Creative Hair by Thitima — Attraction in Wat Sommanat Subdistrict

Come here if you want your hair ruined by the Lucifer of hairdressers.

For reference, I had all natural undyed dark brown hair. I saw this place had good reviews, and was very expensive, so I thought it must be good! Silly me.

I asked for subtle highlights and a balayage with a reference photo of how light I wanted to go. She said no problem, of course, and then said a lot of things which I didn’t completely understand, but she kept reassuring me it would be like the photo.

Attempt 1: the dark balayage. First she bleached my hair and did a balayage. All good so far. But then imagine my surprise when she put a very dark shade of red as the balayage colour. I was visibly horrified, and said it was orange - but she reassured me she’d fix it all when she did the highlights, no problem.

Part 2: the highlights from hell. For reasons unclear, she then gave me ginger highlights. Not only did it look nothing like the reference photos, it was orange instead of a dark blonde, and with a dark balayage. I started crying in the salon chair and said it looks orange. She disagreed. We had a long debate about what colour orange is. I started wondering if I’d gone insane and my vision had finally failed me at the tender age of 27. Then she promised she’d change it, but kept repeating that it was exactly as I’d asked for.

Part 3: orange is the new blonde? She said she could fix the orange colour by putting a neutralising purple toner over it. My mistake was thinking she’d do exactly what she said - I didn’t want more bleach since by this point, my healthy virgin hair of 5 hours ago was now fried from two rounds of strong bleach. What did she do instead? She dyed the entire thing. From roots to end, she put what I now realise was just a permanent colour. Did I agree to this or know she’d changed what she said she would do? Of course not. Did it fix the problem? Absolutely not. Instead, she created a new, much worse problem, which was hot orange roots, light brown ends, and some cheeky shades of green throughout. I’m so thrilled and excited with my new clown hair which is the most damaged it has ever been in my life and resembles burnt straw. The experience finished with a shouting match where she claimed she’d done nothing wrong and this was exactly the highlights and balayage I’d asked for.

Other “highlights” of the experience: there is no hot water, so the water they wash your hair with is FREEZING. To add in extra fun, they are ridiculously rough with your hair and make it extremely painful. Boxing classes I’ve been to where I’ve been concussed have genuinely been less painful than having my hair washed and brushed at Satan’s Salon.

Result: my hair now looks like Donald Trump’s fake tan. I can only imagine the hairdresser has paid someone to do fake reviews because this woman completely ruined my once healthy dark hair.

If you want to spend your entire day crying like me and frantically googling how to fix your hair, then you should definitely come...

In short, if you're looking for anything more complex than a simple cut, be cautious. Miscommunication, shown by actively pretending to understand what I wrote and said in English, and a reluctance to listen resulted in the worst haircut I’ve ever had.

If you're considering this salon for anything beyond a basic trim, think twice. My experience with a modern mullet cut here was deeply disappointing, highlighting serious communication issues and unprofessional behavior. Despite repeatedly explaining both in person and over WhatsApp that I wanted minimal cutting in the back to maintain length, the stylist took it upon herself to make a drastic cut, leaving me with thin, uneven strands that look far from the layered style I requested.

For coloring, I’d specifically asked for a smooth transition to blend with my natural hair. Initially, she applied bleached highlights, but then covered everything with a dark copper dye, completely eliminating the subtle contrast I’d built over years of highlights. Now, instead of a natural fade, the color will require constant upkeep—exactly what I was trying to avoid.

Attempts to address these issues afterward were equally frustrating. The owner insisted she’d done exactly what I asked for, even going so far as to claim I had requested her to cut the back short while cutting. This is blatantly untrue; she cut the back first, then informed me afterward that she’d done it to "add volume." Before seeing the full result from the back, I only asked her to trim the front a bit shorter to match a previous mullet style I’d shown her. At no point did I request the drastic cut in the back, as I had already specified in my initial WhatsApp message that I wanted to keep length there.

After the initial shock, I explained to her the next day that the haircut was not what I wanted and requested a refund so I could pay for extensions. Instead, she suggested giving me a perm, claiming that the pictures I sent all featured curly hair, which is why my cut looked different. However, I urge you to look at the photos yourself; a perm would not resolve the issue of the lonely, thin strands of hair I was left with after visiting the salon. After a tense conversation the next day, she reluctantly refunded part of the 4500 Baht I paid, returning only 1000 Baht without any acknowledgment of the poor result. Additionally, she took a photo while giving me the refund without asking, and when I questioned this, she assured me it wouldn’t be posted online.

Since it will probably be the case that the salon responds by disputing my experience, I encourage anyone considering this place to review the video, WhatsApp messages and photos I shared.

I regret having to write such a negative review, but the outcome is something no one would want. It's incredibly disappointing to think that it will take years for my hair in the back to grow back. In the end, I now have to spend even more money on (annoying) extensions just to make my hair look...

I asked for a colour and a haircut, it was proposed to me also the highlights. I accepted, and the result was really nice. But i have to say that it is definetly too way expensive to be Thailand. I ended up spending more than in Italy: 4500baht (118€). I repeat, the colour is really beautiful. But if i have to consider the location (you have to go there appositely for the salon bc there is nothing so interesting there), the salon itself (not ugly, but even not fashion, needs a restoration), the care of the hairdresser/owner (she was too aggressive with my scalp, not massaging but hurting it; moreover she haven’t washed my ears after the colour so i discovered just later that i was full of red colour in my ears risking to damage my white t-shirt, and she has not brush my neck after the haircut, so i was full of little hair with an ugly appearence on my back), i really consider the service too expensive. It is interesting that she asked me 600baht for the haircut and she just trimmed my hair in the back part, in 10 minutes, and she asked 200 to trimmed another Costumer bang for the same amount of time and care. Moreover, the final products that she used could be branded, but not really good for my hair bc it dried them too much: they weren’t soft, the seemed fake by touching them (in italiano diremmo che sembravano paglia). If the cost would have been 2/3 i would have give 4 stars and if would have been the half i would have give 5, but i repeat, consider that it is Thailand and all the reasons that i gave previously i can’t give...
