Hair Salon Recommendations for Hair Coloring?

honestly try Velvet Hair Studio on Ekkamai Soi 10. they have actual private rooms not just curtains which is nice if you want quiet. most of their colorists are women and i've had good results with Ploy there. prices are a bit steeper around 4k to 6k for full color but they use Olaplex in the process so your hair doesn't fry. booking via Line is def the move since walkins rarely work out.

ngl i'd skip the Sukhumvit area altogether and head to Siam Square instead. try Blossom Hair at Siam Square Soi 3, they have these cute little rooms with actual doors and soundproofing so it's super chill. most of the stylists are women and i go to Pim who's amazing at turning brassy hair into a cool ash tone without that greenish undertone. prices are fair at 2,800 to 4,500 for full color and they use Schwarzkopf products which i prefer over some of the pricier brands tbh

fwiw there's also Salon Koko on Thonglor Soi 13, they have proper private rooms with doors that close all the way. most of their color team is female and the owner is a woman too which is kinda nice. i get my roots done by Fah there and she's super meticulous about sectioning, prices are midrange around 2,500 to 4,000 for a full color. their Line response time is pretty fast if you message in Thai but they also answer in english if you ask

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
