This stylist has broken away from Salon Esprit to open his own studio. Trained by Vidal Sassoon Hong Kong, Benson's 11 years of experience spent styling for international clients has proven invaluable. Specializing in coloring and highlights, Benson and his team keep up-to-date with global trends and styling techniques.

Benson Salon is among the very few in Shanghai that truly understands the difference in treating European hair and Asian hair. It has an experienced team with an international mind set who stay at the forefront of global trends.

Benson was trained by Vidal Sassoon Hong Kong and has 11 years' experience in hair styling and coloring for international clients. Benson has worked in Salon Esprit five years and has now opened his own studio in Shanghai, offering his specialty in coloring and highlights.

I forgot to mention his prices are about half of what you'd pay at most western salons in Shanghai!

I am an expat who has been living in shanghai for eight weeks.Benson salon was recommended by one of my friend who is also an expant living in shanghai.I have extremely thick,curly and frizzy blonde hair.However,the Benson salon did an incredible job straightening my hair .The entire process was very smooth and enjoyable .Their kind english-speaking staff kept me informed through the entire process. They did not use smelly chemicals and the process was painless .I was very nervous about the treatment making my hair brittle-but my hair is silky ,smooth -and still very strong.I can highly recommend the Benson Salon for any expat's needs. they are excellent with foreign hair--my best friend got a cut,color while I got my hair straightened. Not only was the color natral looking,the price could beat any salon in the US. Rachel Haryoof memphis,In Use

When I first came to Shanghai I had problems finding a good hairdresser. I tried several,but I never really got the highlights I wanted. But after going to Bensons Salon I am always satisfied with the color and the cut! Ingnd Mortensen Norway

Since moving to Shanghai 3 months ago. I have visited Benson and his team with my blonde highlights hair treatment, and cuts. They have always done a good job and would highly recommend to anyone in or moving to Shanghai. For full head of highlights is 730, half head is 580,very reasonable!

There is a good possibility that some, or all of these recommendations are fake.

this link explains why

Buyer beware of Bensons.

These reviews are all fake.

Whendy: "Benson was trained by Vidal Sassoon Hong Kong and has 11 years' experience in hair styling and coloring for international clients. Benson has worked in Salon Esprit five years and has now opened his own studio in Shanghai, offering his specialty in coloring and highlights."

Who the hell reviews like this? Isn't this from their pamphlet?

Railey: "I have african hair...Now i have silky hair for a reasonable price".

Hands up anyone who has black friends who talks like this? Describes their hair as "african hair"?

Micheal Wang: ".I was very nervous about the treatment making my hair brittle-but my hair is silky ,smooth" signed as Rachel Haryoof, Memphis

I'm sure it is just Rachel using her good friend Micheal's account to review

This salon and whoever is spamming for them is a pathetic joke. May all their lies, trickery, and deception return to them a thousandfold curses.

I knew Benson from the article ,it's one of the top 5 hairsalons in Shanghai. I tried last week they did very good color and cutting. The price is also cheaper than others. I am so happy and lucky to find there.

Benson Salon in the Jin an district seems to be pretty good. I have introduced my friends go there and they are happy with them. The stylist (Mark)speaks good english and does good blond highlights.

Forget Benson, they ruined my hair and the place smells like poo.

Oh wait, that was a fake review...just like the two by Victoria7 right above.

People, take your hair elsewhere.

I know for a fact that Benson does not spam online about his great services. These are real comments from real people who have been satisfied with his work. If you had a bad experience, then just go somewhere else. Opinions about hair stylists are totally subjective anyway...no need to get all emotional about it. And I love Benson Salon

I arrived in Shanghai 3 weeks ago and went straight to Bensons Salon due to the mess that a salon had made in Vietnam ( not used to western hair, ended up with grey/green hair). All i can say is i was treated like a princess from the moment i arrived till when i left. I had colour and cut, and some food whilst i waited. The staff there are all very friendly and speak english. I left feeling very happy and will def be going back. Any one looking for a hair salon, go there. I recommend it :0)

I'm going to ignore the question of validity for some of these reviews and instead just say that I had my hair chemically (Lisico) straightened at Benson's in April and had a wonderful experience. I paid 1/6 of what I would have paid in the States, and both Benson and his assistant were extremely thorough during the 4+ hours it took to turn my very curly hair into a stick-straight, shiny mane. When one piece still had a slight wave to it, Benson fixed it free of cost a few days later. My hair has stayed extremely straight since having it done. Although I can't speak for their haircuts or coloring processes, I highly recommend this salon for Japanese hair straightening.
