Found the salon in Xiaohongshu 小红书
In the Tik Tok video shared by ‘smackytackywackyflacky’, she said that her sister found this salon on XiaoHongShu (China Instagram) which it featured a salon on the app and both of them decided to pay the shop a visit.
They were required to pay an RM300 deposit to the shop but she did not state if the deposit was to secure the appointment or not.
So while her sister was preparing for her hair-do. The salon staff passed the breakdown of the price on a post-slip to her and she was shocked when she saw that the cost of
- RM760 for bleach
- RM120 for a haircut
- 400RM for colouring
She highlighted that the salon is not located in a prime district and it was in a rundown place. She stated she would have understood the price if it was at an “Orchard” kind of area.
“Sorry but please don’t blame my sis, it was a moment of naivety n i blame myself for letting it get that far :)”
