I made the mistake of going to a local hairdresser in Hoian to get my cleaned and conditioned. The hairdresser used the wrong type of conditioner on my hair and washed it in such a manner that it has severly dreaded up and looks like a total birdsnest. I had to scream at her to stop as she was pulling large clumps out of my hair.
Is there anywhere in Ho Chi Minh I can go for a good conditioning treatment and trim?

I would call the large (4-5 star) hotels with hairdressers, they will be used to dealing with western hair!
Good Luck :)

Coc,
I flung a few dollars at her and left. I've lived in Asia for four years and should have known better than to go into a local salon that isn't used to dealing with color-treated foreign hair. I should have known better and waited until I got to a place that knows what they are doing.

I too would recommend what SweetRose6 said- go to a proper hotel that may have more experience with foreign clientele. When I first moved to Asia in 1985, the stylists here in Japan rendered my hair to a cripsy, dry-grasslike perm and I had to wear a hat for 2 weeks. That experience inspired me to grown my hair down to my butt, and keep it straight as I have had it most of my life. Good luck with your next hair episode!

Here we a go again...if I said once, I have said it 1000 times...do not go developing countries in opposite cultures for hair issues...even a basic haircut of a westerner by a asian is a risk, as they do not know how to handle western hair styles, growth patterns or even the types hair, of you have a Princes Diana style hair do, forget about it...
