKong Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 So you are suggesting that there are only 3 choices: 1. Cousin IT 2.Uncle Fester or 3. Fly to Manila. My solution, if you can call it that, is just to put up with bad haircuts. Any barber here will give you one of these, and to be perfectly honest the free one I had from the training shop mentioned earlier was no worse than many pay ones I have had here. I keep trying new shops in the hope that one day I will find a good one, but I'm not holding my breath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the average shop if I tell them to use scissors only, they do; and use them skillfully enough, depending on the barber. As with most services, you find the ones you like, put them through the training ;), and then stay with them. Mostly.

Most places I use cost around 80-100B, which seems high enough for 20 minutes work to me. Some will use scissors, if I insist, but none seem very happy or adept with them. Never had that problem in the Philippines. Haircuts I've had here look OK as I leave the shop, but within a couple of weeks I can see the faults appear. For me a proper haircut should last a month and should continue to look neat albeit longer as the hair grows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giddyup Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 When I ask for a #4 on top and a #2 on the sides, I get the same haircut wherever I go in Pattaya, usually 70-80 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but that isnt a real haircut. A real haircut involves layering the hair, not shearing it to the same length. I do believe that the lack of proper barbers is one reason why so many farangs opt for the "number x all round" trim here. That and the high ambient temperatures.
