Barbers

Barbers from the Middle East – Lebanon, Turkey, Syria, Jordan – all have spruced up salons and are reminiscent of the mid-1990s in India, when the urban male found the need for a salon atmosphere to get a haircut. The Filipinos come closest to turning the entire process of male grooming into an art. In fact they have flair, style and speed in the way they go about things. The Indians, largely from the south are terribly functional. Which is why I find the Pakistanis the best. Their attention to detail and pampering of customers combines all of the above.
