Getting a haircut can be a pricey affair if you go to a professional salon. Oftentimes, it’s painful for us to fork out a hundred bucks for a solid hair makeover – especially if you get your hair done often.
But you don’t have to go to a high-end salon for a good quality hairdo. With these home-based hair salons, you can get your hair styled by retired professionals or hairstylists with proper certifications without suffering serious wallet damage.
*Advance booking is required for all salons.

Located in a cosy HBD unit near Canberra MRT, the home-based salon will make you feel like an A-lister the second you walk through the door. Perming, bonding, and colouring are charged at a flat rate of $88, and their hair and scalp treatment is $58 for all lengths. That, coupled with the private space you’ll get from your visit, feels like a steal.

Many swear by home-based hair salons because of the privacy and flexible hours it offers, and it’s an added bonus if they’re only an elevator ride or a short walk away from your home. And unlike at a shopping mall, home-based salons don’t have to cover expensive rental fees, which allows them to keep their services relatively affordable.
