Although cosmetic surgeries can be incredibly cheap in China, many of the cheaper establishments may just be a beauty parlour with an unlicensed \u2018doctor\u2019 undertaking the procedure. Double eyelid surgery, for example, is one of the most common surgeries in China as it is seen as being more beautiful and surgery. In a licensed hospital, this surgery can cost over 2000RMB, but can be as cheap as 180RMB in lesser establishments, which is around $27!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other popular procedures such as breast augmentation can be half the price<\/a> of the USA, which averages at $3,719<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6574\u5f62\u624b\u672f<\/a> (zh\u011bng x\u00edng sh\u01d2u sh\u00f9) cosmetic surgery<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u53cc\u773c\u76ae<\/a> (shu\u0101ng y\u01cen p\u00ed) double eyelid<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u4e30\u80f8<\/a> (f\u0113ng xi\u014dng) breast implants<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u9686\u80f8<\/a> (l\u014dng xi\u014dng) breast implants<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u7f8e\u767d<\/a> (m\u011bi b\u00e1i) to whiten<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u62c9\u76ae<\/a> (l\u0101 p\u00ed) facelift<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u8089\u6bd2\u6746\u83cc<\/a> (r\u00f2u d\u00fa g\u01cen j\u016bn) botox<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u7d27\u8179<\/a> (j\u01d0n f\u00f9) tummy tuck<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, there are still those who like to stick with the more short-term treatments of massage, facials, and pedicures to get their kicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although massage parlours may have gotten a reputation in China as being fronts for more sordid goings on,<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many different options when it comes to massage and salons, from the local parlour where you can get a range of massages, to a spa with a pool, sauna and restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The service at a local massage parlour, can still be pretty good and even if you go for a mani-pedi you\u2019ll also get a foot and maybe even a back massage. A pedicure also includes a \u2018treatment\u2019 I\u2019ve only ever had in China, where they essential \u2018shave\u2019 the heels of your feet to get rid of dead skins etc. It\u2019s gross, but worth a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big spas are a little more expensive, but you can usually just pay for one full body massage to be entitled to use the sauna and then go and hang out on lounge chairs in pyjamas to watch your favourite movie, while you get a head massage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a pretty big topic, so if you want to learn more, you can listen to our Two White Chicks in China podcast episode<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u7406\u5bb9\u9662<\/a> (l\u01d0 r\u00f3ng yu\u00e0n) massage parlour<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6309\u6469<\/a> (\u00e0n m\u00f3) massage<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u5973\u6309\u6469\u5e08<\/a> (n\u01da \u00e0n m\u00f3 sh\u012b) masseuse<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u7537\u6309\u6469\u5e08<\/a> (n\u00e1n \u00e0n m\u00f3 sh\u012b) masseur<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u7f8e\u5bb9\u5e97<\/a> (m\u011bi r\u00f3ng di\u00e0n) beauty salon<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u5168\u8eab<\/a> (qu\u00e1n sh\u0113n) whole body<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u9178<\/a> (su\u0101n) sore<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u75db<\/a> (t\u00f2ng) hurt<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u8f7b<\/a> (q\u012bng) gentle \/ light<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u91cd<\/a> (zh\u00f2ng) hard \/ heavy<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u4f11\u606f<\/a> (xi\u016b xi) to rest<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u7d2f<\/a> (l\u00e8i) tired<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u8863\u7269\u67dc<\/a> (y\u012b w\u00f9 gu\u00ec) locker<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u66f4\u8863\u5ba4<\/a> (g\u0113ng y\u012b sh\u00ec) changing room \/ locker room<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6851\u62ff<\/a> (s\u0101ng n\u00e1) sauna<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6dcb\u6d74<\/a> (l\u00edn y\u00f9) to shower<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u51cf\u538b<\/a> (ji\u01cen y\u0101) to reduce pressure<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u8212\u538b<\/a> (sh\u016b y\u0101) relieved \/ tensions relaxed<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6572\u80cc<\/a> (qi\u0101o b\u00e8i) back-knocking massage<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6cf0\u5f0f\u6309\u6469<\/a> (t\u00e0i sh\u00ec \u00e0n m\u00f3) thai-style<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u8db3\u7597<\/a> (z\u00fa li\u00e1o) foot massage<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6376\u80cc<\/a> (chu\u00ed b\u00e8i) back massage<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u63a8\u6cb9<\/a> (tu\u012b y\u00f3u) oil massage<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u7f8e\u7532<\/a> (m\u011bi ji\u01ce) mani-pedi<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u4fee\u811a<\/a> (xi\u016b ji\u01ceo) pedicure<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u4fee\u624b<\/a> (xi\u016b sh\u01d2u) manicure<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6d82\u6307\u7532<\/a> (t\u00fa zh\u01d0 jia) to paint nails<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u9762\u90e8\u6309\u6469<\/a> (mi\u00e0n b\u00f9 \u00e0n m\u00f3) facial<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6700\u8fd1\u52a0\u73ed\u592a\u591a\uff0c\u5728\u7535\u8111\u524d\u5750\u592a\u957f\u65f6\u95f4\u4e86\uff0c\u6211\u5168\u8eab\u9178\u75db<\/a>\u3002(zu\u00ec j\u00ecn ji\u0101 b\u0101n t\u00e0i du\u014d, z\u00e0i di\u00e0n n\u01ceo qi\u00e1n zu\u00f2 t\u00e0i ch\u00e1ng sh\u00ed ji\u0101n le, w\u01d2 qu\u00e1n sh\u0113n su\u0101n t\u00f2ng)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve done so much overtime recently, and my whole body aches from sitting in front of the computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u4e0b\u73ed\u4e4b\u540e\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u53bb\u505a\u4e2a\u6cf0\u5f0f\u6309\u6469\u5427<\/a>\u3002(xi\u00e0 b\u0101n zh\u012b h\u00f2u, w\u01d2 men q\u00f9 zu\u00f2 g\u00e8 t\u00e0i sh\u00ec \u00e0n m\u00f3 ba?) Why don\u2019t we go and get a thai-style massage after work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both men and women take great care of their hair in China, even if they don\u2019t colour, curl or style it in a particular way. But those who do, spend a great amount of time visiting the hairdressers to get a new style or to lighten their hair. It\u2019s quite common for people to go once a week to have their hair washed and styled, reminiscent of my grandma\u2019s time when women would get their semi-permanents once a fortnight. Even if you go to the cheapest salon, you can still get the works, that often includes a massage. There tends to be different pay grades depending on the skill of your stylist, but a standard cut can be as cheap as 30RMB if you have a VIP card, another standard for chain salons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perming and dying is gaining popularity in China, although these processes can mean spending a full day in the salon according to a friend who once got a perm. People who dye their hair often go for oranges and red, although more recently I\u2019ve spotted people with blue and purple highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u53d1\u5eca<\/a> (f\u00e0 l\u00e1ng) hair salon<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u53d1\u578b\u5e08<\/a> (f\u00e0 x\u00edng sh\u012b) stylist<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u526a\u5934\u53d1<\/a> (ji\u01cen t\u00f3u fa) to get a haircut<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u63a8\u5934<\/a> (tu\u012b t\u00f3u) to cut hair<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u70eb\u5934\u53d1<\/a> (t\u00e0ng t\u00f3u fa) to perm hair<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u5377\u53d1<\/a> (ju\u01cen f\u00e0) curl hair<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u5377\u53d1\u7b52<\/a> (ju\u01cen f\u00e0 t\u01d2ng) hair roller<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6d17\u5934<\/a> (x\u01d0 t\u00f3u) wash hair<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6f02\u767d\u5934\u53d1<\/a> (pi\u01ceo b\u00e1i t\u00f3u fa) bleach hair<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u67d3\u53d1<\/a> (r\u01cen f\u00e0) colour \/ dye hair<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6311\u67d3<\/a> (ti\u0101o r\u01cen) to highlight hair<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u5e72<\/a> (g\u0101n) dry<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u5218\u6d77<\/a> (li\u00fa h\u01cei) fringe or bangs<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u68b3\u5934<\/a> (sh\u016b t\u00f3u) comb hair<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u63a8\u5b50<\/a> (tu\u012b zi) hair clippers<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u53d1\u578b<\/a> (f\u00e0 x\u00edng) hair style<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u957f<\/a> (ch\u00e1ng) long<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u77ed <\/a>(du\u01cen) short<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6211\u7684\u5934\u53d1\u592a\u957f\u4e86\uff0c \u60f3\u526a\u4e00\u4e0b<\/a>\u3002(w\u01d2 de t\u00f3u fa t\u00e0i ch\u00e1ng le, xi\u01ceng ji\u01cen y\u012b xi\u00e0) My hair is too long, I want to cut it a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u4f60\u60f3\u600e\u4e48\u526a<\/a>\uff1f(n\u01d0 xi\u01ceng z\u011bn me ji\u01cen?)
