When you’re looking for the best hair salon in Singapore, the most useful recommendation rarely comes from an advertisement. It comes from someone who has sat in the chair, more than once, and kept going back.

That’s exactly the kind of endorsement behind ELLE Singapore’s guide to the best beauty and wellness places in Singapore, published on 11 August 2026. The magazine asked five of the city’s most trusted beauty creators where they actually go: Mongchin Yeoh, Sahur Saleim, Vivien Toh, Anda Chaudhry and Brie Benfell. Not where they’ve been gifted a treatment. Where they book, pay and return.

We’re proud to say Love Hair made the list.

What ELLE’s beauty creators said about Love Hair

The mention came from content creator Brie Benfell, a long-standing client of the salon:

“Another place I fully trust is Love Hair. Jack has been my stylist for years and makes sure I have a perfect blonde. Beyond a cut and colour, the founder, Toni and her team truly look after your tresses and make sure you understand how to maintain them even after a colour session.”

Jack Broady, is our Master Stylist, with a hairdressing career that began in 2007. Trained in England, he spent years working in high-end salons in Manchester and London before bringing that experience to Love Hair.

Why “best hair salon in Singapore” is really about the long game

Singapore is not short of good hair salons. What’s harder to find is a salon that gets your hair right on the fifth visit, the fiftieth, and the one three days before your wedding. Here’s what we think that actually takes.

A stylist who knows your hair’s history

The single biggest factor in consistently good hair isn’t technique. It’s continuity. A stylist who has worked on your hair before knows how it lifted last time, how fast your roots come through, how your colour behaves in Singapore’s humidity, and how much heat your ends can take before they protest. None of that fits on a consultation card.

It’s why we build the team around long-term client relationships rather than churn, and why many of our clients have sat in the same chair since the salon opened in 2014.

Blonde that’s built to last

Blonde is the most technically demanding colour service in any salon, and the least forgiving. Getting to a clean, bright blonde is one problem. Keeping the hair in good condition on the way there, and keeping it there through months of maintenance, is a much bigger one.

Our blonde work covers balayage, babylights, freehand painting and full head colour, chosen according to what your hair can actually handle rather than what’s trending that season. For most clients that means fewer, better-planned appointments and less lifting overall.

Aftercare that works at home

Most colour disappointment doesn’t happen in the salon. It happens six weeks later, at home, with the wrong shampoo and a straightener set to 230°C.

So the aftercare conversation is part of the service, not an upsell at the till. Before you leave, you should know what your hair needs, what to wash it with, how to heat-style it without undoing the work, and when to come back.

Healthier hair, by design

Love Hair was founded in 2014 by head stylist Toni, after a personal health scare revealed high levels of toxic metals in her system. It changed how she thought about the products she was handling every day, and the ones she was putting on her clients’ hair.

The salon was rebuilt around that principle. We use a handpicked range of products chosen for lower chemical loads without compromising on results, including PPD-free and ammonia-free colour options and bhave’s chemical-free smoothing treatment. Our space on Keong Saik Road is finished in reclaimed wood, and we run the business as sustainably as we can, with locally filtered water, recycling, and a carbon footprint kept as small as we can manage.

Visit Love Hair on Keong Saik Road

You’ll find us at 23 Keong Saik Road, Singapore 089130, in the heart of one of the city’s best food and design neighbourhoods, a short walk from Outram Park and Chinatown MRT.

Whether you’re after a full blonde transformation, a subtle balayage, grey blending, a cut that grows out well, or bridal hair, we’d love to look after you. Book an appointment or call us on +65 6298 0327.

Thank you to ELLE Singapore, Megan La Faber and Brie Benfell for the mention.
