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 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.
