There’s a great selection of hairdressers, products and other services in Malaysia to keep you beautiful. There are some inexpensive places to get your haircut (you can pay RM20 for a cut) at a mid-range salon but you can go up to RM500 for a simple cut at one of the top-end salons.

Having said that, even at that price, you’re getting a cut that would cost you three times that amount in any Western city so value for money, these high-end salons deliver.

If you have curly or afro hair then you know what’s coming. It’s maybe best to get a western hairdresser to do the cut. It’s not that Asian hairdressers aren’t competent, they are, but it’s just that many don’t get the same amount of practice on such hair as they need. So if your hair has such special needs, consider someone like Matthew Mack at the Belfry Salon or Calvin at Eco Hair and consider experienced professionals like Edwin Saw’s Saw Hair Salon and Winnie Loo’s A Cut Above.
