Udon Thani's salon scene centres on Central Plaza's mall salons, a dedicated nail salon on Jam Nusorn Road, and a wide spread of city-centre independents. Here is where to go and what it costs.
Udon Thani's salon scene centres on two named mall salons on Central Plaza's 3rd floor, a dedicated nail salon on Jam Nusorn Road, a spa in the Mak Khaeng subdistrict, and a wide spread of independent salons and barbershops across the city centre. This guide covers where to go, what it costs and how to book.
A1 Hairsalon operates on the 3rd floor of Central Plaza Udon Thani (Room A306), a mall-based option offering cuts, color and styling with the convenience of an air-conditioned retail setting.
ToB1 Hair Station is a second named salon on Central Plaza Udon Thani's 3rd floor (Room A305), offering standard hair services alongside A1 Hairsalon in the same mall corridor.
BB Nail & Spa, located on Jam Nusorn Road, is a dedicated nail salon offering manicures, pedicures and gel/acrylic extensions outside the mall setting.
Bonita Spa, in the Mak Khaeng subdistrict, offers spa and wellness treatments and can be booked online through third-party booking platforms.
Beyond the named mall and spa options above, Udon Thani's wider city centre carries numerous independent hair salons and barbershops, per local business directories -- the honest everyday choice for routine cuts at typical Isaan-province prices.
Barbershops are easiest to find around the city centre and near the malls, offering scissor cuts and fades at accessible prices.
Indicative salon prices -- actual costs vary by salon, product brand and hair length. USD figures are approximate (around THB 36 = $1); confirm with a written quote or fixed menu price before starting any color or treatment service.
| Service | THB | USD (approx) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's haircut & blow-dry | THB 200-600 | $6-17 | Higher at mall-based salons than independents |
| Men's haircut | THB 100-300 | $3-8 | Barbershop or basic salon |
| Full color (single process) | THB 700-2,000 | $19-56 | Depends on hair length & product |
| Highlights / balayage | THB 1,500-4,000 | $42-111 | Bring a reference photo |
| Keratin / smoothing treatment | THB 1,800-5,000 | $50-139 | Varies by product & hair length |
| Manicure | THB 150-400 | $4-11 | Classic polish; gel costs more |
| Pedicure | THB 200-500 | $6-14 | Classic polish; gel/spa upgrade extra |
Central Plaza's mall-based salons like A1 Hairsalon and ToB1 Hair Station are generally easier to communicate with in English than smaller independents; some spa services (like Bonita Spa) can be booked online in advance via third-party platforms.
Mall-based salons typically accept cards and PromptPay QR alongside cash; smaller independents outside the malls are more likely cash-only.
For anything beyond a routine trim, a clear reference photo bridges the language gap far more reliably than a verbal description, especially outside the mall setting.
As with any personal-service business, checking recent reviews before a significant color or chemical treatment is worthwhile -- experiences can vary even at established mall locations.
There is no visa rule tied to salon services -- DTV, LTR, retirement and other visa holders all use the same salons and pay the same way.
