The 10 Best Hair Salons in Singapore

Trusted Singapore salons for polished cuts, colour work, smoothing, perms and repair treatments.

Reviewed by our editors · Updated July 2026 · How we rank

Our verdict: Chez Vous is the best hair salon in Singapore right now - best overall for complex colour and repair. Shunji Matsuo runs it closest.

Choosing a hair salon in Singapore is not just about a convenient MRT stop. Humidity, hard water, frequent colouring and scalp sensitivity can all affect how a cut, colour or treatment lasts, so the best salons are strong in consultation, technical control and aftercare advice.

This ranking favours salons with a clear speciality, visible track record and consistent client reputation. We prioritised places known for cut, colour and treatments rather than blowout-only concepts, and included a mix of premium Orchard names, Japanese and Korean specialists, and reliable local chains.

Chez Vous
89/100
Orchard salon group known for director-level cuts, colour correction and intensive hair treatments.

“Best overall for complex colour and repair.” - our editors
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Chez Vous earns the top spot because it combines technical depth with a very clear service system. The consultation style is a big part of its appeal: clients often mention being guided away from unsuitable services instead of being pushed into the most expensive option. It is particularly strong for balayage, highlights, smoothing and fixing previous salon mistakes. The trade-off is price and availability. Seniority, Orchard rent and long chemical appointments mean it is not a casual walk-in salon, and popular stylists can be booked out.
Why Chez Vous made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It offers the strongest all-round mix of reputation, senior stylists, colour correction, treatment innovation and client confidence, especially for high-stakes colour or damaged hair.
Chez Vous is one of Singapore's most established premium hair salon groups, with its flagship, Private Space and HideAway concepts all located at Ngee Ann City. The flagship operates with an only-directors model and publishes detailed stylist strengths across cuts, balayage, highlights, perms, smoothing and colour correction. Its menu and editorial presence lean heavily into treatment-led chemical services, including hair fillers, lamination, anti-frizz smoothing and damage repair. The salon is especially visible among clients looking for reliable consultation, Caucasian highlights, complex colour work and post-damage recovery rather than a basic wash-and-cut experience.

Shunji Matsuo
88/100
Japanese salon brand respected for precision cuts, soft straightening and healthier colour options.

“Best for Japanese precision and smoothing.” - our editors
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Shunji Matsuo is best for clients who want structure, polish and long-wearing shape rather than a trendy one-off look. The flagship is particularly strong for Japanese soft straightening, clean grey coverage, natural colour and haircuts that grow out neatly. Reviews tend to highlight thoughtful consultations, cost transparency and stylists who explain what is realistic before starting. The trade-off is that the menu is broad and tiered, so prices can move quickly once colour, treatment and senior stylist levels are added.
Why Shunji Matsuo made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It has rare longevity in Singapore, strong Japanese technical credibility and a particularly good fit for clients managing frizz, grey coverage or shape in humid weather.
Shunji Matsuo is a long-running Japanese hair salon brand in Singapore with outlets at 15 Scotts, ION Orchard and Holland Village. Its positioning is built around Japanese cutting discipline, structured shape, soft straightening and hair health. The salon lists a broad product mix including Oribe, Shiseido Professional, L'Oreal Professionnel, Goldwell, Lebel, Kevin Murphy and K18, which supports both luxury styling and repair-focused chemical work. Services include women's and men's cuts, one-tone colour, henna, highlights, digital perms, soft rebonding, keratin treatment, scalp treatment and head spa.

Art-Noise Singapore

Holland Village Japanese salon known for careful consultations, treatments and climate-aware styling.

“Best boutique Japanese specialist.” - our editors
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Art-Noise is a strong choice when you want the patience and finish associated with Japanese salons without going into Orchard. The team is known for listening closely, explaining options and favouring hair condition over dramatic but risky transformations. It is particularly useful for soft, manageable styles, treatments, rebonding and subtle colour. The honest limitation is capacity. With a smaller team and one Singapore outlet, appointment slots can be tight, and clients wanting ultra-fast service may find the process more measured.
Why Art-Noise Singapore made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It ranks highly for specialist Japanese technique, strong treatment focus and a consistent reputation among clients who prioritise consultation and manageable daily styling.
Art-Noise Singapore is the Holland Village outlet of a Japanese salon group that originated in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The Singapore salon opened in 2014 and positions itself around Japanese stylists, careful consultation and services adapted to local humidity and common Singapore hair concerns such as frizz, oilier scalps and lack of volume. Its site highlights haircuts, colour, balayage, rebonding, S-AQUA, head spa and in-house shampoo and treatment development. It is a compact specialist salon rather than a large chain, which gives the experience a more focused, appointment-led feel.

Kimage
86/100
Established Singapore salon chain offering cuts, colour, perms, keratin and scalp treatments.
Marina Square #02-319, 6 Raffles Boulevard, Singapore 039594
+65 6883 2700 enquiry@kimage.com.sg kimage.com.sg
$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Kimage is the dependable middle ground in this list. It may not have the boutique cachet of the top Japanese salons, but it wins on accessibility, breadth and a recognisable training culture. For routine cuts, colour refreshes, keratin treatments and scalp care, it is easy to book and easier to reach than many single-outlet salons. The trade-off is stylist variation. Because it is a larger chain with different seniority levels, the best results come from choosing a specific stylist rather than booking blindly.
Why Kimage made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It deserves a high rank for nationwide convenience, long operating history, clear service range and solid value for clients who need reliable maintenance hair care.
Kimage is a homegrown Singapore salon chain established in 1994, with eight outlets across the island and a head office and school at Marina Square. It covers the mainstream services most clients need: senior and junior stylist haircuts, keratin treatment, scalp treatment, colour treatments and hair perms. The brand also operates with a training structure, which helps explain its accessibility and consistency across mall locations. Client comments on its site point to attentive stylists, clean interiors, practical recommendations and good-value treatments, especially at neighbourhood and city-fringe outlets.

Walking On Sunshine

Orchard Korean-style salon and cafe known for colour, perms, treatments and a lush interior.
181 Orchard Road, Orchard Central, #03-07, Singapore 238896
+65 8053 8808 walkingonsunshine.sg
$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Walking On Sunshine is one of the more experience-driven salons in Singapore, and that matters when a colour or perm appointment takes several hours. The space feels designed for clients who want a full afternoon of hair, head spa and cafe comfort rather than a purely functional cut. Reviews often praise the ambience and friendly service, with named stylists getting repeat mentions. The trade-off is that the cafe-salon concept can feel busy, and the overall experience may matter more here than quiet, clinical precision.
Why Walking On Sunshine made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It combines strong public visibility, Korean-influenced services, convenient Orchard access and a treatment-heavy menu suited to clients planning longer transformation appointments.
Walking On Sunshine is an Orchard Central salon with a Korean beauty positioning, cafe setting and broad service menu. Its salon services cover cuts, colour bundles, perm bundles, Cinderella treatment, Korean head spa, makeup and personal colour analysis. The official site lists major product lines such as Shiseido, Kerastase, Tokio Inkarami, Milbon, OWAY and Kevin Murphy, and displays a large volume of public reviews. It is known as much for its greenery-filled, lifestyle-led space as for its hair services, making it especially appealing for longer colour, perm or treatment appointments.

Picasso Hair Studio
84/100
Reputable Singapore salon known for face-shape consultations, perms, colouring and treatments.
picassohairstudio.com.sg
$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Picasso is popular because it makes the design process feel structured. The salon is known for mapping a client's face shape and hair behaviour before recommending a cut, colour or perm, which helps clients who are unsure what suits them. It is especially relevant for soft perms, volume work and colour that needs to flatter rather than shock. The trade-off is that this consultative approach can feel lengthy, and a full makeover may cost more than clients expect once treatment support is included.
Why Picasso Hair Studio made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It earns its place for strong name recognition, a clear consultation-led approach and a track record with perms, colouring and wearable transformations.
Picasso Hair Studio is a well-known Singapore salon name for clients who want more than a quick trim. Its reputation is built around consultation-led hair design, with a focus on matching cuts, colour and perms to face shape, lifestyle and hair condition. The salon is frequently discussed for Korean-style perms, creative colour, balayage, scalp care and repair treatments. It is a good fit for clients who want guidance before committing to a major change, especially if they need help translating inspiration photos into something wearable for daily life in Singapore.

$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Trimmings is one of the stronger choices for blondes, highlights and clients who want a salon visit to feel calm rather than rushed. The published menu is a major plus because it gives realistic expectations before booking, particularly for balayage, tinting and smoothing. The Dempsey outlet also works well for clients who value parking and a quieter environment. The trade-off is that it is not the cheapest option, and Dempsey is less convenient if you rely on MRT access.
Why Trimmings Salon & Spa made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It stands out for transparent pricing, strong blonding and treatment menus, and a polished salon-spa format that suits longer colour and smoothing appointments.
Trimmings Salon & Spa has outlets at Dempsey Hill and Orchard, with a long-running appeal among local and expat clients. Its Dempsey menu is unusually transparent, listing detailed pricing for cuts, full tint, root tint, glossing, balayage, creative highlights, colour correction, NanoSmooth smoothing, rebonding, digital perms, Olaplex, K18, Aveda, Advante and scalp treatments. Founder Amanda is described as London-trained, and the salon's tone is polished but approachable. It is especially relevant for clients who want blonding, colour upkeep, spa-style scalp care and a calmer setting outside the busiest malls.

Hair Studio Flamingo

Japanese salon for manageable cuts, colour, perms and smoothing suited to Singapore humidity.

$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Flamingo is best for people who want their hair to behave on normal weekdays, not just in the salon mirror. The Japanese approach shows in the focus on maintenance, face shape and hair texture, with services covering colour, straightening, perms and treatments. It is also useful for clients living or working around Tanjong Pagar and Tiong Bahru. The trade-off is that it is quieter and more niche than the big Orchard names, so clients seeking a dramatic luxury-salon experience may prefer elsewhere.
Why Hair Studio Flamingo made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It is selected for practical Japanese styling, clear central locations and a strong emphasis on hair that stays manageable in Singapore's climate.
Hair Studio Flamingo is a Japanese hair and eyelash studio with hair outlets at Tanjong Pagar and Tiong Bahru. The salon's concept is practical: easy, maintainable hairstyles that work in Singapore's hot and humid climate. Its menu lists cuts, treatments, colour, perms and straightening, with prices published for core services. The team emphasises face shape, hair quality and at-home reproducibility, which makes it attractive for clients who want their salon finish to last beyond the first wash. The Tanjong Pagar outlet is the main reference point for central appointments.

Korean salon chain offering trend-led cuts, colour and treatments across several malls.
1 Kim Seng Promenade, #02-109, Singapore 237994
+65 6235 1629 apgujeonghair.com
$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Apgujeong is a practical pick for Korean-inspired hair without needing to hunt for a single boutique stylist. Its biggest advantage is access: the outlets cover east, west, central and city-fringe malls, and opening hours are friendly for after-work bookings. The salon works well for soft layers, colour refreshes and trend-led styling. The trade-off is consistency across outlets. As with any chain, the result depends heavily on stylist match, so it is worth checking portfolios or requesting a senior stylist for bigger changes.
Why Apgujeong Hair Studio made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It makes the list for Korean styling expertise, broad mall coverage and a long-standing public profile across media, events and everyday salon services.
Apgujeong Hair Studio is a Korean hair salon chain in Singapore with outlets at Tampines 1, VivoCity, Clementi Mall, Novena Square 2 and Great World. The brand positions itself around Korean hair services, trend-led cuts and colour transformations, supported by haircare brands such as MUCOTA and Kerastase. Its site also records past media and event work, including fashion, pageant and television features. With multiple mall locations and daily opening hours, it is one of the more accessible choices for clients who want Korean-style cuts, colour, waves or regular maintenance outside Orchard.

THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Jean Yip is the most mainstream name in this ranking, and that is both its strength and limitation. It is easy to find, service menus are broad, and the brand has enough scale to support regular colour, rebonding, perming and treatment needs across Singapore. It is a sensible choice for maintenance and convenience. The trade-off is that it does not feel as specialist as the top boutique salons, and experiences can vary by outlet and stylist level. For major changes, book carefully and ask for a senior stylist.

The group lists hairdressing, hair colouring, perming, rebonding, keratin treatment and other hair treatments among its services, supported by a large team and many convenient locations. Its scale makes it suitable for clients who want easy appointment access, familiar service categories and ongoing promotions rather than a small boutique format. The head office is at Kaki Bukit, while hairdressing services are delivered through its retail salon network.

Hair Salons in Singapore - your questions

How often should I visit a hair salon in Singapore?

For shape maintenance, most clients book a trim every 6 to 10 weeks. Colour touch-ups usually run every 6 to 8 weeks, while balayage or low-maintenance colour can stretch longer with toners and home care.

What should I ask before booking a colour service?

Ask whether a consultation is included, if bleaching is needed, how many sessions are realistic, what treatment support is recommended, and whether the quoted price includes toner, wash, blow-dry and GST.

Are Japanese and Korean salons better for Asian hair?

Not automatically, but many Japanese and Korean salons in Singapore are experienced with thick, straight, resistant or humidity-prone Asian hair. The individual stylist's consultation and chemical-control skills matter more than the salon label.

How do I avoid over-processing my hair?

Be upfront about past colouring, rebonding, perms and home dye. A good salon should assess hair condition first, manage expectations, recommend bond-repair or smoothing options where needed, and decline risky same-day transformations.
