The Fugitive Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 5 hours ago, Isaanlife said: Where do you get your haircut. It is around 30 baht in Isaan. Agree, most economical. I don't cut my own hair (what's remaining) or shave either. Barber is also a family friend so continued to enjoy 'clandestine' service even when it wasn't allowed. For 150 baht (including tip) it's a bargain and helps the economy. I have to go elsewhere for manicure and pedicure but those too are absolutely affordable.

chalawaan Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 My Stainless steel 100 anniversary edition Wahl clipper removes hair from my head and places few barbers would venture too. It's already paid for itself. But, I do have to accept I'll never be as biblical as Steve Bannon, it's a No. 3 buzz cut at best. Anything longer and I look like a teenage Hasid.

Stocky Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Longest without a haircut during lockdown was 16 weeks. I normally have my hair cut every six weeks, coincidentally I was at the hairdresser today. The same lady in Hat Yai has been cutting my hair the last ten years. It used to be Bht150 for a cut & shampoo with scalp massage, these days it's Bht200. I let my wife and daughter loose on it once, never again. .

Where do you go to get one for 60 baht? go to a place where the motorcycle taxi drivers go. ask a motorcycle taxi driver. ..on a personal note, I cut my own hair. for over 2 years now. it doesn't look the greatest. but when you are over 70 years old, who cares? they sell these clippers on lazada for 500 baht that are good for cutting your own hair.

In the US I paid about 700 bht and that was cheap. I get my hair cut every couple of weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
