HIDDEN in the middle of the concrete jungle, Saladaeng Barber, founded over 45 years ago is one of the first full-service barber shops in Bangkok. Located 100 metres away from Saladaeng BTS station, the shop features five barber chairs with three male barbers with expertise and a strong sense of service mind.
Ascending the stairs to the barbershop on the second floor, news articles and columns in which the shop has been featured showcased its long history. Pictures of celebrities and TV stars having their hair cut done at the shop were posted on the walls and garnered the mirrors within the shop. Signs and pricing board were written mostly in English implying that the shop must have been popular among the expats in the area. One of the barber, Ram, added that around half of the customers are foreigners.
