Beijing Barbershops - BBS

When you go inside, they first will force you to select a girl. Most time, there will be a "Mamasan" boss who will introduce you to the girl. You should also negotiate the price now, otherwise they will try to cheat you later. (If you don`t speak chinese, the barbershop experience will not be easy for you, because you will not find a mamasan or a girl can speak english there, because most of the girls are from countryside and not so well educated). After you selected your girl, they will guide you to a seperate room, normaly equipped with a massage table. When you are alone with you, she will start massage you a little bit (with definitly no skills), than very fast she will start to massage you at a special area, most barbershops will also offer BJ and full service. 

Most time, they will ask around RMB 100,- up to RMB 300,- for a full service session (normally not more than 10 to 15 minutes). If you want to spend more time, they will loose patience very fast. Barbershop Business is a "fast-time-fun".

Warning:

First they will push you a lot to take a second, third girl, so if you can not tell them very clear, you don`t want, they will first disturb you every 2 minutes, second push you a lot. So best way, you do like you want to leave without payment, than they will understand very fast that it is better to let you enjoy the service now.

Second, they will try to ask for extra money for extra service all the time, so also make very clear, what you are willing to pay for the service you expect. Than don`t accept any negotiation any more.

Third you should know, these places are not high level shops, that means don`t expect a clean well decorated shop. A typical beijing Barbershop has bad smell and dirty floors. Also the massage table will be dirty and they not even change the towel or cover for every customer, so also the hygienic conditions don`t match western standards. If you like to have more clean entertainment, you have to spend mutch more, but you will get longer service under better hygienic conditions in a high class beijing sauna.
