# Hair Salons in Orchard

A haircut in Singapore costs from $7 at a hairdressing school and $12–18 at express chains to $40–60 at mid-range salons; colouring and rebonding usually start around $55–100 and rise with hair length. Salons need no special licence, so judge them on stylist experience and avoid big prepaid packages.

## Prices in Singapore
Starting prices from salon menus and price round-ups, 2024–2026. Long hair, senior stylists and premium products push prices well above these floors; ask whether GST is included.

| Service | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Training-school haircut (e.g. Kimage) | S$7–S$23 per cut | Done by supervised trainees |
| Express chain cut (EC House, QB House) | S$12–S$18 per cut | Cut only, no wash |
| Neighbourhood salon cut | S$15–S$38 per cut |  |
| Mid-range salon cut | S$40–S$60 per cut |  |
| Hair colouring (starting price) | S$55–S$140 per session | Length, bleach and balayage add significantly |
| Rebonding (starting price) | S$78–S$95 per session | Budget salons; long hair and premium salons cost more |
| Hair treatment | S$69–S$175 per session |  |

## How to choose
- Book by stylist, not by salon: prices and results vary with seniority, so look at the individual stylist's recent work on Instagram.
- For chemical services (rebonding, perm, bleach), ask about a strand test and tell the stylist about previous colour or rebonding; repeated chemical work on the same hair causes breakage.
- Get a written quote for long or thick hair; many menus show only the "from" price for short hair.
- Pay per visit. The Government's November 2025 reply on high-value salon packages sold to seniors confirms pressure selling is an unfair practice, but recovering money after a closure is hard.
- Bring reference photos and agree on the result before cutting.

## Red flags
- A "free scalp analysis" that turns into a pitch for an expensive treatment package.
- Stylists who quote one price at the chair and a higher one at the counter (e.g. adding long-hair or product surcharges without warning).
- Pressure on elderly family members to buy packages worth thousands of dollars.
- No written receipt or package terms.

## FAQs
### How much is a haircut in Singapore?
As of mid-2026, a men's cut at a heartland barber costs about $8–12, express chains charge $12 (EC House) to $14–18 (QB House), and neighbourhood salons charge roughly $15–38. Mid-range salons start around $40–60, with senior stylists higher. Hairdressing schools such as Kimage offer supervised trainee cuts from about $7.

### How much does rebonding cost in Singapore?
Budget salons advertise rebonding from about $78–95 for short hair, but long or thick hair, premium products and senior stylists can push the total to several hundred dollars. Always ask for a quote based on your actual hair length before the stylist starts, and confirm whether GST is included.

### Do hair salons in Singapore need a licence?
There is no specific licence for hairdressing in Singapore; salons need normal business registration and premises approvals. If a salon offers massage beyond head or scalp treatments in private rooms, it may need a Police massage establishment licence. Quality depends on the stylist, so check portfolios and reviews.

### What can I do if a salon pressured me into a package?
Exerting undue pressure on consumers is an unfair practice under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, regardless of age. Contact CASE for advice and mediation, or file a claim at the Small Claims Tribunals for up to $20,000. Keep receipts, package terms and any messages from the salon.
