I'm so tired of my hair! I usually let it grow out for a year and then chop it all off, but I'm actually letting it grow out this time. The thing is, I'm going crazy.....I need to do something with it, and fast. I want to cut it, but keep it long and maybe do some highlights or an ombré. Guys, I'm terrified. How the heck am I going to explain this to someone who doesn't speak English?! Yes, pictures, but I want a little of this and a little of that.

Sooooooooo, does anyone know of a place where they speak English (well)? I live right next to Saigon bridge in Binh Thanh district.

Yes, district 1 seems to be the most obvious choice, but do you know of any that would do a good job? Any recommendations?

YKC, Dien Bien Phu St., Dist. 3 is great but not cheap, full service and very fluent in English

Ooooo......how expensive? For example, how much for a cut?

You could try VAN NGUYEN studio at 31 LY TU TRONG street, Dist 1 (near Nguyen Huu Canh street). I went there last week and it's OK.

Hello nadeemzafar67,

Welcome to Expat.com

Please note that this thread is quite old and has been inactive for years now.

I suggest you start a new thread on the Ho Chi Minh City forum to tell us more about you and how we can help you.

Cheers,
