With so many options, finding a hair salon that balances quality and affordability can be tricky.
Growing out long, natural hair is a rewarding journey, but let’s be honest — it can sometimes feel like a chore. Your head starts to feel heavier, your reflection in the mirror begins to feel outdated, and suddenly, the idea of a fresh cut, a bold new colour, or a voluminous perm sounds incredibly tempting.
Even if you’re happy with your current style, your hair deserves a little TLC now and then to stay healthy and vibrant. But that brings us to the real challenge — where do you go?
Fortunately, I’ve done the hard work for you. Here’s a curated list of 11 highly-rated hair salons in JB, with prices starting from RM58 (~S$18), so you can refresh your look and get second glances from people passing by.
