A relaxing environment can turn an hour at a barbershop into genuine time for care and relaxation. And a barber who truly understands a customer can transform an ordinary haircut into a more personalized experience. This shift is driving the barbershop model in a new direction: from a place that simply provides haircuts to a space that brings together men’s grooming, relaxation and lifestyle. This is the experience that East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) – a Vietnamese men’s grooming brand is bringing to the Chinese market. **From Vietnam to China: East West Barbershop**** (Dong Tay Barbershop)**** Brings a Proven Model to a New Market** Starting with its first store in 2018, East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) has gradually expanded its network, standardized its operating processes and built a professional team in the men’s grooming sector. After years of development in Vietnam, East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) began expanding into international markets, with China becoming one of the important markets in its international journey. In 2024, East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) opened its first store in China, marking a transition from a brand developed primarily in Vietnam to one with an international presence. But entering a new market does not mean simply replicating an existing model. ![The Chinese market represents the next step in taking a model developed in Vietnam to the international stage.](https://images.media-outreach.com/release.php/Thumb/ 1600x1200/805051/805051-2-1-jpg-1600x1200.jpeg) _The Chinese market represents the next step in taking a model developed in Vietnam to the international stage._ For a service brand, one of the greatest challenges of internationalization is ensuring that an experience developed in one market can resonate with consumers in another. East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) has chosen to preserve the core values of its model: A strong focus on customer experience, professional barbering expertise, thoughtfully designed spaces and a diverse service ecosystem. At the same time, it adapts and localizes its approach to meet the needs and consumption habits of Chinese consumers. East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) brings with it the experience accumulated through years of hands-on operations and applies it to a new market, where the model can be further tested, refined and developed. This is also how East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) approaches internationalization: Building its model in Vietnam, then testing and localizing it in the Chinese market. For Chinese consumers, this creates another option in an increasingly diverse men’s grooming market: A barbershop experience originating from Southeast Asia, yet designed around the needs of today’s modern customers. **When a Haircut Becomes Part of a Lifestyle** For many years, the criteria for evaluating a barbershop were relatively simple: Whether the haircut was quick and neat, whether the style met expectations, and whether the price was reasonable. But for younger consumers, these criteria are gradually changing. They may spend more time researching hairstyles that suit them. They are also paying greater attention to a barber’s technical expertise, consultation and communication, as well as the overall experience throughout the service. In particular, as the pace of urban life continues to accelerate, having time dedicated to oneself is increasingly becoming part of the consumption experience. As a result, the question a modern barbershop needs to answer is no longer simply,“ How can we give customers a good haircut?” but rather: **“How can we deliver the best overall experience for our customers?”** East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) is pursuing precisely this approach. Its customer experience is built around more than just haircuts. Customers can choose from services including haircuts, shampooing, facial and neck massage, hair restoration, perming, coloring, nail care and shoe cleaning. At some stores, the spaces are designed with facilities such as pianos, billiard tables, chess boards, reading areas, bars and fresh ice cream machines, creating a more diverse leisure environment where customers can relax before, during and after their services. In the future, as men become increasingly attentive to appearance, personal style and service quality, the boundaries between a traditional “barbershop” and a dedicated“ men’s grooming space” are likely to become increasingly blurred. This is precisely the direction East West Barbershop aims to continue exploring. From Vietnam to China, East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop)’s international journey is about more than simply opening another store overseas. More importantly, it represents the process of a men’s grooming model developed in Vietnam adapting, evolving and creating new experiences for male consumers in China.
