    In 1999, the first author proved that a semialgebraic or real algebraic 2-dimensional set \(X \subset \mathbb{R}^n\), near a point \(x_0 \in X\), with a local link homeomorphic to \(S^1\), is bi-Lipschitz equivalent, with respect to the inner metric, to a revolution surface of the function \(y=x^\beta\) near \(0 \in \mathbb{R}^3\), where \(\beta \geq 1\) is a rational number. This number is named a horn exponent of \(X\) at \(x_0\). The paper is devoted to compute horn exponents for real semi-quasihomogeneous surfaces following the line of previous papers of the authors for other types of surfaces. As a consequence, it is proved that a generic semi-quasihomogeneous surface germ in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) with isolated singularity is bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic, with respect to the inner metric, to its quasihomogeneous approximation.
