Walk out of Woodleigh MRT on a Saturday morning and the first thing you will probably notice is how quiet Bidadari still feels compared to its noisier neighbours, even with The Woodleigh Mall buzzing right above the station. It is the kind of estate where a coffee run turns into a small errand list, and for many residents, one of those errands is finding a decent hair salon in Bidadari that does not mean a bus ride out to Toa Payoh or Serangoon.
That is exactly the gap this guide fills. We have scoped out the salons sitting inside The Woodleigh Mall itself, from full-service studios that handle colour and keratin treatments to a quick walk-in option for when you just need ten minutes and a tidy fringe. If you have already found your go-to spot for a caffeine fix, our guide to the best cafes in Bidadari pairs nicely with a salon visit on the same trip.
Note: This list is strictly not in order.

1. EX Style Prestige

Best for: Bold colour work, keratin treatments and rebonding
Estimated price: From SGD 58.90 (Designer cut, wash and blow) up to SGD 98.90 (Master stylist cut); colour treatments from SGD 109
Website: EX Style Prestige

Operating hours: Monday to Friday 11am to 9pm, Saturday 10am to 8.30pm, Sunday and Public Holidays 10am to 8.30pm (per the salon’s own site; a booking aggregator lists a slightly earlier weekday start of 11.15am, so a quick call ahead is a sensible move if timing is tight)
Phone number: No listed direct phone line; the outlet takes booking enquiries over WhatsApp at +65 8070 3699
EX Style Prestige is the salon to book if you are after more than a trim. It is part of a small chain of Singapore studios that leans into colour work, and the Woodleigh Mall outlet carries the same tiered stylist system as its sister branches, so you can choose between a Designer, Creative or Master stylist depending on how particular you are about the finish.
The service menu goes well beyond a basic cut, covering balayage, low-ammonia colour, digital perms, scalp treatments, soft and antho rebonding, and a dedicated child cut and wash option, which makes it a sensible pick for anyone planning a proper hair transformation rather than routine upkeep.
What to note: Treatments here run on the pricier end for a heartland mall, and popular slots fill up fast on weekends, so messaging ahead on WhatsApp is a safer bet than walking in cold.
2. NK Hairworks
Image Credit: NearMe (illustrative image)
Best for: Classic cuts with a stylist tier to match your budget
Estimated price: From SGD 49.05 (adult haircut, Senior Stylist) up to SGD 95.90 (women’s cut, Director Stylist); kids’ cuts from SGD 28.30
Website: NK Hairworks
Location: 11 Bidadari Park Drive, #02-39, The Woodleigh Mall, Singapore 367803
Operating hours: Monday to Friday 11am to 8.30pm, Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays 11am to 8pm
Phone number: +65 6980 8163
NK Hairworks has built a following across its Singapore outlets for the tiered stylist system, and the Woodleigh Mall branch runs the same way. Instead of one flat rate for every haircut, you choose between Senior, Leading and Director stylists at the point of booking, which means families on a shared budget can each pick a price point that suits them.
The service menu covers the essentials well, including shampoo, cut and blow for adults and children, fringe trims, styling for special occasions, and heavier chemical services such as fringe rebonding and root perms for those who want them. It is a reliable, no-surprises option for a neighbourhood cut.
What to note: Because pricing scales with stylist seniority, it helps to confirm which tier you are booking before you sit down, especially if you are choosing based on a specific stylist’s portfolio.
3. kcuts
Best for: A fast, no-appointment trim right by the MRT
Estimated price: Not independently confirmed for this outlet; kcuts does not publish a fixed price list and instead runs periodic flash-deal pricing through its app, with past promotions seen from around SGD 12 for an adult cut
Website: kcuts
Location: 11 Bidadari Park Drive, #B1-15, The Woodleigh Mall, Singapore 367803
Operating hours: Not independently confirmed for this specific outlet; check the kcutsGO app or the outlet locator before visiting
Phone number: Not available. kcuts outlets do not list individual phone lines, and queueing is managed through the kcutsGO app instead
kcuts built its name on the promise of a precision haircut in around ten minutes, and the Woodleigh Mall outlet in the basement is a genuinely convenient option for anyone passing through the MRT who does not want to commit to a full salon appointment. It runs on a walk-in, queue-by-app model rather than a traditional booking system, and stylists are noted as trained for children’s cuts too.
This is a pick for function over flair, with no colour, treatment or styling menu to speak of, just a straightforward cut that suits commuters, students and anyone who wants to pop in between errands at Woodleigh Mall.
What to note: Exact pricing and hours for this specific outlet were not published on kcuts’ own site at the time of writing, so download the kcutsGO app or check in person before you queue, and go in expecting a no-frills cut rather than a full salon experience.
How We Chose These Hair Salons In Bidadari
- Proximity: every salon sits inside The Woodleigh Mall, directly above Woodleigh MRT, so none of them require a bus ride or a drive.
- Service range: we picked salons that cover the estate’s likely needs, from quick commuter trims to full colour and chemical treatments.
- Price transparency: we favoured salons that publish at least some pricing detail, so readers are not left guessing at the counter.
- Genuine category fit: each pick is a proper hair-cutting salon rather than a nail bar or lash studio that happens to share a corridor.
How to Choose the Right Hair Salon Near Bidadari
- Decide if you need an appointment: full-service studios like EX Style Prestige and NK Hairworks are best booked ahead, while kcuts works on a walk-in queue.
- Ask about stylist tiers upfront: salons with tiered pricing can vary a lot between a Senior and a Director stylist, so confirm the rate before you sit down.
- Check the portfolio for chemical services: if you want colour, rebonding or keratin treatment, ask to see recent work rather than assuming any salon in the mall offers the same quality.
- Budget your time as well as your money: a quick cut can take ten minutes, but a full colour or treatment session can easily run past two hours.
Getting Around Bidadari
Bidadari is built almost entirely around Woodleigh MRT station on the North East Line, with The Woodleigh Mall sitting directly above the concourse, so all three salons in this guide are reachable without stepping outside. Residents in the surrounding Alkaff and Bidadari Park blocks are typically a five to ten minute walk away, several bus services along Upper Serangoon Road and Bartley Road stop close by, and a basement carpark serves those driving in, though weekend slots fill up fast given the mall’s popularity with families visiting Bidadari Park and Alkaff Lake next door.
Final Thoughts
Bidadari might still be one of Singapore’s newer estates, but it already has enough of a salon lineup that a proper haircut no longer means leaving the neighbourhood. Whether you are after a full colour transformation, a reliable everyday trim, or just ten spare minutes near the MRT gates, The Woodleigh Mall has a fair spread of options for residents settling into the area.
If you are planning a full morning out, our guide to the best cafes in Bidadari makes a good next stop once your hair is sorted, and we will keep adding to this estate’s coverage as more shops and services move in around Woodleigh Mall.
