January 30, 201511 yr Has anyone used the UP2 Beauty and Hair Salon on Rama IV? I have always used Cutey and Beauty but they are not answering any emails and I see that they are for sale! Thanks I always use them. Very cute stylist named Luck and assistant looking after manicures etc. Discount with Balcony card. Beware -- closed on Sundays (or I was unlucky on the Sunday that I tried last month).
January 30, 201511 yr Good. Presumably they can cut the hair as requested (in English) then? A few years ago, I received a dreadful middle age Thai male style haircut in Pattaya. Google image does not have any examples of such a naff cut, however think almost as bad as Kim Jong Un. That took a long time to grow out. Since then I have taken much more care. On the next holiday, I didn't get a haircut until finding a shop in Chiang Mai with many styling pictures in the window, so it was "like that please"..... Cutey and Beauty cut it as requested, so I usually go there at the start of the holiday..
January 30, 201511 yr There is a great barbers shop on Soi Buakhao in Pattaya where I go It's just 70 baht for a number one crop - super
January 30, 201511 yr What is a number one crop? The number refers to the clipper used for the cut Numbers 1 - 6 with number 1 being the shortest like the guy in the photograph I've had my hair cut like that for many years now - it saves me a fortune on combs Number one crop.
January 31, 201511 yr Went past Cutey and Beauty yesterday and they are still open for business as usual, will be booking myself in for some treatment early in the week.
January 31, 201511 yr I have a technique for shopping in Thailand when I think that language might be a problem. I take a photo on my mobile or call up a Google image and photograph that. Then show it in the shop. The same would work for haircuts --- when you've had a really good haircut, here or at home, take some 360 degree selfies. No language problem. Certainly Luck in Up2 understand numbers 1 and 1 and needs no such help.
January 31, 201511 yr Sorry, the cat is fighting me for the keyboard --- should have read understands 1 and 2.
January 31, 201511 yr Luck is a terribly nice chap and our readers voted Up2 Salon number one in the latest Readers' Choice Awards!
February 1, 201511 yr The number refers to the clipper used for the cut Numbers 1 - 6 with number 1 being the shortest like the guy in the photograph I've had my hair cut like that for many years now - it saves me a fortune on combs Number one crop. Number One.jpg Oh, ok. I refer to it as a #1 Buzz. But after a #1 I sure don't look like the guy in the photo! More like a monk.
February 1, 201511 yr Author Thanks for the replies about UP2 Beauty and Hair Salon on Rama IV. Also for the info that Cutey and Beauty is still open. Wonder why they are not answering email - they always have in the past!
February 10, 201511 yr For haircuts I don't have a preference for the gay shops, I just go to a cheap barber shop in Soi Suan Phlu, 80 baht for a well done haircut. Mine is not so difficult and I like it rather short, so not sure how they would do with more complicated, longer- hair hairdos. I have used UP2 many times, though, for their waxing service, which for obvious reasons I want to have done by a guy and preferably in a gay environment. This is for waxing the crotch, which they do very well and very professionally (done by eithe Vee or Eak, both nice and professional guys speaking English (Vee is actually Burmese, who usually speak much better English than Thais for historical reasons) See http://www.uptoyouandsalon.com/team.html for pictures of the team. Cost 400 baht. And if you wonder: by far not as painful as you might think ;-)
February 10, 201511 yr Waxing the chest is the most painful area of the body in my experience. Haven't bothering body waxing in decades but an occasional trim suffices
February 15, 201511 yr Dropped into Cutey and Beauty to get some waxing done and to have a manicure, great service (and some cute guys too) at a reasonable price.
May 1, 201511 yr Author In the last several months I have been to UP2 several times. Love the place. Great service and always fun!
