Sam
Founder of Mode Studio

Overview

We fell head over heels with Mode Studio, the first time we visited the salon.

It wasn't the fancy decor with the LV vibe, the plush sofa, sparkling marble floors or full-length glass windows that stole our hearts. It wasn't even the well-stocked wine and champagne bar either, though we must admit it was quite a draw.

What really caught our attention was their star-studded team of stylists from Sam Woo to Gabriel, Andrew, Anneth, Veena and even top Korean Stylists Soobin, Vicky and BK. If you haven't heard of Sam yet, you're missing out!

Sam is the founder of MODE and the celebrity stylist who has previously worked closely with Kim Robinson in both Hong Kong and Singapore. ALL customers who gave him a try rave about his awesome service as well as his ability to deliver a versatile dry cut that is flowy and naturally elegant. But he's not the only illustrious one.

Gabriel, too, is another high-profile Singaporean stylist who counts Bryan Wong as well as a number of celebrities, businesspeople featured in Forbes 40 under 40 and local politicians as his regular paying customers. And we haven't even talked about BK, the Korean stylist Jay Park comes to Singapore for.

And the best part is? They're all SUPER NICE, not only to customers but also among themselves. You know the unspoken tension you sometimes feel when you enter certain salons? You get NONE of that here.

Instead, there is such a strong camaraderie among stylists that you'll see other stylists proactively greeting you and helping you with blowdrying and other peripheral services when they are available. This is all thanks to Sam who brings the team together with a simple mission "Make Every Customer Feel Welcome". He does so not by offering monetary incentives but by modelling how customers should be treated. When he sees customers, he will greet them by name and offer them a drink. When there is trash on the floor, he will proactively pick it up. When a stylist needs help, he'll be there even before they ask for it.

Honestly though, there are SO MANY talented stylists here at MODE that we don't know who to start raving about.

It is this spirit of giving that is emulated by the entire MODE team, making the service here stand out. You will feel like a million bucks not just because your hair looks amazing but also because your stylist genuinely cares about you and makes you feel valued.

Given the top quality stylists, luxurious decor and awesome service, we expected the prices to be through the roof.

Fortunately, that is not the case with their first-timer promotions.

We assure you that you won't be able to get the same quality of hair service ANYWHERE else in Singapore at that price so don't let go of this chance to try before the deals are gone!

Looking for a good hair cut experience? Consider Irene from Mode

Review for Irene

Always satisfied with the hair cut by Irene! She is very patient and she knows exactly what looks good on me, particularly where I have natural curl and not easy to maintain. Highly recommend Irene if you are looking for a good hair stylist!

Irene Leong

Review for Irene

My husband has been going to her for hair cuts for more than 10years. He went to other hair salon to try but can't find any stylist that can cut to his liking. Irene remember his hair cuts very well all he had to do was sit down and Irene knows well what hair cut he wants. He intro me to Irene back in 2019 and never turn back. She is very professional and always have the heart to take care of my hair and always advising me what the Do and Don't to my hair. I have also introduce my other family members to her and they are happy with her skills . Because of Irene, I decided to take the MODE Studio package. Thanks Irene <3

Best hair stylist. Superb Salon.

Review for Irene

Stylist: Irene Leong. I first visited Irene back in 2010 and have been going to her once a month ever since. It's been 10 years of trusting her completely. She is super talented, hard working and extremely meticulous. She keeps in mind the health of the hair while suggesting colour, cut and chemical treatments. She is friendly. warm and super fun to talk to. I always look forward to my salon visits. She is not only my stylist but also a wonderful friend. Salon: Mode Studio. Love this place. Everyone greets you and makes sure you are comfortable. Coupled with a positive and serene atmosphere along with the best hair services. Recommended this place a hundred percent.

Awesome customers experience and skilled hairstylists

Review for Irene

The ambience is chill yet classy. I observed that the hairstylists are very engaging with their customers, listen to their requirements, and provide solutions and ensure it still meets their customers expectations. They are experience with managing haircuts for babies and kids, ensuring their safety and still come out with beautiful haircuts. Consistent customers experience with new age methods, and different customers landscape. Have been with Irene for more than a decade... Awesome skills to style my hair for different occassions and ease of maintenance for daily purposes.

Always a pleasant experience with Preston

The view at Mode Studio is impeccable and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming! Came for a hair cut this time and Preston is the only hair stylist that I’ve really stuck with over the years because he really never disappoints, regardless the service!

Fantastic experience

Review for Roy

Took the $99 special package - got a haircut by Roy, full head colour and Milbon treatment. Exceeded my expectations! The highlight was Roy’s fantastic haircut and tips on haircare and Gwen’s Service. Only downside was the hair colourist (can’t remember his name - he was from Hong Kong) was (I) too salesy and kept talking about the package, and (ii) didn’t give great advice on the colour. Loved it so much that I took a mini package for haircut with Roy. Will be back soon!

A good experience overall but could been better

Tried the $99 Valentine promo package which was to include a cut, whole head colour change balayage and hair treatment. Was very pleased with the pre-cut consultation and cut itself, as the stylist took the time to explain his thought process and what he envisioned of the cut. The pre-colour consultation on the other hand was somewhat disappointing as the colourist was basically refused to do any highlights for me as he claimed that my base colour was too uneven and had to be corrected first. He further repeatedly emphasised that this package was basically a loss-making deal for them and they were only doing it to attract new customers. I’m not sure if he would have gone ahead with the highlights if I had insisted, but I left the decision to him as he was the expert. The base colour change turned out well and I appreciate that he took the effort to colour the root section darker to make regrowth less obvious. On hindsight however, I’m wondering if it was really not possible to do the base colour change and highlights in one session as I was entitled to both per the terms of the package.

Exceeded all my expectations!

My teenage daughter just finished her exams and begged me to bring her along for a haircut before our vacation. I came across Mode Studio on BU so decided to give it a try. Best salon decision thus far! The stylists Beck and Andrew were unfailingly attentive throughout and the entire salon looked so posh and beautiful. No selling whatsoever. My daughter would especially like to commend Beck as he took the effort to listen to her opinions and customize the cut for her. He also styled it at the end and she absolutely loved it. 

It is our first experience here but it won't be the last. Will be bringing my son here again soon!
