Positioned as a premium and luxury place, the unisex salon will offer hair cutting and styling, colouring and other hair treatment, waxing, manicures and pedicures. Prices for a haircut will start at Rs 600 and go on to over Rs 1,500 depending on the customer's specific needs and the stylist chosen, said Ms Brandy O'Reilly, Vice-President, Jorgenson group.
