Where To Find Them

Everyone should have the chance to experience great hair services and high quality hair products. That's why at AUBE, we try to keep prices low while ensuring that the service and products used are still of the highest quality!

Overview

Have you tried オーブ (AUBE)? 

If you haven't, you're sorely missing out!

Known for their good skills, high-quality hair products and state-of-the-art equipment at value-for-money prices, AUBE is one of Japan's most popular hair salon chains with more than 200 outlets worldwide. 

They aren't only in Japan though, AUBE entered Singapore with their flagship salon in Wheelock Place in 2017 and has since revolutionized Singapore's hairdressing industry with their great service and skill at affordable prices with not one but three salons in Wheelock Place, Marina Link and 321 Clementi.

And guess what, they've just opened their FOURTH outlet in the heart of Orchard in Cathay Cineleisure!

Aside from their gorgeous decor, there're lots of reasons why AUBE is one of Beauty Undercover's favourite hair salons in Singapore.

Chief among them, the strong team of skillful Japanese stylists. We love them not just because they are Japanese and very polite; each of the stylists here is very good at what they do. Salon Manager Takato, for example, is handpicked to join Singapore after impressing the founder of AUBE Japan with his haircut and colouring skill. Reiko, on the other hand, is brilliant with easily maintainable haircuts and sophisticated hairstyling for that special occasion. The founding Japanese stylist for AUBE Kazuki Tamura needs no introduction given that he is one of Beauty Undercover's most popular Japanese stylists! Having gone to Vidal Sassoon London, his hairstyles doesn't just look good in photos, they are super easy to maintain and looks the same even back home - a reason why SO MANY Beauty Undercover agents rave to us about how much they love his haircut. 

Add on the fact that the stylists attend to you on a one-to-one basis and you've got a memorable hair experience that make you want to come back again and again.

Here at Aube, they handle everything from the hair wash to the haircut, colouring and blowdrying by themselves with no help from assistants!

And the best part is, prices here are among the LOWEST in Singapore. Hair colour for ALL HAIR LENGTH start at just $95, Cosmetic Perms start at $100 and Digital Perms at $170 before any applicable discount.

For those who wonder how they can charge such a low price, well, it's not because they skimp on their quality of products. In fact, they use well known Japanese brands like Wella and Hoyu hair colours as well as Tokio Inkarami for their hair colours and treatments. 

Their huge presence worldwide and sheer volume of customers in Singapore alone allow them to get preferential pricing on their products, allowing them to pass the cost savings to their customers. 

With such reasonable prices, service and quality products, it is no wonder why 8 out of every 10 customers who try AUBE return regularly for their hair services. 

Overall, this is a hair salon we love to recommend to all our friends and budget-conscious ladies for great cuts, colours and treatments!

Bad rebonding with Nemoto san

Done a rebonding touch up by Mr Nemoto at Cineleisure branch but the curls were not straightened after that. The last step when he applied the solution was washed off fairly quickly after applying. He said it should enough. When I saw the curls after washing my hair the next day I wasn’t convinced he was right. Anyways, he was professional about that and did a second round of rebonding touch up. He washed off even quicker after applying the solution. The curls were still there and the worse was my hair was very dry after the second rebonding touch up ! Forget it I will write off this salon (Review approved by Beauty Undercover)

Ruined Hair

Review for Hiro

Went for a digital perm under Hiro and my hair turned out to be straighter than what I went in with (I had permed hair before but it was fading). Even though he was polite and kind enough to offer me a 2nd perm, it still didn’t work and my hair turned out flat, dry, and fried. (Review verified)

Worst Tokio Inkarami Hair and Scalp Treatment EVER

All the hype about the TOKIO INKARAMI treatment caused me to develop the impression that it is a miracle treatment for my naturally frizzy, curly hair. Thus, after much research, I decided to splurge on this treatment at AUBE Somerset, given the salon's reknown reputation. Before the treatment, the staff at the salon explained the process of the TOKIO INKARAMI treatment detailedly before going ahead with it. She was attentive to me and occasionally checked that I was comfortable during the treatment. Thought the entire process was pleasant, but the results were utterly disappointing. It did nothing for my naturally frizzy hair, in fact it looked so frizzy that the staff had to use multiple creams to tame it. I even opted for the TOKIO scalp treatment to get rid of the minor dandruff issue but it seemed to cause my scalp to itch and generated more dandruff instead. The bill came up to be a grand total of $250++ and the staff advised me to do the TOKIO INKARAMI treatment 2 more times so that I can truly see the effect 😑 Overall, I won't recommend this treatment to those with naturally frizzy and curly hair.

Dear Eunice, Thank you for visiting AUBE Japanese Hair Salon. We would like to apologize that we did not meet your expectation during your visit here with us last month. It seems as if there is some miscommunication. The main benefit of Tokio Inkarami Treatment is in repairing and restoring damaged hair. As it does not have straightening effect, you will see an improved hair quality only after a few sessions depending on your current hair condition. If you are hoping for immediate effect after one session, we recommend going for Keratin treatment. We deeply apologize for not being as clear during the consultation as we should have. We promise to work harder on this and hope to serve you better the next time around. So sorry once again and hope to see you again in the future. Warm regards Team AUBE Japanese Hair Salon

Extremely rude

Review for Takato

I booked an appointment for a hair colour and I made an effort to be there at the given opening time at 10am. I inquired about highlights and was told by the stylist that he didn’t have time to do that and would prefer that I came back another day. I really could not believe that no consideration at all was given to the customer and it was just for his own convenience. This kind of attitude doesn’t deserve any business at all.

Great Hair Encounter

Review for Reiko

It was my first experience visiting this hair salon. The hair stylist attended to me was Reiko. Had a very superb hair experience from clear explanation of the step by step hair treatment to wonderful hair cut outcome. What I liked best was the hair massage and Reiko paid attention to me feeling cold and putting hot head rest as well as warm blanket. Would highly recommend this hair salon and looking for Reiko.

Loving the haircut by Reiko

Review for Reiko

Reiko is really pleasant and friendly! Through our conversations, I mentioned that I shared that I was too busy to get a hair cut for the past few months and I also love traveling. Based on that, she suggested a convenient hair cut for me which doesn't require combing at all after washing (amazing!). This is a winner as I recall how there are many times which I would forget to bring a comb while traveling, and this also saves time in ensuring my hair looks fine amidst my busy schedule. I can't wait to try the other services they have! Thanks Reiko! :)

Pleasant experience, disappointing results

All the hype about the TOKIO INKARAMI treatment caused me to develop the impression that it is a miracle treatment for my naturally frizzy, curly hair. Thus, after much research, I decided to splurge on this treatment at AUBE Somerset, given the salon's reknown reputation. Before the treatment, the staff at the salon explained the process of the TOKIO INKARAMI treatment detailedly before going ahead with it. She was attentive to me and ensured that I was comfortable throughout the whole treatment. I must admit, the entire process was lovely, but the results were utterly disappointing. It did nothing for my naturally frizzy hair. I even opted for the TOKIO scalp treatment to get rid of the minor dandruff issue but it seemed to cause my scalp to itch and more dandruff instead. Overall, the experience was pleasant but I will only recommend this treatment to those with naturally non-frizzy and non-curly hair. There is also no hard selling so don't worry about getting pressured to purchase anything~

Great Work by Mr Takato

Review for Takato

This is my first hair cut experience after he moved from Clementi to New Somerset branch. He listens to my detailed needs and his haircut is great! Highly recommended.

2nd time at the salon

Review for Reiko

This is my second visit to an Aube Salon. The first one was at Wheelock where Benjawan did a fantastic job with my hair! This time round I visited the salon at Cineleisure where I was attended to by Reiko. She gave a really great haircut! And was very attentive at all times. Despite the language barrier, I enjoyed chatting with her, and she was all smiles and friendly. Thank you very much Aube! Can’t wait to book my next hair appointment with them again.
