Raymond Eng and Anthony Chu started Black Hair Salon in 2000 and have built a base of loyal customers who rely on them for the perfect hairstyle. They've recently moved from their small studio in Bencoolen to a larger space at Capitol Piazza, complete with pendant lights and a sleek, clean design. They oversee a small but tight ship of experienced hair stylists who have been at the salon for years. Most of their clients come for colouring services – but not just for your typical shades of brown. The salon specialises in vibrant dyes in hues of purple, pink, blue and green, and these colours actually stay on your hair for a month instead of fading away after a couple of washes.
A basic cut starts from $40 for men and $48 for women, while creative colouring starts from $199 and includes bleaching. If you're concerned about the bleach drying out and damaging your hair, opt for an Olaplex pre-treatment ($40) or Olaplex full treatment ($120) to ensure that your hair is protected. Other treatments are also available, just ask your stylist for recommendations.
