Barber Shop and Bathhouse - Hanoi, Vietnam
Step into the rich history of Hanoi with a glimpse into the nearly century-old Pham Ngoc Phuc Barber Shop and Bathhouse, nestled at the crossroads of Hang Bong and Quan Su streets. This iconic establishment, with its faded sign and weathered façade, evokes nostalgia for a bygone era, possibly dating back to pre-1954 French colonial times. Neighbors said that this house was owned by Mr. Pham Ngoc Phuc, one of Hanoi's first bourgeois. This venue was the first in Vietnam to apply the model of barbering combined with a public sauna. Over its illustrious history, it has catered to patrons from all walks of life, its enduring charm captured within its original bathing boxes. Despite a fire in the 1970s that marred its grandeur, the house still stands, a testament to its enduring legacy amidst the modern skyline.
