How to Find the Right Hair Salon in Singapore (And What to Ask Before You Book)

With no shortage of hair salons in Singapore — from mall chains to hidden boutique studios — the choices can feel endless, and the stakes are high. Your hair isn't something to gamble on.

So how do you find the right salon for you, and avoid an expensive mistake along the way? Here's what the team at The Blonde Tourage thinks you should know."

Know what you want before you start searching

Before Googling 'hair salon Singapore' and clicking on the first result with good photos, take a moment to know what you're after. Colour expertise? A precision cut? Extensions? A salon that does it all beautifully?

Every salon has its own strengths. A  place loved for keratin treatments might shine less at complex balayage, and a studio known for great cuts might not be where you'd go for vivid colour.

Know what you need, and look for a salon that specialises in it.

Check the actual portfolio, not just the highlight reel

Every salon has beautiful photos on their Instagram. What you want to see is range. Do they post before-and-after content? Do they show multiple hair types and textures? Do they share their process, or just the finished result?

At The Blonde Tourage, our feed is intentionally varied (blondes, brunettes, vivid shades, extensions, cuts) because our clients don't all look the same, and our skills shouldn't either.

Read reviews with a critical eye

Five-star reviews are great. But what are people actually saying? Look for specific mentions of the colourist by name, comments about how the salon handled problems or corrections, and reviews from clients with similar hair to yours.

Generic praise tells you little. Specific feedback tells you everything.

Ask these questions before you book

A good salon will welcome your questions. Ask: Do you specialise in colour? What lightening products do you use? Do you offer a consultation before the appointment? What's your correction policy if I'm not happy?

A salon that dismisses your questions or rushes you off the phone is a salon that's not prioritising your experience.
