De Arte Hair Studio is a Singapore hair salon chain that began at NEX in 2010 and has since grown to seven locations across the island, including Paya Lebar Square, Tampines 1, Jurong Point, Northpoint City, Pasir Ris Mall and Hillion Mall. With over 15 years in operation, the studio specialises in Asian hair and focuses on personalised attention, backed by a 5-Day Satisfaction Guarantee and a free consultation for every client.
The name "De Arte" is drawn from the Spanish phrase meaning "of art," and each letter of D-E-A-R-T-E is built into the studio's philosophy — from Design with Intention through to Essence of Satisfaction — reflecting an approach that treats every haircut, colour and treatment as a considered, personal piece of work rather than a routine service.
Services span personalised haircuts, hair colouring, hair retexturing, and hair and scalp treatments, including the award-recognised Argan Oil Texture Control treatment. Selected outlets — Hillion Mall, Jurong Point, Northpoint City, Pasir Ris Mall and Tampines 1 — also offer hijab-friendly private rooms sectioned off with curtains or partitions for added privacy. De Arte also sells its own range of haircare products, including lines from Miyaki and de LAMO.
De Arte Hair Studio's story began humbly at NEX in 2010. Over more than 15 years, the salon has expanded to seven locations across Singapore — Serangoon NEX, Paya Lebar Square, Tampines 1, Jurong Point, Northpoint City, Pasir Ris Mall and Hillion Mall — each designed as a comfortable, accessible spot for stress-free pampering.
De Arte takes its name from the Spanish phrase meaning "of art," and the studio has built its identity around the six letters of D-E-A-R-T-E: Design with Intention, Expression of Passion, Artistry in Motion, Revive with Care, Touch of Warmth, and Essence of Satisfaction. The philosophy frames every haircut, colour and curl as a considered piece of work rather than a routine transaction, with stylists described as artists rather than technicians.
De Arte's core services cover personalised haircuts (each preceded by a thorough consultation), hair colouring, hair retexturing inspired by Tokyo and Seoul trends, and hair and scalp treatments that include a complimentary scalp analysis from a hair specialist. The salon specialises in Asian hair, and one treatment in particular — the Argan Oil Texture Control treatment — has been recognised as an award-winning option for frizzy or textured hair.
Each De Arte outlet is designed with a calm, comfortable interior meant to offer a break from daily hustle. For customers who want extra privacy, hijab-friendly private rooms — sectioned off with curtains or partitions — can be requested at the Hillion Mall, Jurong Point, Northpoint City, Pasir Ris Mall and Tampines 1 branches. Every client is also offered a free consultation with an expert stylist, and the salon backs its work with a 5-Day Satisfaction Guarantee alongside a transparent, fair pricing policy with no hidden fees.
Beyond in-salon services, De Arte sells its own selection of haircare products, including the Miyaki Volume Mist and MIYAKI Anti-Aging Hair Tonic (formulated to help prevent hair loss), as well as the de LAMO CMC Treatment Serum and de LAMO Scalp Care Lotion. The salon also carries the Glosz and Shiseido brands through its online shop.
De Arte has built up more than 3,000 positive reviews from clients over the years, and its Argan Oil Texture Control treatment has been featured in third-party coverage of hair salons that treat frizzy hair. Customers can follow the salon's work on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Lemon8.
De Arte Hair Studio is open Monday to Friday from 10:30am to 9:00pm, and Saturday, Sunday and public holidays from 10:30am to 8:00pm. Appointments can be booked directly through the salon's website, with locations to choose from across Singapore.
