Its not located in Minsheng East Road.
Most of them are open. In the heat of L3 a month ago, I had to make a trip the department store and saw a few of them open. I later found out that the salon I frequent near Zhongshan MRT is also open. I am hearing you must keep your mask on at all times during the wash/cut though.
Also no walks ins; advance appointment needed.

Highly suspect then!!!
Thatās the value added barbershop.
Is this thread to discuss how barbers and your haircuts are affected or not by Covid-19?
Itās purpose was to distract from the arguments from the rest of the forum. But seems it was a great success.
The level of service for those $1000 haircuts in Taiwan is really something else compared to what youād get for the same price in the UK, but the end result is just the same as it is in the $100 places so Iād just stick with that. I think people tend to overstate the supposed ālow living costsā in Taipei, but good-quality haircuts there are really very cheap.

Thatās the ādead possum smacked on your headā haircut.
No, itās the āsupplemental massageā place, free tea.
The lady I go to for my NT$100 haircut is an expert stylist who used to run a chain of salons. Now that sheās semi-retired she just does it for fun and a little social interaction. The CPå¼ is off the charts.
But doesnāt it have a barber pole? Weāvegot one for five right around the corner.
Thereās the barber pole, the frosted windows where the only thing you can make out is a barber chair. We even have neon lights and butterflies.
The barbershop is the official business and the supplemental massages with extra release, I mean relief, are the added value at least thatās what I thought.
Arenāt the āsupplemental massageā shops advertised a little differently? More neon, no barber pole?
Nice find. I think I am lucky to find the guys who have cut my hairā¦I would not put them in excellent category but key point is they almost always will pay attention to what I tell them. Not complicated reallyā¦but at one āfancyā place I went to a long time ago I came out thinking why pay so much to have some new style imposed on me?
When in Singapore I started using the big sister of one of the girls in my department. She was good so I was just willing to fork up more money. However, she moved to another higher end shop which was more costlyā¦and then onto one of the most expensive shops in Singapore. I went one time. I was sitting in the chair for over an hour but only took her less than 10 minutes to cut my hair. She kept apologizing but said the salonās style was to have her cut a little then move on and then come backā¦people were there for the āexperience/atmosphere.ā I used to skip the long hair washing anywayā¦so I definitely did not want to prolong my time in the shop. So I switched to a barbershop attached to a hotel. Much cheaper and I have always fit into the atmosphere of old farts chatting away in the barbershop.
My son came home somewhat pissed off. Another bad haircutā¦it seems to be hit and miss.
He mutteredā¦ " The only legal form of gambling in Taiwan is going for a haircut".
Please, donāt let him drive
Why is noone helping this poor man? Actually, I am curious too.
He lost interest in that real fast after quickly realizing nobody follows the rules he thought everyone would do as per the driving test
