Popular Post webfact Posted June 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2018 Street Battle Erupts In Nakhon Pathom Over 140K Baht Haircut By Asaree Thaitrakulpanich, Staff Reporter Nampeung Chanmeechai goes ballistic Friday over her 140,000 baht haircut bill in Nakhon Pathom. NAKHON PATHOM — A beauty salon owner is accusing a customer of defamation for a storefront rant that blew up into a full fledged brawl over a 140,000 baht bill. The criminal complaint came after Nampeung Chanmeechai went to Natita Muksire’s salon last month in western metro Bangkok for hair extensions and various treatments. The bill came to 140,000 baht. This past Friday, Nampeung – still 100,000 baht in the hole – showed up with a beer buzz to scream in front of the salon while the two women’s significant others let their fists fly.

Hells teeth, anyone would go ballistic getting a bill that big for a bloody hair do. Agreed, totally outrageous. Made even worse by the fact that the woman's hair looks like that of a haggled old witch after sleeping in a hedge. If that is what 140,000 gets you, I will stick with the 80 Baht trim thanks. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokerface1 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hair extensions are big business and big money. Evidently it's a real science if taken to the extreme, color matching, quality of the hair and where it came from.etc. My partner spent 10 hours in the salon and paid $180 Aud or 4320 baht. In Beverley Hills that exorbitant price might be the norm lol but in Thailand it's a rip off...In your dreams babe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardColeman Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Knowing Thais love of money, I find it hard to believe they would allow her to have such an expensive treatment and preparation without taking a hefty deposit first - if only for the creation of the extentions.

Popular Post Kerryd Posted June 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2018 Reading the whole story, this wasn't an "hour in the shop and gone" kind of thing. Apparently the whole process took about 3 weeks as (supposedly) they made 24 "layers" of hair (at 4,000 baht each time) as well as a number of other hair and nail treatments (and even some clothes for some reason). I am surprised that no payment was made/requested until after the entire process was done, especially considering the costs being racked up. I am also surprised that the customer supposedly didn't know what the whole process would cost (down to the last satang) and claims she didn't find out until the end. Doesn't sound typical to me. Then again, some of us don't need to go to a "salon" (or barbershop) as often as we used to so maybe things are different now ! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLW Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Thailand still widens my horizon how stupid people can be and pay that amount of money just for beauty purposes. And that at a local shop in Nakhon Nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldrunner Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I'm happy with my 100 baht haircut and 100 baht shave, plus 20 baht tip on top of each. It's a Thai customer type shop and their customers look at me like I'm a loon on the 20 baht tips. Only one bad scene when my regular barber was tied up with a squaling (sic) brat and I was encouraged to make use of the available Thai lady. When she began shearing the side of my head despite my screams (exaggeration) of chai yen yen, and STOP, she was already 1/2 into a typical Thai man's shearing. Never again. I'll wait for my regular Thai man barber for future visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait for my regular Thai man barber for future visits. Same here. My haircut Bt100. My usual barber not there and as usual I explained. With clipper action, "Mai Ao Krup. Scissor action Ao Krup". Laughter between the hair butcher and customers and away he went with the clippers. Like an Ozzy sheep shearer- I do mean shearer. Taking the advice given to British Colonial Ladies, 'When being raped, lay back and think of England.' With one side resembling Yul Brynner It was too late to protest . So I'm now in the World Cup fashion and have a haircut much the same as some of the African football teams. And old softie still gave him bt20 tip. I'm getting very benevolent in my old age.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My scalp hair hasn't extended in over 30 years. And a lot of the Thai women I see are getting pretty thin in a lot of spots. Seems to be more prevalent in Thailand than in China, or back home. Is that a real thing? Or am I imagining that more Thai women lose a lot of their hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
