The Hong Kong weather and the work-hard/play-hard lifestyle can leave you looking and feeling less than your best. Roots need a touch up? Got a big event coming up and need to book a blow wave? Brows need to be brought into line? We’ve got all this and more covered in this bumper round up of beauty salons and services in Hong Kong to have you in top shape in no time.
Hair
The humidity in this town can wreak havoc with even the straightest hair. For fuss-free locks that resist the frizz, speak to an expert to find a treatment that suits your hair type the best. Here are a few you can rely on!
Glow Salon & Spa
A multiple-award winner over many years in our Expat Living Readers’ Choice Awards, Glow is a highly regarded international hair, beauty and skincare salon that provides a genuinely customer-centric approach. The professional team hails from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the US and Hong Kong, so they understand how different conditions affect hair – including Hong Kong’s humidity, for example. And they deliver practical solutions for every client, whether you’re after a quick tidy-up cut, a touch of colour, or complete makeover. In addition to hairstyling, colouring, highlighting and smoothing treatments, Glow offers hair extensions, hair-loss solutions, barber cuts and more.
