As topic.

Besides that? Do you give specific instructions to the stylist or just let them experiment on you?

Please discuss.

Kimarie SS2

If can please state the price as well.

every hairstylist i go to don rely follow my instructions.. they end up cutting more than the parts i ask them to cut, end up i'll have super short hair.

arghhhh.

they always go "i trim this abit for u ar.. just abit only" end up cut almost all. T_T

RM12 cut at 1 utama near arena foodcourt..sometimes cut ok sometime not ok..hehe.not ok = cut too short for parts that i wanna cut only BIT short..haha

i cut my own hair... that the best for me.. i make it look how i wanted it to be..

sure salloon la

T & T

Basically.. just give them instructions Just simple ones.. Someties flipping though mags for them to visualize :/
which cos about RM11.

jantzen mv

normal saloon

Which explains the haircut in your avatar ..

I typically go to Kimarie, Taipan

Best place to get a haircut I can guarantee it is this place called Rizz in Sungei Wang.

RM 50 for a sit down and cut, practically 90 minutes minimum for whatever hair cut you want. He sits you down, washes and cuts wet. Then washes again, cuts again. Blow dries, and does a final touch up.

Layering is done meticulously and mostly with regular scissors, tending to small batches of hair at a time (no newbie layering scissors crap!).

Best haircut you can ever get, I assure you. His name is Danny

S O H O , my friend's place in Starhill Gallery

mofonyx, where is Rizz ?

my fren usually takes me to kimarie and anoter place in lowyat called headline

Always @Peek-A-Boo Saloon @ Taman Tun Dr Ismail..

my usual stylist is - Mika.. !

she's quite bz.. but her styling is quite good!

was referred by a friend of mine! after seeing his haircut always looks good!

stylish but not too much!

only RM50 for wash and cut..

For gurl who fancy coloring or doing all sorts of fancy thing to their hair.. you can try this place.. ! I always saw them creating quite an oustanding hair-do for models.. for fashion show..

always saloon, never go barber after primary school.

anyway normal saloon doesnt means it sucks.. been to a lot famous saloon such as acutabove, shunji matsuo, kimarie, monsoon-id and a few more which charge superb for professional/director cut yet one of the normal saloon nearby my house actually works the best for me.. too bad the stylist left already. it's more like choosing a right stylist more than choosing the right place.

i just go mamak barber,cheap rm4 per cut only

my favorite hair cut is ketam number 5

can cut every week

I get my hair cut by Aki from EP (Eiji Project) which is at Northpoint Midvalley. He is Japanese so he knows what suits Asian men. You won't turn out looking like a stereotypical Japanese or Ah Beng. Just let him know what type of look you are trying to achieve. Costs a bomb though. Around the RM100 mark. Hair coloring also costs a bomb but very worth it to do there because the colour stays on for a very long time. I personally have tried 6 months (let my hair go long) with dye colour still intact without any signs of fading.

To answer TS' question though, I don't like getting too specific because I prefer to trust the stylist's instinct (provided he/she is good). Instead I specify a type of look. Like say I want "trendy but professional" or "serious and mature" or "young and trendy" or I give situations like "I'm meeting business clients from a creative company"or I give examples of people's styles I want to emulate like "I want to look like Wolverine in the Xmen movie...rugged and wild"... you get the picture..

how u cut ur back?

i leave it long for hollies

i usually go to saloon but no favourite saloon in particular.. a few times to Thomas & Guys..

what is ketam number 5 hair cut?

2 criterias: cheap and good.

shave whole head with a size 5 shaver

i go botak everytime xD

when i was young i used to go to barber but later on they tend to spoil my hair cuz they didnt understand my instructions.. so starting 14 like that until now i go saloon..

mamak for small trim only..

the rest saloon.. no particular shop..

definitely mamak barber....

use left and right hand to estimate the length of hairs in a certain area making it equal on left and right side then cut(using zigzag scissor) that area using my right hand while left hand holding that area...

i remember last time i went to maroon..ask them to cut suitable hair for me.. but after cut.. HOLYS**T.. I looks freaking weird.. Better cut it myself..

Wenawave at BTS...

save money and u get what ever hair style u desire... haha

i'm a loyalty to Indian barber. my instruction 'pendek & nipis' but most of the time they can only fulfill 1/2 always not enough 'nipis'.
well no complain for RM7/cut, neck twisting & 'tepuk belakang' till you gonna fly off the chair dam 'shiok'.

i dont usually go to saloons as all they do would be just give you some ah beng hair cut that you dont want...no offense tho...just my experience...

i go to indian barbers, i like my hair short and neat, nothing out of the odinary

This post has been edited by Disciple: Dec 25 2008, 08:35 AM

What if i want this:



Need haircut? Save the hair first?

actually it's up to individual to go to a salon or a barber shop

for me, my face is quite big so i'm not suitable to cut very short hairstyles.. so i don't really like to go to the barber as they like to cut so short
so i always go to salon.. everytime i try new ones i ask them what short hairstyle suitable for me.. so i'm willing to try any hairstyles they recommend.. (i only go for a hair cut once every 3-5 months )

For me...
Thomas & Guys - Senior Cut - cut kinda short and i don't like it as it appeals my big face
X-Cut - RM15 - a little short but once it grow longer my hair looks nicer.. but once it gets real long not nice d..
Apt - RM30 - Pro Cut - cut just nice & very friendly.. err.. i just like the front part of my hair

This is just my personal opinions abt these salons.. so don't say i'm bias or anything k? Cheers~

that's my exactrly my sentiment. i like my hair short, simple & maintainance free

i went quite alot saloons before...

Penang Pragin Mall--Hair Perfect (Senior.)
Pros: Nice Hair Saloon Name
Cons: dint follow my instructions, i almost wanna fight with her,she cut really shorter than I expected.
Spend: cut,wash,RM38

Sungei Wang Plaza KL-- Trio Hair Saloon
Pros: the pro is good!!, Hong , friendly enough, his hair kinda cool!!
skills and touch-up, i'm very very statisfy, two thumbs up for him!!
Cons: (no..)
Spend: cut,wash,RM45

Aeon Bukit Tinggi Klang--Monsoon ID
Pro: as you know monsoon is a good name, quite cool
Cons: Those senior are really SUCKS!! similar with the Hair Perfect in Pragin Mall
Spend: cut,wash RM25

Antico Damansara
Pros: One price of cut, no divide of Pro & Senior, hair color is great, match my looks, using Loreal!! I like it....
Cons: cant go there by public transport, had to drive there.
Spend: cut&wash--RM25,dye--RM90(student price..i'm so lucky), Total is RM125



i'm going to have a hair cut soon, due to the Pragin Mall incident, my hair is damn short, so I plan to cut Haux Hawk style (David Beckham style)...or maybe Edison Chen style, so anyone could do some recommendation?!

thx

Planning to try monsoon id when i get bac to kl..at 1 utama..whats the price of haircut there??is it good like what many people claim?

it's round 20-30, i think mostly are the fresh, most of my friends went there(Monsoon Klang), they all gave really bad comment, package for dye,treatment is really exp, i rather go KL,and more variety for it

Monsoon id opened another outlet in Tropicana Mall. 39% discount for all services. thinking to give it a try. been to Monsoon id One Utama last month. not bad.

The Gardens - Raymond Choon(I think)
My hairstylist is there!! She rocks!!
Quite expensive though..

how expensive?
what cutting you get?

Around RM60. She cuts very nicely and carefully. Unlike some other, one side of my sideburn is longer than the other side And some just... Isn't that nice. So far I think she is the best I've met

RM50 for cut&wash?! Is it worth the price?

Normally I have my hair cut from barbers..
Sometimes I go to salon just to get the style that I wanted

quite worth it...if you gone to the right saloon and get the style you wanted!!!

unlike me, i pay for bad experience, cause gone to wrong place,wrong stylist..

saloon for people got money..
if not go to barber

That's cut only, no wash right? I'm trying to find a good saloon to get hair cut near SJ SS15, or easily reachable by public transport such as MidValley. Tried ACA junior cut once, sucked as hell. Had to have the senior come help. Tried Snips senior cut, was alright. Then there's one called Spazio at SS15, was alright too. Trying to find a good one :-\ Bloody expensive compared to Miri's price

Thomas & guys !!

well, at least someone who already have many bad experience,so asking for recommendations,so in future wont be waste,especially money and hair,though...

i just went to barber for my haircut.
i go to my 'pakcik din' since i was kid.. been more than 10 years..
no need to go to saloon to waste my money coz i just cut my top hair and trim the side.. no weird style cut.. and it's just rm6...

Anyway,anyone know where I can get good hair cut around the Setapak area..? Preferably Genting Klang...Kind of a hassle to go Sg Wang just to get a good haircut..

louis miri =D

Woods, around Cheras Leisure Mall. Name's Brandon. Cut & Wash for RM 30.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a good hair stylist for guys. Need a cut for CNY~!

Any recommendations on good stylists? Preferably in KL shopping centers, as I'll be going there to shop for new cloths too.
Someone told me about A Cut Above? Any good stylists there? Or any other place you'd recommend?

Thanks~

Not all good hair shop has good stylist. only some of them i guess.
good one will even touch up those baby hairs that sprawl around the surface of your hair .
not many of them knew how to shave the M look of the forehead. the M shape gives your fore face more brighter n stand up .

Tumpang thread, want to know where to get a good CNY cut also.

sitting on the sofa n tumpang this thread..i wan to know too its better when it comes along with the CNY promotion xD

No guys telling..

Also, there's this thing that says, given two stylist of equal skills, always choose the guy stylist, what u think?

if me i prefer at Hikaru hair salon at bukit bintang, its japanese saloon. under E.P saloon group.

shop3, ground floor, menara keck seng, 203 jalan bukit bintang , kuala lumpur.


find nic lee.

for price click here...

I once cut my own hair, because only myself know what i really want. Using gillette fusion, LOL. The outcome, my friends said, i just trim it, doesnt look like being cut.

my usual one is Kota Raya Level 1... Carita, look for boss called Helen, Vidal Sasoon stylist, i think so far she's the best for me... (i'm regular so cheaper than usual, less than RM30)... more to modern, Japanese styles

i've tried
1. Thomas & Guy's Subang Parade --> Sucks (RM25)
2. RM12-15 instant cut --> Sucks as well

the new one i tried last weekend is Centro, Gardens Level 4/5 i think... ask for the boss called Kevin... most expensive haircut i ever had because the boss is the winner of Loreal color competition for don't know how many years... RM70... also quite good, neat, more gentlemen look

vincent miri

Thomas & Guy's, those juniors took 1 hour to cut hair.

i go to Chura Hair Salon where the japanese dudes speak very little of english.. so a lotta hand communications and pictures as examples... but they super duper pro... haha

Matt The Knife at Belfry Pavillion. Inside Tangs.

anyone tried monsoon id in 1u?

how bout e3 saloon...??

Times square, Kimarie.

Kimarie, Sg wang.

KEDAI GUNTING "APAVOO"
rm6

times square kimarie sucks they cut my long hair into short hair and made it look like shit

i go to gopal barber with saloon skills cos he got cert
hahaha
juz rm8-9
sometime if feel kaya..go to saloon...in my life juz go about 4times

i get my haircut at A Cut Studio near my place.. my hairdresser seems to be really knowledgeable as she understands the best type of cut for head type / hair type / face type.. price is reasonable.. RM25..

i go for those instant cuts. RM 12 like that, enough la as long as i can gel and spike my hair.

I've been to Monsoon ID 1U few times, and that salon was my first (and only till now) hair salon experience.

I don't have a preferred hair stylist as I don't go there very often (like once in two months or so), furthermore, usually when I go there, the hair stylist from my previous haircut would be either not there (on leave) or transferred to other branches (due to the opening of more Monsoon ID outlets).
So I don't really have like a frequent stylist whom I go to.

Nevertheless, I had good experiences based on the times I went there.

The stylists were okay, managed to create the look I described. Usually I don't have any design or hair style I want, I just let them know roughly what I want or don't want; e.g. want to keep my fringe, don't want to keep long side burn, want to have shorter length and etc.
Then if for instance, if a too short fringe would look weird on the current hair style, the stylist would advise me not to shorten the fringe too much and say to keep a certain length.
I would say most of the times the stylists listened to my wants and needs well.
That again, depends on the hair stylist you get as different people have different etiquette and working style. And I have only worked with like 3 stylists before only

As for other services like shampoo'ing the hair, I didn't really face much problem here; as most would have enough experience to shampoo the clients' hair properly.
However, there was this once with a new shampoo boy, he was a bit rough and accidentally lightly scratched my forehead lol

The stylist also offer to style your hair after the hair cut, they used Sebastian Xtah Crude Clay if I'm not mistaken
If you're not satisfy with the cut, can just ask them to try to fix it. Then again, you might risk worsening the cut lol; as generally, you and your hair stylist might have VERY DIFFERENT views on what looks best on you.

The down side is the price. I think the price has increased after new year.
It used to be about RM33 for a hair cut + wash; but I just went there a couple weeks ago and got charged about RM40. They said it's a new pricing for new year.
So you might want to wait until they have promotion lol

In my opinion, usually most hair stylist (stylists from other salons as well) will be able to deliver the desired end results; it's just that we as the customer/consumer have to give enough explanations about what we want.
If clear instructions are given, the results won't sway too far from our description or too terrible. It's only too terrible or horrendous when no clear description and instruction are given; or when we allow the stylist to "terrorize" our hair without stopping them; or when the customer and stylist cannot communicate at all

Thanks for your detail explanation..

rm40 not that expensive i think...i thought they used to charge like rm50 per head..

any idea how much is the Sebastian Xtah Crude Clay..how much does it cost and where can i get it near sg.wang/bts that area??

and someone mentioned Kimarie...how much roughly per head?

Hmm, I think if a salon uses a certain product (say shampoo, styling products, etc.) chances are the product will be available for sale through them.

I think the last time I went to Monsoon ID my stylist did asked me if I need to purchase any styling product or not; but I don't style my hair so I couldn't be bothered
So I'm guessing the clay can be bought from them, I have no idea about the price they're selling though.

On the other hand, you can try getting the Sebastian clay from K Care Shop.
Based on the prices listed in their website:
50g - RM 48.00
125g - RM 90.00
I am unsure if these prices are reasonable or not though

You can try checking their 'Store Locator' to see if there's any of their outlets near your area. Then you can personally visit the salon to check it out

Here is the website:
*CLICK*

p/s: I am not affiliated with the K Care Shop and I actually have no experience buying anything from them; it's just that I so happened stumbled upon the shop's name when I was researching about the availability of the clay in local markets.

I like to go to this salon near my house for a haircut. They charge me RM13 and i just ask them to cut as they please, but it must be short. Because my hair grows quite quickly every month. But this week have to go because hair is like tarzan liao. I think would charge me RM15 liao. hehe

my mum...

Freeloader.... hahahaha just kidding.

Hi everyone. I would like to have a haircut soon. Can someone recommend reliable hairdresser (for guys) around Klang Valley area? I like my hair short and easily-manageable.

Try to look for the only guy senior hair stylist at Infinity Hair Salon in 1-Utama. It's at the old-wing 2nd floor (very near to new-wing). Forget what's his name.

how s the pricing?

any other recommendations?
