Tips for Haircut in Hoi An
- 1Use VND 50000 as your walk-away number. Anything quoted above VND 80000 for haircut in Hoi An is visitor pricing, not a seasonal or quality difference.
- 2Ask for the full price, including any extras, before the work starts. Personal services in Hoi An rarely post prices, which is what creates the VND 50000-to-VND 150000 spread.
- 3Shops in residential neighbourhoods price for repeat customers. Those inside the visitor circuit price for one visit.
- 4If you are watching your spending in Hoi An, custom tailoring deserves more attention than this — it carries the widest visitor markup of anything we price in the city.
- 5Pay in VND rather than accepting a conversion at the till; the offered rate is usually worse than your card's.
