“Haircare is part of self-care and shouldn't be reserved only for the ultra-wealthy. That’s why Hairlux stands for affordable luxury: we bring you the best in haircare products and services, minus the extravagant price tag.”
There's no shortage of upscale salons in the East but finding one with the right balance of luxury, skill and price isn't all that easy. That's why the swanky new Hairlux Salon in Katong V Shopping Mall caught our eye.
With the luxurious decor, the fancy starts even before you step foot in the salon.
From the moment you enter, you'll be greeted by the friendly receptionist and be shown to your very own seats where you and your companion can get your hair done.
Be prepared for some serious TLC as the stylists here use top quality products such as Tokio Inkarami to ensure that your hair and scalp gets the goodness it needs.
The service you absolutely have to try here is the Tokio de Sinka Perm and Straightening that removes frizz and gives you curls just the way we love it.
The person behind many of these creations? Jimmy, an award-winning hairstylist with more than 10 years of experience cutting, perming and colouring hair for customers! You may not have heard of him but he was previously listed as a Top Hairstylist back in Malaysia. Even in Singapore, his skill has allowed him to very quickly accumulate a huge following of customers who love how his perm adds femininity while at the same time, easy manageability.
Jimmy is often assisted by his partner in crime, Loon, whose prowess in haircuts and colour strikes the right balance between classy and trendy.
Aside from Jimmy and Loon, we were excited to uncover up and coming stylist Cherry. Thanks to her previous experiences as a scalp therapist and masseur, Cherry delivers a darn good head spa complete with an orgasmic head and shoulder massage that leaves you feeling fabulous. The perfect person to give you a perk-me-up after a long day at work.
You'd think that with the opulent decor, exclusive space, experienced stylist team and a name like Hairlux, the prices here would be off the roof, right?
We're really happy to find that hair services here are surprisingly value-for-money. Their haircuts for Junior stylists start at $35 and if past promotions are any indication, they had services at $88 for hair colours and $188 for Cut + Perm + Treatment, prices that are really hard to beat in the East for this level of skill and service.
Have you given them a try?

P.S. You can get your facial done right here in their dedicated facial room within Hairlux. Agent G tried their medical grade peel and was amazed at how fast her skin brightened afterwards!

Great experience at Hairlux
I had really dry and frizzy hair prior to going to hairlux, however after my Tokio Inkarami treatment, my hair became extremely smooth and non frizzy anymore. My hair colour also looked more vibrant and even prettier than before! Would highly recommend hairlux and do look out for their exclusive promotions for great deals! (Review not yet verified)

Great experience with amazing results!
Been visiting Hairlux for the past 2 years and i always leave the salon with satisfaction. Amazing results and amazing service from the staff there. Despite bleach many times, hair is still not damaged and colour retention is really good! (Review approved by Beauty Undercover)

Could be better
Stepped into the salon feeling good, clean environment and they serve beverages and wine! Stylist made us feel comfortable checking on what we else we need. My friend and i went ahead to do cinderella treatment instead of normal rebonding because I was pregnant, there was some confusion on the promotion when we tried to quote beauty undercover offer. Was resolved quickly when we showed them the screen shot on the discount and was entitled to it.we left the salon happy with the result. Fast forward 3 days, 2 wash after I realised my hair curls are still quite obvious thus I message the salon whether I can come down to redo. They commented on probably its my hair texture and suggested to do rebond instead if I would like it to be straight. I told them I'm pregnant and the result is really quite far from what I expect. I went ahead to do some research with other salons and realised that cinderella solution from naturia is not suitable for pregnancy cos they changed their ingredients sometime ago and some have already stop offering to pregnant ladies. I was taken aback cos Ive mentioned the pregnancy several times to the stylist and that's why I wld like to do e treatment but at no point they advice its not suitable. I end up telling them I won't be back due to this and no further explanation given but just apologies. Quite disappointed with the response and not what I expect from a salon with the price they charge.

Keratin Treatment
Decided to accompany my friend for the package at Hairlux and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do yet. But after a quick consultation, the stylist recommended the Keratin treatment for my damaged & bleached hair. The entire process took about 2 hours or so and the results were pretty amazing! My dry bush of a hair was now really smooth and silky! This was the first time I actually realised how long it was too 😲 Throughout the whole session, I was kept happily fed with snacks when I mentioned I was getting a little hungry 😅 Thank you for the attentive and great service!
