Pretty sure it’s not the same guy. She does have kids but current beau is a bit more recent.PSD_Kiwi wrote:Miguelito wrote:I'm pretty bummed because it was my go to spot, and you could get a haircut, executive shave, and a mani/pedi done all at the same time for $19.

My issues with the place are:
1. They seem to be all about the 'fade', but not very skilled at actually cutting hair on the top of your head.
2. They don't like it when you request a certain barber. They seem to have the guys on a rotation system and like to insist you are cut by the guy next in line for a customer.
A good alternative is the barber just south of the 2 Brown outlets on 57. $6 without a shampoo but he is very good.
Sothy leaving explains it. There were also those photos up from the Marine Ball, so I figured she had an American boyfriend and it was only a matter of time.
I always get a decent (not great, but much better than most) fade at Tokyo, no issues,no hipster crap.
Book online and you can request your barber.
Sothy has been married to that American guy for years, they've got grown kids together. He was working at the Embassy I believe and they moved back to the states once his posting was complete. I do agree that the service has gone a little downhill since she left though.
Cheers for the recommendation purple turtle, will give that place a go.

they are setting up a Tokyo Barber shop in Siem Reap maybe some staff have gone there to start it/train staffMiguelito wrote:I recently went to Tokyo Barber and there seems to have been massive staff turnover. It used to be my go-to spot, but no one seems to know what they’re doing there anymore.
If anyone on the off chance was Facebook friends with the barber Sokry there, please let me know.

I just didn't want a bunch of posts "I get mine cut on the corner in front of my gust house and it's fine." If you have specific suggestions that you vouch for, I would love to hear them.
I’m no oil rig worker or coal miner, but wtf with the manicure/pedicure thing you blokes?!
I use Tokyo for myself & the sprog; no complaints on the cuts at all, the dude Hongly is the best there to my mind, but I’ve only come away once thinking- meh, not quite what I wanted (too short, too late to complain!). They’re really good with my son & generally can cut anything I’ve shown them pictures of. I groom my own beard with clippers at home, but that service looks pretty decent there also.
I think I the major recommendation I heard previously (when it opened) were more for the “massage” services of some of the girls. It appears newcomers following that recommendation will be disappointed in the change of staff- last conversation I heard...
Manager: tell him you can’t do that.
Masseuse: /grimaces/nods
Clearly Sexpat Customer: walks out 5 mins later shaking his head without paying
The place I miss most was the Vietnamese guy that used to be on riverside. The shampoo up front was a 20 minute head massage which was 10/10 bliss; the cut 7/10- and all for $5.

It's all about the cuticles, bruh.Spigzy wrote:I’m no oil rig worker or coal miner, but wtf with the manicure/pedicure thing you blokes?!
And women notice that type of thing. So if I can get an extra service like that for $3 during my haircut, I consider it a cheap luxury and applaud myself on my time saving methods.
And the executive shave... They have a quick shave for $5 but it's using a cheap shaving foam and not that nice of a shave; the executive shave is $8 with a proper hot towel, shaving oil, nice foam, etc. 25 minutes. They have another level too for a 1 hour wet shave, but that just seem excessive.

Had an excellent haircut there - she not only fixed what the Khmer guy did, but prob the best cut I’ve had in years. $12 (which includes a free beer) for a long shampoo and a haircut by an Australian. Definitely found my new go-to.PSD_Kiwi wrote:Both.Miguelito wrote:I'm confused, is The Vine a bar or a hair salon?PSD_Kiwi wrote:The Vine on 172
