Halq (shaving the head) carries greater reward than Taqsir (trimming) for men.
Hygiene: The Golden Rule
"New Head, New Blade."
- Government regulations strictly require barbers to use a disposable, single-use razor blade for every customer.
- Watch him: Ensure he unwraps a fresh blade in front of you. If he tries to reuse one, STOP HIM.
Locations & Price
- Marwa Exit: Many shops, but very expensive (30-50 SAR) and rushed.
- Clock Tower (Basement/P3): Clean, AC, price fixed (approx 30-50 SAR).
- Ibrahim Al Khalil Rd: Cheaper shops (15-20 SAR).
- Kakiyah/Aziziyah: Local price (10-15 SAR).
DIY Option
Many pilgrims carry their own razor/trimmer and shave each other at the hotel to ensure hygiene and save money.
