The reputation
Where Style Meets Street Culture
Since opening our doors in 2017, we've built a reputation for delivering unmatched quality — sharp fades, expert grooming, and an atmosphere where culture and style collide. As the go-to barber shop near you in Patong, Bad Monkey is more than just a haircut: it's a full experience.
Patong attracts travelers from every continent, and so do our chairs. Day after day, we welcome an international clientele — locals, expats, tourists, nomads — which means our barbers work daily with every hair type, every texture, every face shape, and every style trend. Asian fine hair, European thickness, African curls, Middle Eastern beards, Latin volume — we've cut, faded, lined and shaped them all.
That breadth of experience is why international DJs, rap artists, boxing champions, and digital nomads alike choose us. From legends like DJ Snake, Seth Gueko, and Heuss L'Enfoiré to rising acts like I2H and Junior Mapr, our chairs have welcomed the very best.

The crew
Our Team Barber Shop Patong
Since 2017, we've been defining Phuket's look, thanks to the talent behind the tools.
At any given moment, you'll find 4 to 6 barbers minimum at our first location, and 4 to 9 at the second — staffing adjusted with the season and the time of day, so waiting times stay short and the energy stays right.
Every barber on our team is experienced and trained to the same high standard. They work side by side, share techniques, back each other up, and deliver the same quality no matter which chair you're in.

Best fade I've had in Thailand. Sharp, fast, and no bullshit.
These guys know what they're doing. Attention to detail is next level.
