About Mei Shing Barber Shop

Mei Shing Barber Shop offers a friendly and skilled haircutting experience. Customers receive a professional haircut and shave, with a gentle touch and no harsh chemicals, all for a reasonable price. The barbershop caters to a diverse clientele, providing quick and satisfactory service in a welcoming atmosphere. Customers often return for the shop's reliable and affordable haircuts.

The service is great, and the place has character. The barbers pay attention to every detail, ensuring the hair is shaved and cut exactly as the customer wants. They speak some English, and there are also posters on the wall to help if needed. The cut itself is only $12, with a wash not included. There are usually four barbers on duty, and customers can request their preferred barber. The shop is sometimes open past 7:30 pm, which is a major plus for those who need a late-night trim.

Customers have been blown away by the straight razor shave experience, which is both relaxing and precise. The barber is friendly and takes his time to ensure a perfect result, all for just $12. This level of service would typically cost much more elsewhere in the city. Even with a packed waitlist, the barber still accommodates walk-in customers. For top-notch service without the hefty price tag, this place is a hidden gem.

I got a great haircut from Benny. It’s the best haircut I’ve gotten in a long time and just what I needed at my first day at my new job. Thank you, Benny, see you next time.

The service was great! No frills looking place, but it’s got character. They really pay attention to every detail, making sure your hair is shaved and cut exactly how you want it. They speak some English, but there are also posters on the wall to help if you need a little extra help. The cut itself is only $12, wash not included. There are usually four barbers on duty, and they take turns serving customers. But if you have a regular barber you prefer, just let them know! Major plus is sometimes they’re open past 7:30pm if you get off late and need a trim.

Absolutely blown away by this barber shop in chinatown! I popped in for a straight razor shave, and it was hands down the most relaxing experience – smooth, precise, and so comfortable I nearly dozed off. The barber is a super friendly guy who took his time to ensure not a single hair was left behind, even with a hot towel treatment, all for just $12! Seriously, you’d be paying $50 or more for this kind of service anywhere else in the city. Even with a packed waitlist, he still squeezed me in as a walk-in. If you’re after top-notch service without the hefty price tag, this place is a hidden gem. Best bang for your buck in the city, no doubt!
