Koh Chang's salon scene centres on named, genuinely established options like Diva Spa & Beauty and Pim Beauty & Salon on White Sand Beach and Hannah Nail Art in Klong Phlu, alongside in-house resort spa-salons and independent nail bars and hair salons listed on GoWabi across the island. Here is where to go and what it costs.
Operating since 2021 on White Sand Beach, Diva Spa & Beauty focuses on nail art, eyelash extensions, eyebrow shaping and waxing, open daily 10:00-18:00 except Tuesdays.
Located on White Sand Beach next to Jinda Restaurant and opposite the 7-Eleven, Pim Beauty & Salon covers haircuts, coloring and styling plus manicures and facial scrubs — a genuine walk-in option on the main strip.
Tucked into Klong Phlu Waterfall Alley away from the beach strip, Hannah Nail Art specializes in nail design, manicures, pedicures and add-on spa treatments.
Koh Chang Resort and Spa and Aana Resort on Klong Prao, Kacha Resort and Spa, KC Grande Resort's Chiva Spa on White Sand Beach, and Centara Tropicana's Spa Cenvaree all run in-house spa-salon counters for guests and outside bookings, usually priced above independents.
The GoWabi booking platform lists a rotating set of independent nail bars, hair salons and spa/massage venues across the island, including several in the Ko Chang Tai (Bang Bao/Kai Bae) subdistrict — useful for confirming current hours and booking ahead.
Indicative salon prices — actual costs vary by salon, product brand and hair length. USD figures are approximate (around ฿36 = $1); confirm with a written quote or fixed menu price before starting any color or treatment service.

Diva Spa & Beauty and Pim Beauty & Salon serve a steady tourist and expat clientele on White Sand Beach and manage fine in English; smaller independents and Ko Chang Tai listings vary more — a reference photo helps regardless.
Independent salons and nail studios mostly take cash or a PromptPay QR code; resort spa-salons are more likely to accept card payment.
For anything beyond a routine trim, bring a clear reference photo — it bridges the language gap far more reliably than a verbal description and is standard practice across Thai salons.
White Sand Beach's better-known spots can book up during the November-April high season; message ahead via Facebook or Instagram rather than just walking in.
Like much of the island's service economy, some smaller salons reduce hours or close for stretches during the May-October southwest monsoon low season.
There is no visa rule tied to salon services — DTV, LTR, retirement and Non-B visitors all use the same salons and pay the same way, with no Thai residency or work permit required.
Diva Spa & Beauty and Pim Beauty & Salon on White Sand Beach are named, established options, alongside Hannah Nail Art in Klong Phlu, several resort spa-salons, and independent nail bars and hair salons listed on GoWabi across the island, including the Ko Chang Tai (Bang Bao/Kai Bae) subdistrict.
A women's haircut and blow-dry typically runs ฿300-800 (about USD 8-22) and a men's haircut ฿150-350 (about USD 4-10) at independent salons — resort spa-salons sit above that range.
Diva Spa & Beauty and Pim Beauty & Salon, both on the tourist-heavy White Sand Beach strip, manage fine in English. Smaller independents and listings further from the beach vary more, though a reference photo is usually enough to get the result you want.
Some do — Koh Chang follows the same May-October southwest monsoon as the rest of the Gulf coast, and smaller independent salons in particular may reduce hours or close for stretches. Message ahead rather than assuming a salon is open.
