The Best Hair Salons in Saigon

This content is provided by Cmego

One of the things to put on your bucket list when visiting Saigon is to experience the hair service at a local barbershop. I have three reasons to confidently make this recommendation. First, the hairdressers here are skilled. You can expect a trendy hairstyle or a good hair trimming to enhance what you have already. Second, the price is quite reasonable. Imagine walking around Saigon with a new hairstyle, maybe even better than what you can get in your hometown, that is five times cheaper! Third, when you’re in a new country, it’s fun and informative to understand basic facets of a culture- like cutting your hair.

Which salon should you trust among hundreds of places in Saigon? You will find your answer in this article! From female to male barber shops loved by a lot of locals and the expat community, I will cover them all here!

Female Hair Salons

Let’s start with the ladies!

Compared to the professional male barbershops in Saigon, the female hair salon is bustling! This is likely because the ladies love spending their leisure time at the hair salon. Sometimes I take a trip to the salon to have my hair washed together with a neck massage. Ladies, here are some specific names that I trust:

Amida Hair

Recommendation

What I adore the most about Amida Hair is their fantastic hair-washing service! Two years ago, I went to this salon to wait for my best friend while she got her hair dyed. To kill the time, I tried their services and fell in love with the smell of a Japanese shampoo they use called Keys. Not only did they wash and dry my hair but I also got a great head, neck and arm massage. For all of these services, it was only 150,000 VND. This price is a little higher than what you would find in a normal local shop, which I usually visit, but it’s reasonable for such services. Another thing that I like about this place is their friendly yet professional staff. They made me feel welcome the moment I stepped inside until I walked out.

Amida Hair also offers many other services such as cut, dye, bleach, perm, straightening, and more. Since this place is quite successful with word-of-mouth marketing, it’s always busy. If you don’t want to wait for long, it’s better to book a slot through their Facebook page or phone number.

Rose’s Bang Salon

Those looking for a stand-out place that expertly colors hair should definitely check out Rose’s Bang Salon. This place is trusted by many female expats and locals living in Saigon. My first impression upon walking inside is the bright and spacious room with modern design. Rose’s Bang Salon is famous for Olaplex service, which is a therapy to dye, straighten or curl your hair without damaging it. From the outstanding ombre technique to the impressive dip dye, you will leave satisfied when looking at your smooth and shiny outcome after they finish their work.

ACE London Hair

Nothing can bust my bad mood than going shopping or changing my hairstyle. ACE London Hair is one of the places I trust the most. The very first thing that I fancy about this salon is their cool design with white brick walls, pastel curtains, and perfect lighting. What matters the most is the awesome work carried out by the ACE London Hair team. It’s hard to find someone to trust completely with something as precious as my hair. But I decided to trust ACE London last year to re-style my long hair to a short crop, and I was amazed by the cute bob I left with. Since then, ACE London Hair is on my top list of recommendations.

In addition, no one can understand a European better than a European! My friends who have blond hair are also fond of ACE London because owners Michael and Chiyono know how to treat their blond hair right, without burning or ruining it. Regardless of the Western price list, this is a must-go place if you want to have a hair makeover.
