I have known Gayathri for more than 10 years now, and I cannot even count how many times I’ve hired her. She’s really good with whatever she does, her makeup is super natural and she does exactly the way I want my look to be. The last time she did my makeup was for an event in October, and I’m really very happy with the pricing also because I still feel she doesn’t overcharge.

I’ve hired Gayathri about six, seven, maybe eight times for my video shoots. I’m a professional singer, and every time I have a shoot, she glams me up for the particular look I’m going for and gives me a complete makeover to match what I’m trying to achieve for my song. I’ve had a really good experience with her, and I’m hiring her again in the next few weeks.

I’ve been a client of Gayathri for a few years now, and she’s done my hair and makeup for various events. She’s always professional, very transparent with pricing and availability, and when I talk through the look I’m going for or send an inspiration picture, she’s usually pretty spot on. I’ve used quite a few different makeup artists for various reasons and I always seem to come back to her. She can do both hair and makeup really well, which is very convenient, and I think her pricing feels fair for what she offers.

How much does a men's haircut cost in Singapore?
A no-frills cut at an express chain is S$14, and heartland barbers run S$8 to S$12, with some as low as S$6. Training academies charge S$8 to S$18 depending on whether a trainee or an instructor cuts. A neighbourhood salon is S$20 to S$30, a mid-range salon S$38 to S$48, and an established city salon S$70 to S$120. Most men in Singapore are paying somewhere around S$20 for a regular trim. If you go every few weeks, the difference between S$14 and S$60 across a year is real money, and for a short back and sides the S$14 version is often perfectly good.
How much does a haircut and beard trim cost in Singapore?
Adding a beard shape to a cut typically brings a S$20 trim up to around S$30 at a normal barber. Traditional barbershops that specialise in beards, with a hot towel and a cut-throat shave, charge more and are a different experience from a quick tidy-up. At the budget end, express chains generally do the cut only, so a beard is a separate stop. If you want both done properly and regularly, a neighbourhood barber at S$25 to S$40 for the pair is the sweet spot, and most will do a beard-only trim between cuts for less.
How much does a women's haircut cost in Singapore?
The spread is enormous and it is worth knowing where the steps are. Express and heartland salons cut for S$6 to S$24. A neighbourhood salon is S$24 to S$40. The popular mid-range salons most people use are S$38 to S$60, and once you are at a well known city salon a cut and style is S$80 to S$167 depending on whether you see a stylist, a senior or the director. Wash and blow dry is often quoted separately at S$24 to S$93. A useful middle path: many salons charge noticeably less for a junior or trainee stylist, sometimes half, and the cut is supervised.
How much does a kids haircut cost in Singapore?
Heartland salons and express chains cut children's hair for S$8 to S$16, and one popular neighbourhood salon charges S$16 for primary school children. A mid-range salon is S$20 to S$35, and a city salon charges S$50 to S$67 for ages five to twelve. Dedicated children's salons with a car-shaped chair and a screen cost more again and are worth it exactly once, for the child who will not sit still. For a first haircut, go somewhere quiet and unhurried rather than somewhere cheap, then switch to the S$12 heartland barber for every cut after that.
Where can I get afro or textured hair done in Singapore?
Standard salon prices apply for a cut, S$38 to S$167 depending on the salon, but this is a small speciality in Singapore and finding the right person matters much more than the rate. There are stylists and salons here who work with type 4 hair, braiding, locs and protective styles, largely serving the African and Caribbean communities, and they are usually found by word of mouth rather than by searching. Braiding is quoted per style and takes hours rather than minutes, so it is priced accordingly. Ask to see work on hair like yours before booking, and bring your own products if you use specific ones.
Where should I get Asian hair cut in Singapore?
This is the default in Singapore rather than a specialism, so the ordinary prices apply: S$6 to S$24 at express and heartland salons, S$38 to S$60 mid-range, S$94 to S$167 at a city salon. Korean and Japanese salons are their own tier here, generally priced at the upper end and known for cutting and colouring thick straight hair well, plus perms and colour formulated for it. Colouring dark hair to a light shade needs lightening first, so treat any quoted colour price as a starting point until a stylist has seen your hair. Rebonding from S$95 is the other service this market does at scale.
Where can I get curly hair cut in Singapore?
Prices are the ordinary ones, S$38 to S$60 mid-range and S$94 to S$167 at a city salon, but the choice of stylist matters far more than the price. Singapore has relatively few stylists who cut curls dry, curl by curl, and that technique is what separates a good curly cut from a bad one. Ask directly whether they cut dry and whether they have worked with your curl pattern, rather than assuming a good salon means a good curly cut. The humidity here is actually kind to curls, so many people find their hair behaves better in Singapore than it did at home.
How much does bleaching cost in Singapore?
On-scalp lightening is S$187 to S$345 at an established salon, and budget salons advertise bleach from around S$75. Going properly platinum from dark hair is rarely one appointment: most people need two or three sessions spaced weeks apart, so budget the total rather than the first visit. Add a toner at S$45 to S$93, because bleached hair without one goes brassy fast. This is the service where paying for skill genuinely matters, since over-processing breaks hair off, and Singapore's humidity is unkind to damaged hair. A bond treatment during the process is worth the extra S$56 to S$62.
How much does colour correction cost in Singapore?
Correction is quoted per head rather than off a price list, because the salon has no idea what is on your hair until they see it. As a guide, expect at least the cost of a full lightening and colour service, S$300 to S$700, and often more than one appointment. Box dye and a previous salon's mistake are the two usual causes, and box dye is the harder of the two to fix. Go for a consultation first, which is normally free, and be honest about everything that has been on your hair, including henna, because it reacts with bleach and a stylist who does not know will find out the hard way.
How much does grey coverage cost in Singapore?
Grey coverage is priced as a root tint, S$134 to S$227 at an established salon and from around S$60 at a neighbourhood one. Because grey shows at the parting first and grows out visibly, most people are back every four to six weeks, so this is a running cost rather than an occasional one. Two ways to spend less without looking like you have: ask for a root touch-up only rather than a full head, which many salons price lower, and consider a shade close to your natural colour, since a big contrast means the regrowth line arrives much sooner.
How much does hair colouring cost in Singapore?
A root tint is S$134 to S$227 at an established salon and considerably less at a neighbourhood one, where colour often starts around S$60 to S$100. Full head colour costs more than roots because there is more product and more time. The number worth planning around is the frequency rather than the price: roots need doing every four to six weeks, so a S$150 root tint is roughly S$1,500 a year. Ask whether a toner is included, since it is frequently a separate S$45 to S$93, and whether the price shown covers a wash and blow dry or that is added on afterwards.
How much does balayage cost in Singapore?
Balayage runs S$182 to S$407 at an established salon depending on stylist seniority and hair length, and mid-range salons offer it from around S$208 with a treatment included. It is hand painted rather than foiled, so it takes longer than standard highlights and costs accordingly. The reason it is worth the money is the grow-out: because the colour starts below the root, there is no line, and you can comfortably leave it three to six months. On dark Asian hair it usually needs lightening first, which adds both time and cost, so ask for a quote based on your actual hair rather than a reference photograph.
How much do highlights cost in Singapore?
A full head of highlights is S$227 to S$389 at an established salon, with the range depending on the seniority of the stylist and the length and thickness of your hair. Half head and partial work costs less. Highlights grow out more gently than a solid colour, which is the argument for them: you can leave them three or four months rather than six weeks, so the annual cost often lands below a root tint routine even though the single appointment is dearer. Expect it to take two to three hours, and check whether toner and a blow dry are included or extra.
How much does Olaplex cost in Singapore?
As an add-on during a colour or bleach service it is S$56 to S$62, and as a standalone treatment it is around S$107. Bond builders are one of the few salon add-ons genuinely worth taking, but only in the right situation: during lightening or heavy colour, where they measurably reduce breakage. Buying a standalone bond treatment on hair that has not been chemically processed does much less than the price suggests. If your hair is simply dry rather than damaged, a S$20 to S$45 conditioning treatment does more for the money, and so does a haircut.
How much does scalp treatment cost in Singapore?
A salon scalp or head spa treatment is roughly S$45 to S$150 a session, and hair loss clinics, which are a large and heavily advertised category here, sell multi-session packages that run into the hundreds or thousands. Be careful with those. Trial offers priced at S$30 to S$50 are designed to sell a long programme afterwards, and the results promised are frequently not supported. If hair loss is genuinely happening rather than a bad hair month, see a doctor first, because the treatable medical causes are diagnosable and a salon cannot do that. A scalp treatment is a pleasant thing, not a medical one.
How much does a keratin or rebonding treatment cost in Singapore?
Keratin smoothing is S$284 to S$535 at an established salon, and rebonding, which is more common here and more permanent, starts around S$95 at budget salons and climbs well past S$300 at good ones. This is the most popular treatment category in Singapore for an obvious reason, since the humidity undoes a blow dry within minutes. Understand the difference before choosing: keratin smooths and washes out over months, rebonding chemically straightens and grows out, leaving a line. Rebonding is harsher on hair. Neither should be done on the same day as bleaching.
How much does a mobile hairdresser cost in Singapore?
A hairdresser who comes to you charges around what a mid-range salon does, S$40 to S$100 for a cut, sometimes with a travel fee on top for further locations. It is a small market here, partly because Singapore is compact and salons are everywhere, so most mobile work is for people who genuinely cannot get out: older people, new parents, and anyone housebound. For those situations it is worth the premium. Practical point: colour and chemical services are harder to do well at home without a proper basin, so a mobile visit suits cutting and styling more than a full colour appointment.
How much do organic hair services cost in Singapore?
Salons using ammonia-free or plant-based colour generally price at the upper end of the mid-range, so a colour service of S$150 to S$300 rather than the S$60 a budget salon charges. The honest position is that organic is a loosely used word in this industry: ammonia-free colour is a real and meaningful difference, particularly for sensitive scalps and during pregnancy, while a shampoo described as natural often is not. Ask which specific products and which brand, rather than accepting the label. If your reason is a scalp reaction or pregnancy, say so directly, because that gets you a more useful answer than the word organic will.
How much do hair extensions cost in Singapore?
Extensions are quoted per head rather than listed, because the price is mostly hair: the amount you need, whether it is human or synthetic, and the method used. Salons usually ask you to come in for a consultation and quote after seeing your hair. Expect it to be one of the more expensive things on a salon menu, and expect maintenance appointments every couple of months as your own hair grows. Ask two things up front: what the total is including the hair itself, and what each maintenance visit costs, because the second number is the one that decides whether this is affordable over a year.
How much does wedding hair cost in Singapore?
A hair upstyle at an established salon is S$120 to S$200, and bridal packages that pair hair with makeup are quoted together and cost considerably more, particularly with a trial and a second look for the evening. For a guest at an event rather than a bride, a blow dry and simple styling at S$57 to S$93 is usually all that is needed. Book a trial for a wedding. It is the only way to find out whether the style holds, and Singapore's humidity is the reason it might not: a look that survives a photograph indoors can be gone by the time you reach an outdoor ceremony.
How much does a perm cost in Singapore?
Perms start from about S$95 at affordable salons and run to S$300 and above at established ones, with digital and Korean style perms at the higher end because they take longer and use heat. Length and thickness move the price, so a quote over the phone is provisional. In Singapore's humidity a perm behaves differently from a straightening treatment, generally holding better, though frizz management becomes the daily job. Ask how long it should last before you commit, since a good perm holds three to six months, and ask what it will look like growing out, which is the part people forget.
