Old Barber Shop is a Rare key in MW4 DMZ. It opens a small barber shop on the south side of Songdo Wharf, grid I7, with a waiting room, a back room full of lockers and the old barber chairs. Below is where the door is, how to get there and what we found inside.

TL;DR
  • The door is in the row of shops on the south side of Songdo Wharf (I7), a grey double door under a pink nail salon sign.
  • Only worth it if you have the key and are on Songdo Wharf anyway, which was a Low threat area in our run.
  • 14 containers with a lot of armor plates and medical gear, and an Epic Cipher Code Ledger worth $5,000 as our best find.
  • A door in the back room has a deadbolt you can open from the inside, so you are not stuck with one way out.

Where the Old Barber Shop Door Is

The Old Barber Shop is on the south side of Songdo Wharf, grid I7, in the row of small shops along the waterfront. Look for the grey double door under the pink nail salon sign with the hibiscus flower, with a tall pink sign on the left of the door. Songdo Wharf was a Low threat area in our run. You can also find the door under the keys layer on our interactive MW4 DMZ map.

How to Get the Old Barber Shop Key

The Old Barber Shop key is field loot, so it can drop from ordinary containers on Hajin. Every other key and the door it opens is in our MW4 DMZ keys guide.

The Route to the Door

  1. Go to the south side of Songdo Wharf, where a row of small shops faces the waterfront.
  2. Walk along the shop fronts until you see the pink nail salon sign with the hibiscus flower.
  3. The grey double door under that sign is the Old Barber Shop. Unlock it and step into the waiting room.

What Is Inside the Old Barber Shop

The shop has a waiting room with a sofa and a counter, a back room with a row of military lockers and MINA MS41 crates, and the room with the barber chairs. We opened 14 containers in it. There are four military lockers, two MINA MS41 crates, two military bags, two jackets, a rifle case, an armor box, a cache and a cash register.

From one opening in our own run. Loot is random, so your room can roll differently, and we add every new run of this key. Values are per item, from the in-game tooltips. The carried out value is the change in the loadout value the game shows while you loot.

Armor plates are everywhere in this shop. We counted 15 of them across the armor box, the cache, the crates and the lockers, along with Stims and a Rare Defibrillator. The military lockers held the best loot, an Epic Cipher Code Ledger worth $5,000 and a Legendary Revive Pistol. One of the military bags held a key for the Commandant Office at the Chang-san Air Base, but keys roll randomly, so do not count on finding one. A door in the back room has a deadbolt you can unlock from the inside, which gives you a second way out.

Is the Old Barber Shop Key Worth It?

Not really. Open it only if you already have the key, you are in the area anyway and want to add it to your loot round on Songdo Wharf. It is not worth a trip on its own.
