Haircutting Scams

2 weeks ago I was roaming around MBK when a folder of a hairdresser called 'Neo, Neo, Neo' (If i remember correctly) was put in my hands.

 Since I needed a cut and the folder said it's 280 Baht for a cut and wash, I though what the hell.

 When I walked in everything went so fast. After the 1 minute wash and 2 minutes into the cut they asked if I needed Vitamins for my hair.

I said 'no thank you'. A little bit later she came by with some product which she put on my hair because 'I needed it'.

 Seconds after, while having my hair cut I got the ticket for 580 Baht. Apparently she put the Vitamin product on, even though I declined.

Since I addressed them in English they had no idea I could speak Thai. And let me tell you, they insult you while you are being cut and robbed.

My GF witnessed how one woman tried to get up several times but was just pushed down in her seat.

So be warned when you cut your hair at this place...

Go to The outer suburbs of bangkok its only 50 to 60 baht for a mens hair cut.

Pak Kret near the bus terminal, Mahachai Mai (Rama 2 km 21) Bang Son (Krung Thep Nonthaburi soi 32. These all over clean and very cheap hair cuts. If you have thai friends or speak thai its worth the bus ride out there.

I went for a haircut/colour/treatment in MBK with my friend during my previous trip, 2nd or 3rd level of MBK, that salon is good and highly recommended, next to another salon though. next to escalator. A not-so-class salon as compared to the one on the ground floor but their service is good.

Btw, which level is this Neo Neo Neo situated?

Irene, it's either located right above or right below the Pizza hut.
Don't know what floor it was exactly.

A tip for those needing a good haircutin Bangkok: Call the Marriott Sukkumvit spa and make a reservation with the male haircutter. He does a great job, for less than 900 baht with service and vat you will get a pro haircut, no pressure to buy products(once he actually told me to buy Nioxin somewhere else as their markup was so huge!) He has cut my hair for nearly two years and also my wife, always does a great job and speaks fluent english.

Thaitransit is right. Get the subway out to Rama 4 road or Huay Khwang or Sutthisan plenty of barbershops around there. 60 baht for a men's haircut. Or try the barbers in the subway or skytrain stations, QB House I think they are called 100 baht for a haircut.

Try Hairwaves at Market Plus, Sukhumvit Soi 83, a short walk from the BTS Skytrain and Lotus-Tesco supermarket. They speak English and it's certainly not expensive.

Why should I spend 900 Baht in a hotel.
Thats more than i spend here in Germany for Wash, Cut and Dry.

More than 100 in Bangkok is overpaid.

Second the recommendation about the place on the Nana BTS platform. It's called Cat Hair Design, and the owner has been cutting hair many years and has won many awards. The employees are good, and meticulously clean. Great service, reasonable prices
