Hair salons in Singapore are a dime a dozen, but hijab-friendly salons that are catered to our Muslim sisters can be hard to come by. Though their hair might be concealed under a hijab, Muslim women also struggle with hair concerns such as greasy scalps and damaged strands, which call for a little TLC.
Ahead, we’ve gathered 10 hijab-friendly hair salons in Singapore that either serve female customers exclusively or are fitted with private rooms. Bonus: some of these salons use halal-certified products too, which means they’re free of alcohol and animal-derived ingredients.
Bee Choo’s salons have long been known for their herbal hair treatments. Now, Muslim women can try them out at Bee Choo Ladies, an outlet that caters only to women. There, you can treat your hair to nourishing haircare formulas made from herbal extracts and moisturising plant oils.
