Getting a gent's haircut in HK can be a daunting and expensive process, especially if you are an…read moreex-pat or foreign visitor. How much will it cost, will they make me look like Miley Cyrus, what's the Canto for grade 2 the back and sides? Now, you can head to any chain of QB House, and get a perfectly adequate cut price cut in 10 minutes; or you can go for the full monty at The Barber Shop in Central, and smash some serious cash for a great pamper. However, the savvy shopper will go to Hennessy Plaza, 164-166 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai. On the first floor there are two salons, you want to go to the one on the left as you look at them from the elevator lobby. This place is so local, there is no English name! Once you get in there, the staff are extremely friendly. They'll sit you down and patiently understand your hand signals, before ploughing in and giving you a great haircut. But, haircuts aside, it's the frills and thrills that keep me coming back to these guys. After you are beautifully coiffed within an inch of your life, comes the best bit - a hot towel facial and a straight razor shave, you're not gonna get that at QB House! Be warned though, it can be quite nerve-wracking. You see, the barbers here are the "Shanghai masters". This means that they are older than Moses, and they are shakier than a Red Bull swilling ugly bloke asking out a hot girl. However, once that razor (and your throat) is in their hands, the skill and precision is phenomenal. Masters they are! They'll have you smoother than a babe's butt in moments. They'll even duo the mono brow and tope the nose hairs - nice! And, if that ain't service enough, the lovely lady cashier will finish you off with a shampoo, condition and blow-dry (easy boys, I said blow-dry). The best thing with her is, it doesn't matter how much hair you have left on your bonce that actually needs washing, she'll slather a load of shampoo in, and massage your head for a good long while like it was a pound of bread dough. Finally, you are cut, you are shaved, and and you are washed - now the cherry on the top. The whole kit and caboodle only costs HKD88, you're practically robbing them! Trust me on this one guys. Our ladies have the spas, and the facials, and the mani-pedis. We get this; a shaky guy with a weapon - you gotta love it!

Yes, it's a dive. And a little intimidating for a visiting foreigner. A little English... mostly…read morejust to say "$100HKD" It's listed as the first floor, which is really the third. Walk up a flight of stairs, which puts you on floor "G". The elevators were next to the sleeping guard. Go up to floor 1. I'm just a buzz cut, so I didn't need to explain anything complicated. I got the only woman on the place. She was polite, but serious and intensely focused. The rest of the guys were intensely focused on the horse racing on the TV. Anyway, it was all good and I'd go back again.

I highly recommend Angel's Barber Shop!…read more I'm recently relocated to Hong Kong from Manhattan, NYC, where for many years happily had a regular Westside Manhattan barber near Lincoln Center ... But after arriving in Hong Kong and needing a haircut, I just happened upon this Wan Chai location after doing some research; luckily finding the establishment while perusing WeChat and making friends with Angel. I made a reservation with the establishment's proprietor herself - and I admit, I'm a supporter of women entrepreneurs (Angel and her team are from Thailand, living In Hong Kong for decades) who bravely ventured out to make their own way. But this was no politically correct connection - the establishment is very first class; and Angel, having worked a number of years as a haircutter at one of Hong Kong's top barbershops, is one of the best haircutters that I've ever had. Overall: Great location; great shop atmosphere - includes massages and other top spa like services (yes, it's located on the 4th floor of an office building, but easy to find). It has great friendly service... and most importantly, a great, reasonably priced haircut!

Hong Kong, Central. November 2023…read more The Mandarin Oriental's Barber is on the hotel's second floor. Gentlemen will receive a bespoke experience influenced by England and Shanghai. You can get a haircut and shave from your barber. Someone is available to do a Shanghai pedicure if you don't take care of your feet and spend a lot time barefoot. Some of their barbers have worked there for decades and only serve regular clients in a private room. When not in use the private room is open to mostly hotel guests. Your pampering starts with an offer of coffee or proper tea w biscuit. Come in early to unwind. I believe a beer is available from downstairs in the late afternoon for you after work types who need a cut or shave. It's very nice to pamper yourself once in a while in a gentleman's environment.

We came here for the Shanghainess pedicure, aka. shaving skin very softly from the feet. I saved my…read morefeet skin for two months so I can fully enjoy this. The guy who did my pedicure was very nice, asked how long my nails want to be (yes they do cut nails and even put nail polish on if you like), then carefully lifted my feet and started shaving skin, from bottom to top. I've never experienced such thorough shaving that I felt like my feet were 2lbs lighter. To be fair it's not the cheapest pedicure, about a little over $100, but given I'm only coming to Hong Kong every 3 years or so, it's very worth it.

Pong was my stylist and listened carefully to my direction and executed the cut to perfection. At times the cut was so relaxing and literally feel asleep and Pong caught my head. Thank goodness he was shaving yet. The cut was clean, and so was the entire experience. The shop itself was hip, with 4 other stylist doing their thing. You would think it would be loud but on the contrary it was anything but. There is a restroom and chairs for waiting. DIRECTIONS: Now the place can be difficult to locate so pay attention to one of the narrow hallway from the Main Street. The shop is located in a hole in a wall hallway and in the second floor. I made a same day appointment but call ahead to make sure. They are close on Monday. Pong spoke English and I suppose others do too. I know where and who I am going to have my chair cut next time I visit HK.

I had to wait 20 minutes but no big deal since they gave me a cool towel and ice water while sitting on the couch. They did me a favor squeezing me in. Even offered other refreshments.

I nearly gave this an overall rating of 4 because of the price. Nearly $50 bucks, HK380. It is Hong Kong though...so I took that into consideration. Will I go here for a haircut next time? Yup.
