I have tried afew ways from watching YouTube videos by professional cleaners + trying miracle Japanese products and it’s either super thorough but it takes up a lot of time and creates a lot of waste each time (repeated wiping using cloth and I feel it’s abit gross to reuse the cloth) or effortless and I spend more money on limited miracles that didn’t happen (leave on bubbles that didn’t clean the dirt as stated).

Any recommendations?

Hi guys!

Anyone went to Hint Salon for a haircut recently (May 2026) ? I have been stalking their insta for abit and decided to pamper myself and feel pretty. All their reviews look so good. I went last week and it was really a poor experience.

So I have thick volume hair. A random male stylist greeted me as if I had some problem to fix. I love my thick hair tbh. His whole energy throughout the 1hr was not patient with me (salon was empty) and at the end, very insensitive. He straightened my hair but I told him I like waves. He didn’t ask me how I would like it to be styled prior. Then he said as my head and hair was BIG I should not have waves or curls. And he even teach me how to be a girl, he said, girls usually want to look small and have small faces, a straight hair will help.

Didn’t expect to pay $70 to be criticized so casually. It’s like walking into a shop finally buying that cute top you wanted but the sales assistant say your body is too big, throw on a jacket, hide it!!! fat girls like you should never ever wear cute tops, you need to slim down!!

I know this salon is popular amongst skinny pretty influencers but I didn’t expect to be treated like a second class citizen just because I am not size XS or living up to the stylist definition of a “girl”. Maybe I should have known sigh. Some may say I am sensitive but yes I am sensitive, I am paying for the service, I do expect the stylist to also be sensitive.

Anyone had similar experience?

Update: Thanks for sharing your thoughts guys. It was a first time experiencing it at a salon in my life after such anticipation so was feeling quite triggered. Will note down ur tips!
