Shampoo is a small and narrow bar attached to directly to Billboard. You can enter either through Billboard (hang a quick right as soon as you enter Billboard) or you can enter through the entrance on Durban Street.

There is a small stage at the back of the bar where about four ladies could dance at once. When I went I thought the selection was quite good and actually debated taking one of two different ladies from the place. There were probably around 20-25 ladies there when I went. It was a standard 3000 barfine, 300 lady drink place. I stayed and bought a lady drink for the girl on my right in the photo below and then headed out.

Found the exact address and phone number for Shampoo.

My best advice is to just stay out of this place. But if you must go, NEVER give them a credit card. The charge will likely appear 2 to 3 times when you get your statement and then it's too late. They vary the charges by a 10 to 20 pesos so it doesn't appear to be a mistake.

Paying cash? Expect your tab to be padded.

Girls are very pushy. You can almost count on a bad barfine. It's almost like they have plan amongst themselves. Do as little as you have to and collect the cash.

It's Filipino owned and that should tell you everything. When business is slow, they actually jack the drink prices up instead of lowering them to attract what business is available.

It took me a few visits before I figured out this place was poison. Don't make the same mistake(s).
