Services in Hanoi
Pick one, or ask for a package.
Rent a beautiful ao dai for a day of your Vietnam trip. Dozens of colours and styles, a proper fitting, and the matching trousers included. We bring options to your hotel or fit you by appointment.
The full experience: rent the ao dai, add hair and makeup at your hotel, then a local photographer walks you through the best spots. Edited photos delivered in 48 hours.
Ao dai for everyone — partners, parents, grandparents and children. Coordinate colours across the group and we deliver the whole set to one hotel.
Renting an ao dai for a Vietnamese wedding you're attending, for Tet (Lunar New Year), or a graduation? We match the formality and colour etiquette and get you dressed on time.
Add professional hair and makeup to any rental. A Cáo artist comes to your hotel with a full kit — natural, glam or Korean-style, done in about an hour and built to last in the heat.
Short on time? Message your size and hotel and we deliver a choice of ao dai to your room, wait while you decide, and collect it after. Same-day is often possible in Hanoi, Saigon, Hoi An and Da Nang.

Where is the best place for an ao dai photoshoot in Hanoi?
Temple of Literature (Van Mieu), Hoan Kiem Lake & Huc Bridge, Old Quarter & Dong Xuan are the classic choices. We start early (7–8am) to avoid crowds and heat, and route the walk so you reach 3–5 spots within an hour or two of your hotel.
Do you come to hotels anywhere in Hanoi?
Yes. Artists travel to hotels and Airbnbs across the city; for outer districts we may add a small travel fee, which we tell you before you confirm.
How does ao dai rental work?
Message us on WhatsApp or Zalo with your city, dates, size and the colours you like. We bring a choice to your hotel (or fit you by appointment), you try them on, we take a small refundable deposit, and you return the ao dai after your session. Same-day is often possible.
What sizes do you have?
Women, men and children, in sizes XS to XXL including tall and plus-size. If you are unsure, send your height and usual dress or shirt size and we will bring options that fit.
How much does it cost?
Rental prices depend on the city, the style and how long you keep the ao dai. Message us and we send an exact, all-in quote within the hour — no hidden fees. A small refundable deposit confirms the booking.
Is there a deposit?
Yes, a small refundable deposit (returned when you bring the ao dai back undamaged) or a copy of ID, depending on the rental. We explain it clearly before you pay anything.
