The last time i was in Chennai I decided to accompany my cousins while they got their hair treatments at this salon. While I was waiting in their tiny waiting room I was coaxed by one of their staff to try a head massage. Well, it didn't take much convincing and I stepped into their Men's section.
The space is not fancy or upscale, very minimal but clean. A TV mounted on the wall played a regional channel and every time a song came on one of the men there would turn up the volume. So it wasn't really a calming atmosphere but nevertheless I was ready for my head massage.
I asked for the simple one without all the karate chopping that I have noticed a lot of head massages include. It was a pretty decent head massage. He used a generous amount of Olive oil and then suggested I try their special Aloe vera treatment - "Very cooling sir!" To my surprise they actually brought in a part of the plant and extracted its juice. Very organic and natural I must say. He used both the juice and stalk on my head and it was indeed very cooling. I almost did not hear the blaring songs, that's how nice it felt.
The staff were very friendly and very nice. It was a good experience. They do know how to sell their stuff although you would not expect that. The girls had a good experience too. None of us had a hair cut or anything fancy, so cannot really comment on that.
I would go back for their Aloe massage the next time I am in town.
