Good Barber Shop

[Catpian Slackbladder]

Can anyone recommend a good barber who understands English to a degree where he can get on with cutting your hair without interruption?? And without taking the Grade 2 blade off when you have specifically asked for a Grade 2 at the back and sides!!!!

Had a bad experience yesterday and now look like something you'd find on the wall of The Louvre!!!

Need help on this one otherwise I'm getting on the next plane to blighty for my next haircut!!

I've experienced the same problem! After visiting 5 different barbers around town, I have fount a good place to go. I go to the barber shop in Sofitel Silom Hotel, 2nd floor. Ask for May, a lovely lady and knows how to cut mens hair, short back and sides with a bit longer on the top. It's not cheap thou, but worth the 700B in my opinion.

1) learn the Thai for what you want?

2) just bring a picture with you?

3) try the 100 baht barbers in the Thanon Thaniya building attached to the Sala Dang BTS station

There is a men's barber shop in next to the fitness center in the Four Seasons Hotel on Rajadamri. It's a barber shop, not a salon, and they know how to cut Farang hair. A haircut is 295 baht. Best I've found in Bangkok.

I went for a haircut to a barbers in Chokchai Ruammit yeasterday. I took my girlfriend along just incase there needed to be anything translated. The end result was not a bad haircut and for the grand total of only 60 baht.

You should be happy that the Thai person cuts your hair so short at least the grey won't show .

So cant you have the 007 side parting then.

As you enter Sukhamvit Road soi 8 from Sukhamvit Road, about 50 meters down on your right hand side is a great little 'old fashioned' mens barber shop.

Haircut (shaved at the hairline at the back and sides with cut-throat razor), shoulder massage, air con all for 120 bt.

Sounds like the same place I use sometimes. The name of the shop is Thong Manhattan or Manhattan Thong. The first barber's name is Thong, not sure of the second one. Neither barber speaks much English but they do a good job cutting hair.

I used to go to soi 8 for years until I realised that they are ordinary.

I now go to a place near the entrance to Suk soi 17. The girls there are professionals and do a great job, rather than the standard hatchet job with an electric trimmer. 200 baht + tip.
