8 Hair Salons in Singapore for A Post-Lockdown Refresh

With the easing of restrictions and beauty salons re-opening, it’s time to treat yourself and get a refresh. Whether you want to treat your scalp, a refreshing blow-out, or just plainly need a haircut, make a quick trip to any of these salons for a fix.

Number76

Number76 is well-known for its aesthetic and Instagram-worthy setup. Opened by Japanese hairstylist Daisuke Hamaguchi, Number76 exudes Japanese minimalism, from the salon’s airy space with its floor-to-ceiling windows to its oak vanities and furnishings. And for a boutique salon, the prices here are pretty reasonable. Haircuts start at SGD56 while a simple hair colour touch-up begins at SGD82.

BEAUBIT’s Recommendation: Ultrasonic Premium, starts from SGD118.

Salon Vim

Established in 2009 by industry veterans Gary Chew, John Tham and Sue Liew, Salon Vim is arguably one of the more recognisable names on this list.

While it’s great to come prepared with reference pictures, let the stylists take the lead. Salon Vim is known for its innovative services like hair contouring (which starts from SGD280), which includes a contouring haircut, colour and highlights for a style and shade best suited to you. Other hair services like basic colouring start from SGD105 and a stylist’s cut ranges from SGD40 to SGD80.

BEAUBIT’s Recommendation: Wonder Curls Anti-Frizz Permanent Waves, starts from SGD368.

Mi The Salon

Deemed as the first ammonia-free hair salon in Singapore, the lifestyle concept salon extends beyond the usual haircut. Whether you’re looking for a perm, a fresh colour or a blowout, simply book an appointment with the team of hair pros who will let you walk out with your dream hairdo. The salon also offers other services such as nail care and beauty makeovers for a complete transformation.

BEAUBIT’s Recommendation: Korean Gloss Anti-Frizz Treatment, starts from SGD280.

SV Style House

The most recent addition to Salon Vim and Mi The Salon is SV Style House. Their sophisticated haircare techniques, coupled with their customised services and consultation, will ensure that your every hair need is well taken care of.

BEAUBIT’s Recommendation: Air Touch Hair Colour, starts from SGD198.

Prep Luxe

Prep Luxe first opened its doors as the first blowouts-only bar in Singapore. Today, it has evolved to Prep Luxe, a full-service salon offering blowouts, cuts, colour and hair treatments.

BEAUBIT’s Recommendation: Geisha Luxe Blowout, SGD95

Blow + Bar

Blow + Bar is the perfect spot to drop by for a ladies’ night out, with blowouts, manicures, and bubbles to boot. Plus, their CBD outlet offers quick wash-and-blow services to get your hair primped and ready in 30 minutes flat.

BEAUBIT’s Recommendation: Brazilian Blowout, starts from SGD200.

Chez Vous

Having been around for two decades, veteran salon Chez Vous is one of the frontrunners in the local scene, thanks to the beauty directors who have at least 12 years of experience under their belts. Their Cleanse and Blow service is one to try if you’re short on time but still want to look fresh.

BEAUBIT’s Recommendation: Cleanse and Blow, starts from SGD42.

COVO

Equipped with a team of experienced Japanese hairstylists, COVO is the one place where you know your hair will be in good hands. And the best part? The salon uses carbonated spring water to clean your hair as it is said to remove dirt and grime more effectively. The stylists are also experts in hair colouring techniques and digital perm, making this an ideal one-stop solution for all your hair needs.

BEAUBIT’s Recommendation: Cut + Argan Oil Color, starts from SGD180.
