I discovered E.A. Hair Salon whilst looking for a new curling iron, one that wouldn't be rigged via…read moreU.S. adapter and would work optimally... and safely! Enter E.A. Hair Salon. Though I've never used their salon services - which are offered at attractive prices, by the way - I visit E.A. for their styling appliances and most recently, their hair products. None of the hair products I used in the States are available at Watson's, Mannings, or even Sasa, so I've been on the hunt for well-priced products that my thick, coarse hair likes. Finding the product lines at boutique salons isn't difficult; rather, it's the well-priced part that makes my hunt a wild goose chase. Luckily, E.A. carries some brands that I like and they're offered at a fair price. For example - I can find the Rusk Sensories line for around $10 USD per 13.5-ounce bottle in the States. At E.A., the Rusk Sensories shampoo and conditioner is selling for $83-91 HKD on average, respectively (depending on the formula some do cost more). But basically, there isn't much of a mark-up at all! E.A. also stocks the L'Oreal Mythic Oil line, Kérastase, Paul Mitchell, and others. Check it out!

I'm really picky on who touches my hair because if I don't like my hair, I will cry over it…read more Luckily, my overall experience here is really good! I got my hair cut by Joel. To book an appointment, you need to know who you want to cut your hair. Look them up on their website. Then call the salon. The salon will give you the direct contact of the stylist. So you can whattssap them or call for an appointment. And that's that. The lady who shampooed my hair made me feel super relaxed. She did a head massage too! Joel, my stylist that day, didn't exactly cut my hair like the way the picture I showed him. So I was a little disappointed in that aspect. But he did cut my hair very, very well. So when it grows out, it will stay really nice. Yay!!! Get your beautiful on!

I have had trouble finding a hairdresser in Hong Kong that I like at a reasonable price. After a…read moresalon I found through Groupon damaged my hair, I went in to Salon Thirt2, formerly Ken Donji Hairdressing, hoping to salvage it.

Simply use a scissor and take a bunch of hair and cut it. Holy fu*k!! The experience is literally cant be more worse than that. I'd rather leave my hair alone not being cut. I can guarantee you'll regret it if u give this a try. Nothing but disappointment.

This only rings true if you're lucky enough to find the perfect person for the job. Too often, we get disappointed and hurt, leaving the salon fuming with rage because of incompetence or the lack of being fully heard of our needs. When we DO find 'it', come hell or high water, we're there for good and won't leave...ever. I'm so happy to say that I've found the salon that I can trust! Private i is a well known chain of salons all over Hong Kong. They hold a good reputation for professional cuts and great staff. I must say that each chain is different and some may have experience different from mine, but to me, Private i in central does it right. I never look at just the company, but rather the individuals that work there to base my opinion on the quality. The employees here are excellent. I get my cuts with on of the Chief Directors. Him, along with his team, work hard to make sure they deliver exactly what I want. You are greeted by reception when you arrive for your appointment. Then, given a robe and having your coat checked, you're shown to your seat. Drinks are offered while you wait for the consolation to begin. A little chat with the CD to make sure we're on the same page in terms of expectations, and you're off to get a wash with one of his team members. This is a large space with over 20 work stations and two VIP rooms for people who rather a more private cut? lol I can't imagine who would use them, but it doesn't bother me that it exists. Getting a cut or treatment done here is an experience. Don't come if you're expecting to walk in and out in 30 minutes. Thats just not possible. After my cut, my coat is waiting for me and I take a few moments to get sorted. A few days later, I get a follow up call from Private i to make sure that everything is still as fabulous as it was when I left, and it always is. I would recommend anyone who enjoys a little pampering when they get their cuts to Private i in IFC.

This is important for me as I don't like to chit chat or gossip like other clients. Alpha has been with different salons before but currently he has been with Private i for a few years now. Try a haircut with him. My ex boss who swears by her hairdresser in Taipei swears by Alpha now. Avoid Sundays as its his off day.

I have thick Asian hair that looks like it's gone through a flat iron. And I crave for the casual…read morebeachy waves but I have absolutely no patience nor skills for a decent style. As such, I need to make sure my hair is cut well so that it swings into place, and requires minimum attention for it to look decent. Oh, I also forgot to mention that I cut my hair maybe twice a year, so the haircut needs to last. Enter Numayama San, imported from Japan and has been cutting my hair for more than 7 years. Numayama San has been cutting my hair since he was invited to Hong Kong by Japanese hair salon Beautrium, which is famous for their slide-cut which adds subtle layers and volume to the otherwise flat Asian hair (those who read all the Japanese fashion magazine in the millennium should know which place I'm talking about.) Fast forward to today- Numayama San is working under the Private Eye franchise and I'm still a loyal customer. His Japanese precision and Hong Kong frankness blended with Japanese diplomacy is what keeps me going back ("no, this hairstyle will not work because you are too lazy to style your hair and your face shape is not so good for it") I could go on with the amazing Numayama San (he cuts hair dry! His perms are legendarily natural!) but this wouldn't be a true review of the salon itself. But then again, who cares about what the place looks like or what services they offer when you've got the perfect hair stylist? (One caveat, though: he specializes in elegant, girlish Japanese styles. If you are looking for Miley Cyrus' edgy/skank you've come to the wrong place)
