  • The legendary Osama 'Sam' Fakhoury from Kingsmen Barbershop invited me to try his new venue's complete luxury grooming experience. Is this the BEST barber in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia? I went to the affluent celebrity & expat hot spot of Damansara Heights to find out...
    0:05 - Republik Damansara Heights
    0:52 - Meeting Sam (owner & head barber)
    2:41 - Full tour of the new Kingsmen Barbershop
    4:06 - Kingsmen's VIP room
    4:45 - The HAIRCUT experience
    6:37 - Hair wash & BEARD TRIM
    8:23 - Japanese HEAD SPA & Hair Treatment
    8:52 - Head & Shoulder MASSAGE
    8:56 - FACIAL & Ultrasound Skin Treatment
    9:26 - The final haircut result
    9:45 - Interviewing Sam (prices, service, investing in yourself)
    12:57 - My honest opinion
    The whole men's spa ('care centre') experience lasted about 2 hours. It was incredibly relaxing and I felt like a million bucks after it. I wouldn't get the full treatment regularly but it's a great idea for a bi-annual treat or when you want to look your absolute best in Malaysia.
    I made sure to push Sam on the prices for you guys as I'm all about affordable luxury. Every new member gets a 15% discount & they frequently offer discounts. Mention I sent you and I'm sure he'll look after you. Also for the ladies, perhaps this would make a great gift for your partner (& you can even join the couples experience package!)

    Hi mate, if 126 RMB is the top end luxury, what's it cost for a regular no frills cut where you just sit down, get cut, pay and walk out? Assuming 20-40 RMB?

    • @msl1689
      @msl1689 2 месяца назад +1

      RMB? That's Chinese Yuan. Do you mean RM (Ringgit Malaysia)?

    • @JackAlderton
      @JackAlderton  2 месяца назад +1

      Hey, yeah your typical haircut in KL with no frills will cost anywhere between 20-40 RM, you're right. You can find as low as 10RM, but you're probably sacrificing a bit there haha

      ​@@Yasin_Affandi Great question. I really loved my first apartment here, and have also been super impressed by the rooftop & sky bars as we don't really have that in Australia. I've been fine dining once in KL (Marini's), and it was definitely nice.
      I'm actually pretty simple in day-to-day life & really appreciate the luxury experiences when they come. I do my best to keep it authentic but RUclips and other social media are a little bit like my highlight reel!

      Good right? They sorted me out with the full package, so it would run up a lot for everything. The cut, was and trim is closer to 100RM, not cheap by KL standards but honestly I do think it's worth it for an occasional luxury.

    A swanky place. But there are rich gays who may afford it. 120 ringgits isn’t very much. It is expensive but acceptable. How far would they go with the massage ? Nowadays we know that the majority of males desire other men. The Aussie boy should have hinted something about that kind of service too -)

    • @JackAlderton
      @JackAlderton  Месяц назад +1

      I'm not sure the majority of males desire other men! But nonetheless this is a very professional place and I felt very comfortable. It's high-end and they wouldn't accomodate that, but I know I'm being a bit suggestive in the title - they certainly have a sense of humour haha
