The act of having one's hair cut.
문화적 배경
Avoid cutting hair on the first day of the lunar month (mùng 1) as it is believed to bring bad luck for the rest of the month. Many students avoid cutting their hair before a big exam like the University Entrance Exam, fearing they will 'cut away' their knowledge. Sidewalk barbers (cắt tóc vỉa hè) are a staple of Hanoi and Saigon, offering cheap, quick cuts and a place for men to socialize. The proverb 'Cái răng cái tóc là góc con người' emphasizes that hair is a key part of one's dignity and character.
