Chinatown Barber Shop Closeup

$7 haircut in progress. Michael showed us that there were many haircut places in this part of Chinatown. I like the lineup of chairs outside indicating there must be lines of people waiting sometimes. Well, for $7, I can imagine! I can't read Chinese although I can make out the characters that are the same a in Japanese and there are several types of $7 haircuts, as well as some choices that are a bit more expensive.

Great colours in this shot - the usual red but the purple makes it full of character too. Odd pink chair in front for the ladies - perhaps!

@michaelelliott @taffy - sure was a fun photowalk!

Nice colors

[Taffy]

Wonderful closeup - such an intimate look we get in this image compared to the other.

Fantastic picture.

This really could be in Hong Kong, it looks just like it.

[Marnie]

Looks so typically Asian despite being in NYC. Love that odd collection of chairs outside.

[Hazel]

I like the red and the purple and the mismatched chairs!

[Krista Marson]

so much to look at :)

Gosh, if there wasn't English on this building I'd have no idea what kind of business it was. Well, I could look in the windows and find out. Duh!!

lovely colourful shot. Not sure I'd be game for $7 haircut though!
