Our today’s Story features a street barber! So let’s talk about haircuts, hairdresser’s, and a barbershop in Chinese 💇💇♂️
⭐️
✂️ 理发 lǐ fà – to cut hair
⭐️
Using this phrase, you can build more words:
💁🏻♂️理发师 lǐfàshī – hairdresser; barber
(“cutting-hair-master”)
💈理发店 lǐfàdiàn – hairdresser’s; hair salon; barber shop (“cutting-hair-store”)
⭐️
If you want to get a haircut in China, simply search for a 理发店 lǐfàdiàn on Dianping. You could always just walk into the nearest 理发店 lǐfàdiàn and get your hair done – but Dianping often offers coupons and discounts up to 50% of the walk-in price!
⭐️⭐️
You can also look for a synonym:
✂️ 剪发 jiǎn fà – to have one’s hair cut
(from 修剪头发 xiūjiǎn tóufa)
⭐️⭐️
Or a more “fancy” phrase:
美发 měi fà – to have one’s hair done
(“beautiful-hair”)
All these words will appear in Dianping listings, so they’re worth remembering📝
