Our 10 picks for hair salons in Singapore

Cuts, colour and hair treatments we'd book for a friend in Singapore.

Tried and asked around by the SGRecommends crew · Updated July 2026 · How we choose

THE SHORT ANSWER

Our top pick is Chez Vous for careful consultations, strong colour work and real skill with damaged or difficult hair.

Singapore is full of salons, but the best fit depends on more than who is trending. For cuts, ask who will actually look at your face shape, hair texture and daily routine before picking up scissors. For colour, especially bleach, balayage or corrective work, choose a team that talks through hair condition, upkeep and what is realistic in one visit.

We leaned towards salons with clear service menus, real client feedback, specialist strengths and enough consistency that we would send a friend there without hovering. Expect Orchard and Japanese or Korean specialist salons to cost more, while neighbourhood-style independents can offer better value if you already know the look you want.

Good to know

How much should I budget for a good hair salon in Singapore?

A basic cut at a reputable salon often starts around $60 to $100, while colour, perming or smoothing treatments can easily run from $180 to $500 depending on hair length, stylist level and product used.

Should I book a consultation before colouring or perming?

Yes, especially if your hair is bleached, damaged, previously dyed black or chemically straightened. A good stylist should check your hair condition and explain what can safely be done.

Are Korean and Japanese salons better for Asian hair?

Not always, but many are strong at soft perms, low-maintenance layers, natural brown colour, rebonding and texture control for Singapore's humidity. The individual stylist still matters most.

How do I avoid a bad salon experience?

Bring reference photos, ask about upkeep, confirm the full price before starting, and be wary if a salon pushes treatments or packages before discussing your hair goals.
