$10, 10 mins

[skinhead]

Anyone tried that place in Raffles that cuts your hair for $10?

[Don't bother]

Getting a haircut should be a relaxing experience. How relax can you be when they rush to finish a cut for you in 10 mins? Anyway, my friends who had gone, complained about badly cut hair.

Are we talking blokes or chicks? Blokes hasir in 10 mins....well worth it. Chicks, I wouldn't because you'll only cry about it afterwards!

[bonehead]

one of my colleagues went for the $10 treatment....and it shows!  It is a Japanese concept where you just walk in and wait your turn, they do a standard cut, vacuum (!) the hair trimmings from your head and shoulders (sounds quite nice actually) pat you on the back and sent you on your merry way to look forward to looks of derision from your friends and family for the following weeks...possibly.  But then again I went to a 5GBP place in London and it was a much better cut than the 40GBP I had paid before (except I didn't get a cup of Camomile tea or a recent copy of FHM) all of which are essential hair cut accessories, so I am sure it is worth a try, how bad can it be?

Know a guy who goes to a barber in a Chinatown back alley - both are last of a dying breed I suspect. He gets scalped for a bit less than $10 in the open air.

The barber even removes ear wax (I know - pretty gross huh?) but he's never been game to try it.

There's only a week between a bad haircut and a good haircut for a bloke and the money you save can buy well earned pints of lager....

The best barber I ever had was the GBP 7 local London haidresser, and rentals there are worse than here; good hairdresser in Seattle gets also U$10. I never knew why ang mohs in Sg should go to money-cutting places like Reds.
Still, as somebody mentioned, for the SD10 I would expect at least 20 min attention, 10 is too little for the money, having in mind how low qualification one needs to be male hairstilist (sorrry, but food-stall cook needs to know more).

BTW, you can get decent half-hour haircut in Bkk for 1-3US in the soi-s by the Sukhotai ($1 is normal barber, $3 is advertized  in English and done by English speaker), but better buy your own $2 cissors for health reasons. If you pay them $5, they'll come to do it in your hotel suite while you are having your 12 yrs single malt in the 350sq.ft palace bathroom. Let your neighbours go to Reds and your buddies to 10min-$10 places.

I have actually tried one of those 10mins haircut places. It was quite good. But I went in during a lull  period so the stylist took her time. =)

Had the ear cleaning think in Vietnam when I went for a shave..quite in interesting experiance, bot some of the tools look distinctly like insturments of torture. I could swear that it actually improved my hearing..the guy then proceeded to shave my forehead, my nose and even my lower eyelashes..at this point I stopped him. Still I had a good shave, my ears were sparkling and it cost about US$50c

Indian barbers at corner of Upper East Coast Road and Woo Mon Chew Road recently put their price up to S$8.00! If like me you go in and ask for a Number 4 all over you get a great short haircut. I would not recommend it to you men with the fancy haircuts and heads waxed up with hair gel though.

My boyfriend told the $10 Japanese place he wanted a cut like Moby. He ended up looking like Moby with a very odd shaped skull. After the shave, all the aunties crossed the road when they saw him approaching.

I cut my own hair! Also clean my ears and save the wax, when I have enough I make a table candle out of it!

[Yul Brynner]

Show us a barber who can make our hair grow back and he/she'll be laughing all the way to her own bank!

[Joseph27]

I got to Suntec - cost me $33 a time for a straight cut.  The thing is you can go for a $10 cut and have an okay hair cut but for style go up market

[Loops]

We've got clippers, I'll cut your hair and you can pay me in Tiger beer
