Chez Vous: Private Space– A Relaxing “Business Class” Hair Colour Salon
A “business class” hair salon for the discerning, Chez Vous: Private Space is something of a cross between spa and salon: a getaway destination for the extra-busy to kick back and be pampered by skilled professionals who’ll tend to your hair. With ten impeccably designed private suites and four semi-enclosed “couple cabins” to choose from, you’ll breathe a sigh of relief the next time you wake up to a bad hair day.
The salon offers a unique treatment for soft-focus, muted colour without bleaching: the Non-Bleach Water Mist Dye technique uses grey pigments, Japanese hair colours, and special diluters to create softer, watercolour-like looks. The process occurs in two steps: first, a light brown dye is applied to the hair, then a customised mix of hair colour, colour mixers, and grey pigment to reduce warmth and produce a natural finish. The resulting shades, including stylist-perfected options like Mint Ash Brown and Smokey Black Tea, are both elegant and require minimal maintenance. Do note that the treatment is most suited to fine to medium hair and hair that has not been previously repeatedly treated with dye, box dye or henna in black, dark brown or red– there may be too many red or artificially dark tones in previously dyed hair to colour without bleach.
Chez Vous: Private Space is located at 391B Orchard Rd, Tower B 08-01 Ngee Ann City, Singapore 238874. Make reservations by calling (+65) 62350345, or sign up here.
Hera Hair Beauty– Highlight and Balayage Experts
The international team of stylists behind Hera Hair Beauty, founded in 2012, name themselves specialists in Expert Colour and Bespoke Styling, and have vast experience in working with different hair types and styles. The team are particular experts in balayage techniques: working with their clients to achieve personalised looks, Hera Hair Beauty prides itself on complex, hand-painted-looking highlights that add gentle dimensionality to the hair.
The No-Bleach Balayage technique is a gentler alternative to the typical balayage, and is suited to those who want a sun-kissed look without potential bleach damage. Starting from the mid-lengths, lighter shades are hand-painted onto the hair to create a seamless gradient between lighter and darker shades. The main activator in the process is ammonia, which works to lift the natural colour off the hair while depositing a new colour. Most suited to dark hair and untreated hair, a No-Bleach Balayage can last anywhere from six to twelve months, making it the perfect choice for a natural, effortless look.
For more creativity and to protect your balayage against the grow-out period, spring for the Air Touch Balayage: this innovative method replaces the regular backcombing technique with one that uses air to separate longer and shorter strands of hair, pushing the internal layers out of the way. Another draw of this technique is how customisable it is: from curly to straight hair, treated or untreated, whether you want the results to be natural or dramatic– the Air Touch Balayage process can be adapted to suit your needs.
Hera Hair Beauty has two locations: 163 Tanglin Road, #03-125-126, Tanglin Mall, Singapore 247933; or 31 Ocean Way, #01-20, Quayside Isle, Singapore 098375. Snag a spot here or call (+65) 62688949 (for Sentosa Cove) or (+65) 67321206 (for Tanglin Mall).

Number76 Salon– Tokyo-Born Creative Hair Studio With Unique Treatments
Straight from the stylish streets of Tokyo, Number76 Salon, by Japanese hair stylist Daisuke Hamaguchi, first found itself as “HairStyleShop NALU” in Omotesando, between the fashion-forward Harajuku and sleek Aoyama. Today, the salon has expanded worldwide, first to Malaysia and now to Singapore. Founded as a “style shop”, where customers can change between hair styles the way they change between fashion styles, Number76 promises to be on the forefront of every trend while celebrating individuality and distinctive style.
Of course, you can count on the top hair stylists in Tokyo for all your vibrant colour needs– from flashy neon colours to sweet ashy-grey shades. However, Number76 is also famed for its post-colour hair treatment packages, which are a must-try for leaving your newly coloured hair bouncy, silky and photograph-ready. The Global Milbon Colour Preserve Treatment offered at the salon is an intensive, 45-60 minute program that maintains the freshly dyed appearance of hair colour and minimises the fading caused by daily shampooing. Enriched with calendula extract, a natural humectant, it provides moisture and shine to dyed hair, which may otherwise be brittle from treatment.
If you’d like to give your hair a treat after extensive chemical treatment, opt for the Signature Ultrasonic Iron– a device that looks exactly like a hair straightener, but cold and vibrating at 37000 beats per second. This boosts treatment penetration deep into damaged hair, and you’ll get to take home complimentary treatment packages after for sustained results.
Number76 Salon is located at #02-23 Orchardgateway, 277 Orchard Rd, Singapore 238858. Book an appointment here, or call (+65) 6385 7576/6776.
Expat Hair Studio– Blonde Hair Colour and Highlight Experts
The Expat Hair Studio has been a mainstay of the cosy yet culturally vibrant Joo Chiat neighbourhood since 2014, and is a testament to the diversity and warmth of Singapore’s expatriate community. Owner and director Kat, who hails from Scotland and has been travelling the world and hairdressing since she was a teenager, has a wealth of experience and inspiration from around the world under her belt– and is also a Global Ambassador for the Wella Colour Team in Singapore. With a team of internationally-trained stylists, the Expat Hair Studio delivers an experience that goes beyond a simple hair styling.
The salon specialises in a service that’s rarely found in Singapore– blonde highlights. Depending on your mood and preference, a range of styles are available: the “baby light” technique for a seamless blend, highlights with a root stretch so regrowth is less obvious, teasy highlights while keeping the root area natural, all-over bleaching for a full head of dramatic blonde hair, and many other options. Even more exciting is the range of blonde colours that cover every nuance known to the human eye: from romantic blush blonde to beachy sandy blonde to creamy vanilla blonde, your stylist will help you choose your personal best colour.
Also available at the Expat Hair Studio, the ammonia-free Semi-Permanent Colour treatment (though more suited to dark hair colours) blends away the first signs of grey hair and leaves it with a glossy finish.
The Expat Hair Studio is located at 422 Joo Chiat Road, Singapore 427642. Call (+65) 64447929 or send a text on Whatsapp to (+65) 80286588 to book an appointment.
Salon Vim– Effortless Hair Colours Tailored to Your Features

This celebrated spot is lauded by influencers and regular people alike because its signature hair colouring treatment is surprisingly adaptable– what the salon terms the “French brown” shade.
This unique colour, which can fall anywhere from mushroom brown to golden chestnut to almost russet, is picked from the colour scale and tailored exclusively to your features and preferences by Salon Vim’s stylists. This colour requires minimal maintenance or retouching, covers grey hairs, is acceptable even in conservative work environments, and can be dressed up and down like a red lip on the most effortless French girls. Your shade is painted on with an ammonia-free, oil-based colour, which is odourless, less irritating to a sensitive scalp, and even pregnancy-safe.
