Locs in Singapore

Locs in Singapore

What you need from a salon depends on where your locs are. Starting a fresh set is a different appointment from a retwist, and interlocking or styling a mature set is different again. The listings do not break that down, so the practical first question when you call is which of those the stylist does regularly.

Singapore has 32 salons listing locs work. All 30 of them carry a rating, the average sits at 4.6, and 24 land in the high band. That leaves a real tail of lower-rated listings, which is unusual for this kind of hair service and worth a minute of reading before you commit to one.

Review depth is lopsided in the same way. HAIR STUDIO FLAMINGO on Neil Road has 1,483 reviews, more than the next five salons on the list put together. Zona Felice on Upper Circular Road has 157 and Kutsurogi, a Japanese salon at number 13 on the same road, has 102. All three sit in Tanjong Pagar, which makes the CBD the densest place to look.

Outside the centre the options thin out to roughly one per town. Pearlista in Woodlands covers Marsiling with 95 reviews, Haircove is at Northshore in Punggol with 52, and ESHCO HAIR STUDIO on Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 in Ang Mo Kio has 16, so its rating rests on a thin base.

None of these salons take online bookings through Glow360 right now, so appointments go through the salon directly, and no rates are published on the listings. Ask what the quote covers by hair length and density, since that is what moves the number for locs work.
