Songniyom barber (ทรงนิยม ตัดผมชาย) — Local services in Chiang Mai Province

I don’t usually write bad reviews, specially in developing countries as I understand this is people’s livelihood and that’s why I’m giving them 3 stars still even though I think it deserves much less. For starters they charged 350 for a haircut and beard trim (not shave, which usually is included in the price as you can’t just leave a beard long after a fade…) which is way way more expensive than anything in the area!

The persona of the Barber is for Customers to boost ego along with the Barbershop. I'm not into that. After receiving the cut✂️, the barber asked us if we could take a photo all to do absolutely nothing with it. It's the principle of asking for a photo to present it on your business feed and my wife & I agreed to do it, and the photo went no where. I know professionalism when I am in the presence of it. It's not about the talent as a Barber, it's about the principle of asking for something from me and not following...
