Twist Hair Salon @ Tanjong Pagar

Where To Find Them

Sometimes, all we need is just a little twist to get ourselves and the people around us see us differently. At Twist Hair Salon, we work with you to find that twist to delight and brighten your day.

Shuhei Suzuki
Founder of Twist Hair Salon

Overview

Tired of paying sky-high prices for hair treatments and cuts that don't last? We recently discovered an affordable Japanese Hair Salon we are thrilled to share: Twist Hair Salon!

Located on the second floor of a shophouse along Tanjong Pagar Rd, Twist Hair Salon offers customers privacy, abundant natural light and the perception of space with its tall ceilings - along with music that is sure to put you into a chill mood.

If you're expecting a purely Japanese experience from the beginning till the end though, Twist Hair Salon isn't it. As a Director stylist in charge of training local stylists back when he was in Shunji Matsuo, Shuhei had always dreamed of building a diverse team where passionate stylists could gather, learn from each other and serve customers with heart. Instead of choosing to build a team of Japanese stylists, Shuhei actively worked with local stylists and staff to deliver Japanese-level service and skill - with a Singaporean twist.

From cut to colour and even styling, the hairstyles done at Twist are specifically designed to suit our Singaporean preferences and lifestyle. At the present, that means classy balayage, underlayer hairstyles and subtle perms that add natural volume without looking overly done or requiring much maintenance.

That's exactly how Shuhei envisioned Twist Hair Salon to be: a place where customers can comfortably come over, chill and brighten their day with a hairstyle they know they'll love. No pressure here about making dramatic makeovers or needing to add services you don't require - because he believes that a twist is sometimes all we need.

It's not just him who feels the same way. Though highly skilled with hair colours, you won't get Shuhei's talented and good-looking Singaporean protege Glen pushing you to do crazy hair colours because Twist is just not like that. Like Shuhei, Glen will listen and get an idea of the kind of hairstyle you're dreaming of, then recommend a hairstyle that he believes you can carry - all within your budget. It is this extra consideration and the pressure-free environment that got us really loving Twist.

Of course, the wallet-friendly prices doesn't hurt as well. Fans of Twist Hair Salon will know that this is possibly one of the cheapest places in town for authentic Keratin Treatments - be it Brazilian Blowout or K-Gloss. Believing that treatments are essential to make cuts and colours look good for longer, Shuhei intentionally keeps prices for treatments low so that customers can attain frizz-free hair with minimal maintenance.

It is not just treatments that are affordable here though. Prices for their hair colours and cuts can be cheaper than most hair salons in Singapore... if you're lucky enough to snag one of their promotions.

While Twist Hair Salon isn't the most luxurious hair salon we've been, their sincere Japanese hair experience with a Singapore twist, strong understanding of local styles as well as low prices make them a hidden gem not to be missed in Tanjong Pagar!

P.S. Twist Salon recently moved to their newer and bigger location at 272 South Bridge Rd! Be one of the first to check it out and be wowed by their beautiful decor!

TOMO

I totally enjoy having my haircut with Tomo, she just knows what my hair needs. She also listens to what I want and offers great suggestions. She never tells me no. The head massage she gives during hair wash is the best. She’s very tentative and caring too! Always feel relaxed during my appointments. I’ve been going to her many times and many times to come! :) (Review not yet verified)

Tomo hair stylist

After recce for quite a few Japanese salon, i met Tomo and have been following her for more than 2 years. She is patient and attentive to my hair style needs, hear what you want and always meet my expectation. For a Bob cut hair sounds easy but actually need skillful technique. She did a very good job from listening my needs up to the result. Thumbs up for her profession. Highly recommended if you need a constantly maintenance of your favourite hair styles! 👍 (Review not yet verified)

Amazing stylist

I really love the haircut Tomo gave me!! I'm chinese, though my hair is naturally wavy (been called "lion's mane" on a bad day), and I like a long, cute, fluffy hairstyle. I've been looking for a stylist for years and thank goodness I found Tomo! She's very sweet and kind. I have a bit of social anxiety but I feel calm around her. Tomo is meticulous and even 2-3 months later (I usually get a trim in that period), my haircut looks amazing. ❤️ (Review not yet verified)

Great Thanks to Tomo Stylist

My daughter and I have our hairdo with Tomo for more than a year now. There's always a pleasant surprise from each haircut. She's making slight and informed changes to the hairstyles. I'm keeping very short hairstyle, and have been enjoying the haircut experience. She's gentle and treats elderly with extra care. My haircuts are easy to manage. Thank you! (Review not yet verified)

Keratin treatment and haircut

Review for Glen

The keratin treatment here is a good deal, and I appreciated the time Glen took to use both the hairdryer and iron as part of the process. Also that he is not the type to overwhelm you with small talk. (Review not yet verified)

Review for Mira

Came in with a lion looking mane and walked out with sleek looking hair. Got Mira as my stylist for the session. Very attentive and was constantly checking on me to see if I was ok and if my hair length was what I wanted. Very pleasant lady and I definitely enjoyed my cut and treatment at this salon. Would totally recommend and come back too! (Review not yet verified)

Great Cut, Wonderful Service

I love the way Tomoka tackled my 'difficult' hair texture. She studied my face shape very carefully and gave me a cut that I felt really suited me. But more importantly, it was easy to maintain. Tomo's technical expertise is very deep. So, she knows how different hair textures fall on different parts of the head. For someone with smooth, silky hair, this is not an issue. But for someone with difficult hair texture, it is very important coz the hair will 'go all over the place' if not cut well. The bonus was that Tomo is very friendly and professional. You will feel very comfortable with her and confident you are in good hands. I have been back twice since and will go back to Tomo many more times! (Review not yet verified)

Great experience. She been my hair stylist for a couple of months now. Due to my sensitive skin, she is very careful in handling my hair not to touch my skin area. Recently, I have to attend my friend's lunch wedding, she also did my hair beautifully-casual yet with style. Love her attentiveness and being meticulous in her work. Strongly recommended for great service attitude. (Review approved by Beauty Undercover)

Impressive hair style and service by hair stylist, Tomo

Tomo impresses me yet again with a chic and stylish short haircut. Thus far, Tomo is the only hair stylist that I have encountered who is able to translate accurately what I have in mind to a great hairstyle that is stylish, fuss free and easy to maintain. She is versatile in her craft-I have no lack of compliments on my hair ever since I started to see her for the past 2 years for styles ranging from short to mid-length, straight to permed. Tomo is also professional in her suggestions and advice on hair treatment and services, and focuses on the best interest of hair health of her client. Best hair stylist ever!

Always great hair with Tomo

I only trust my hair with Tomo- she takes time to listen to what I want and advises the best way forward to have a hair that can be maintained easily and color that lasts for long + she cuts my hair flatteringly that suits my face shape. Always great service and easy to talk to her as well! Am so glad I found Tomo - highly recommend her if you are looking for a superb hairstylist in SG! It was honestly hard for me to find a good hairstylist until I found Tomo (Review not yet verified)

Damaged hair from rebonding

Review for Mira

Stylist claimed that fringe is merely unnrebonded when it was damaged through the rebonding. First fine experiencing damaged fringe from rebonding . Nevertheless would hope that the stylist own up and do a keratin or treatment to treat the kinky damaged hair. My bangs are quite ruined now from the rebonding (Review verified)

TOMO THE BEST STYLIST

I follow Tomo everywhere she goes and our relationship has been ongoing for 2 years, a testimony to her awesome-ness. Tomo is the most sincere, dedicated, experienced and meticulous stylist I ever met. When I first met her two years ago as a recommendation from a friend, my hair was unruly, unmanageable, and rough. But Tomo worked her magical gentle fingers on my hair patiently and tirelessly throughout our multiple sessions together, she literally “nursed” my hair back to healthy, strong and manageable condition, like never before. In fact, my hair sadly was so damaged, so Tomo had to troubleshoot and salvage my damaged hair. Through her tremendous effort and attentiveness, my hair is restored ! So grateful to have met her in Singapore and she’s a perfect empitome of the highest standard of a hair stylist/ “hair doctor”. I only trust my hair with Tomo. She’s truly amazing, on a personal note, she is personable, approachable, friendly and listens to my needs and she provides honest and sincere feedback and recommendation. no hard sell nonsense, everything is very transparent with Tomo. That’s what I really appreciate and like about her. i even recommended her to my mom and friends who visit her as well. Highly recommended Tomo! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Review approved by Beauty Undercover)
