“We built No. 8 Hair Studio to be a refuge you can retreat into, a sanctuary where you can relax, indulge, enjoy and look amazing after a tough day or week at work or school.”
Have you been trying to find Jimmy and Kent Chung, popular hairstylists previously from a top hair salon chain in Jurong?
After much searching, we FINALLY found them in the new hair salon: No.8 hair studio at Vision Exchange.
It's not an easy place to find; although just 6 minutes away from Jurong East MRT.
Be persistent and you'll be rewarded with a refreshing salon experience uncommon in the West of Singapore: a high-quality Director level hair service at pocket-friendly prices.
We felt ourselves relax, the moment we enter the salon. Not sure if its the warm homely feel or just the abundant space, this is the perfect place to unwind after a tough day at work.
Those who've tried Jimmy and Kent before will know that all of them are conversational though not super chatty. Hence, you won't get the "auntie feel" present in neighbourhood salons when stylists gossip among themselves or talk really loudly. Instead, No. 8 Hair Studio give us the vibes of a Japanese hair salon where the service is done in serenity, except that the stylists here are local.
As pretty as the salon is, we're ultimately here for their stylists. Kent is especially good with daring hair colour works where he mixes and matches unique colour combinations and blends even the most challenging of colours beautifully! Even if you are not keen to bleach your hair, he can still insert various colours to make your usual brown pop.
Jimmy, on the other hand, is fantastic with face-contouring haircuts that highlight your best and bring out the personality you are looking for. His haircuts feature clean, neat lines and are best suited for working professionals looking to impress. Teachers also love how he can make them look stylish and authoritative at the same time!
They are however not the only talents you should look out for. Shim and Wendy have also accumulated a strong following for their perms and colours respectively. Thanks to the strong guidance of Jimmy and Kent, all stylists here are able to achieve an effortlessly chic vibe in all their hair designs.
Maybe because the stylists are not so talkative, they listen a lot more and are better able to grasp customers needs and deliver what they want. When you request for them to trim just a little, they will actually do what you say instead of doing what they think is right. Of course, it also helps that all of them are very good-looking so the time at the salon seems to pass even faster.
We expected prices to be relatively higher given their quality of hair service, awesome ambience and attention given to each customer. However, we're glad to note that their prices are actually a shade lower than those you'd find at shopping malls in Jurong East. You'd probably find No. 8 Hair Studio a steal for the service and the beautiful hair outcome.
Overall, a gem of a hair salon you MUST TRY in Jurong!
Loves
- Skilled Hairstylists popular with customers in the West
- Spacious salon that makes us feel comfortable the moment we enter
- Pricing rather value-for-money for their quality (although not the cheapest)
- Located 6 minutes walk from Jurong East MRT
- Parking relatively easy to find
- Sleek and cool salon decor
Not-So-Happy-With
- Advance appointment needed as the stylists can be quite busy at times!
- Directors & stylists may work on more than 1 customer at a time so do expect some waiting time during peak periods.
Excellent cut
Having returned from overseas for a short trip, I've gone for a cut with a master director and it was worth it. It's important to note that the director was more at ease communicating in chinese which was not at all an issue as I'm fluent in chinese. His expertise was clear, he was able to provide advice for my request of a low maintenance hairstyle and tips on how to manage my natural waviness of hair, even taking into account that I'll be returning overseas and therefore friziness of hair wouldn't be as much of an issue (thereby not requiring as much layering of hair). There was also no hard sell - it was suggested for me to have treatment on my hair but I only had limited time and this was not pushed on me which I appreciated. I would highly recommend! Very pleased with my haircut and service received. (Review not yet verified)

Great place to get great hair :)
I used to salon hop until I met Shim at no.8 few years back. Have gotten compliments on how my hair has improved over the years! Shim does an excellent job no matter if it’s a haircut, head massage, perm or choosing a hair colour that suits you. Will be back! (Review not yet verified)

Best experience with it
Been going to Jimmy for a while (a few years now) for hair cuts, treatment and rebonding. Always received praises on the new cut after each visit and had since recommended my mother and my sister. I love how they’re not pushy, and really accommodating to your needs and requests. (Review not yet verified)

Precise & delivered what was requested
Visited this salon because of the reviews i read & true to the reviews given, this salon delivered exactly was i asked for. I requested for Director Shim to do a haircut for me, & i asked for a layered cut that would not shorten my hair by a lot. He delivered whatever i requested & even gave tips on how to style the hair. I’m satisfied & will definitely visit again. Just look at the picture & it will speak everything. It’s really amazing how a haircut can change up your look & this salon definitely can do that for you. (Review approved by Beauty Undercover)

Amazing hair studio to visit
Jimmy has been my stylist for 10 over years, when I'm still a student. He is always so patient, attentive and meticulous. He also always provide his professional views and advice on what hairstyle, haircut etc is suitable for me. Had always trusted his advice therefore I only go to him for my haircut over the decade.

最棒的染髮經驗
谢谢设计师Kent&No.8hair studio让我有这么好的染发经验,在染发之前Kent很有耐心地跟我讨论我想要的发型和颜色,也让我完成了心愿拥有三种最梦幻的发色(灰紫、灰、玫瑰金),之前我也曾经尝试染过这些颜色,不过瞟色出来的结果都不太理想,甚至有不好的经验,不过Kent的耐心和专业的技术,让我在一次的瞟色后,得到了很棒的成果。 Translated from Google: The best hair dyeing experience Thank you designer Kent&No.8hair studio for giving me such a good hair dyeing experience. Before dyeing my hair, Kent patiently discussed with me the hairstyle and color I want, and also granted my wish to have the three most dreamy hair colors (grayish purple, gray, rose gold), I have tried to dye these colors before, but the results were not ideal post-bleaching, and even have bad experience, but Kent's patience and professional skills allowed me to get great results on the first try.

Awesome Experience with Hairstylist Jason
Jason is a very patient and gentle Hairstylist. He's very attentive to details as I observed him trimming and adjusting every strand of hair to ensure that it's perfect. He's considerate to my needs on how I want my hair to look and provided me with professional advice on what he thinks would work on me. While he is doing his works, he also explained to me the reasons on why he did it. The salon is very cozy and comfortable. The people working inside are all very friendly. Overall I enjoyed my experience there and I would definitely be going back again :) (Review approved by Beauty Undercover)

Great hair cut by Director Shim
Recommended by a friend for No.8 Hair Studio and decided to give it a try. Everything went smoothly and the service was great! Stick to the appointment timing and I don’t even have to wait at all. Shim was very attentive and explain to me what kind of hairstyle is more suitable for me so on so forth. Though is just a first time experience but it was really impressed! Will definitely revisit again ;) ..................................................................................................................................................(Review approved by Beauty Undercover)

Good haircut and customer service
I was late for my 2pm appointment and perspiring, but Lvan (my stylist) gave me time to settle down before he proceeded to cut my hair. Though he cut it shorter, but he managed to give me the style as what I wanted! 🤓 Also, he's very sensitive towards customers needs on water temperature, head massage, and offers a disposable mask, and advice on hair products. And again, no pushy selling. My 1st nervous trip to the salon today, but I will be back again. 👍 up service fr Lvan! ..................................................................................................................................................(Review not yet verified)

Satisfied customer
This is my 4th visit to The hair studio and I have never once disappointed. Jimmy listens and takes great care to ensure the hairstyle and colour match my expectation and more importantly complements the individual personality and lifestyle. I am open to changes yet not keen on too drastic colours. Jimmy delivers! An extra star for the thoughtfulness- even offer a fleece blanket to keep me warm and comfortable! Highly recommended!

Great haircut and colour by Director Shim
Have been going to Shim for a few months. He will put his suggestions to the hairstyle I want to suit my face shape. Every cut he made is very detailed and all adds up to a light and bouncy hairstyle which I prefer (for the humid weather in SG) Went to him for colour recently, even though he told me that the colour that I requested might be harder to achieve, but with his professional experiences, he managed to get a similar result. Feels absolutely amazing to feel that my hair is well taken care by him and I am always satisfied after each visit!

My most satisfied hair cut
Shim did a hair cut / trim off my long hair during the visit. I have limp flat hair and he managed to maintain my long hair while giving it a bounce. The result surpasses my experiences in most high end salons. Will keep going back for Shim.

Superb ?
Hairstylist Kent Chung was extremely meticulous in every step, he understands his customers’ needs and remains patient even when it”S past closing hours. I thought my hair was beyond saving but he revived my destroyed mane. I will definitely be back to patronize No. 8 Hair studio!

Most meticulous hairdresser
Have been enduring with my tresses for quite a while and finally procrastinated long enough to make my first visit at No. 8 hair studio. Kent attended to me and he was really meticulous in his work. He will recommend what you should do, which is great for someone like me who don’t really know what to do. Pleased with the eventual result!
