After visiting Independence Palace or walking around Nguyen Hue and the city’s cafés, a massage or Vietnamese hair wash can provide a quieter part of the day. Decide whether you want hair washing with several care treatments, or a session focused on body massage. The actual service, return journey and total cost matter as much as its duration.
For a combined wash-and-care experience, start by comparing SOL Barbershop’s 90-minute Vietnamese hair wash. For body massage, consider its 60-, 90- or 120-minute oil and hot stone options. Tipping at SOL is entirely optional.
SOL Barbershop and ChungTa Travel are part of the same brand family. This guide includes our own hair-wash and massage services; it is not an independent ranking of spas.

Why choose SOL for massage in Ho Chi Minh City?
A useful spa comparison goes beyond décor and photos. Consider which areas the service covers, its duration, the products used and whether you can explain your pressure preferences beforehand. These are central to SOL’s approach.
Disposable massage supplies and hygiene
SOL uses disposable massage supplies and prioritises clean materials and service surroundings. If you have particular preferences for hair-care, facial or massage-oil products, ask what is used before choosing your package.
Therapists with standardised professional training
Therapists receive standardised professional training, with different services for hair-wash packages and body massage. Explain the pressure you prefer, which areas deserve more attention and any areas you want left alone before the session.
Compare the treatment, not just a starting price
Hair-wash packages, body massage and home visits are different services. Choose the treatment first, then compare duration, therapist count and the total charge rather than judging every option by an hourly headline price.
Vietnamese hair wash, hot-stone spa or a home visit?
For hair wash, facial care and body relaxation
A Vietnamese hair-wash package at SOL involves more than shampoo. The 90-minute option combines back, neck, shoulder, leg, hand and head massage with facial cleansing, massage, a mask and hair washing. Its service list also includes shaving, facial hair removal and ear care.
The 120-minute package adds elements such as hot stones and scalp exfoliation. It suits visitors who want hair care and body massage in one appointment. Discuss any elements you do not want, such as shaving or ear care, before booking; inclusions and possible adjustments depend on the selected package.
The advertised duration covers the whole package, not 90 or 120 minutes of continuous hair washing. A 90-minute session may suit a first visit before dinner; compare the 120-minute option when you have a longer break.
For body-focused relaxation: oil and hot stones
Choose an oil and hot-stone full-body massage if your main interest is body massage rather than hair washing and facial care. SOL offers 60, 90 and 120-minute options, combining hands-on massage with warm stones.
Stronger pressure is not automatically a better fit. Explain your preferred pressure and any areas to focus on or avoid. Ask for adjustments if pressure or stone temperature feels uncomfortable. Hair washing is not automatically included in a body-massage booking; compare a hair-wash package if you want both.
Prefer to stay in? Ask about a home visit
SOL also offers home-visit oil body massage. Share your hotel or accommodation address, preferred time and treatment length so availability, space requirements and the full charge can be confirmed. Check your hotel’s visitor policy as well. A home massage is a separate service from an in-store hair-wash package.
At-home massage is available only in the Ho Chi Minh City area, with travel included in the price. Provide your accommodation address to confirm the appointment time and on-site requirements.
Foot massage and foot care are not always the same service
Sole and calf massage may be offered separately from nail care or exfoliation. SOL’s foot-care range has 90- and 120-minute options, rather than a quick half-hour foot rub. With only a short gap between sights, a suitable shorter service near your hotel may be more practical.
SOL Massage prices and therapist options
SOL prices vary by treatment, duration and therapist option, and are quoted in Vietnamese dong (VND). Use the links below for current menu prices, then ask for the full amount payable on your chosen date before booking.
| Service | Duration | Current menu |
|---|---|---|
| Vietnamese hair-wash package | 90 min | View current price |
| Vietnamese hair-wash package | 120 min | View current price |
| Oil & hot-stone body massage | 60 min | View current price |
| Oil & hot-stone body massage | 90 min | View current price |
| Oil & hot-stone body massage | 120 min | View current price |
| At-home oil body massage | 90 minutes | View current price |
Check the treatment cost, taxes, any service charge, agreed extras and cancellation terms. At-home massage is available only in the Ho Chi Minh City area, with travel included in the price. Optional tipping does not mean that all other charges are included. Prices and availability are subject to final confirmation.
“1 / 2” in the product options refers to the number of therapists, not guests. A two-therapist session is not a shared price for two customers. Couples or friends wanting to start together should confirm guest numbers, appointment availability, space and each person’s cost.
Tipping at SOL is optional
At SOL, whether to tip and how much to leave are entirely your choice. There is no compulsory tip or required percentage.
You can choose an amount if you would like to thank the therapist, but there is no need to meet a supposed standard tip. Tips and service charges are separate matters. Ask the price of any extra and agree to it before it begins. Other spas may have different tipping policies, so check with each venue.
Match the service to the break you want
- Your first Vietnamese hair washExplore the 90-minute package for hair washing, facial care and body massage in one appointment.
- Hair care plus hot stonesCompare the 120-minute hair-wash package and confirm the hot-stone and scalp-care elements you want.
- A body-massage appointmentChoose oil and hot-stone body massage without also booking hair washing or grooming.
- Travelling with others or on a scheduleTell SOL each person’s treatment choice, arrival time and whether you hope to start together, so availability can be checked.
Find SOL at 801 Trần Hưng Đạo
SOL Barbershop is at 801 Trần Hưng Đạo, in the District 5 / Cholon area of Ho Chi Minh City, not District 1. Use the full street number and the map below when arranging a ride. Usual opening hours are 10:00–22:00; check the latest possible start time before booking a long evening treatment.
Make a hair-wash package a main afternoon activity
One option is sightseeing and lunch in the morning, SOL in the afternoon, then your hotel or dinner. Allow time beyond the 90- or 120-minute package for discussing the service, getting ready afterwards and the return trip. Avoid placing a fixed-entry performance immediately after a first visit.
Combine it with Cholon, or allow a return trip from District 1
Compare the actual addresses of your sights, restaurant and SOL before deciding the order. Not every District 5 stop is within easy walking distance. Include rides when travelling with older relatives or in the rain. If you only want a quick foot massage before a booked dinner or transfer in District 1, a suitable venue near your hotel may be easier.
A departure-day massage needs separate time for luggage, getting ready, finding a car, traffic and the airline’s check-in requirements. The treatment’s end time is not your airport departure time. Choose the previous day if the schedule is tight.

Confirm treatments, group arrangements and hotel visits
- Date, guests and departure time: tell SOL each person’s treatment, duration and latest time to leave. Confirm requests for women, couples, simultaneous starts or a particular therapist before paying.
- Unwanted treatments: mention shaving, ear care, facial exfoliation or body areas you do not want treated, both when booking and before the session. Agree any substitutions and their cost in advance.
- At-home massage: available only in the Ho Chi Minh City area, with travel included. Provide your address and preferred time, and check space and hotel visitor rules. An oil-massage visit is not automatically a hair-wash or hot stone package.
- Pressure, oils and heat: mention product or fragrance sensitivities. Ask the therapist to stop or adjust if you feel pain, numbness or uncomfortable heat.
Massage and hair care are leisure services, not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment. If you are pregnant, receiving medical care, recently injured or unsure whether massage is suitable, consult a qualified health professional and tell the venue about relevant restrictions. See NCCIH’s massage safety advice.

SOL massage and head-spa booking questions
Does SOL only offer Vietnamese hair wash?
No. Its services also include oil and hot-stone body massage, Chinese-style wellness treatments, foot care and home-visit oil massage. Specify the service you want when enquiring.
How does hair wash differ from hot-stone body massage?
The hair-wash package combines hair, head and facial care with body relaxation. Oil and hot-stone massage focuses on the body. The 120-minute hair-wash package also lists hot stones, so compare that option if you want both.
Are menus available in English?
Yes. SOL has English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese menus. Menu availability does not mean every therapist speaks all five languages; mention your communication needs when enquiring.
Should I book ahead, and do I have to tip?
Book ahead for a particular date, long package or several people starting together. SOL does not require tips; any extra tip is your choice. Pay the treatment, agreed extras and other charges at the amount confirmed for your booking.
Is SOL suitable for a quick hair wash?
The 90- and 120-minute options are combined care packages. For a simple wash and blow-dry, a salon’s individual service may be a better fit. The package duration is not continuous shampooing time.
Can I skip ear care or shaving?
State any unwanted treatment when booking and again before the session. Skipping an item does not automatically entitle you to a replacement or partial refund; agree changes and the price in advance.
Book your SOL hair wash or massage
Send SOL your date, preferred time, group size and each person’s preferred service. Mention preferences about pressure, products or treatment elements, then confirm the service and full charge before booking.
