This hair salon Ha Long Bay travellers trust is built for tourists, not just locals. You have three days in Ha Long Bay, your hair is wrecked from salt water and sun, and every salon sign you walk past is in a language you cannot read. That is the moment most travellers give up and wait until they fly home. You do not have to. A good hair salon in Ha Long for tourists exists, and Nhat Tam Hair Salon is one of the few Vietnamese salons set up specifically for foreign guests: English support available on request, prices printed in both VND and USD, and a written warranty you can actually hold in your hand. Nine years in business, more than 520,000 customers served across 4 branches, and a Ha Long branch at Shophouse 2 on 25 Thang 4 Street.

Popular Services for Foreign Customers

1. Designer Haircut ($6 USD)

Korean-inspired cutting techniques suitable for all hair types. Includes wash, cut, blow-dry, and styling. Perfect for expats needing a monthly trim. Bring a photo rather than a description: “shorter at the back” means five different things in five different countries, but a picture means exactly one thing everywhere.

2. Balayage and Ombre ($90 to $124 USD)

Free-hand hair painting technique creating natural sun-kissed highlights. Popular among long-term expats. Includes pre-treatment, color, gloss, and post-care. Block out most of a day for this one and treat it as an activity rather than an errand.

3. Keratin Treatment ($36 to $108 USD)

Deep protein treatment restoring dry, damaged hair. Especially good after long-term travel exposure to sun, salt water, and chlorine. 90-day warranty included. If you have been swimming in the bay every morning, this is usually the service that makes the biggest visible difference in a single sitting.

4. Japanese-Style Straightening ($60 to $100 USD)

Please tell the salon about allergies, sensitivities, pregnancy or nursing before booking. Ask to see the exact product label and confirm suitability during the consultation before any chemical service begins.

Which Service Fits Your Trip Length?

The single biggest mistake visitors make is booking a five-hour colour service on the morning their cruise departs. Match the service to the time you actually have.

  • Half a day in port: Designer haircut and styling, roughly 45 minutes, with time to spare for lunch nearby
  • One free afternoon: Keratin treatment at 2.5 to 3 hours, the best value repair for sun-damaged hair
  • A full rest day: Balayage or ombre at 4 to 5 hours, the service worth planning your day around
  • Staying several weeks or longer: Japanese-style straightening, since you will be around if it needs a touch-up

A practical tip: message ahead with your departure time. Our team can tell you honestly whether a service fits your window, and will say no when it does not. Rushing a chemical process is how holiday hair disasters happen.

What to Expect at Nhat Tam Salon

1. Booking (5 minutes)

Message us on Messenger at m.me/nhattamhairsalon. Send us your photo and desired look. English support is available on request. Book your branch and time in the English appointment form, then use Messenger to send consultation photos if needed.

2. Consultation (10 to 15 minutes)

Upon arrival, our stylist will discuss your hair goals, examine your hair condition (porosity, elasticity, previous chemicals), and recommend the safest service. We’ll show you before and after photos of similar clients. This step matters more than most guests expect: if you coloured your hair at home in the last few months, say so, because it changes what is safe to do next.

3. Service (varies)

Haircut: 45 minutes. Color: 2 to 4 hours. Keratin: 2.5 to 3 hours. Balayage: 4 to 5 hours. We provide the WiFi password, free tea and water, and offer meal delivery for longer services.

4. Post-Care Instructions

Our stylist will walk you through home care in English. We provide a written care card and MQG product recommendations. Follow-up is available via Messenger, so you can send a photo from your next destination if something is not sitting right.

English-Speaking Support

We understand that language can be a barrier. Here’s how we make it easy:

  • Messenger with translation: Send messages in your native language; our team uses Google Translate for quick responses
  • Photo consultation: Send inspiration photos rather than describing in words
  • Written price list: Available in English at the salon
  • Visual walkthrough: Stylists show tools and products before use
  • Google Translate: All stylists carry phones for quick translation

One habit worth borrowing from our regular foreign guests: save two photos on your phone before you arrive, one of the result you want and one of a result you definitely do not want. The second photo prevents more misunderstandings than the first.

Pricing in USD (2026)

Nhat Tam pricing is transparent and displayed in both VND and USD. Current exchange rate: 1 USD is approximately 25,000 VND.

  • Designer haircut (women): 150K VND, $6 USD
  • Men’s haircut: 100K VND, $4 USD
  • Full color combo: 480K to 780K VND, $19 to $31 USD
  • VIP combo: 900K to 1.32M VND, $36 to $52 USD

Monthly promotion: Book through the English appointment form (30% off) plus check-in at salon (10% off) for up to 40% OFF. Wondering whether to add anything on top of the bill? Our guide on tipping at a Vietnamese hair salon explains the local custom so you are never caught guessing at the counter.

Payment Methods Accepted

  • 💵 Cash (VND), most convenient
  • Please confirm available payment methods with the salon before your visit.
  • 📱 Bank transfer (Vietcombank, Techcombank)
  • 📲 Digital wallet: MoMo, ZaloPay
  • 🍎 Apple Pay or Google Pay via Grab

Carrying a small amount of cash in VND is still the smoothest option. Withdraw at an ATM in Bai Chay rather than at the airport, and you will usually get a better rate.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do the stylists speak English?

English support is available on request. For complex consultations, we use Google Translate and photos. Message us on Messenger before visiting so we can prepare and, where possible, schedule you with a stylist who is most comfortable in English.

2. Do you use safe products for foreigners?

Please tell the salon about allergies, sensitivities, pregnancy or nursing before booking. Ask to see the exact product label and confirm suitability during the consultation before any chemical service begins.

3. What if I’m not happy with the result?

We offer a 30-day FREE adjustment policy: if you’re unhappy with color or style within 30 days, we’ll modify at no additional cost. If you have already left Vietnam, message us on Messenger and our stylist will advise on home care instead.

4. Can I get my hair done between cruise departures?

Yes, if you plan for travel time. Travel time from the cruise terminal depends on the terminal and traffic, so check the route in Google Maps before booking. A haircut and styling fits comfortably in a short window; colour and balayage do not. Message your departure time when booking.
