So Saigon is the sister site of The New Hanoian, a site that has clearly established itself as the premier English language website for those calling Hanoi home.

YKC Beauty Spa and Hair Studio.

Saigon Pearl Apartment

Dermalogica

L'Oreal

Everything for skin, hair and body can be found at these two outlets under a wide range of recognisable brand names. Products are also on sale at the big shopping malls, with prices pretty much what you would expect.

Natural Rendez - Vous

This shop offers you the chance to buy the AZIAL and rendez-vous ranges of all-natural skin care products, which are used at many spas. Try the sesame exfoliating soap or the carrot and honey soap to create your own personal spa treatment.

YKC Hair Studio

Run by Canadian hair stylist Ky the Guy (cut and colour specialist), YKC's reputation for well-trained staff, attention to detail and an English friendly environment attracts a loyal expat clientele.

Lady Saigon

Women-only spa offering the lot – Thai and shiatsu massage, skin peels and rejuvenation, facial care, waxing, slimming treatments, hair care, nail care, and even yoga. Prices are very reasonable.

The Salon

From the same chain as His Salon, these places have equally well-trained stylists offering simple haircuts starting from VND150,000.

Kim's Barber's

Kimage Academy of Hair & Makeup

More high-end salon than school, this Singapore-based outlet provides hair treatments, from a simple wash and blow dry from a student (VND5,000) to multi-tonal highlights from a junior stylist (VND310,000). All services are monitored by highly qualified instructors. Appointments recommended. Open 9am to 9pm.
