BkkPilot Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I hope I am not violating any TF rules here (as my post might be construed as solicitation), but I need a haircut. My usual hair stylist bailed town and I am in need. So, does anybody have any recommendations? I am willing to pay up to 800 baht (that's my limit, not what I usually pay), but I want somebody who knows what (s)he is doing. I am in central BKK - anywhere the BTS is going is fine. I am a difficult customer - some call me anal (and that's not a sexual reference, for the jokers amongst you). But I want somebody with decent English so I can explain what I want and somebody who takes his/her time. Any good suggestions / or hairstylists here?

English_Bob Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I've got 12 years' experience... unfortunately I only know one style - but I speak good English. BTW is that the hairstylist you used to bone every time you came to Bangkok until she got loved up with a farang guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olympos Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I am willing to pay up to 800 baht (that's my limit, not what I usually pay), but I want somebody who knows what (s)he is doing. A haircut costs usually 150 Baht in BKK. What would you like to include for the other 650 until you'll reach your limit? EB, isnt that the same guy you were meant to meet on a TF event (he was supposed to turn up there in uniform)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what I'm doing (most of the time) I handle difficult customer well. I speak "decent" English (and can pretend with French) I don't live in central BKK, but that isn't a problem. I have passport, willing to travel. 800 Bth, that wasn't many but if you are handsom. I do it for free (it's a low season, you know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just came out of Pargon: haircut 700-1200 baht. Under which rock do you live? The problem with the local 150 baht hair salons is that my Thai doesn't measure up to explain what I want.... Not that the Paragon girls speak any better English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BkkPilot Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Next time, if i have a spare 150 Baht, i'll try the hairstyle "CherieAtwood" That's why I am willing to spend 800. No offense, Cherie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I am particularly handsome, but the idea would be to be more handsome after your treatment - so, it's part your responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can you wait 5 years for a haircut? And digi...Jeab was trying an experimental hair cutting method "cut by fire." Things are now back to "normal".
