The Story

About This Place

Kim Salon operates from a compact shopfront on Lê Thước in An Khánh, running a tight menu of services that covers haircuts, color treatments, nails, foot scrubs, and collagen treatments under one roof. The standout is the hair wash — a full ritual involving a prolonged head and scalp massage that regulars specifically return for on every trip to Vietnam. It is not the quick rinse common elsewhere; the experience sits closer to a treatment than a prep step.

The barbering has its own following. Tony, one of the staff barbers, is name-checked repeatedly by expat clients for precise, attentive work and practical styling advice given during the cut itself. That combination of technical skill and willingness to consult rather than just execute sets the visits apart from in-and-out options nearby.

Pricing lands slightly below comparable salons in the district for the same quality tier, which explains how the clientele ends up being a mix of long-stay expats, tourists making a second or third visit, and Vietnamese locals coming in regularly for root color. A Korean-language review noted the value when three family members — haircut, root touch-up, and nail service — went through simultaneously. The space is small, which means booking or arriving early during weekends is sensible, but it also means the atmosphere stays personal rather than transactional. Staff across services are consistently described as genuinely attentive rather than perfunctory.

This is my favourite place to get a haircut and hair wash / massage in Vietnam I come here every time I am in the country highly recommended! Make sure you get the hair wash it's not like in the west where they just wash the hair it's a whole ritual with a head massage soo relaxing!

I was taken care of by a skillful and professional barber. Besides cutting my hair, he also gave me a lot of good advice for styling and caring for my hair at home. I love the way he cut my hair so detailed. The services here are good as well. The people who work here are friendly and willing to help you look pretty. The prices are decent. I feel it is slightly cheaper than another place for excellent services. I definitely recommend it! Services: 5/5 (I would put more if I could) Prices: 4.5/5 (Not bad at all) Satisfaction: 5/5 Location: 5/5 (Pretty easy to locate) Size of the Salon: 4/5 (Small, but they have everything we need)
