Prices vary a lot depending on the hairdressers you visit. The most economical are the local shops, although there will typically not be any English spoken so it can be hard to explain what you want. Hairdressers in the old quarter are typically reasonably priced, with the hairdressers in the more expat-oriented area of Tay Ho having higher prices \u2013 although all of these prices are very competitive compared to Western prices.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most popular options include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Classic Hair Wash:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Although it may sound like a hair wash, it is a full experience complete with a head massage.

Prices start from approximately 100,000 VND.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Herbal Treatments:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> With Chinese medicine being a very popular aspect in Vietnam, there is a large range of herbs that are used with hair treatments. There is often a list of the different types of herbs that you can choose from according to your need e.g. more gloss\/stretching\/thickening etc.&nbsp; Prices start from about 200,000 VND&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Keratin Treatments:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> These are extremely popular and as with the herbs, there are a wide variety of different types.
