Not really if you are into "hair" A haircut for 700 THB (~$20 USD) sits in the mid-to-high tier for men's grooming in Bangkok. While it is significantly higher than what locals typically pay for a basic trim, it is considered reasonable for a professional, English-speaking, Western-style barber or salon. Bangkok Haircut Price Tiers Local / Neighborhood Barbershops (100 – 300 THB): Straightforward, local shops providing quick cuts, basic fades, and minimal English communication. Mid-Range & Express Chains (200 – 500 THB): Quick-cut chains (like Easy Cut at 120–150 THB) or standard mall salons offering decent haircuts with minimal add-on services. Boutique & Vintage Barbershops (600 – 900 THB): Includes popular spots like Tew's Barber Shop, The Classic Yard Barbershop, and Black Amber Barber Shop. A 700 THB cut in this tier typically includes a consultation, hair wash, hot towel treatment, neck massage, complimentary drink, and English-speaking barbers skilled in modern fades or classic cuts. High-End Salons & Luxury Hotels (1,000 – 2,500+ THB): Premium salon experiences, often with foreign creative directors or high-profile stylists. At 700 THB, you are paying for full service, skilled styling, and a comfortable atmosphere rather than just a quick trim. Dont get me wrong, I myself pay 170 baht for a nice cut, and a shave. That includes a nice tip. Same shop same cutter for 22 years.
