4Rau Barber Deluxe takes a familiar haircut and gives it a proper barbershop setting: vintage touches, professional grooming, and a choice between a styled cut and a cut with a hot and cold towel shave. In District 1, it’s an easy stop to fit around a day in central Ho Chi Minh City.
I like the useful choice of two clearly defined packages, and I like that the service is built around more than the clipper work: shampoo and styling come with the haircut, while the second option adds a relaxing shave. The main catch is the appointment rule. You must reserve after buying, at least three hours ahead, and a delay of more than 15 minutes can cost you the appointment.

A men’s barbershop with a clear purpose
4Rau Barber Deluxe, also known locally as Tiem Tóc Cua Chú Tu, is a men-only barbershop in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. It has been operating since 2015, with a focus on haircuts, traditional shaves, and contemporary grooming. The idea is straightforward: come in for a cut, a shave, or a change in style, and leave with your hair cleaned and finished.
That mix of old and new is part of the appeal. A classic barber shave sits alongside fades, beard trims, perms, and bold hair colors. The specific voucher options focus on the haircut and shave rather than every service the shop offers, so don’t assume a perm or dye is part of either package.
I’d think of this as a practical bit of self-care rather than a sightseeing stop. You’re not signing up for a guided tour or a long cultural program. You’re booking a personal service with a local business, in a central location, and choosing how much grooming you want included.

Choosing between the two packages
Combo 1 includes a haircut, shampoo, pomade styling, and blow-dry. It’s the simpler choice if you want a fresh cut and a finished look without adding a shave. The shampoo and styling make it more complete than a basic clipper visit, especially if you have plans afterward and want your hair set before you head out.
Combo 2 includes the same haircut, shampoo, and pomade styling, plus a relaxing hot and cold towel shave. This is the package to consider if you want a more traditional barbershop visit. The towels make the shave the main added element, so it’s a better fit for a leisurely grooming break than for someone who only wants a quick trim.
Both packages are priced per person. The available starting prices show Combo 1 from US$17.39 and Combo 2 from US$22.39, while the experience price is also listed from $19.15. Those figures don’t line up exactly, so check the final price shown for your chosen package before paying. The shave option costs more, but its extra service may be worth it if you want the full barber-shop treatment rather than the basic haircut-and-style combination.
What the appointment includes
The service is more than a haircut alone. In Combo 1, you get the cut, shampoo, pomade styling, and blow-dry. In Combo 2, the hot and cold towel shave joins that same set of services. A free drink is also included, giving you one small comfort during the visit.
The information doesn’t specify the length of an appointment, how the barber consults with you, or which haircut styles are available on the day. If you have a precise cut in mind, it’s sensible to bring a reference image and explain what you want before the barber starts. For a major style change, be clear about the length and finish you prefer. A recommendation can be helpful, but you should still describe your boundaries.
Feedback on the service has been particularly strong around the haircut quality, attentiveness, and shop atmosphere. One customer booked the service for her father, who liked it. Another appreciated a barber’s suggestion for a new hairstyle. That’s encouraging if you’re open to advice, though I’d still speak up if you want to keep your usual style.
Dong Du Street and the District 1 location
The shop is at 59 Dong Du, Ben Nghe, District 1, a central address described as being just in front of the Sheraton Hotel. That makes it convenient to pair with other plans in the city center. You don’t need to build a whole day around the appointment, though you should leave enough time to arrive calmly and find the entrance.
The central location also helps if you’re staying nearby or want a grooming stop between other activities. But don’t let that convenience tempt you into arriving at the last minute. The appointment rules are firm: arriving late can shorten your service, and being more than 15 minutes late without notice can lead to cancellation.
You’re asked to look after your own belongings, and the operator does not accept responsibility for lost items. Participants who appear intoxicated may be refused service. These are ordinary precautions, but they’re worth keeping in mind when you’re planning a busy day out.
Booking and timing require a little care
Buy the voucher first, then request an appointment through the bookings page in the app. You must reserve at least three hours in advance, and the earlier you ask, the better your chance of getting your preferred time. The operator confirms the actual slot after you make the request, so don’t treat the displayed availability as a guaranteed appointment.
The listed reservation availability runs Monday through Sunday from 10:00 to 19:30. The shop’s opening hours are also listed as 10:00 to 18:30, with last admission at 18:00. Since those time ranges differ, confirm your appointment time directly before setting out, particularly if you hope to visit late in the day.
Your voucher is valid for 60 days from the booking confirmation date and expires at midnight on the final day. Bring the mobile voucher to the shop. You receive confirmation within minutes; if it doesn’t appear, contact customer support.
If your plans change, a full refund is available when you cancel at least 24 hours before the activity date, using local destination time. A no-show at your confirmed appointment time is not refundable. The timing rules are easy enough to follow, but this is not a good booking to leave until you know your schedule only at the last minute.
Is the price good value?
The price makes most sense if you want several grooming steps in one visit. Combo 1 combines the haircut with shampoo and styling, while Combo 2 adds the towel shave. You’re paying for a finished service, not just time in the barber chair, and the free drink is a modest extra.
Still, compare the final voucher price with booking directly before you commit. One customer who liked the haircut advised that booking directly could be cheaper. That is useful advice, but not a fixed rule: prices can change, and a voucher may suit you if you value having the package and payment sorted in advance. Check both options, including what each one actually includes, rather than comparing only the headline amount.
The experience has a perfect 5.0 rating from eight listed customer ratings, with praise focused on haircuts, service, and ambiance. That is a promising signal, but it’s a small sample, not a guarantee that every cut will match your taste. Clear communication with your barber still matters.
Who will get the most from 4Rau
This shop is a good fit if you’re a man looking for a haircut in central Ho Chi Minh City and appreciate having shampoo and styling included. It also suits you if you want a traditional shave as part of the visit, or if you’re willing to hear a barber’s ideas about a new hairstyle.
It may be less suitable if you need a walk-in service, have a tight schedule, or want a service not covered by the two packages. The advance reservation, short late-arrival window, and limited information about appointment length call for a little planning. If you’re unsure whether a perm, dye, or beard trim can be added, ask the shop directly before relying on the voucher to cover it.
Should you book 4Rau Barber Deluxe?
Book it if you want a men’s haircut with a polished finish, or if the added towel shave sounds like a worthwhile treat. The central address and two package choices make the service easy to fit into a city stay, and the free drink is a pleasant extra.
Before you pay, compare the voucher price with direct booking, confirm which package you want, and request your appointment promptly. If you can arrive on time and explain the style you’re after, 4Rau is a sensible, well-rated grooming stop in District 1. If your schedule is uncertain or you only want a quick walk-in trim, choose a shop with looser booking rules.
