Services

Dry Cut

Dry cutting performed on natural hair texture allows precise shaping while maintaining hair integrity. This technique enables visualisation of the final style during cutting, reduces damage from wet hair elasticity, and extends style longevity. Clients receive tailored advice on maintaining their new look at home.

Henna Treatment

Natural henna treatment strengthens damaged hair while providing chemical-free colour options. Available in six shades including red, burgundy, and black, this service covers grey hair while enhancing shine and volume. The treatment improves hair texture through natural protein bonding without synthetic additives.

Japanese Air Wave

Air-controlled temperature system creates soft, voluminous curls with minimal damage. Ideal for fine or soft hair types, this perm technique produces long-lasting waves that maintain natural movement. The process adapts to individual hair characteristics for customised results.

Hair Straightening

Japanese straightening technique transforms frizzy or curly hair into smooth, silky locks. Using Shiseido's advanced system, this permanent treatment reshapes hair structure while maintaining hair health. Results allow easy styling and long-term manageability without daily straightening.

Digital Perm

Digital heat technology creates shape-memory curls that enhance hair texture. The perm pattern becomes most visible when hair is dry, offering natural movement while maintaining style definition. This technique provides longer-lasting results compared to traditional perming methods.

Despite my vague explanation and picture of the hair i got randomly on Google. Kousuke turns my bob messy hair to an exceptionally top notch. The color looks amazing too. This is my first time Ive been here and i will definitely be back to become a regular. Thank you for your hospitality.

I have had about 6-8 perms in my life, and this was by far my favourite one! I usually get a digital perm, but it was recommended I have an air wave instead as it causes less damage & looks healthier. Also, my natural hair is quite fine & soft, so it doesnt hold waves easily. I told them this and they made sure to adjust their technique to suit my hair type. My waves are exactly how I wanted and my hair looks very healthy! I will definitely be coming here from now on.

I have been to this salon for more than 5 years and Yin is my favourite hairdresser, she always knows what I want before I ask for a hair colour or style. She is super friendly and down to earth. Service is superb and quick, I hate sitting in a salon for more than 8 hours just for a colour change and Yin can just finish in max 3 hours for what I want! Thanks Yin
