Holland Village has a way of making you slow down: the smell of fresh bread drifting from the bakeries, chatter spilling out from the alfresco tables along Lorong Mambong, and a steady mix of expats, students and long-time residents who all seem to have a favourite spot tucked away somewhere. It is exactly the kind of neighbourhood where a good recommendation travels fast, which is why we are rounding up the best hair salons in Holland Village this time round.
Whether you need a quick trim before a work trip, a full colour change, or simply a stylist who listens when you say “just a little off the ends,” having somewhere reliable nearby saves a lot of hassle. We have already covered the best cafes in Holland Village for your coffee fix, so now it is time to sort out your hair without trekking across the island to do it.

Tucked along Lorong Mambong in Holland Village’s dining strip, Art-Noise is a Japanese-influenced salon built around colour work and scalp health rather than quick walk-in trims. The team includes Director-level stylists, and the salon’s own price list breaks down everything from a basic cut to full bleach-and-colour jobs, so you know roughly what to expect before you sit down.
What stands out is the treatment menu. Beyond cut and colour, Art-Noise offers specialised treatments for damaged hair alongside SHA Detox head spas, from a quick rinse to a full scalp treatment. It suits anyone whose hair has taken a beating from recent bleaching and wants a proper reset instead of a quick patch-up.
What to note: A cut with Director Daisuke costs more than a standard stylist and tends to fill up ahead of weekends, so book a few days in advance if you want a specific stylist. Prices listed exclude service charge.

The Hair Lounge sits on Holland Avenue, a short stroll from the MRT exit, and has built a following among residents who want a cut without the usual salon fuss. Appointments run through an online booking system, making it easy to lock in a slot during lunch hours or right after work.
The salon’s small team focuses on everyday cuts, colour correction and treatments instead of an overwhelming menu, keeping things simple for anyone who wants a stylist who gets it right the first time. It suits regulars who would rather stick with one salon than shop around every few months.
What to note: Pricing is not published on the salon’s website, so confirm the cost when booking or call ahead before your appointment.

Sweeney’s has operated out of Holland Road Shopping Centre for years, making it one of the more established names in the neighbourhood for straightforward cuts and basic colour services. It is the kind of salon locals bring their whole family to, from a child’s first haircut to a parent’s monthly trim.
There is nothing flashy about the setup, and that is the appeal. Appointments are kept simple, pricing sits below the trendier studios nearby, and the stylists are used to walk-ins alongside regulars who have been coming for years.
What to note: Online sources list a company registration for this business under a different address at One Holland Village, which may simply be an administrative address, not necessarily the salon’s physical unit. Multiple business directories agree on the Holland Road Shopping Centre unit above, but call ahead to confirm hours and that the salon is still operating from this location before visiting.
Holland Village MRT station on the Circle Line sits in the middle of the neighbourhood, with exits onto Holland Avenue and Lorong Mambong, so all three salons are within a five-minute walk. Drivers can park at Holland Road Shopping Centre or the carpark beneath One Holland Village, though both fill up on weekend afternoons.
Holland Village keeps surprising us with how much it packs into a few streets, and a decent hair salon is one more reason to treat it as your go-to neighbourhood instead of just a dinner spot. Whichever of these three you choose, a good meal is never far away afterwards. If you are planning a full day out, pair your salon visit with one of the best massage in Holland Village to properly unwind.
Yes. Holland Road Shopping Centre has its own carpark close to Sweeney’s, and One Holland Village’s basement carpark is a short walk from Art-Noise and The Hair Lounge. Both can fill up on weekend afternoons, so arrive early or try the Holland Village car park off Holland Avenue as a backup.
Holland Village MRT station on the Circle Line is the closest, with exits that put you within a five to seven minute walk of all three salons.
A basic cut at these salons runs from roughly $75 to $90, while colour services start from about $139 and climb depending on how much bleach or toner is involved. Treatments like head spas or scalp therapy generally cost between $30 and $60 per session.
Booking ahead is the safer option, especially on weekends, since stylist slots at Art-Noise and The Hair Lounge fill up through their online booking systems. Sweeney’s is more used to walk-ins, though calling ahead still helps avoid a long wait.
