It is worth looking for a salon that regularly deals with expatriate hair if you are considering perming or coloring as the structure of Asian hair is much coarser than Caucasian hair and therefore reacts differently to the chemicals that are used in the curling or coloring processes. If a hairdresser is not familiar with these characteristics and the differences in the amount of time that the chemicals will react, Caucasian hair can become damaged through over treatment. Not all salons carry a wide range of hair colors. If you are considering an unusual color, inquire ahead as the salon may have to order the color. Highlights to your hair should be applied through using lighter hair colors, not by bleaching the hair.
Hair extensions are also available in the better salons.
It is often difficult to find matching hair color for foreigners, so the hair will have to be ordered first and can normally be obtained within a few days. After this process is completed the hair can be combed and washed as usual without fear of the extensions coming off. Needless to say, hair extensions require a lot of patience on the part of both the client and the hairdresser.
