"Is there a decent salon in Malé?" It's a question I tried hard to find the answer to online but for whatever reason (probably because I used the phrase "beauty parlour" in my Google search), I failed. Luckily, I met a helpful Sri Lankan girl when I got here and she recommended Glam Salon. I have now been there a coupe of times and here are my thoughts.
Glam is a pretty nice salon -- neat and clean, with efficient service. They have all the regular services like facials, waxing, threading, haircuts, etc. and some fancy stuff like Brazilian blowouts, hair masks, chocolate waxing, blueberry waxing, etc. So far, I have had a decent experience with their services. That said, they're most definitely overpriced in comparison to salons in other South Asian countries.
Examples of prices at Glam Salon:
- Chocolate waxing of full legs + arms + underarms = MRF 700 (approx. USD 46)
- Basic haircut = MRF 200 (approx. USD 14)
- Classic clean-up facial (Sothys) = MRF 350 (approx. USD 23)
Pro Tip: Always check the prices of a service before you get it done. All the rates are not written down, and they seem to change from one day to the next! Also, never get half-legs waxing instead of full-legs waxing at Glam -- with a difference of merely MRF 50 (USD 3.5), it's not worth it!
Glam caters to women only. It is closed on Sundays and opens after 3:00 pm on Fridays. The salon has a fairly active Facebook page, although the website link seems defunct. Details below:
- Address: H.Azum, Ameenee Magu ( in front of Dharubaaruge), 20054 Malé
- Phone number: 331-4393
Thanks for sharing the information it would be helpful for others also in finding the good salon.
