Chez Vous: HideAway -  Singapore’s Most Advanced Hair-Caring Perm

Unveil the epitome of hair care innovation with Singapore’s most advanced hair-caring perm, the Korean Filler Perm, exclusively available at Chez Vous: HideAway. Straight from the heart of Seoul, this revolutionary service redefines traditional perming by integrating not one, but two hair treatments using five cutting-edge boosters to ensure your hair remains healthy and luscious while achieving flawless trendy curls. Fun fact: Did you know that the Korean Filler Perm is inspired by skincare techniques, making it a crossover beauty treatment?

At the core of this service are exceptional hair boosters. Biotech-developed Peptides resurrect your hair's core polypeptide chains, diligently reversing damage and delivering curls with unparalleled bounce. Reactive Amino Acids, through the magic of electrolyzed water, disrupt the hair's surface, allowing 18 different amino acids to penetrate deeply, repairing hair porosity and reducing breakage. 

Nano-sized Hyaluronic Acids provide lightweight hydration, leaving your locks airy and irresistibly soft. The Advanced Bond-repairing Concentrate, a patent-pending formula, rebuilds and protects your hair’s structure, ensuring lasting health and strength. Finally, Biomimetic Silk & Natural Oils condition the outer layer of your hair, providing feather-light shine and touchable smoothness while preventing moisture loss.

We love how Chez Vous: HideAway distinguishes itself not only through its innovative treatments but also through its dedication to personalised care. As each stylist limits their appointments to just five per day, every client is able to receive undivided attention during their session. This ensures that you will leave feeling truly pampered throughout your dedicated two-hour slot. That’s not all! The salon’s commitment to transparent pricing and a no hard-selling policy creates a relaxing environment where clients can enjoy their treatments without pressure. 

Since its establishment in 2019, Chez Vous: HideAway has maintained a stellar 4.9 rating on Google reviews, reflecting its consistent delivery of exceptional service. Awarded titles such as Best Innovative Salon Concept, Best Hair Caring Perm, and Best Perm for Airy Movement by industry-leading titles, Chez Vous: HideAway continues to lead in hair care excellence.
