Beauty in Hoi An · 2026 Guide
Hair · Nails · Lashes · Spa — world-class pampering at Vietnamese prices, right in the town center.
Fresh nails for the lantern-lit photo shoot, a blowout before your tailored dress fitting, or just a great haircut halfway through the trip — Hoi An does beauty remarkably well, and at prices that feel like a typo compared to home. Here is where to go, what it costs in 2026, and why a small family-run salon on Phan Chau Trinh keeps winning travelers over.
№ 01Our top pick: Thanh Mai Beauty Salon
Thanh Mai Beauty Salon — 84 Phan Chau Trinh
Ask expats and returning travelers where to get your hair or nails done in Hoi An and one name keeps coming up: Thanh Mai. The owner has been styling hair for over 30 years, the salon sits right in the town center at 84 Phan Chau Trinh, and prices are honest, listed and the same for locals and visitors.
What makes it traveler-friendly: they pick you up at your hotel for free and drive you back after your appointment, you can book in English over WhatsApp, and hair, nails, lashes, brows and spa treatments are all under one roof — one stop before a wedding, a photoshoot or simply a self-care afternoon.
“Thirty years behind the chair — trends change every season, good hands don’t.”— Thanh Mai, founder
№ 02Hair services & 2026 prices
Vietnamese salons are famous for one thing Western salons rarely do: the long, massage-style shampoo — 20+ minutes of scalp massage that alone is worth the visit. The menu at Thanh Mai:
№ 03Nails, lashes, brows & make-up
Doing a photoshoot in the Ancient Town or getting a tailored áo dài made? Book make-up + hair styling the same morning — Thanh Mai regularly preps brides and photo-tour guests, and the free hotel pick-up means no sweaty walk before your session.
№ 04Spa, facials & massage
Beyond hair and nails, the salon runs a compact spa menu — facials, waxing and massages from 350K to 800K depending on treatment and length. After a day on a motorbike exploring the countryside, a one-hour massage for the price of a cocktail back home is the correct decision.

№ 06Booking tips for travelers
Book a day ahead via WhatsApp (+84 93 245 5152) — evenings fill up first, especially before weekends and the full-moon lantern nights. Bring a reference photo for cuts and color; it beats any language barrier. Cash is king — prices are in VND and card machines are rare in small salons. And if your hotel is outside the center, mention it when booking so the free pick-up can be arranged.

№ 07FAQ — Salons in Hoi An
How much does a haircut cost in Hoi An?
At a quality salon like Thanh Mai (84 Phan Chau Trinh), a haircut with wash and styling costs about 350,000 VND (~$14). A massage shampoo with blow-dry is around 200,000 VND — and worth trying even if you don’t need a cut.
How much are nails and lashes in Hoi An?
Manicures start around 300,000 VND (~$12), eyelash extensions from 450,000 VND (~$18) and event make-up from 250,000 VND. Prices at Thanh Mai are listed openly — the same for locals and travelers.
Do Hoi An salons speak English?
Tourist-friendly salons handle bookings in English over WhatsApp. The universal trick: bring a reference photo of the cut, color or nail design you want — it works better than words in any language.
Does Thanh Mai Salon really pick you up at the hotel?
Yes — free pick-up and drop-off at your hotel in Hoi An is included when you book. Mention your hotel name on WhatsApp (+84 93 245 5152) and they’ll arrange the ride around your appointment.
Do I need to book in advance?
For haircuts and nails, a day ahead is usually enough. For bridal or photoshoot make-up, lash extensions or weekend evenings, book 2–3 days ahead — those slots go first.
