Thread: Haircuts

Do you cut your own hair? The numbered buzz cuts seem to be in these days. Or do you visit a barber or hair stylist? What is the cost of a good cut, and what does it include? For me I dont get a hair wash but I do get a full shave.

With all the rising prices in Thailand I would say getting your hair cut here is a much better value than back in the west. I myself go to a shop that caters to the Thai Air Force. Today I went at the scheduled time of 9am only to be told there was a queue of three. One in the chair and two waiting, all officers. Much younger than me waiting for their dye job.

Went back at 1pm and had a great cut.

Yeah I shave mine, partly because I've done it for years and partly because I'm going a bit bald.

I had my last hurrah with a barber last year. I looked like Tintin so I promptly shaved it all when I got home.

Sounds like you are doing the right thing.

Number 1 from the local barber.

Zero all over. Used to do it myself but my clippers broke so now I go to the Japanese booths in Thaniya plaza.

You put your 100bt in the machine and as the guys shaving your head, he pulls a vacuum cleaner out of the ceiling and sucks all the bits of hair off before it goes down the back of your neck. Guaranteed to take less than 10mins but I had mine done yesterday and he was done in about 3mins.

Got a bit weird yesterday though when he put his finger in my ear to protect it from the suction.

Down the barbers once a month.

Haircut, ear nose and forehead shave, head and neck massage, quick shot of lau kau.
60 baht all in.

Six weeks for me and a three day growth of beard. Trims the stash and all, for the same price but the big spender I am I have just upped to a hundred. 55 minutes in the chair and no shampoo. I mean every stray head on my head and face is gone, eyebrows as well.

Same here, but without the shot of lao kao. I give him 100 baht and move on. Been going to him for two years now. Miss the Playboy mags usually found in US Barber shops.

How the fcuk can you get a good shave from a Thai barber ? They only use blades that's as sharp as the average IQ. As for haircuts, I'm lucky enough to have enough hair to ask for a style cut.

pity this is not in MKP because Smeg could give us some tips about hair loss and how he does his comb-over

Good thing he doesn't shave your ass, too...

^ that is the sort of boring one-liner that you have been accusing me of making

except worse

I found it funny

The missus cuts mine. I sit on a stool (not a turd-type stool.....) and sometimes I can manage to grab her tits a bit while she's doin' me bonce - otherwise no tip.

Come to think of it - no tip, anyway...

Kinky!
Must make a mental note of having clean undies on if I ever stumble across your barbers.

Mrs Tiz does mine.
