The hairdresser is a chatty Chinese Malay lady called Le. An English teacher by education, a hairdresser by trade! She works from home most of the time, but also, part-time, at another salon. (She will know all the latest styles, be assured!)

$6 to $7 for a man's style haircut, $7 to $10 for ladies - how much better can it get? Perms $30 (Short, inc. cut and dry), colour $25 (short), streak $25 (short), highlight $3 each foil.

But do call for an appointment to avoid disappointment. Appointments are easy to get - any day, any time. Great hair - great prices - great service. She will put a smile on your face - even if there isn't much hair left to work with :)

Approximate cost: $8
