Under-The-Tree-Shade Barber



You might wonder what these makeshift tents under the trees by the road side are. But if you look closer, you'll find this:



Yes, they are barber kiosks. We call them DPR (di bawah pohon rindang or under the tree shade) barber.



They are pretty good, and inexpensive. The barbers are very friendly too.

  1. Hi Eki. These are wonderful pictures to give us the mood of the place.
    Do these barbers cut women's hair too? I would go.

  2. Fun barber find! I wonder how much they charge? I pay $20 for a haircut and tip to the barber here in Eagan!
