Walking On Sunshine – Where Nature Meets Chic K-style Haircuts for Men and Women
Conveniently located at Orchard Road, Walking On Sunshine, is more than a hair salon—it is an urban oasis of K-beauty and relaxation! This award-winning hair salon, hair spa and café destination seamlessly merges the tranquillity of nature with youthful vibrance.

This all-natural ambience also sets the tone for their stylists’ approach to hair styling. A step into Walking on Sunshine means allowing nature's embrace to transform your look, in the expert hands of the salon team.
Their signature styles perfected for the Singaporean weather include the Undercut, which works great for men and women alike. This trendy haircut offers a versatile, edgy look, ideal for keeping cool and adapting to various occasions—from sporty to sophisticated. We also recommend the Japanese-inspired Hime Cut – although mostly loved by ladies, the unique cheek-level blunt chops of this haircut suit men with longer hair as well. We think this is one haircut perfect for celebrating your individuality!
For those seeking a softer appeal, the Long Layers with Curtain Bangs haircut for ladies screams contemporary chic, with expertly crafted layers that frame and flatter the face. For a softer men’s haircut, try the Textured Quiff, which incorporates a sculpted top and short sides that highlight and frame facial features.

Chez Vous - Experts for Every Haircut Style
Expanding from its flagship salon at Ngee Ann City to three distinct spaces located within the sprawling building, Chez Vous is an institution in Singapore’s hair salon scene with a reputation for trending haircuts, vibrant colour treatments and top-notch service that spans almost three decades. At their IG-worthy Chez Vous: Hideaway branch, clients will find super-premium hair treatment services in a spa-like setting. And if complete privacy is what you want, the Chez Vous: Private Space offers a comfy personal pod where you can work, have high tea, and even meditate as your hair is transformed.
We like that Chez Vous has detailed write-ups, accolades, and specialisations of all Director-level hair experts on its website. There’s even a team trained in styling Caucasian hair for local weather. Remember Taylor Swift’s struggle with untamable frizz and humidity at her Singapore concerts?
When it comes to haircuts, Chez Vous stands out for face-framing and long-hair looks. Think layers that add movement and volume, and the flexibility to style your hair straight, with C-curls or in a complete updo. For shorter styles, Chez Vous is on top of all the trends. Ask for a bob with micro bangs to look effortlessly edgy, or the latest Bixie cut for the full, head-hugging silhouette of a pixie cut combined with the versatility of a bob. If you’re looking for a modern Bixie suited to air-drying, ask for more texture rather than a blunt cut.

Karva Salon for Ladies - Muslimah and Hijab-friendly Oasis
Although Karva Salon for Ladies was started to cater to the unique haircare and hair styling needs of Muslim women in Singapore, the salon brand has also gotten its stamp of approval from ladies and kids from all walks of life across the island. We like how Karva champions a healthy scalp as the foundation of all hair aesthetics – that the root of beautiful, shiny locks lies beneath the surface of your scalp.
Clients love Karva’s haircuts that are feminine and flattering, without requiring long hours of maintenance at home. Their layered cuts stay soft and flowy even with a few months of growth, and mid-length bobs keep their structure as they extend down to your shoulders. Their children’s haircuts are also affordable and styled to show off your little one’s crowning glory! And especially for its littlest clients, the salon chain has recently launched its own line of Karva Kids hair care which includes a shampoo, conditioner and spray-on detangling lotion.
