Dyeing your hair in vibrant shades is all the rage these days — with everything from bright blue to rose gold constantly appearing on the popular pages of our Instagram feed. Finding a salon that does these shades well and without damaging your hair, though, is a real feat.
After all, it seems that getting brightly coloured locks always comes at the expense of your hair health, right?
Wrong! Ultimately, it depends on the salon and colouring service you opt for. Have no idea where to start, or what shade to dye? Don’t worry, Daily Vanity is here to help.
Here are several of the best salons for vibrant coloured hair in Singapore, and some of the hottest new shades from the #WhatsYourMuse campaign to try. Trust us, your dream hair is just within reach!
1. EX Style Sculpture
Don’t be fooled by the uber stylish and modern decor — EX Style Sculpture provides quality service that is still affordable. They are primarily located in heartland areas — such as Jurong and Tampines — offering a wide variety of services alongside dyeing. Think oh-so-trendy Korean and digital perms, too!
Plus, EX Style Sculpture also uses Shiseido Professional Colormuse to dye their customer’s locks. A colouring service that offers highly vivid dyes while giving strength and moisturising hair, it is also specially designed for Asian hair, allowing for limitless and creative creations.
Yup, you read that right! It means you’re getting a bright, vibrant shade without requiring bleach whatsoever. Way to get the best of both worlds!
Want something with a hint of edgy cool without going too OTT? Opt for brightly coloured streaks instead of doing a full head of dye. Blue and greens work on most skin tones, so alternate between both to add some depth and shape to your locks.
