💈Neighborhood Styles 💈

Have you ever walked into a trendy barbershop or hairdresser, only to be intimidated by walls of hair wax ads and the sharp stares of tattooed stylists, instantly giving you ‘fashion anxiety’? 💈💇🏻

😉Don’t worry. Just around almost every corner in this city, there are always a few brightly lit quick haircut services in the neighbourhood, just waiting to give you a fresh, clean look in just a few minutes and for just a few patacas. These ‘neighborhood quick-cut bases’ are essentially the ‘Cha Chaan Teng’ of the hairstylist world.

你是否也曾有過這樣的體驗——走進裝潢時尚的男士理髮店，被滿牆的髮蠟廣告和刺青師傅的凌厲眼神震懾，瞬間患上「潮人恐懼症」？💈💇🏻💇🏻‍♀️

😉別慌，在這座城市的轉角處，總有那麼幾間燈火通明的小店，只需幾分鐘，些許零錢就能讓你擁有一個清新乾淨的
造型。這些被我們稱為「美髮界的茶餐廳」的神奇存在，其實是街坊速剪基地。

需要理髮，但卻不想在美髮中心耗上一整天，更不願花大錢？或者只是想體驗道地友善的本地文化與服務？不妨試試澳門的社區理髮店。幾乎每個街區都有一間傳統理髮店，尤其是在舊區的街巷裡。我們走訪了當中幾間，並認識了一些數十年來服務社區、助人們保持儀容整潔精緻的傑出髮型師。

本地藝術界一直活力十足，今個月亦不例外。首推攝影師David Hartung 於氹仔舊城區藝術空間展出的「四川味道：致敬川菜藝術」，震撼影像令人驚豔。這位定居澳門多年的美國攝影師近期走遍四川，創作出是次攝影展及同步推出的咖啡桌書，記錄獨特的川菜文化背後的風味與人物故事。

越過邊境來到珠海，我們探訪了由來自澳門的 Clara Brito與來自北京的顧振青聯合策展的「她徑·她相」攝影展，欣賞五位才華洋溢的藝術家以女性視角探索身份、抵抗與文化轉化等議題。我們亦專訪本地多媒體製作人 Pedro Luz，探討他的創作如何以前所未見的視角呈現澳門風貌。此外，我們還親赴第25屆平遙國際攝影大展現場，欣賞攝影佳作。

回到澳門，我們採訪了另一位美國藝術家 Charlie Perez-Tlatenchi。最近，他與幾位本地藝術家聯袂參與了由張頴嵐策展的「東方花園後」展覽。

九月初，澳門新濠影滙W酒店舉辦了「W呈獻」2025大中華區巡演壓軸站，邀請國際矚目歌手 HAYLA 帶來活力四射的精彩演出。新濠影滙亦正舉辦萬聖節盛典「心寒影匯二」，打造驚嚇與萌趣並存的玩樂體驗。

本期另邀你跟隨 Cristiana Figueiredo 展開為期三天的台灣公路之旅，探訪絕美景點；並來到本地養生專家 Ashish 和 Renu Dhawan夫婦及兩個女兒的家。十八年來，這對夫婦持續開設瑜伽課程，致力提升澳門居民的健康水準。

美食方面，我們專訪了「和牛黑手黨」的主廚濱田壽人。這位廚藝大師時隔六年重返澳門美高梅，率領熱情洋溢的團隊為食客獻上頂級和牛饗宴。我們亦採訪了首屆「法國國際美食協會青年廚藝賽澳門區選拔賽」的主辦方，見證本地廚壇新秀的誕生。

讓我們繼續享受這座城市的一切美好。祝你閱讀愉快！

Need a haircut but don’t want to spend all day in the salon and fork out a fortune. Or maybe you’d just like to experience some authentically friendly local culture and service. Either way, Macau’s neighbourhood barbershops and hairdressers are always open for business, and there’s one on nearly every block, especially in the older parts of town. In this issue, we visit a few of them to meet the interesting characters that have been serving their communities and keeping people looking sharp and trendy for decades.

The local arts scene is always vibrant and this month is no exception, starting with stunning images from photographer David Hartung in his latest exhibition THE FLAVORS of SICHUAN: A Tribute to the Art of Sichuan Cuisine at the Taipa Village Art Space. Based in Macau for years, the American photographer recently travelled throughout Sichuan documenting the flavours and people behind this unique cuisine, for his exhibition and new coffee table book.

Just across the border in Zhuhai, we check out an exhibition of compelling photographic works by five talented female artists, Other Ports, Other Looks curated by Clara Brito from Macau and Gu Zhenqing from Beijing. We also speak with local multimedia producer Pedro Luz about his groundbreaking productions capturing views of Macau like never seen before. And we visit the 25th edition of the Pingyao International Photography Festival.

Back in Macau, we speak with another American artist, Charlie Perez-Tlatenchi who recently presented his paintings at Casa Garden, along with local artists, in an exhibition entitled After Oriental Garden curated by Kathine Cheong.

In early September, W Macau – Studio City hosted the grand finale of the 2025 W PRESENTS Greater China tour, featuring a high-energy performance by internationally acclaimed artist HAYLA. And currently Studio City is also presenting the second edition of Studio Creepy guaranteed to deliver some scary experiences this Halloween.

Also in this issue, we take a fascinating three-day road trip in Taiwan with Cristiana Figueiredo, as she guides us to some beautiful locations. And we meet local healthcare experts Ashish and Renu Dhawan and their two girls, who have been helping Macau residents improve their health with yoga for the past 18 years.

Finally, in the world of Gourmet, we chat with Chef Hisato Hamada, founder of WAGYUMAFIA, who recently returned to MGM Macau, along with his rowdy team of passionate chefs to serve up some delicious Wagyu delicacies. And we speak to the organisers of the inaugural Macau National Jeunes Chefs Rôtisseurs Competition, who are helping to encourage and promote excellence among the new generation of Macau chefs.

Keep enjoying all the city has to offer this month and Happy Reading!
