With only three seats available, a reservation is recommended. Treatments last for more than an hour, but you can walk out with a head-wrap if you just absolutely need to get back to the office.
Best for: Beauty queens who’ve done too much coloring.
Price: Treatment starts from B450 for men and B550 for women.
