I was looking for this thread since 2 weeks as just another twit THOUGHT they could cut my hair STRAIGHT.
damn , a difference of 0.5 cm at least between both ears (no, funny ones, not THE ears.)
Already put his cell in my Iphone ! 4 years of failures and distress finally solved :discodance:
You could also give Diane a try. She has several satisifed customers here on these boards. She speaks good English (and good Swedish, too), lived in the US for a year or so and worked in Europe for several years, so she knows western hair and hair styles. She also worked in Hong Kong for a short time.
Sheās conveniently located in the middle of Taipei, a short walk behind SOGO towards Civic Blvd. By MRT, get off at the Zhongxiao/Fuxing station on the blue line, taking the SOGO exit (4). When you get out, walk in the direction of Dunhua for about a hundred meters until you hit Daāan Rd. Turn left on Daāan towards Civic Blvd. Pass a 7-11 on your right hand side. The last lane on your right before you get to the Family Mart convenience store is lane 31. Turn right into that lane and youāll find Diane about a hundred meters down, on your left hand side just after the intersection. A Google map
Phone: 2778 4733
Address: Daāan Rd., Sec. 1, Ln. 31, No. 31, 2Fl.
Give her a call, as she works exclusively on appointment. Sheās open till 9pm Wednesday through Sunday and has Mondays and Tuesdays off.
I managed to get Eddieās new site up and running with a little help from his server host.
You can now visit:
Later his other domain name should be working at some point, which would be eddietham.com
Iām lookin to get a new haircut around in Taipei and I donāt mind paying good money as long as I can get a good/stylish cut. Do any of you know a place where I can get a good haircut in Taipei? Thanks!
BUMP (as Dragonbones did before)
I must de-Bump as I am not sure anymore what all this Bumping meansā¦ 
off-topic anyway

Eddie says:
āI will be going from: 11th Oct till 1st Nov. Start working in the salon on the 2nd Nov.
Reason of the trip: UK Hair Convention.ā
So no haircuts from Eddie until he returns. If you need one, you better be quick about it.
Just wanted to add my two cents!
I went to go see Eddie today, and it was a wonderful experience. The salon is very easy to find (right outside of Zhongxiao Fuxing station), and quite lovely. Eddie himself was very friendly, and not only gave me a wonderful haircut, but highlighted my hair exactly how I wanted it (which was difficult, since I was going from dark brown to blonde).
Add in a great scalp massage and shampoo, and youāve got an amazing experience for a reasonable price.
Iād definitely recommend him!
+1 for Eddie as well!
He is fluent in English and has worked almost 20 years in Malaysia, London, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand. Mix & Match (his salon) provides complementary tea, and gives nice long shampoo/massages. Eddie has a very good sense of style (especially for foreigners)ā¦ he really knows how to do hair! Over 70% of his clients are from abroad, so that has to mean something 
Oh, by the way, he has a new web site: www.eddietham.com. It provides more information about himself, his salon hours, pricing, location, and a gallery of some of his past clients.
I highly recommend him!
How much does Diane charge for a haircut?
1k
Another vote for Eddie Tham!
I recently got a haircut from him and he seemed very skilled at figuring out which cuts work best for my hair type and facial shape. Heāll definitely offer recommendations if you want them and heās quite pleasant to chat with. He speaks 5 languages and is completely fluent in English. You can even detect a bit of a British accent because of all the time he spent training and working in London.
I would definitely go back!
Does anyone recommend a hair stylist to cut short, naturally curly hair. I donāt care about the language issue as much as I want someone who knows what they are doing. I am hoping someone has had a good experience with a stylist and I can try them out.
I have been to Eddie, Diane and George Paiās in Tienmu and wonāt go back to any of them. I was hoping there was some new talent in the hair market. I usually get my hair cut on trips abroad, but I am getting desperate.
thanks a lot!
hi, this is pretty much a plug, we just opened a salon in the xinyi district, mrt city hall station exit 4 on zhongxiao e. rd. the stylistās name is dra. she used to work in la for 10 years. you can find more info on www.drashairlab.comā¦. we have a special right now, Male Cut/Style $750, Female Cut/Style $950, and Color Gloss for $1500.

Thanks rozzypu! I will be making an appointment!! 
sure thing! you can email drashairlab@hotmail.com, call us/sms 0931 989 383, make an appt thru the website, or send me a pm, which ever method of communication you prefer
Not sure of the tipping etiquette here in Taiwan, but is a tip necessary when going for a haircut?
No
Better late than never!!!
I just wanted to post that I did make an appointment at Draās Hai Lab as I said I would about a month ago! Thanks so much to Sandra and Roz for the great hair cut! I have had tons of compliments and have sent 2 friends there for cuts as well. One of my friends even said that this was the best cut she has ever seen on me.
I will be back for more cuts and will keep recommending Draās Hair Lab to others. Finally, I have found a place for a decent haircut!!
I also wish to vote for Eddie, and I miss him, Iāve been back in the UK and Australia for months now and canāt get a satisfactory haircut.
Eddie made a point of listening to my concerns and remembered me so I always got a wonderful cut.
It seems weird to me that I can get a brilliant cut in Taipei, but where I speak the lingo, it comes out rubbish!
hi taisan,
thanks! we loved having you here!
