(Baonghean.vn) – The tiny sidewalk barber shops with the barbers always smiling warmly have become unforgettable, simple memories for many generations of Vinh city residents.

Nestled under old royal poinciana trees on the sidewalks or in small streets, sidewalk barber shops are simply set up. |
 |
Sidewalk barber shops have been around for many years and generations. |
 |
Just need some simple tools like: aMirror, comb, clippers, chair… have become a hair "salon". |
 |
Usually, the price for each haircut and shave is only from 10,000 to 20,000 VND. Although there are many luxury barber shops springing up, many people still go to sidewalk barber shops. |

Most of the street barbers are old people. Some were soldiers, some were workers… |

The shops only have 5 to 10 customers a day, mostly regulars. In their spare time, barbers often find their own entertainment space. |
 |
Rain or shine, sidewalk barber shops under the shade of purple flowers and royal poincianas are always open and appear as if they want to preserve a bit of the past. |
