My CM barber is also very pretty but it was my ex that introduced me to her. I'm always a bit nervous when she reaches for the cutthroat razor. |

Was sat in an outdoor barbers shop upcountry, guy in front of me gets his haircut and hands over 4 corn on the cobs as payment, I thought to myself as I got in the chair, how the eff am I going to explain this to the mrs if the barber hands me the 4 corn on the cobs as my change.
Up my way in Bkk, haircut and shave, 80 baht give a 100 baht note and tell them to keep the change.
In the chair for about 45 minutes, get the works, nostrils trimmed, ears shaved and trimmed, eyebrows trimmed, neck and shoulder massage,what a bargain.
One of the strangest I have ever had was in some Turkish place, after haircut etc, guy pulls out a pair of tweezers about a foot long, picks up some cotton wool and sprays with aftershave, sets fire to it and uses it to burn the hair from my ears.

Same guy has cut my hair for over 10 year in that Soi, always have a No3 crew cut, neck shave and hairy ears trimmed, a good barber. Never seen any of the locals give a tip.
On the 'other forum', I'm sure there was a long topic about tipping hairdressers, or was that one about tipping golf caddies. Yonks back anyway and who cares, I have been mango - d now.

Didn't you know sen, part of the deal with a man as he gets "older" is the hair stops growing on his head and starts growing out of every other damn part of his body ! |

During my first couple years in Thailand I was going to this good looking Thai the girlfriend introduced me to in Din Daeng. I used to enjoy some of her female clients and if I timed it right (just after 6pm) I would see a beautiful parade while waiting. The girlfriend found out that I was leaving her a tip (20%) that she thought was excessive. I get my hair cut at home now while in Thailand (like some others here).  For years the girlfriend thought anything more than 5% was too much to give to anyone. Because we travel as much as we do, she has learned that there is nothing wrong with showing appreciation for the people (kids) that treat us so well. |
