A Tangerang hair salon with a perfect 5.0 rating sounds unbelievable, but this spot might be worth the hype. Find out what makes the service so exceptional and why stylists Iwan and Zura deliver flawless cuts. This honest review also shares crucial warnings about which service to skip and its lack of privacy for hijabi customers. Plus, get insider tips on how to book your appointment and snag a 25% discount for your next visit.
Girls, I've explored the Gading Serpong area in Tangerang quite a bit, but for a hair salon to get almost 1700 reviews on Google and still have a perfect 5.0 rating, I refused to believe it at first[1]. They must be fake reviews, right? Anjay! With an "I have to see what the hype is all about" attitude, I went ahead and booked an appointment.
The result... I was totally won over! Right from booking the appointment on WhatsApp, I could feel the difference. They replied instantly, super efficient, and there was absolutely no waiting when I arrived[2]. Even though the salon is located in a shophouse, it was unbelievably clean; any strand of hair on the floor would be cleaned up at lightning speed[3]. My OCD was extremely satisfied. During the hair wash, the guy constantly checked the water temperature, and the massage pressure was on point. They nailed every single detail of the service[4]. Mantap!
This time, I didn't get a color or perm; I just wanted a simple trim to change up my mood. The person who cut my hair was Iwan, and he was super patient throughout the entire consultation. He totally got my "just a little trim, but make it look different" kind of abstract request. I was very satisfied with the result after the cut; the layers and shape came out perfectly. No wonder he and another stylist named Zura are constantly requested by name[5]. The hair treatment was also super meticulous; it felt like my hair had drunk its fill of water, so smooth I just wanted to keep touching it.
But, let's get real
Now that I'm done with the praise, I have to point out the flaws. While the haircut and hair treatment experience was a 10/10, I really have to warn you against their hair removal service[6]. It's actually done openly in the hair-washing area, with zero privacy whatsoever, and the tools looked a bit questionable... Girls, think twice about this one!
Also, it's not very friendly for our sisters who wear hijabs (hijabi). The salon doesn't have a dedicated private room for them[7], which I hope they can improve on in the future.
Tips to Avoid Pitfalls & Save Money
Finally, here are the key takeaways for you guys, take note if you plan to go:
- Foolproof Stylist Choice: Go straight for Iwan or Zura[8]. Their communication and skills are on point, so you're unlikely to get a bad result.
- Book in Advance: You must book in advance via WhatsApp! The salon replies quickly, so you'll have zero waiting time when you arrive, making for a great experience.
- Time to Snag a Deal: At this Gading Serpong branch, you can get up to 25% off on Mondays[9]! It seems they also have a birthday month discount, you can ask about it in advance.
- Services to Avoid: For those who just want a cut, treatment, or color, go for it without hesitation. But if you're thinking about hair removal, I suggest going to another place. The experience and privacy are really not good.
- A Gading Serpong miracle: perfect 5.0 from ~1700 Google reviews. The insane hype [1] is real.
- A haven for perfectionists. The shop is spotlessly clean; fallen hairs are swept up instantly [2]. So satisfying.
- Stylist Iwan gets the impossible request: "trim a little but make it look different" [3]. He nailed the layers and shape. A legend
