“We want to bring the best of Japanese hairdressing: the style, the knowledge, the creativity, the quality and the service to Singapore at prices accessible to everyone!”
Sad about the closure of CLEO Japanese Hair Salon last year? Don't be.
A new Japanese hair salon has taken its place in The Central Clarke Quay... and this time, it's better, cheaper and more accessible!
The New Japanese Hair Salon is called THREES, the first overseas collaboration between Shine Hair, Miel Hair and Eight Hair Salon from Japan.
Best known for their creativity, energy, style, Threes aim to bring Japan's signature omotenashi hair experience to Singapore.
And it starts with its location. Located within Level 4 of The Central, this place is easily reachable yet relatively quiet, giving us the privacy and convenience we crave. The decor is far from being luxurious but is certainly easy on the eyes and distinctively Japanese with a natural, woody feel.
The most important attraction for us though, is still the stylist team. As with many Japanese salons in Singapore, all the staff here are Japanese and they attend to your every need from start to finish without any hair assistants.
But what's special here is that the founding team consists of all Top Stylists back in Japan. This means that their skill is very good as they all enjoy a strong base of customers back at their salon. The salon manager Ken is especially notable given that he has worked with top artistes.
On top of their superior skill, their carefree, honest and genuine personality make it very easy for us to connect with them on a personal basis. Instead of being suited up like some other salons, the Japanese stylists here dress more casually and are more proactive to chat with you. Coming here therefore feels more like coming to a friend's place, one that's inviting and comfortable.
Add their everyday low price to the highly experienced English-speaking stylist team and you've got a Japanese salon you'll find easy to come by regularly. At just $170 for haircut and colour BEFORE any promotions, this price is possibly lower than most local salons you'll find in Singapore.
For those who enjoy getting pampered at a Japanese salon, THREES is definitely one of the first few places we would highly recommend you to try for a value-for-money Japanese hair experience!
Beyond attractive prices, Threes Japanese Hair Salon offers a complimentary member loyalty program to reward customers who return for more services!

Very good service!
I have been visiting threes for the past two years. My previous hair stylist was shota and current hair stylist is Yuma. Both of them offered very good service and reasonable price. I am always here to do my hair retouch. You can't anywhere else that could offer professional service + reasonable price. Come ! Visit them ! (Review approved by Beauty Undercover)

Thank you Yuma!
Yuma was very friendly and helpful to my concerns about my hair colour, and gave very good advice accordingly. His English is also pretty good, so communication was not a problem, and he is also open to learn more about Singapore, hear about your trip to Japan (if you have been to before), and has a cheerful disposition. Even so, he is meticulous and detailed with his haircut, and checks every now and then to see if I am satisfied with the cut. At the end, he was also detailed when styling my hair with a hair iron and created very nice curls too. Thank you for the top service Yuma!😊👍 (Review approved by Beauty Undercover)

Amazing colouring and treatment by shota!
So happy with how my hair turned out it was the exact colour i was looking for and when i was worried shota gave me realistic expectations due to the condition of my hair and having to bleach twice. He was very careful in the cutting and blow drying as well! (Review approved by Beauty Undercover)

Ken - the master and perfectionist
This is my fourth time back here and the third time I've chosen Ken as my stylist. He is patient and meticulous and ensures the end product is satisfactory to not just me but himself. I love his 3D highlights and I highly recommend you find Ken if you want amazing hair. (Review approved by Beauty Undercover)

Wonderful experience
Always a relaxing and pampering treat visiting Threes beauty salon. Shota-san does his magic every time in recommending a hairstyle and hair colour that is suitable for my lifestyle. I feel refreshed and rejuvenated after each visit and always enjoy chatting with Shota-san. (Review not yet verified)

Lovely experience!
I made an appointment with Threes easily via WhatsApp and was able to secure a slot in the next 1-2 days, which was great. I wanted to know if I should do hair colour or retouch, and Chie-san was super friendly and gave her advice. I ended up going with retouch to minimize damage on my hair since she said my hair ends still were fine. Loved that there was no hard selling! Would definitely visit again! (Review not yet verified)

Avoid like a plague
If you are not a regular or not Japanese speaking, know that you will be treated as 3rd class or worse. I came for a root touch up and was treated like they did not want my business. First the hairdresser, M, was chatting with a previous Jap customer for a full 10 min after she was done, when I was waiting at a seat right next to him. Next, he did not even consult me on the type of colour I wanted and just went on and slapped hair colour on me - in a rush to get the job done. When the colour setting time was up, he did not check whether my hair colour was done and just got me to wash my hair. To top it off, the hairdresser did not use any conditioner - but when I asked, insisted and lied that he did. After blow drying, my hair ends were frizzy and he left them be. This is the worst and most passive aggressively rude hairdressing experience I have ever had. It was as if the hairdresser just did not want a return business at all - which guess what, you no doubt will not have given the rude, dismissive and dishonest service. He just wanted to get rid of the customer as quickly as possible. So much for Japanese level service - this salon is the complete opposite. (Review verified)

Great Service w/Ken-san!!!!
Ken, I absolutely love the haircut you gave me. Although straightened for cutting and styling purposes, I know the cut will also sit well when I allow my hair to dry wavy. You absolutely nailed it!!!!! To my foreign travelling sisters reading this review while sitting in your hotel room furiously googling in the search of a reputable hairdresser. Book to see Ken!

Colour touch up
First visit to this salon. It’s clean and minimalist design. Stylists seem to be Japanese as I heard them conversing to other customers in Japanese language. No hard selling at all. First time customer gets 20% off too. Overall very comfortable and pleased with the service and ambience. I’ll definitely go back for colour touch up. (Review not yet verified)

Best salon in Singapore IMHO
I’ve been coming here for two years now for colour and cuts. Everyone is polite and welcoming, and super meticulous with ensuring hair colour and quality is achieved without doing any damage. Happy to have found a solid hairdresser after scouting around for a number of years! (Review approved by Beauty Undercover)

Excellent work
I did highlights on my partially twice-bleached hair. It was done beautifully, and my hair's in good condition. Shota was very careful with my hair and he explained the process. He generally understood me though I don't speak Japanese. His wave styling was also excellent – others thought I had received a permanent perm. The dyes/bleach/shampoo used at this salon don't leave an overpowering scent. Great work, and great service! (Review approved by Beauty Undercover)

First time at threes hair salon
Found Ken on Instagram and decided to give him a shot. He made sure to go off root when bleaching my scalp. I’ve bleached my hair multiple times before but this was my first where it didn’t hurt. He was super patient and everyone here is nice and helpful. He definitely exceed my expectations. I’m in love with the service and my hair! Will come back again.

Meticulous Creative director
Chanced upon their Instagram post 1 year ago and glad I did! My hair stylist Ken (who is also the manager) did my hair bleach & color so meticulously that it always attracted a lot of attention from the passerby after each session! The hair products in his salon are considered the quite high end and really protect my hair even after bleaching! Highly recommended to come for your hair service, especially hair coloring! Ken is the one who is the master in that field! (Review approved by Beauty Undercover)
