A barbershop in Hanoi is a different thing from a massage. A massage is one course and out; a barbershop has an order to it — hair and face tidied, then the shave and ear cleaning that give it a finish, then foot callus work and shoulder and arm treatment. You leave with your face and your body both feeling lighter.

It suits a business trip better than people expect: a tidy-up before a meeting, a shampoo and shave before a night out, and the feet you have been walking on all day, all in one sitting.

Courses run from a shampoo and basic face tidy, through shave and ear cleaning, foot callus and full-body fatigue work, shoulder and arm focus, up to four-hand treatment. Four-hand takes a lot of hands, so it is worth checking availability for the day.

There is also a course that is not on the menu. We will tell you about it if you ask.
