The short version
Udon Thani's salon scene centres on two named mall salons on Central Plaza's 3rd floor, a dedicated nail salon on Jam Nusorn Road, a spa in the Mak Khaeng subdistrict, and a wide spread of independent salons and barbershops across the city centre. This guide covers where to go, what it costs and how to book.
Where to get a haircut & beauty services in Udon Thani
A1 Hairsalon operates on the 3rd floor of Central Plaza Udon Thani (Room A306), a mall-based option offering cuts, color and styling with the convenience of an air-conditioned retail setting.
ToB1 Hair Station is a second named salon on Central Plaza Udon Thani's 3rd floor (Room A305), offering standard hair services alongside A1 Hairsalon in the same mall corridor.
BB Nail & Spa, located on Jam Nusorn Road, is a dedicated nail salon offering manicures, pedicures and gel/acrylic extensions outside the mall setting.
Bonita Spa, in the Mak Khaeng subdistrict, offers spa and wellness treatments and can be booked online through third-party booking platforms.
Beyond the named mall and spa options above, Udon Thani's wider city centre carries numerous independent hair salons and barbershops, per local business directories -- the honest everyday choice for routine cuts at typical Isaan-province prices.
Barbershops are easiest to find around the city centre and near the malls, offering scissor cuts and fades at accessible prices.

Booking, payment & practical tips
Central Plaza's mall-based salons like A1 Hairsalon and ToB1 Hair Station are generally easier to communicate with in English than smaller independents; some spa services (like Bonita Spa) can be booked online in advance via third-party platforms.
Mall-based salons typically accept cards and PromptPay QR alongside cash; smaller independents outside the malls are more likely cash-only.
For anything beyond a routine trim, a clear reference photo bridges the language gap far more reliably than a verbal description, especially outside the mall setting.
As with any personal-service business, checking recent reviews before a significant color or chemical treatment is worthwhile -- experiences can vary even at established mall locations.
There is no visa rule tied to salon services -- DTV, LTR, retirement and other visa holders all use the same salons and pay the same way.
