The best hair salons in Singapore for curly hair

Grease Monkey's typical customer is a hot-blooded male looking for a sleek cut. But lately, curly girls (and boys) have been stepping into the studio on Bali Lane to see Iffah, a female hairdresser and colourist who's been gaining a reputation as one of the best curly hairstylists in Singapore. Iffah started cutting curly hair thanks to her best friend, who's been on a journey of embracing her own ringlets. Sweet and curious, Iffah makes it a point to check in with customers on their curly hair routine and styling preferences. She also fully explains every product (typically Cantu and SheaMoisture) before using it on you. Iffah does a mean dry cut, if that's what you prefer, and it helps that she's fantastic at hair colouring too.

Ann's Studio began as Curly Ann, referring to hairstylist Annie's own head of curls. That partly explains her popularity with similarly curly-haired girls in Singapore. Ann's Studio clearly states that it is not Curly Girl Method certified, but there's no denying that Annie understands curly locks. To be sure, you won't get all the bells and whistles here – the salon is a pretty basic shop in The Adelphi. But whether its a pixie cut, long bob, or flowing waves, Annie gets the haircuts and colour on point. Just come knowing what you want, with example pictures if you can.
