Expat Hair Studio for blonde highlights and a good haircut in Joo Chiat
Expat Hair is a little sanctuary situated along the vibey Joo Chiat shopping enclave. My hair stylist Alex was a total professional. He took little time to understand the colour and style I was hoping for – light and fresh, ashy with a bit of warmth, and well blended for a natural look. I liked that he lifted the roots up to achieve a close-to-the-scalp colour (hello, longevity!) and took his time with finely weaved highlights.
The whole experience was very relaxing and pampering, which is exactly what I look for in a hair salon in Singapore. A delicious cappuccino and biscuit only made me feel more welcome.
Alex spritzed my hair with K18 to protect the hair shafts prior to dyeing, applied a Goldwell toner, and an Olaplex post-treatment to finish. After that he worked his magic with a great long bob haircut with framing around the face, followed by a blowout. I bounced out of the salon feeling refreshed and a whole new me! I would 100 percent recommend these hairdressers to my friends. It’s a gem of a salon where your tresses are in safe hands.

Chez Vous Hair Salon (Flagship) for a colour refresh
Blonde hair in Singapore’s humidity is hard. Between heat, always being in the water, sun and brassiness, keeping it looking fresh seriously feels like a full-time job! I recently visited the flagship Chez Vous Hair Salon, which specialises in softer “lived-in” blondes and dimensional colour work, for a colour refresh and consultation. After settling in, I was handed a menu of teas, drinks and little treats which made the whole experience feel very relaxing from the beginning.
I needed to break up those bright blocky blonde ends, and during the consultation the team talked through colour placement, tone and maintenance. We discussed creating a softer blonde with natural depth from the roots through the ends.
My hair stylist focused on fine baby highlights and blended dimension for a more natural, wearable result. One thing I appreciated about this hair salon in Singapore was how accommodating their hairdressers were throughout the process. Hair colour is such a personal thing, and they were very open to feedback and happy to make adjustments to highlight framing around my face.
The standout for me though was the treatment itself. They finished with a luxurious moisture-locking treatment designed to seal in colour while deeply hydrating my hair. My hair honestly felt like silk afterwards and stayed softer, smoother and shinier for the following week – so divine! Exactly what any blonde desperately needs!

Hairdreams Couture Salon in Singapore for lush blonde hair extensions
I have thin, fine hair that has become virtually non-existent at the sides. So, in recent years, I’ve become a big fan of hair extensions to help thicken my tresses. Having tried most on the market, I was excited to head to the popular Hairdreams for a consultation. These hairdressers in Singapore offer an amazing array of options to cater to any hair type. So it wasn’t difficult to find exactly what I needed. My hair type was carefully considered, as well as the weight of the extensions, to ensure that my hair would not break during the process.
Since I wanted volume from the top, the team decided that the Secrets tapes were the best option. These tapes, made of 100 percent human hair, create a 3D effect, making them virtually invisible when placed higher up, giving the illusion of being my real hair. This made them a perfect choice for thin hair on top. We picked a colour that matched perfectly to my hair and highlights, and the transformation began.
These hair stylists are experts in the application process, which takes around an hour. A small sticky tape is placed underneath a strip of hair, and then the tape is placed on top. I don’t even feel them; they are so light. Just a few Secrets tapes around the top can make thin, lifeless hair thick and voluminous. Not to mention, their experts can advise during the consultation exactly what’s needed. Reapplication of the tapes is necessary every six to eight weeks, depending on how fast the hair grows. I’m converted!

Chez Vous: Private Space for the Nanoplasty straightening treatment
Stepping into Chez Vous: Private Space in the heart of Orchard Road, it was evident that this wasn’t just another hair salon in Singapore, but an experience meticulously crafted for pure indulgence.
The magic began even before my hair met any product. Brand director Eugene warmly greeted me and personally introduced Chez Vous’ three outlets. He then explained that their Nanoplasty treatment is designed to be less harsh and deliver a more natural, enviable shine compared to other, often artificial-looking straightening treatments. My hair, and my spirit, breathed a collective sigh of relief.
The ambience itself was a masterclass in comfort. The private space felt like my own personal sanctuary, radiating a distinct “business class” vibe. I was offered a selection of essential oils for a diffuser – a small touch, but significant – a yuzu welcome drink, high tea cakes, and even entertainment via a tablet loaded with a media library, Netflix, stress-relief videos and games.
Then came the transformation, orchestrated by the dream team: incredibly skilled hair stylist Terence and attentive technicians Sally and Li Ying. One of the highlights was the hair wash. No awkward shuffling or getting up from my plush seat! With a seamless recline, my chair transformed, bringing the basin to me. It was pure genius. By the time they had worked their magic, my hair felt incredibly soft and looked impossibly sleek, with a natural bounce that screamed “healthy” not “treated”.
Honestly, this wasn’t just a salon visit; it was a therapeutic escape. I left utterly rejuvenated, feeling as if I’d just spent a day at a luxury spa. My hair looked fantastic, but more importantly, my soul felt restored. Kudos to these hairdressers in Singapore for creating such a haven!

The Blonde Tourage salon in Singapore for beautiful hair colour
I absolutely loved my experience at The Blonde Tourage on Club Street. From the moment you walk in, the chic pink interiors set the tone – stylish, welcoming and instantly uplifting.
Norwegian owner Cat truly knows everything there is to know about hair. Her understanding of tone, texture, colour and how it complements your complexion is exceptional. You immediately feel you’re in expert hands.
It was clear that these hairdressers also genuinely understands Caucasian hair and colour, which is something that can be surprisingly hard to find in Singapore. You can immediately see it’s a favourite among European and Latino expats who trust Cat and her team. My hair stylist Alvin and the support team elevate the entire experience with warmth, professionalism and incredible attention to detail.
My colour turned out beautiful, natural and perfectly balanced, and the luxurious treatment left my hair feeling incredibly soft, glossy and healthy. The expert sweeping blow-dry truly felt like a red carpet moment before a dinner date. The result was polished, glamorous and the perfect finish.
For a genuinely premium salon experience, you won’t be disappointed with a visit to The Blonde Tourage. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for expert hair stylists and colour specialists in Singapore. Five stars!
