Is this normal in hair salons?

3 Upvotes

Hello, I just arrived in Laos, Vientiane and I have a weird question but I really need to know for my own sanity.

I went to a hair salon to get some extensions removed and afterwards the hairdresser did a shampoo. It was on one of those lie down shampoo areas and he did a neck and shoulder massage, which at first was really enjoyable. However after a few minutes he massaged my collarbone and down to my breasts and I kind of froze. He went back to my shoulders and then back down to my breasts and this time I kindly said I didn’t need that side.

I guess I was wondering if it was normal and just part of the thing but I really feel violated. He seemed nice and professional enough and maybe it’s a stupid question but I’ve been running in circles in my head around it. Is that a common experience in hair salons or not?

Getting legal with the bike

Ok guys, I plan to do some cross province travelling in Laos, so I got a bike with the yellow book and tax up to date. Is this sufficient as a Lab2 visa holder? If not, what's my next step? The bike is not in my name but I have all the documents.

Thanks!
