Does anybody know a hairstylist/barber in the Suwon area that speaks english or is any good? How much would a haircut cost here? I don't really want to pay more than 15-20,000 thanks.

7,000 if your a bloke... You can go to Blue Club- It's like a barber shop.

The first time is the hardest. English speaking hairdressers are hard to find. Like much of everything in this god forsaken country. But just go in and use the sign language and you'll get basically what you want. Then keep going back over and over again.

I needed someone to shave my head and trim my beard every few weeks. The first time it was like. "You want me to do what?" After that- They are cool and they know.

P.S The missus went for one at a Korean hair place and got it for about 10,000 or so. Law of economics. There is one on every corner so the price comes down.

Seriously though, they're not bad hairdressers. About the only thing that they do well.

they tend to do rather well for women, and are fairly cheap too. The most Ive ever paid here was 15,000. If you just need a trim " dadaemo juseyo" is what you can say, and then kind of show the person how much you want off.
