Before you book

  • Ask what is in the program, such as a scalp check, mask or styling.
  • Ask whether the listed time includes drying and styling.
  • Price depends on the program and products used, so ask for the full price, not only the deposit.

Watch out for

  • Many listings in this category are general hair salons, so check that the shop offers a head spa program.

Next step: choosing a shop yourself

  1. Pick two or three shops near where you are staying. The neighborhoods above are where most listings are.
  2. Send each shop the same questions: the total price with tax, whether it is per person, whether English is available, and the deposit and cancellation rule.
  3. Compare the written answers. Booking-site banners are often promotions and change without notice.
  4. For lasers, injections or anything a doctor does, read the treatment page first and ask the clinic for its registration to treat foreign patients.
