Both Ladies and Men have a lot of things going against them in terms of hair in Singapore. Unlike other Asian neighbours Japan and Korea, our climate is a lot more humid, our hair a lot more fine and for ladies, a lot less time to manage their hair. My dream, ever since I founded Pro Trim years ago, is to help the normal Singaporean on the street achieve a beautiful blow-out look with a great haircut and perm that requires less than 5 minutes to style!

Tino
Founder of Pro Trim Hair Salon

Overview

Furnished with relatively simple decor, Pro Trim @ Ngee Ann City is the type of salon customers are very likely going to overlook. You can't really see the salon from the outside but just peek in from the entrance and you'll find a standard salon layout like this:

To be honest, we were not exactly wowed when we first walked in.

However, our impression started to turn for the better after spending some time within.

You see, the major reason why we decided to visit Pro Trim @ Ngee Ann City was because Agent G's FAVOURITE Korean stylist Joel Park has just moved here. If you recall, Joel saved Agent G's limp bleached hair with an awesome perm that lasted for more than 6 months. We arrived just as he completed the perm for some customers and we're happy to note that his perms are as awesome as ever: natural, sexy and glamorous! That's as expected even though we could never stop being amazed at just how pretty his perms are.

What was unexpected for us. however, was the perms done by other stylists in Pro Trim @ Ngee Ann City. We can't help but notice that many of their haircuts are perms look ALMOST just as good as Joel's. VERY very well done!

It was only upon further probing that we realize why. Pro Trim @ Ngee Ann City is the chain's flagship store. This means that this is where all its most ZAI hairstylists station themselves.

This includes its co-founders Tino and Florence as well as its most illustrious Korean stylists Joel Park.

There are so many good stylists here that if you throw a dart, you'll get a good haircut and perm no matter who you hit.

They don't do many promotions nor advertising but still have a big group of loyal customers thanks to strong word of mouth recommendations! Their customers range all the way from bosses of conglomerates, indonesian tycoons, celebrity pastors to the regular working professional and stay at home moms.

From what we can see, the reason why so many people choose to come here despite its hard-tofind location and less-than-amazing decor is because of ONE THING: Skill.

Even before Korean salons came in, Pro Trim was known to be among the best in the industry for perms. Very early on, Pro Trim's Vidal Sassoon trained founder Tino saw and loved how the Korean stylists are able to create romantic, beautiful hairstyles. He has therefore invested a lot of time fusing Vidal Sassoon cutting techniques with Korean perms to achieve the best of both worlds.

The result: Easy-to-manage Korean style haircut or perm that customers absolutely love! He has since trained his stylists in a similar style, which is why so many of local stylists are very competent in this area.

Thanks to their expertise and the aggregation of top stylists in Ngee Ann City, there are VERY FEW MISTAKES or REDOS in this salon, if at all. Instead, this is the place many go to when they get their hair damaged elsewhere because the stylists here will know just what to do to fix it.

Competence aside, the stylists here are very easy to come back to because they are just so warm and sincere. In their presence, the stylists here feel more like friends and family so you can feel that they truly emphathise and feel for you. (This may mean a treatment or trim here without charges from CERTAIN stylists if they know you need it) They also do not hardsell products or services you don't need, so you'll feel particularly relaxed here.

Best of all, prices are not exorbitant and is in fact a shade below what you would expect for their experience and service, making it a top choice for customers looking for value-for-money services!

Pro Trim @ Ngee Ann City may not be the most cool or chill salon you've been to but if you appreciate a good haircut and perm, we're confident that you won't be disappointed!

Featured In

Not-So-Happy-With

  • Does not have the most luxurious decor

Joel Park, He works wonder!

Review for Joel Park

Joel Park listens and delivers. I have been living with straight & lifeless hair for the past 30 years and had negative experience with empty talk hairdresser in the past. It took me great courage to come to Joel and give it a “one last try.” Joel listens to me and delivered voluminous curls. I now own a head of “salon-set” ready hairdo daily! I strongly recommend anyone who wants a transformation to visit Joel Park. He works wonder! (Review not yet verified)

Joel did a great job in identifying the perm I needed.

Review for Joel Park

Did a men's perm with Joel Park and the results turned out great. The perm still lasts with minimal maintenance for my lifestyle and Joel did a great job in identifying the perm I needed. If I were more diligent with the hair conditioning and treatments, I am sure the perm would last even longer. Highly recommended! (Review not yet verified)

Review for Joel Park

Whether it’s a haircut or the perm &color , Joel never disappoints. Although he is extremely popular, making appointments is fuss-free and he would often drop a text after to check in on the condition of the hair. Knowing that my hair is in good hands when Joel handles it, I will definitely continue to remain a loyal customer for come back. High recommend Joel Park (Review not yet verified)
