Down an unmarked road (Spring Garden Lane if you look really hard), amongst Wanchai’s market lanes, you might just spot a tiny Shanghai-style alleyway barber. No English is spoken so get a friend or concierge to write how you’d like your hair cute in Chinese characters, or better yet, come with you.
HK$48, fifteen minutes and you’re done. In this time, absolute care and intricate devotion is shown to each and every strand of hair. You may not walk out with a Toni&Guy do, but it is cheap, it is simple and it is very cool. Ask nicely and you may be treated to a cutthroat razor shave.
