The modern man has a lot of demands. This is seen through the fact that there are now men salons available. In fact, the traditional and more conventional barber shops that were operated by Indian barbers have now modernized and offer some of the best services.
Barbershops with a new twist!
When it comes to personal grooming, barbershops now come with a lot of new and more modern services. You will find that even the interior design and outlook of these shops have changed since the old and former Indian barbershops with the twirled blue, red and white stripes at the storefront. In fact, you can no longer find RM10 haircuts with a small twist on the neck these days. If you are the modern male looking for a nice place to pamper your scalp and sometimes a shave, then you should consider the top 5 barbershops today. These outlets are evaluated based on the following factors:
- Focus – Barbershops are not the same as the usual run-of-the-mill salons. What you want is to find a barbershop which is intended for men only. When they focus on this, you can ensure maximum quality of service
- Locality – In the past, Indian barbershops are quite easily found. In fact, most of these outlets offer similar services at rates that are quite standard. You can literally walk into any shop and you can be assured of the same (or at least similar) treatment.
- Ambiance – Modern barbershops have very unique ambiance. Besides the treatment for your scalp or chin, you will surely enjoy the outlook of the salon which can often time be quite rustic (designed deliberately)
- Value for money – although it might not be as cheap as before (around RM10 per haircut), you would enjoy the affordable services anyhow. In fact, you will find that some of these outlets do not charge exorbitant fees which makes them really economical for the service and experience.
