What people are saying?
The good:
“This place was truly amazing! As a foreigner I wanted a place where there were English speakers and this place definitely had it. I was transferred here from another branch and Zenred kindly offered me a spot. I didn’t know what to expect coming into this salon, but I ended with amazing results. My normal hair was long, dry, and faded from my previous dye in the states. Zenred was able to make my hair healthy all over again. The staff knew sufficient English and were incredibly sweet. Three staffs worked on my hair while someone was fanning me when I didn’t ask for it. They were all so sweet. I did not feel out of place at all being a foreigner. Truly recommend this place!” – A review on facebook in June 2018
The not so good
“Horrible. I let them put in hair extensions for over 22.000 Baht. It looked cute at first. The hair was not of good quality. The keratin bonds were put way too close to my scalp, another hairdresser told me 4 days later when I paid another 3.000 Baht in Koh Samui to get the extensions removed in a very painful session. I contacted Zenred about this experience and they decided to ignore me. Please be warned. Also they hand you a piece of paper where they are quite passive-aggressive about customers not having to expect the staff to smile etc. Horrible place and way out of reach in a deserted shoppingmall” – A review on google in November 2018

Our take on the Zen Red
Zen Red may seem like a very popular salon with a lot of thumbs up reviews. But upon deep search into the reviews, reviewed something startling. Many people who rated the salon unfavourable wrote long lengthy, detailed reviews including attaching pictures of their spoiled hair due to the colouring. This is something to take note as it takes a really angry customer to go to such an extent. Furthermore, many of the poor reviews share common points such as overpricing, rude staff and staff talking loudly and laughing at the salon during hair treatment.
Our take is that Zen Red markets itself has a top-end, luxury hair salon with top pricing but they may not have service standards that reaches that standard. The mismatch in expectations led to the more picky customers getting disappointed and upset by their service.
The pricing can also get quite high especially if you do not clarify properly. Be sure to book an appointment and ask for the pricing clearly if you do decide to visit!

What people are saying
The good:
“I’m a regular customer more than 18 years , never been disappointed. I did many things from hair extensions, balayages, highlights and so on. They always make me happy and look pretty. I love them.” – A review on google in 2017
The not so good:
“Felt completely shafted by this place! I’ve had balayage done numerous times in Bangkok and have never paid over 4500 baht. Those salons were on Sukhumvit and in more in demand areas as well. I went all the way across bangkok to a very local area for them to quote me just under 10k! Ask them why? “Because we use the toner and the bleach.” WOW! Sounds like you’ve really got something revolutionary! I felt disrespected by the flagrant price gouge.” – A review on facebook in Apirl 2018
To be fair to the Senpom, this reviewer did not even engage them for the Balayage, and rated them even without trying their service.

Our take on Senpom Salon
Senpom many long term clients and has been operating for more than 2 decades. Their prices are significantly higher than the normal Thai salons but of course the quality, service and experience is very different. They are famous for their outrageous colours, keeping in trend and unique hair designs. If you are looking for top quality and do not mind spending extra, you can check them out! Do book an appointment as well, otherwise you might be turned down at the door if it is fully booked!

What people are saying
The good:
“It was quiet easy for me, to find the shop by using Google maps. I actually did not have an appointment but was welcomed nicely. Mr. Phonatip gave me an excellent haircut and I can just hardly recommend him.” – A review on google in April 2018
The not so good:
“Where to start with this fiasco? 1.) Mr. Phonatip’s location is on a little out of the way soi who it took three tuk tuk drivers and one taxi driver to find it.His address comes up wrong on Google maps which isn’t his fault, but the fact that his directions are not scrollable make it impossible to tell how close or far away you are. 2.) His A hole personality. When I showed up 15 minutes late Mr. Phonatip was sitting across the street drinking tea and when I told him I was partly late because of his directions he replied, “They are perfect.” When I suggested the were not and asked him to fit me in he made a big X with his arms as in “Closed.” 3.) His sexual deviance. When I told him I would appreciate if he would meet me half way as I was there and he was too he told me to, “Go back to my country” and then made several comments of a crude sexual nature. Good riddance.” – A review on google in April 2018

Our take on Hair by Phonatip
With Hair by Phonatip, some people love him, some people hate him. Many of the people who had issues with him were due to the appointment timing and difficulty finding the shop. There are of course a lot of positive reviews and long term customers of Hair by Phonatip, much more than the negatives.
Hair by Phonatip is a boutique salon, not very high end and fair pricing. The owner is skilled but he is also a bit quirky. He seems to have trouble handling difficult situations as he even said it himself that he will not tolerate to ask any abusive behaviours from customers and will not hesitate to ask them to leave. It seemed he ever got into heated arguments with difficult customers.
Phonative is still one of the more popular English speaking hair stylist in Bangkok, so if you are going to Hair by Phonatip, remember to check the directions properly, reach on time to enjoy his haircuts and hair colouring!

What people are saying?
The good:
“It’s fantastic, my scalp felt relieved after the treatment. I’m on my 2 weeks holiday in Thailand and started to get itchy scalp. I googled a place once I reached Bangkok and found Bee Choo who had help me with my problem.” – A review on google in September 2018
The not so good:
There is only one unhappy review but it is not on the main facebook page but a sub-branch back in May 2017. This is before the new management took over in July 2017. In any case, the customer complained about her hair not being set and thoroughly blow-dried after treatment and also she felt that she should be charged 800 baht instead of 1200 for her hair length.
To be fair to Bee Choo, they do state in their Facebook and website that they do not fully blow-dry hair after treatment as it isn’t good to blow dry fully post treatment. They’d normally half-dry after treatment. This is something you have to take note, do not expected a hair setting/stylist post treatment!

What people are saying?
The good:
“Super friendly and accommodating. I made an appointment with Sylvia after MUCH research. She was great. She speaks English so she can understand what you want. I got a textured bob with side bangs, similar to what I already had. She did a perfect job texturing, something none of my last few stylists has been able to do. My boyfriend also got a cut with a male stylist. He did a fantastic job, excellent attention to detail. I think it’s the best cut he’s ever had. I’d highly recommend this salon. They are professional, clean, stylish, and reasonably priced.” – A review on google in August 2018
The not so good:
“Aaah I’m so disappointed by this place. I went there because of the many good reviews. I wanted to have a new haircut + balayage. We started with the haircut and I first explained to the hairdresser that I wanted something new, also because my hair where so messy cause I had shaved them previously so the length were short a front, long in the back. What he did was that he just cut everywhere about 1cm. So nothing changed… My mother could do the same. I felt so sad… So then I ask him to fix that because he had taken already a lot of time doing that. Finally he fixed the back of my hair and it was ok. Just ok. Then the plan was the balayage. The result doesn’t looks like a balayage at all. There is some highlights in same places in the hair but we cannot see that at all, only under a big spot of light. I paid 4000baht for that, and 700banh for the haircut. I don’t believe it’s reasonable price at all 🙁

About Anderson Salon
Anderson Salon is a one stylist, two assistance, semi-private salon. Bookings are necessary. English speaking, professionally trained hair stylist with over 19 years of trust amongst international clientele. Specializing in highlights, cut, perm, colours, etc.
What people are saying?
The good:
“Hands down the best salon I’ve found for blonde hair in Bangkok. I have thick, curly blonde hair, and Pam does an amazing job with highlights (and with listening to what you want but also making suggestions of what she thinks might work best). Very happy to have found her!” A review on google review in July 2018
The not so good:
“… When I came back to the chair to dry my hair, the color was significantly lighter in the front of my head than it was before and also lighter than the rest of the back of my head. Pam then explained to me that she did indeed base the color off of my lighter hair, even though it was suppose to be off of my darker hair. Pam then explained to me that people with lighter hair in the front helps to make the skin look lighter. I have darker skin which I am proud of, happy with and I don’t need lighter hair or skin whitening products to lighten my skin, but I did need a good hair color which I did not get. I found her remarks about my skin color to be insulting and racists…” – A review on facebook in June 2018
From reading the review, it seems that the two did not hit off well. Also, the customer may have been a bit too sensitive about Pam’s (stylist at Anderson Salon) comment. Nevertheless, kudos to the owner for apologising after the incident, this is one of the rare bad review she got. She may have just been having a bad day. Not everyone is perfect.

Our Take on Anderson Salon
This is a very personalized service salon with the owner being the main stylist and two assistant. You have to book an appointment in advance otherwise you may have to wait or be turned away. Many people with blonde hair loves and recommends Anderson Salon. This seems to be her specialty. She speaks both Thai and English, so this place is suitable for both locals and foreigners. Pricing is transparent and there has not been any complains of overcharging or pushy sales. If you have lovely blonde locks, do check out Anderson Salon!

The good
“Really impress. Super clean. Quality product used. Skillful masseuse and hairdresser with spoken English. Great value especially if you buy the package. Definitely would go back again soon!” – A review on google in November 2017
The not so good
“Me and my friend bought a package for cocconut oil hair spa, massage and blow dry. The massage was ok standard i think, the oil wasnt warm as they said it will be. And the long wait after massage wasnt necessary. We made the appointment together so we should finish almost at the same time. My friend got wash and blew dry right away and i have to wait almost 30 mins while 2 customers who came after me get to wash their hair before me. They are regular customer they got better treat, they talk nicely to them, welcome them with tea and water. I sat there waiting with no single living noticed me or talked me or offered any glass of water. So if you are not regular here u get treated differently. I PAID for service and expect to feel relax after and THIS IS WHAT I GOT, FEELING FRUSTRATED AND MISTREATED. To be fair the shampoo and hair product was nice. I like the scent of it. BUT I WILL DEFINTELY NOT GO BACK AGAIN. And not recommend for this spa package such a waste of time and money – A review on facebook in October 2017

Our take on Lavish Salon and Spa
You could actually get your hair done and get a foot massage at the same time! This is something unique about Lavish Salon Spa that they have both hair stylist and masseurs working together. Talk about killing two birds with one stone! The reviews are overall pretty good, only some minor complains about waiting time and letting old customers jump queue. Many people have praised Lavish for their cleanliness and comfortable chairs they use.
Lavish Salon and Spa you check out their Korean Hair colouring and hair treatment and get a massage at the same time!
