Anyone know of any single-poled barber shops where they speak English? All I want is a trim, I'm not interested in any other services. And I sure as hell don't want a Korean style haircut. Just a little bit off the top and sides, is that too much to ask for?

Generally speaking yes. A good haircut in bangkok is only a short flight away.

go to the alley between poshinkak (the big bell) and popey's chicken in chongro (2 ga). go downstairs in the building directly behind popey's (through small sliding doors). there is a VERY small, old school barber shop run by three old guys; no funny business, just a cut. nice guys, and you get a sick of gum or a smoke on the way out. gotta love it. good luck. report back with your opinion, if you would.

It's worth the trip. I got a haircut in Korea only once. The bit of curl in my thinning locks proved too much for the barber. Now I let it grow out until I get to Thai, and have it done there. If you're ever in Vientiane, there's a Lao-American hairstylist who does excellent work: shampoo, cut, blow-dry for eight bucks.

2 words: Blue Club.

5000 Won and you get a shampoo, etc. with it. The one I've been to has English-speaking staff.

Or if you want something a bit classier...Juno.

Blue Club as the other poster above said, only 5000 won and they don't deal in other services...however, the cutting can be a little so-so..

Abyhow, in Emart, Homeplus,etc there will be a hairdresser. Go there and you will pay about 12 000 won for a haircut
