Each cut at a street barber takes 20 to 30 minutes and costs only VND50,000 to VND60,000, equivalent to between US$2.2 and US$2.6.

It is an interesting experience to sit on the sidewalk in the morning whilst breathing fresh air and smelling fragrant flowers flowing through the streets and going for a haircut.
