Surprisingly for an island of only around 1200 people there are three different barber shops all of which are located on the Kratie side of the island. I was in need of a smarter haircut with Christmas, New Years Eve and an island based wedding fast approaching.
We found the small blue painted sign with the quoted prices and entered the barber shop which consisted of a chair and mirror underneath a house. First things first I needed to choose a style and was handed a stack of DVD music covers to select my look from.
Once we had decided upon a suitably good looking pop star as a guide the barber set about the task fairly tentatively.
My hair has always been a bit of a mop and it did't take long before the clippers were clogged up. A squirt of oil later and things were progressing once more. Next the top was neatly scissor cut, the sides were faded nicely and the edges were finished off using a fresh razor blade.
After about fifteen minutes the job was done and I'm pretty pleased with the finished hair cut. This cost 3000 Riel and can be found if you head north from the bike hire, it's the second barber along the stretch.
