I disagree somewhat. What you are failing to take into account is the amount of time and work it is to do a woman's hair. It is one reason for the higher pricing. It is time consuming. Whereas men's hair cuts and grooming services usually take far less time and more customers can be done in that time, which increases the amount made due to volume/turn over. A woman can take 3 hours or more in the salon. A man, usually less than an hour. Thereby, unless you have a HUGE shop to stash these women waiting while this is done, that dried, the dye job sets, or that is done so you can work on others, this limits your amount of customers that can be helped. I've seen waiting lines in the salons that take hours to clear/catch up, many end up leaving to try somewhere else or come back another day. Also I stated that the shop I proposed would be directed at farang and more affluent Thai men (of which there are many in Surin). Hence, higher prices and not the usual Thai price of 60 baht a cut. We are talking 'premium' styling and haircuts and service. 300, 400, 500 baht. High end, not the usual. See what I am saying? Exclusive 'executive' service of a higher caliber than the usual. And advertised that way for the snob appeal.

Mike it don't work that way, thai men won't pay hi price for a trim because that's all it is , thai ladies on the other hand will pay for there lovely long hair to be styled because they all want to be models , it does take longer but the price reflects on the end result.
That's why Ladies are called hair salons , and mens are caled barbers shops.
i have been involved in this business, for more than 30 years in one way or another with my late wife , and with my TGF, who has learnt the hair trade since she was 14 with her grandpa , and with her aunt sow in nong yow.
