Just saw in another thread that "The Barber Shop" on Wellington St was recommended. With a view to trying to avoid a comedy haircut moment, are the clipper gradings here the same in the UK. e.g if I ask for #2 back and sides and #4 top it hopefully won't result in me looking like a 70s football hooligan?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

jonnye - their clients are pretty much 90% expat.. and yes, I'd expect them to know what it is (ask for one of the guys. One of the girls got a negative review on of the threads...)

I usually pay $200 for a haircut.

I'm also a customer ($200), and yes they know what #4 is. I either get the hair cut by the older guy or the short Thai girl, both decent. The taller girl butchered my hair once and I try to avoid her like the plague.

OK - thanks guys, that's all good to know. I'd like to think that a #4 #2 combination is pretty straightforward and would be almost impossible to butcher... but I'm not about to try and find out

I go there, too. As mentioned, it is relatively expensive at HKD200, but a pleasant/easy experience and I have gotten decent haricuts from both of the girls and both of the gusy (Max and Dan?).

How much better are they than the HKD50 barbers?

Where exactly do you find HKD$50 barbers? near Central or Mid-Levels
