Old style barber shop

Want a good haircut ? Want a real clean shave ? Want a good shampoo after that ?


Then you should try this place in Kwai Hing (yes yes it is NOT in Central or CWB and it is not VIDAL SASSON or any fancy trendy overpriced salon): It is an old style barber shop in Kwai Hing Estate. The youngest guy working there is in his early sixties, the others is hard to estimate but at least all between end 60 - end 70's - and they are doing an incredible good job.

The whole package haircut, shave + shampoo you get for a reasonable HKD 60 - you need at least 1 hour to go through the whole procedure. Very precise, very clean and polite. All kind of old trimming tools, nice barber chairs (you can sleep during they work on you) and relaxing atmosphere. The younger guy speaks quite good english, means no need to worry that you will get your hair done wrong. They are closed on Wednesdays.

Go to Kwai Hing (MTR Tsuen Wan Line) - exit A - turn left and follow Kwai Hing Road - at the next crossing (Wo Kwai Lane) cross the street - stay right side (you will see a WELLCOME after 100 meters) - near the WELLCOME is a stationery shop and opposite of this is the barbershop. The photo of the street sign is exactly opposite the barber shop (when you stand with your back to the sign you can see the shop left hand side in the small passage). Enjoy !

And if you are there already opposite of the WELLCOME is a very nice hot pot place in the first floor.
