Was Your Last Salon Visit a Disaster? These Foreign-Friendly Salons Will Save Your Hair
Getting a haircut exactly how you want it in a foreign country might be difficult if you don't know the language, or if your hair isn't normally found in said country (for example, you have curly or wavy hair while most Chinese have straight hair). While it's no easy task to find a beloved hairstylist who always understands the hairstyle you want, this list of foreign-friendly hair salons can hopefully make things a little easier.
Laurent Falcon
Laurent Falcon offers unbeatable service and prices for foreign stylists in Beijing. Depending on the specific style you want, coloring is anywhere between RMB 800 and RMB 1200. While there are many salons who like to claim they can do balayage coloring, the reality is you'll probably be signing up for a botched coloring job that looks nothing like the picture you have shown your hairstylist. So, the next time instead of worrying about being left with an incorrectly done bleached job that looks awful, head to Laurent Falcon and their hairstylists will will fix you up with an amazing coloring look.
