Kimage

Established Singapore salon chain offering cuts, colour, perms, keratin and scalp treatments.

Kimage

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.

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 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.
