Updo in Hong Kong

Updo Styling in Hong Kong

Four of the six Hong Kong salons that list updo work sit close together on Hong Kong Island. Sozo Hair Design and INDULGENCE are both on Wyndham Street in Central, SHHH 希聲堂 is a few minutes away on Hollywood Road in Sheung Wan, and privé hair Salon is over in Happy Valley. If you want to see two or three stylists in one afternoon before committing, Central and Western is the only part of the city where that is practical.

The rest of the list spreads out. Mind hair is on Kwong Fuk Rd in Tai Po, and Fancy fair Hair Studio is out on On Ning Rd in Yuen Long. For anyone already in the New Territories those two save a trip across the harbour, though the choice out there is thin.

What the ratings show

All six listings carry a rating, and the average across them is 4.3. privé hair Salon sits at 5.0 from 74 reviews, SHHH 希聲堂 at 4.9 from 48. Sozo Hair Design has the deepest review history of the group, 173 reviews at 4.5. The lowest is Fancy fair Hair Studio at 3.0, but that comes from two reviews, which is too small a sample to draw much from.

Before you call

Updo is a broad label. A tight chignon, a soft twisted knot and a braided style ask for different amounts of chair time and different skills, so it helps to bring a photo rather than a word. None of these profiles list a price for the service, so settle that on the phone. None of them accept online booking through us yet either, so calling is still how you get a slot.

12 salons in Hong Kong currently list updo work. That is a short list for a city this size, and it thins further once you filter by district, so book well ahead of a wedding or a dinner date. It is also worth looking through the broader Hair Salons listings, since plenty of stylists who put hair up have never tagged it as a separate service.

If you run a salon and updo work is part of what you do, you can add your salon to Glow360 and appear on this page.
