Finding worthy hands to entrust your locks into can be a complicated process even without a language and culture barrier. We often have to resort to bringing a photo of the style we want or headshots from a few angles of our last good cut in order to communicate our desired effect to the stylist. People have been known to scope out good places by watching the work in action and the results for a bit before committing. Asking the stylist for photos of their work can also be a good way to judge someone’s handiwork.
We are pretty fortunate in that fashion conscious Xi’an has a wealth of options at many price ranges, from neighbourhood spots where the basic xi-jian-chui (wash, cut, dry) service runs 20-50RMB to luxury salons that charge several hundred yuan per visit. It’s time to go to the hairdressers!
Appointments at neighbourhood spots are usually not taken, as customers are cared for on a first-come-first-served basis, so it pays to time visits to a popular salon during off hours. Higher-end salons usually have a sliding scale where services by less experienced stylists come at a bargain and the most experienced stylists come at a premium. You can also expect dye or perm services to cost quite a bit more than the basic cut. Several salons offer memberships or cards that can shave a good percentage off your bill; if you find a good place that you intend to visit regularly, this is usually well worth it.
