Last year, we visited Oi Kwan Barbers in Hong Kong for a relaxing traditional hot towel wet shave with a pre-shave facial cleansing. For 58 years Oi Kwan Barbers has been serving the local community around Spring Garden Lane in the Wan Chai district of Hong Kong. Originally opened by Master Lau who was from from China’s Guangdong Province and came to Hong Kong in the 1950s. The shop is now operated by his son Mark Lau.

In 2017 Mark opened a second new shop, featured in this video, on Mallory Street and located in a restored historic Chinese house shop building. The shop was a tribute to his late father and Guangdong barbering culture. Considered a middle class barbershop, the space was a respite from Hong Kong’s urban jungle where a customer indulges in a personalized shave or haircut service.
Mark’s intention was always to preserve a part of Hong Kong’s community barbering history. Sadly, a combination of the pro-democracy demonstrations last year and the pandemic this year has had a major impact on small businesses around the world.
Mark let us know he recently had to permanently close the Mallory Street shop where we filmed this video.
However, the Spring Garden Lane shop is still going, and offers an opportunity for you to feel the original Hong Kong style of barbering. Check them out next time you are in Hong Kong!
