How can I find nail and hair salons in Sukhumvit, Bangkok, and obtain international certification as a nail tech?
I’ll be coming to Thailand soon and will be staying at Hotel Ambassador, located in Sukhumvit Soi 11. I’m looking for someone who can assist me in visiting nail and hair salons, as I’d like to get my hair colored. Since I’m a nail tech, I’m also interested in obtaining an international certification in Thailand. If you know anyone there who could help, I’d really appreciate it if you could connect me with them. Thankyou in advance💖

all beauty salon jobs are restricted to Thai nationals. Others subject to arrest, immigration detention, and deportation. May I suggest that you don’t know what you’re talking about?Tony *******

Bangkok is a city of artificial beauty. So you can just rome around and will found lots of beauty salon and cosmic surgery centers. But sometimes you will face language barriers over Bangkok city. English spoken beauty artist/trainers will charge more then locals because they mostly serve tourists in a high rate. I always go to my personal hair dresser for haircut and hair colors.

Alright, I am not joking. But there are a bunch of ladyboys on Soi 11. You just go to the prettiest one and ask her to take you around. Just offer to pay for her haircut and nails.

555, if you can't beat them, then join them. When a ladyboy has better hair and nails than you, it is best to ask them for advice. Plus, you are safe around them. They are not interested in you and would protect you from all the creepy sexpats.

as a solo traveler, I’ve found that it’s pretty easy to make friends in Thailand just by exploring the local coffee scene instead of drinking coffee in my hotel. Look for a cafe where you can actually sit or stand at the counter and chat with the baristas, and they’ll remember you the next time you visit. House of Supha in Talat Noi and Old Town Cafe in the old city are especially great for this, but as a stylist staying on Sukhumvit 11, you might really like Sometimes I Feel on Sukhumvit 31. The team is very nice, and the place manages to be stylish, vintage, a little nerdy, and like being in a friend’s living room at the same time. I’d trust them to know some great stylists, or have stylish friends with great hair who are open to helping you out.
I sometimes ask baristas to tell me where to go for food, and to write down in Thai what to order. And places where I might otherwise feel totally intimidated by the language and cultural barriers just start smiling when I hand over a slip of paper. I bet you could do that with hair, too, although I think you’ll find that many of the experienced stylists are pretty comfortable speaking English.

I used to be PAINFULLY shy. There's something about Thailand that will put you in a "what's there to lose" mindset. However, I can recommend a pair of translation earbuds that will make communication MUCH easier, if you're interested.Kelly ********

I'm a straight male married to an awesome Thai woman. However, I'm a firm believer in human resources. You have to "mine" these resources like any other to find the best. I doubt that any group of people will be more qualified in the area of aesthetics.Nabo ****

but it would have been much easier for me if I knew someone there, as I’m a bit shy & totally a newbie there so yhActivity
