Kushi's Beauty & Bridal Services in Hougang is the second outlet of a salon brand first established on 1 May 2006 at Yew Tee Square, with this branch serving the Hougang neighbourhood since 2009. From its unit at #01-277, 644 Hougang Ave 8, it offers a wide range of treatments: threading, facials in 60- and 90-minute sessions, waxing, bleaching, back treatments, eye treatments, hot oil massage and henna artwork, alongside exclusive packages.
The salon works to what its owners call a well-structured method of serving customers, and the menu reflects that: named facials for specific concerns such as Cheryl's Anti Acne for sensitive, breakout-prone skin, add-ons like collagen masks and acne ampoules, and clearly marked females-only back treatments. Eye care ranges from a Basic Eye Treatment for dark circles and puffiness to a Guasa Eye Treatment targeting eye bags and wrinkles.
Many customers come for everyday grooming — threading and waxing — while henna artwork and the bridal services in the salon's name round out the offering for weddings and special occasions. Promotions, a gallery of past work and a FAQ are available on the brand's website.
Kushi's Beauty & Bridal Services has been part of Singapore's neighbourhood beauty landscape for more than fourteen years. What began as a single salon in 2006 is now a small group with two branches, and the Hougang outlet at #01-277, 644 Hougang Ave 8 carries the full range of treatments the brand has become known for.
The story starts on 1 May 2006, when Kushi's was established at Yew Tee Square as a sole proprietorship. Three years later, in 2009, a second outlet opened to serve residents in Hougang. More than a decade on, the owners describe the business simply: over fourteen years in the market, making the most of every customer who walks in.
That ethos shows up in what the salon calls a well-structured method of serving customers — a way of working designed to deliver results in line with expectations. It is also visible in the menu itself, which is organised into clear families: facial services, back treatments, eye treatments, threading, waxing, bleaching, henna artwork and exclusive packages, with straightforward notes on what each involves and which treatments are for female clients only.
Facials are the heart of the menu, offered in both 60-minute and 90-minute sessions. The salon describes a facial as a relaxing cleansing process that exfoliates, hydrates and nourishes the skin — a genuine reset, whether you are a first-timer or a monthly regular.
Within the facial menu there are named options for particular concerns. The Alpha Hydroxyl Acids (AHA) facial works to improve the action of the capillaries, along with skin texture and tightening. The Banana facial makes use of banana's natural exfoliating quality to slough off excess sebum. Cheryl's Anti Acne is formulated specifically for sensitive skin that is more prone to blackheads and pimples.
Every facial can be tailored with add-ons — an acne ampoule, collagen masks, or serum applied with ultrasonic — so a standard appointment can be adjusted to whatever your skin needs that month.
Eye treatments form a category of their own. They are designed to reduce swelling, drain excess fluids from the lymph nodes, and cleanse and exfoliate the delicate skin around the eyes. The Basic Eye Treatment works on dark circles and under-eye puffiness, while the Guasa Eye Treatment with 5 Efficacious targets eye bags, dark circles and wrinkles.
Back treatments tackle what the salon calls 'that hard to reach area' with a cleansing process that exfoliates, hydrates and nourishes the skin. The Back Scrub combines cleansing with a whitening scrub and whitening mask; the Full Back Treatment is a deep-cleansing option that helps clear blocked pores. Both are marked for female clients only.
Day-to-day grooming is where many customers start. Threading and waxing are core services, with bleaching also on the menu, and a hot oil massage listed among the more relaxing offerings.
The bridal half of the name is taken just as seriously. Henna artwork is a signature of the brand — traditional hand-applied henna that features prominently in its online gallery and social media — and it sits naturally alongside the bridal services the business is named for.
The Hougang salon sits at #01-277, 644 Hougang Ave 8, an easy stop for residents going about their day in the neighbourhood. Some visits are quick — a threading or waxing appointment between errands — while others are unhurried 90-minute facials or treatments drawn from the salon's exclusive packages.
Before visiting, it is worth checking the promotions page on the website for current deals. For a sense of the salon's work — particularly the henna — the gallery and media pages, along with the brand's Facebook and Instagram accounts, show plenty of examples, and a FAQ page answers common first-timer questions.
With one branch rooted in Yew Tee and this one in Hougang, Kushi's has quietly served Singapore's heartlands for years. For locals, it offers an unusually complete menu under one roof: precision threading, facials in two lengths, targeted eye and back care, and henna for the big occasions — all delivered with the structured, dependable approach the brand has practised since 2006.
