The good:
“Went to Kovan to try the detoxifying treatment that was trending on instagram and decided to give it a go! What amazes me at the salon was the good and warm service I received from the staffs there!! And they were very friendly towards me as it was my first time doing a hair treatment at a salon and was patient in explaining the hair treatment steps:)) They were also knowledgeable in their product details too and I am going back once again to follow up with my next hair treatment session!!” – A review in facebook in August 2018
The not so good:
“Consultant was not upfront with treatment prices. Just keep saying She will give me the first trial price but after I proceed with treatment then say misunderstanding and the price is wrong. So I have to pay $40 more than what was expected. When I keep cornering her why she was not clear, she twist her words, without ever apologising. Even though the hair stylist was good, the consultant totally spoil the experience. I feel like I walked into a ‘黑店’.” – A review on google in May 2018
Sneak Peek at Organic Hair Professionals

The reviews on this salon is quite suspicious, Organic Hair Professionals averaged 4.7 stars on Facebook (309 reviews!!) while their rating on google is only 2.69 stars! This is a huge discrepancy. We went through their reviews on Facebook and found that many of the reviews were without any comments. Those with long comments are largely unhappy customers.
Our guess is that they had a marketing campaign where people who reviewed receive some sort of freebie from the salon which led them to having so many favourable reviews on Facebook. The google reviews are more genuine in our opinion. There are many complaints about pushy sales people and prices differing from promotional pricing.
Although they seem to be good in their hair colouring and hair styling but they seem to also upsell customers scalp and hair treatment even though customers may not want it. So be careful if you do indeed opt to visit Organic Hair Professionals.

The good:
“I’ve been visiting this branch for the past few months and every visit has been really pleasant. All the staff here are very friendly and really do their best to make you feel comfortable and happy. It shows very clearly that they take their jobs seriously and sincerely want to help their customers solve their hair issues. The salon itself is a very nice and cosy place where you can really sit back and relax while having your treatment…I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to this place ??” – A review on google in May 2018
The not so good:
Have been with Origin Ladies for more than a year now. Like the whole experience and online appointment option. Was at the outlet ahead of my appointment time yesterday. The staff were all occupied and there were quite a number of customers who are also waiting (not sure if it’s due to late comers that caused the backlog). Or it seems like the system is taking more customers than the staff can cope. Perhaps the management could review the current booking system and manage the appointments in a more effective way. – A review on facebook., in September 2018

via Bee Choo Ladies is pretty crowded!
Bee Choo Ladies specializes only in Herbal Treatment and they only have one colour. Either Copper colour or colourless (although for the colourless treatment you have to let them know in advance). Bee Choo Ladies is a bit different from other organic salons in the way that they only do herbal treatment.
They do not cut hair nor do colouring / perming / rebonding / other hair treatments.
However, Bee Choo Ladies can get a bit crowded as seen from some of their Facebook reviews and comments. Waiting time can get a bit crazy as well as someone had complain of waiting for 30 mins just for the treatment even with an appointment! But to be fair to Bee Choo Ladies, they had already explained that their appointment system is to reduce waiting time, no guarantees that you will be served on time. They did however, point out that their off-peak hours are weekdays 10am-5pm.
So if you are looking for an Organic Salon with respect to getting a treatment to solve your hair issues, Bee Choo Ladies is the specialist you are looking for!

Mockingjay Organic prefers organic and natural products. They boast of a “Clean Open Air” Salon, free of any odours so you can sit with peace of mind that you are in a safe haven to be pampered. According to their facebook page, all their products are environmentally friendly, safe for customers with allergies, sensitivities or are who are even pregnant.
The good:
Tried their hair colour and protein treatment promotion, attended by Vin Soo. Love the service, non-pushy, patient, attentive and great team work. Will definitely come back again. – A review on Facebook in August 2018
The not so good
“Wasted my time travelling to the salon. First, the staff were busy using their handphone. Secondly, they did not inform me beforehand that the senior stylist I’ve book an appointment with is on urgent leave. Only director is available and have to TOP UP the extra cost for the director to cut my hair or allocate the appointment to another day. Totally unapologetic for causing the inconvenience by them.” – Review on Vanity Fair in September 2018
To be fair to Mockingjay, this is the ONLY unhappy review of The Mockingjay Hair Salon. It is probably written by a person who is in a foul mood. And it is also partly her fault for not booking the appointment, although in her defence, you only see notices by Mockingjay on needing an appointment in their Facebook post, nothing obvious mentioned on their website.

Mockingjay has one of the strongest following for a single outlet salon. Almost all their reviews are 5 stars on google, Facebook and also Vanity Fair. They seem to have different levels of hair stylist, so the more senior stylist charge a higher price. If you are looking for hair treatments to get your hair looking great, be it perming / rebonding / protein treatment or getting a crazy unicorn colouring (popular with younger ladies) you might want to check out Mockingjay, just be sure to book an appointment beforehand to avoid disappointment!

Team Salon is one of the larger high-end hair salon chains in Singapore with 6 branches they offer quality hair colouring techniques, sophisticated cutting techniques, as well as the amazing talent and creativity of its hair artists. Team Salon is Aveda Concept Salon #avedasg #aveda – No 1 Plant Based hair product from USA.
The good:
“Team Salon is a hairstyling chain in Singapore that strikes the right mix between being commercial service business and having a personal kind of warmth. The hair stylists here are skilled, prices are decent, and they stock as their flagship product the Aveda range of spa products.” – A review on google back in 2016
The not so good:
“Went to Star Vista outlet for a haircut. The stylist that cut my hair was really terrible…he cut my hair like he is in a hurry and wash my hair only after the haircut…the shampooing was really fast…no massage no nothing. Just apply shampoo and rinse.
He also keep commenting that i am balding and it is looking real bad. Walk away for 10 mins while cutting my hair to attend to another customer…the haircut he gave me was super ugly as well.
I am a regular customer at Vivocity outlet and i don’t understand how the hairstylist which cut my hair at Star Vista outlet can be so lousy. Wonder if they purposely put the lousy hairstylist there because business is slow at Star Vista.
Really regret going there” – A review on google Nov 2017

Team Salon is certainly one of the more establish salons chain in Singapore, being large they have lots of new stylists trying to make it in this competitive industry where customers have very high service standards demand, hence there is definitely some inconsistency in quality of stylist, so if you want to be guaranteed the best service, you just need to top up to be served by the leading stylist or directors.
Team Salon specializes in stylish and trendy haircuts, high quality hair colouring techniques using up to 99% naturally derived component (still some chemical involved) and professional make-up (from SGD 65). Not so much has been mentioned in their reviews about scalp treatment for hair & scalp issues. Lastly, be sure to check their opening hours and days as it is isn’t the same for all outlets!

The good
“So happy to have found this salon 🙂 My hair has been damaged by over processing at another (reputable) salon and it took a long time to recover from that. I’m a bit cautious when it comes to trying a new salon, but after reading so many positive reviews of J&J Hair Identity online, I decided to pay them a visit and now I’m going to be a regular here. I love their high quality organic colour – it causes less damage to my hair and its also much more comfortable to apply. (The colour used at other salons makes my scalp itch badly, which I guess is a sign of the harsh chemicals inside). Their service is so friendly and relaxed and its such a enjoyable experience. I also like how convenient it is to book and pay online too. Highly recommended!” – A review on facebook in March 2018

“I did hair coloration but the color was not even No color blend to match the color that I wanted and showed them However the staff was nice” – A review on Vanity Fair in June 2018.

They definitely have a team of super friendly staff that even people who did not like the colouring still gave it to them. They are also known for not hard selling. They are better known for their hair cutting and hair colouring skills. Not much mentioned about the effectiveness of the hair or scalp treatments. Their pricing is also very transparent and you even get 10% off if you paid online! If you are looking for friendly good service staffs, straight forward pricing, check out hair identity!

Colour Haven’s owner seems to be very popular amongst his customers and he certainly goes out of the way for them. However, most of the reviews are commending the hair salon’s owner on his hair cutting skills and his hair colouring skills. No mention of scalp treatment and its effectiveness. So if you are looking for an outrageous hair colouring and stylist haircut, you can certainly try out Colour Haven!

The good:
“Really happy with the Olaplex Hair treatment service. The hairdresser patiently shared with me the uses and benefits of Olaplex and is very meticulous in the treatment. My hair feels much smoother and less brittle after the treatment. Definitely recommending this to my friends.” – A facebook review in April 2018
The not so good:
“In general I use organic products and I was attracted to try this new salon because of their online offer of 30% discount for new customers. Later when I went there I realised that this is only a marketing scam to attract customers in their salon. I never received the discount of 30% off, because according to them this is already discounted price, otherwise in future the price would be much higher. ? Their website states the prices for the service but as “price starting from…” giving them space to bump up the price according to their preference. So that 30% discount for first time customers will be already in the bumped up calculation…” – A review on Google in September 2018

Giseno may be slightly vague on their promotional tactics, nevertheless, they have a lot of satisfied customers. They are better known for their organic colouring and hair treatment to achieve soft and manageable hair. Not so much for their Korean Herbal treatment for hair issues. Feel free to try them out, but be wary of the top-ups and promotional tactics! Best to clarify pricing before starting treatment!
