Andreas Zhu Salon & Beauty Lounge
You don’t have to travel all the way to France to experience how it feels to sit in a Parisian salon. Just take a drive up north to Andreas Zhu Salon & Beauty Lounge in Pluit, and get ready to be transported to the classic and industrial Parisian era. Behind the salon is celebrity hairstylist Andreas Zhu, whose loyal clientele includes Indonesian superstars like Dian Sastro and Agnes Monica. The salon is most famous for haircutting and colouring, especially when it comes to balayage hair. If you want your locks to be cut by the celebrity hairstylist himself, be prepared to make an appointment long before your visit, and when we’re talking long here, it means around a month (or even more!) before the day!

One Piece by Hisato Suzuki
Headed by Hisato Suzuki, One Piece Hair Studio takes pride in being the first to introduce the Japanese Step Bone Cut in Indonesia. The hair cut technique used is especially perfect for Asian women, as it suits their bone structure and creates a slimmer effect. In comparison to other salons, this one is using a quite different way in hair cutting, as they use a combination of razor and scissor to create texture and more volume. And also, what is Japan without its advanced technology? Here at One Piece, you can enjoy amazing technologies such as carbonated water system (yes, they use soda water to wash your hair and peel off the dead skin flakes on your scalp!), bio straightening to moisturise your hair after rebonding or curling, and many more.

If Andreas Zhu Salon is like little Paris in Jakarta, Nobu is another thing. Here, you would feel like you are stepping into little Tokyo, as all of the hairstylists are Japanese and the space mimics those humble yet spacey studio in Japan. Each visit to Nobu will begin with a hair consultation, where you can ask for hairstyle ideas and share your concerns about your current hair condition.

Prestige Salon by Aar Yazuar
The relationship between hairstylist and customer is a sacred one, just ask top stylist Aar Yazuar. Aar’s loyal customers have been coming to him for years – even long before he opened up his own salon branch.
