Beauty Services in Hong Kong
The majority of people in Hong Kong invest a great deal of money and time into looking their best. It is usually very easy to get an appointment at the salon of your choice as the majority of them are heavily staffed. However, the service may not always be efficient and you may find that your hairdresser is dealing with more than one customer at once so it is usually prudent to allow at least one and a half hours for a simple haircut.
There are a wide range of different salons and treatments to choose from, some of which are presented below. All of the salons listed belowhave English-speaking staff:
Hair Salons
Airplay Blow Dry Bar
If you fancy sipping a cocktail while having your locks groomed; his is the place for you. It’s blowouts only, which means no cuts or colors. However, if you’re off for a special night out and have little time for a full-on make-over, Airplay’s the place to be. You can even add $180 for makeup services.
