Snip, snip snip...
Most people do not think of getting a haircut here... I mean how long will you be here anyway??? No one is going to travel here for a haircut... are they. Hey I can see a whole new industry here. It could be called "Hairstyle Travel." Well why not, after-all there is Medical Travel and Dentistry Travel so why not Hairstyle Travel. And that thought conjures all manner of possibilities. Get a inexpensive hair style and cut... and throw in a holiday in the process.
So here in Quetzaltenago, Guatemala if you do want a tidy up.. well for the guys you can head down to 8th calle and 10 avenida in zona one, just south of parque central. Here in a few steps in from the corner is a place with plenty of chairs and plenty or eager barbers to take care of you. They even have a chair set up like a racing car for the younger kids. You will never have to wait here very long but if you do, you can always chat with someone to practice your espanol or read a local newspaper. Haircuts cost a whopping Q10 ($1.25) for a cut of your choice.
Many times I have sat in chairs there, watching as my greyish brown locks mix with the black hair on the floor. I am always in and out very quick and efficient.
Ladies for reasonable cuts there are two places side by side in Mont Blanc 4th calle and 19th avenida in zona 3. The Mont Blanc mall is just a short distance and very close to the large Democracia market that you should also check out. Cuts go for around Q90 ($11.25). I have never understood why the gals pay more.
So if you are looking for that tidy up and want a great haircut at really great prices, take a look at places lke these. But don't take my word for it check it out yourself.
