Reading the hair salon price list
The published menu separates fixed charges, ranges, starting prices and price options. These distinctions matter: a starting figure is not a total for every client, and two listed options do not explain their own eligibility. Ask which entry applies to your planned service and what the final quoted scope includes.
Explore hair salon services to compare the wider scope before choosing a service enquiry.
What the hair salon price list does and does not cover
Read the complete menu below alongside the service explanations. A fixed amount identifies the listed entry; a range needs an applicable quote; 'or' preserves separate options. 'From' marks a starting charge. None of these formats supplies a reason to assume extra services are included.
Haircut charges for adults and children
Men's wash, cut and blow-dry is HK$380; women's wash, cut and blow-dry is HK$480. Children's haircut is HK$230 for children under 12. These are the published haircut entries for the Sheung Wan location. Ask about the youngest age accepted, accompaniment and any separate fringe trim or restyle charge before arranging a visit.
Men's and women's wash, cut and blow-dry
Describe the length to keep and the outline to change. For short hair, identify the sides and neckline; for longer hair, mention layers and whether you need to tie it back. A clear cutting brief helps distinguish a haircut enquiry from a request for additional chemical work.
Children under 12
Give the child's age rather than asking only for a student price. Mention any difficulty sitting still or wearing a cape, and explain the fringe length you want retained. Check washing and finishing arrangements, as the children's entry is labelled haircut rather than wash, cut and blow-dry.
Wash-and-blow-dry and styling charges
Wash-and-blow-dry is HK$240, while hair styling is HK$480–680. A blowout enquiry should distinguish a washed and blow-dried finish from a more specific styling request. Send the desired look and ask whether an updo, dry-only styling or event finish falls within the published entry; a separate price is not established for every variation.
A wash-and-blow-dry versus hair styling
Choose according to the occasion: a refreshed loose finish and a pinned event shape require different discussions. Share accessories, the outfit neckline and when you need to leave. If you only want a finish for one occasion, say so rather than selecting a straightening treatment by its name.
Tinting, root touch-up and toner
Tinting is HK$800–1,000. Quick root touch-up is HK$800 for new growth within three inches, and Toner is HK$900. Full-head colour and regrowth maintenance describe different coverage needs. Confirm the applicable Tinting option and any combined root-and-toner work; separate entries do not establish a special combined price or a colour-correction quote.
Choose the correct colour maintenance entry
Photograph the roots and lengths in natural light. Explain whether your priority is covering new growth, changing overall depth or adjusting an existing tone. Include earlier home dye and bleaching in the enquiry: a desired shade alone does not describe the work needed across differently coloured areas.
Highlights, Balayage and lightening
Full-head highlights are listed at HK$1,600 or HK$2,200; ask which option fits your design. Balayage / Ombré is HK$2,500 including one bleaching session. Bleaching / lightening is HK$900. These entries do not establish separate half-head, partial or Babylights prices, nor do they say that every highlights or Balayage single service includes toner.
Continue with how to compare hair colour quotes for that specific comparison and the preparation questions it raises.
Published design charges and bleaching inclusions
Point out where the lighter areas should begin and how much dark hair should remain. If your budget is limited, ask which assessed design can preserve your main priority. A reference showing pale ends is useful for discussing placement, but cannot establish the number of lightening sessions required.
Perm charges by the listed scope
Full-head perm is HK$1,600, partial perm HK$900, Technical Perm HK$1,400 and Down Perm HK$700. Confirm the treatment area and whether a haircut is included in your chosen arrangement. A Korean-inspired or textured look does not automatically identify the priced procedure, and Technical Perm is not confirmation of a digital, hot or cold method.
Full-head, partial, Technical Perm and Down Perm
Describe the change spatially: movement through the lengths, a bend at the ends or a closer side outline. Mention how you normally dry your hair. Choose between a single service and a listed combination only after the treatment area and cutting needs have been matched to the menu.
Straightening prices and starting charges
Water Light Straightening starts at HK$1,600; Ionic Straightening is HK$1,600. Discuss your current hair condition, previous chemical work and the intended finish before choosing an entry. Confirm wash, cut and blow-dry inclusions and applicable length charges. These amounts are not published prices for every Japanese straightening, rebonding or keratin-labelled procedure.
Water Light Straightening and Ionic Straightening
Explain whether you want a straighter outline or simply easier daily handling, and say if retaining fullness matters. Keep the starting-price distinction visible when budgeting. An assessed plan may differ from the initial request; ask for its full scope before deciding whether to proceed.
Scalp care as a cosmetic service
Professional scalp care is HK$980 and hydrogen-water scalp treatment is HK$800. These are cosmetic service entries, not medical treatment or hair-growth promises. Confirm the actual procedure and washing or finishing inclusions. A request described as Head Spa does not establish a Japanese-style process, a fixed duration or a separate package price.
Two published scalp-care entries
Ask what happens during the selected service and whether products will be applied to your lengths as well as your scalp. Describe sensitivities before agreeing to a procedure. If you have persistent pain, inflammation or unexplained hair loss, seek medical advice rather than choosing a cosmetic entry by price.
Hair treatment charges and protection
Pre-colour / pre-perm hair protection is HK$500, moisture treatment HK$1,500 and hair-smoothing treatment HK$1,800. These are distinct entries, not interchangeable names for permanent repair. Ask whether a deep-conditioning request corresponds to a listed service, which products are used, and whether wash-and-blow-dry is included or needs a separate quote.
Moisture, smoothing and pre-service protection
The American Academy of Dermatology's colouring and perming guidance explains that appearance-enhancing treatments can leave hair dry and brittle. Share existing roughness and breakage before chemical services. A protection component is a named inclusion, not a promise that further processing cannot damage hair.
Hair salon packages for cutting and colour
The men's wash, cut and blow-dry plus Down Perm package is HK$780–880. The women's wash, cut and blow-dry, general colour and pre-service hair-protection package is HK$1,780 or HK$1,880. Ask which price applies and what work is included. A package is a specified combination, not evidence of a discount or unlimited additions.
Compare hair salon packages by their listed contents
Start with the result you need most, then check whether the combination contains the supporting work. For practical budget choices, read how to plan a haircut and colour on a budget before adding a second major change. Keep necessary assessment separate from optional styling ambitions.
Match the published entry to the assessed work
For a cut and colour appointment at 252 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan, Vit So lists the women's wash-cut-blowdry, tinting and pre-care package at HK$1,780 or HK$1,880. Ask which price and package scope apply to your hair. Confirm suitability, service order and total appointment time separately; the package listing does not guarantee that every colour change can be completed in one visit.
Cut-and-perm and hot-oil combinations
Wash, cut and blow-dry plus full-head perm and pre-service hair protection is HK$1,680 for men and HK$1,880 for women. Wash, cut and blow-dry plus hot-oil treatment is HK$880 for men and HK$980 for women. The hot-oil combination does not include every treatment on the menu; confirm the selected contents before booking.
Two combinations with different care components
The full-head perm combination includes both a shape-changing service and pre-service protection. The hot-oil combination lists cutting and care instead. Decide whether your main goal is new movement or a haircut with treatment; substituting another care entry should be discussed rather than assumed to leave the package unchanged.
The women's Balayage / Ombré package
The women's wash, cut and blow-dry plus Balayage / Ombré design package is HK$2,980–3,680. It includes one bleaching session, one toner and pre-service hair protection. This differs from the single Balayage / Ombré entry. Additional bleaching or work not listed needs a separate quote; confirm the design scope and actual charge when enquiring.
One bleaching session, one toner and hair protection
Check the desired transition against your present base and planned haircut. If you regularly tie your hair up, show where you want lightness visible in that position. Ask about future tone maintenance as a separate planning question: the listed toner belongs to this package, not unlimited later appointments.
Length charges and enquiries from nearby districts
The published note adds HK$200 for hair extending below the chest; confirm which services it applies to when booking. These prices relate to the single location at 252 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. Clients comparing options from Central or Sai Ying Pun use the same menu, not a separate branch price list.
Use book a hair appointment to send the intended work and possible dates; wait for confirmation before travelling.
Confirm the applicable HK$200 surcharge
For more context, read why do salons charge extra for long hair and ask how the published note applies to your selected work. The Hong Kong Consumer Council's hair-salon advice recommends clarifying surcharges beforehand and retaining a receipt listing the services provided.

Your preparation checklist
- Select the menu entry or package closest to your goal, and identify anything you want that is not named in its contents.
- Send natural-light photographs showing your present length, roots and ends; disclose previous colour, bleach, perms or straightening.
- Explain your non-negotiable result, such as tie-back length, grey-root coverage or a closer side outline, before discussing optional changes.
- Ask which range or price option applies and whether the below-chest HK$200 surcharge affects the selected services.
- Confirm the full quoted scope, washing and finishing arrangements, additional work and appointment timing; retain the service details and receipt.
Frequently asked questions
Can I simply add two single-service prices?
Use the listed package if its contents fit, and ask for a quote if they do not. Two menu entries do not confirm that the combination is suitable or that no other work is needed.
Are student or birthday discounts listed?
No student or birthday discount is established in this menu. The children's haircut entry is specifically for children under 12; it is not a general student rate.
What if the service I want has no published price?
Ask whether the requested work is available and what its quote includes. Extensions, wigs, hairpieces and bridal-specific arrangements have no published amount here; another salon's price is not a quote for this location.
Turn your preferred service into a clear quote
Send Vit So your current hair photographs, preferred change and possible dates for a Sheung Wan visit. Ask which published entry fits and what additional work would cost. Your enquiry starts the discussion; it is not a confirmed booking.
