Hanoi home to unique street barbers
local resident gets a haircut at a roadside barber shop set up on a small street in Hanoi. A man takes a nap when waiting for customers. Each cut at a street barber takes 20 to 30 minutes and costs only VND50,000 to VND60,000, equivalent to between US$2.2 and US$2.6. This elderly man has been working as a street barber for more than 10 years. Street barbers can earn a living with only a minimal set of tools. Typically, they set up by hanging a mirror on a tree or a nearby wall. It is an interesting experience to sit on the sidewalk in the morning whilst breathing fresh air and smelling fragrant flowers flowing through the streets and going for a haircut. Several customers drink cups of tea on the pavement as they wait their turn. The post Hanoi home to unique street barbers appeared first on Vietexplorer.com .
