how did it turn out?
Let's just say that whatever hair style you went in with you will come out with a standard chinaman hair cut. You can see them all around you. Short all round, more bang for your buck cos it'll be 2 months before you need another haircut.
I go to shop and get mine cut for 15. It's ok.
We don't have street barbers where I live.
I did once, I got my head shaved clean. It was fine.
I wouldn't trust them with any other cut than the shiny dome of hereditary baldness, though.
Once but it was 7 kuai, not 5. Old guy in ex-army fatigues, mirror hanging off a tree and using battery powered clippers. Luckily all I wanted was a No.3 crop all over....I doubt he could do anything stylish
I got them all the time. In bigger cities I paid 10 RMB, or 30 RMB for the shampoo + massage. I had one in a smaller city for 7 RMB.
But the end result was all the same: I just shave my damn head every time. 3mm ftw.
you mean the ones litterally on the street. no, I often walk past a place under a big intersection where there are upwards 10 haircutters going at a time, the wife thinks it is a bad thing to do as they most likely don't clean their tools (to which I reply "you mean like they don't clean anything in the 80RMB per cut place you usually take me to", to which she agrees)
Looking at the people leaving there, you couldn't go to the Academy Awards or Nobel Prize shows with these haircuts, but I am sure you can go about your daily life without feeling like an outcast.

under a big intersection... I see them there too. How pleasant to sit back, relax and have your hair cut with the background noise of everyday traffic.
