Need a good barber

i need a good barber to sort out my comb over. i went to see a chap by the satani rotfai a while ago but he cut the lot off and it took me 3 years to grow. i had to wear a hat for the rest of my holiday. does anyone know any good barbers?

I go to a place called individual'S within walking distance of the Charoensri complex. Opposite the bus station and down a little bit towards Phosri Road.

When a fahlang walks in they direct you to a khatoey but in fairness to him he does not just shear the lot off like you are a sheep and takes his time.

Back home I am charged 650 Baht for some thick fukker to cut my hair and answer the phone and ask some guy to put money on a horse and ask me just about every detail of my life. The khatoey cuts my hair in 1/10th of the time and does a better job for about 60 Baht.

Mmmmm maybe it's time for the 'Bobby Charlton' to go Harold, just have a grade 1, no more worrying about windy days, no more school kids laughing at the straggly bits of hair hanging down, no more people pointing fingers.....do the right thing and do it now..!

A Comb Over style.

you know it makes sense Harold.

Just got a great haircut from a hair salon on Phon Phisai Road near the Ban Hoy Market.

Ask for Awn. It's about half a block east on the right. Noodle shop right next door. Yellow building across the street.

Haircut 120 baht
Shampoo 40 baht
Style 50 baht

Best haircut I've had in 10 years.

210 baht plus tip?Did you stay up all night not to mess it up

Damn tourists

Pretty soon us expats will not be able to get our h/cs for 40 baht anymore and it will be your fault!!

It is a woman's salon that does western style haircuts for men.

I didn't want the traditional Thai buzz cut for men.

I think you were looking for a ''happy ending''

40 baht, for that doo of yours, yikes, i'll do it for 10. did mine the other day, but as Gem's surprised look on face as she noticed, then handed me the mirror,

oops, put the wrong tip on, so i'll be wearing my hats for a while, i have enough of them. put on # 2 instead of # 4, a bit short, and little thinner on top than my younger days, so to avoid a little sunburn, better use them hats for about a month.

the few times i did have my hair cut at salon, decent job, was also in the 100-150 range, which included couple washings. now i do myself, 1st mistake i've made, then little self trim when longer, then if wanting to keep longer, Ree does a good job. though i prefer the buzz, then let come back in. bit hot lately, though i'm sure that hat will help cool me off

There are some good barbers next to the cop shop, on the street that runs between phosi rd and srisuk rd. All the bib get their comb over cuts there so you should find what you are after.
Does anyone know about the tradition of barbers being closed on Wednesdays? What's it about?

I use them if in Udon. Guy down the back does a great job worthy of the 50 Baht tip I give him. Don't know if he could handle a comb over though, with his sense of humour anything could happen, after he stops laughing.

Dero, I do not mean to criticize you in any way. I truly believe and respect that everyone has the right to do anything they want with their money, and tipping for extra service is not a bad idea.

However, having said that, tipping a hair dresser in Thailand is seldom done by Thais. I have gone to that barber shop often and have tipped myself, but I tip only 20 baht which seems apropriate for me for a 60 baht haircut. I have noticed that the barbers there do seem to expect a tip from farang, but I have never seen a Thai tip. love, Swami

No but there is a place on Phosri Road Opposite Boss Studio/Mitsubishi dealers. I think last time I went was 40 Baht. Good job and he didn't give me a Thaksin type sweep over.
