The Barber Shop

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?).
