I used to go into that one in the 1990s when I worked in Pacific Place 1 & 2 just across the road from the barber shop. They always did a good job.

 

Now I use a local barber in the village ay 60 thb a pop. I give him 80 (20 for the search fee) plus 10 baht for each of his 2 kids.

Very much the same with the chap I use.  60 B takes 20 mins. and I give hime 20B tip. Ok when no one else there but one time a chap in the chair was having his ears saringed/surringed , most disgusting !

It is quite astonishing, the power a set of large boobs have, whether real or fake. Some people lose their minds and fortunes over them. Been that way for centuries, if not milleniums. 

Anything more than a handful is a waste.

I was there the other day, haircut is pretty bad. They know how to do thai hair I guess, but not foreigner hairs. They speak not a single word of english either.

Are you a Brit or American? Did you tip?

I fell the same way. But, I know guys who lost their minds over size. And quality and beauty barely figure into the equation.

Does he still manage to drive while using his phone?

He's OK on straight roads, but he wobbles a bit on left turns.

This is why is pays to know the Thai language, I know how to say a few different haircut styles in Thai.

Looks like a fine establishment to get a haircut.

I used to go to a place back in the 90's down in Silom.  I think the name was Phensom barbershop.  Closer to Surawong than Silom.  Might of been in Soi 6 or 8.  Good times!

So, take a picture of the style you like. Sometimes they have photos of different styles in the shop. As for not speaking English in Thailand- how many barbers in your country speak Thai?

5555 - now that I know where it is, I may have to go for a haircut soon.

(I normally do it myself but have been going to the barber shops every so often just to give them a little business.) 

It's a fairly new shop (wasn't there in July 2020 according to Google). Probably why they had the "boob show" going, to attract customers.

Why does hair grow on crutches?

If someone is in business in a predominantly foreign tourist area, I would expect some language skills to be of benefit. They are certainly NOT looking for Thai only custom.

I agree, businesses in tourist areas should have workers that are able to speak English, but this barber shop is located on Pattaya's Darkside, not a lot of tourists over here, just Thais and expats.

If they want to have Expat customers, then again some language skill would be of good use.

Perhaps they don't care.

Difficult choice ...... girl with nice boobs on display Vs girl who can speak English ........

I'd choose 'boobs' every time!

Agree, if a expat is too lazy or unable to learn enough Thai words to the point he (she) can't ask for a basic haircut they haven't earned the right to complain.

I've seen farangs tell barbers "nit noy" and think that explains the haircut they want ????????

Went by the place twice yesterday (going and coming). Was only about 30ish minutes apart. 

No customers seen the first time. Only one seen on the return trip. Was going to stop in on the return trip but ended up with a large bag of frozen meats that I wanted to get home and into the freezer more than I wanted to get a haircut.

Besides, the place I go to once in awhile on Soi Buakhao also has a woman with large "assets" that cuts hair for 100 baht. (She's a little plumper than the one in the video, but I'd say  prettier as well.)
