HALOES HAIR SALON — Local services in Taipei

Like every review below me, I'm here to let you know that Tony is THE BEST. I have never before been so utterly and freakishly satisfied with a salon hair dye job before and I can confidently say Tony is now going to be my faithful go-to! I did a lot of research months beforehand trying to find good Olaplex salons with bilingual staff (I'm a Taiwanese mixed halfie but my Mandarin is not specifically fluent enough to help me clearly describe hair processes) and experience with foreign hair (being that I'm half white and do not have 100% typical 'Asian' hair). I found a loooot of both Taiwanese ABCs and expats pointing to Tony here!

I've had bleach jobs done before in the United States (from natural medium-dark brown to blondeish) via a variety of different methods and salons and hairstylists- balayage, heavy / light foils, etc- but I was always told that going from my medium dark brown to desired warm blonde would take 3-4 salon trips, several months of rest inbetween, including olaplex sessions and racking up ample of hundreds of USD. Witness my surprise when Tony got my full head of thick hair UTTERLY GOLDEN BLONDE in one session! Not only that but my hair (while not undamaged, as that's impossible after bleaching) is in remarkably healthy and strong condition!

Not only is Tony bilingual, but he's patient and explains his process and decision making along the way, and is also quite practical and realistic. He originally quoted me for two bleach sessions and managed to get the whole job luckily done in just one!! He was also super understanding after the initial bleaching when I asked him to bleach higher up into my roots (I always feel bad or shy about asking for additions or partial do-overs but you have to remind yourself its your own money you're spending and the stylist's job is to help you get to what you want, and they can't properly do that if you don't speak up!). So, so awesome, stoked and grateful beyond words.

Salon is located on the top 12th floor of the complex, and staff are multilingual between Mandarin, Taiwanese, English and Japanese- they provide lovely complimentary head massages and standard drinks (black & green tea, water, iced coffee) and are very attentive and professional! :) Definitely only ever coming back...

Yusuke saved my hair! He did an amazing job fixing my highlights and giving me a pretty bob haircut. I had gotten my highlights done at another salon in Japan, but they turned out super stripey. I was so devastated that I could only tie my hair up to hide the disaster. That’s when I found this salon on the very last stop of my Asia trip before heading back to Canada.

Yusuke really listened to what I wanted and checked on my hair multiple times to ensure everything was perfect. I love the results! He corrected my highlights in a way that blends naturally with my hair. He also gave me great tips on how to blow dry it so it looks its best.

Thank you for all the hard work you put into making your clients happy! I’m definitely going home with a smile 😊

I can’t wait to come back the next time...

I found Haloes Hair Salon in Google and was very impressed with the level of service given. From the moment, I made an appointment, they were very responsive, considering they could only speak a little English. The stylist, Takahashi Yusuke did a great job with my cut and highlights! It was long, dry and straggly before. Now, it is a nice longish bob with beautiful layers! All in all, it was about 3.5 hours. The receptionist was also super patient in communicating with me via Google Translator and even offered me a charger to charge my phone. Definitely recommend this...
