I'm actually having a similar problem in Taiwan right now. I planned a 7-week vacation and got my bear trimmed by a US barber one week before I left the states. The problem was I knew my beard would start to look a little too unorganized in about 4-5 weeks. I'm 5 weeks in now and have been trying to find a good barber in Taiwan but all of them want $30 just for a beard trim since they're not use to that request. Unfortunately I seem to be stuck going to clubs with a longer and less-neat beard than I desire.

$30 every 5 weeks stops you from getting a beard trim?
What are you used to paying?

A beard trim in a US barber shop is maybe $7-8 by itself after tip so I feel like $30 just to do the beard is a complete ripoff when I usually wait the same amount of time back home. Especially when I think about the fact that I don't think these guys in Taiwan really know what they're doing when it comes to cutting beards. Not a lot of people seem to have good familiarity with my request.

I might take Bongo's advice and try to find balm or wax or just wait until I get back to the Philippines where haircuts are much cheaper.
