Hi Travelling babii, I will leave the hair salon questions to someone who will know more, Tina your good on this stuff.
As for bags prices will vary depending on the bag, quality etc. Our really good bags we paid $50 Aus for last year....good quality leather, there where many others much cheaper and still good quality. So it will depend on what you want, your bartering skills and if its a rare type of bag. The bag I bought I didn't see in any other shops.
You can buy well know brands of makeup and hair products over there, not exactly sure about the brands you mention though cause I haven't looked for them.
Thailand is the best you will love it

For the good salon in Phuket, you can go to Central Festival. The best salon there is "Toni & Guy" and of course the price is very expensive too. Another salon which is quite good is "Cut & Curl". Both of them are on the second dloor of Central Festival Phuket.

For the cosmetic, there is no brand that you mentioned above. All of those products are available in Bangkok and they are all imported.

For Hair products, I don't know Redkin and Kerastace. But there are many Loreal products here. You can get it from Boots, Watsons or Tops Supermarket in Central Festival or in Jungceylon Patong.

And for additional tips, tourist can get tourist discount coupon and VAT refund if you do shopping in Central Festival Phuket. And now they have a campaign to support the Global Warming Project, for any product you purchase and request no bag, you would get 5% discount top up. So please carry some empty bag, if you wanna do some shopping there.

Enjoy your holiday!

Patty!

Well.. if you said a Style Cut there cost $90-120 so Toni & Guy here would not expensive for you. There are 3-4 grade of hairdresser in Toni & Guy in Central Festival. The beginner hairdresser would cost about 800 THB (less than $30) for a style cut and for the professional hairdresser would cost about 1,500 THB (about $50).

Cut & Curl is local salon but have more than 4 branches in Phuket. It's quite popular for teenagers as the price is not too expensive and quite fashionable. The cost for hair cut would be abot 250-350 THB (less than $12)

I don't really know what is the cost for other hair done such as Hair extensions. But if you would like to know, just list your questions and I can call Toni & Gey for you this afternoon. Now it's morning and the shop doesn't open yet. $;\)$

Hi Travelling Babii,

Just checking for you. There is no more Toni & Guy in Central Festival now. There is another Salon call West One which is quite professional too.

West one Salon:

- Hair Extensions cost 15,000 - 18,000. They use real hair. This price includes doing hair colour to match with your hair (don't know exactly word in English) and hair cut too. It takes about 2.5 hrs for doing this and it lasting long for 8 months.

- Rebouning straightening cost 5,500 THB and it takes about 3 hr.

- Normal haircut is 1,300 THB.

If you are interesting to do here, you need to make an appointment. You can also contact the owner for more information, Mr.George w1salon@yahoo.com.

For Cut & Curl, there is no Hair Extensions. For Rebouning Straightening cost 2,500 - 6,000 THB depends on your hair. Normal Hair cut cost 300 THB and 450 THB (new price).

Hope this help :-)

There is a few professional salons in Phuket. George is one of the best one (recommend by my British freind).

Will you fly directly to Phuket or stopover in Bangkok? Bangkok is much better in doing these kind of things.

For Thais, we usually go to normal salon for straightening and it costs only 500-1,500. Sometimes my friends bought her own chemical and just let the salon use her own. But I couldn't garantee for these salons as it's real local one.
