Hair Professor is a full-service hair salon in Novena, Singapore, established in 2018 and located at 1 Goldhill Plaza, #01-03. Open every day from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm — public holidays included — it has become a go-to neighbourhood salon for cuts, colour and texture work.
The team behind the chairs has been collaborating for nine years, with experience extending to stage modeling, magazine shoots, live performances and hair shows. Salon director Pearly Chha brings more than 25 years in the industry, director stylist Teddy Cheah is known for patient, detail-oriented work shaped around each client's hair texture and face shape, and master stylist Yenny Yap adds over a decade of creative styling experience.
Services cover the essentials and beyond: professional haircuts, customized colour, perms for soft waves, straightening for a sleek polished finish, nourishing treatments and VIP packages. Clients describe a neat, clean space with friendly, attentive stylists — several have trusted the team with their hair for a decade or more, and some bring the whole family.
Appointments can be booked by phone, email, WhatsApp or the website's contact form. The salon's mission is simple: to empower every client to reveal their best self — and, as they put it, let your hair do the talking.
Hair Professor sits at 1 Goldhill Plaza on the Novena side of Singapore, a full-service hair salon that has been part of the neighbourhood since 2018. The name is playful, but the intention behind it is serious: a team of experienced stylists who treat every head of hair like a subject worth studying. Their banner puts it simply — let your hair do the talking.
What sets the salon apart starts with the team itself. The stylists at Hair Professor have been collaborating for nine years — a partnership that took shape before the salon opened its doors — and their combined résumé stretches well beyond the salon floor: stage modeling, magazine shoots, live performances and hair shows. That background shows up in everyday appointments, where the work is less about chasing trends and more about translating them to the person in the chair.
Salon director Pearly Chha brings more than 25 years in the industry. Her stated philosophy is that a brief encounter can brighten someone's day, and that close client relationships — built on attentive listening — are the heart of good service. Her sign-off says it all: may every day be a great hair day for you.
Director stylist Teddy Cheah is the salon's craftsman, an advocate of patience, diligent work and continuous learning. The client reviews testify to the long relationships he builds: one has trusted him for more than ten years, through long hair, bangs, bobs and French bobs — and her husband has been his customer for over a decade too. Teddy takes client requests and layers them with his own expert input, factoring in hair texture and face shape before making a single cut.
Master stylist Yenny Yap rounds out the leadership team with over a decade of industry experience and an integral role in the Hair Professor team. Clients mention her by name for good reason: one walked in on a busy public holiday afternoon just trying her luck, was fitted into Yenny's schedule, and left with exactly the concave bob she had asked for. Long-time clients also recommend Carol, whose cuts and colours have, in one review, drawn compliments from strangers.
The service list covers the full spectrum of salon work. Haircuts are the backbone: professional, modern cuts shaped to the individual. Colour services range from refreshed tones to creative, customized looks. Texture work runs both ways — perms for those after effortless, beautiful waves, and professional straightening for silky, smooth, polished hair. Treatments keep hair healthy between transformations, and VIP packages bundle the salon's services for clients who want a complete refresh.
The testimonials on the salon's site read less like marketing and more like thank-you notes. Neat and clean, one client writes of the space, praising the ultra-friendly vibes of the team and the bosses. Another describes walking out looking so good, appointment after appointment, for years. The recurring theme is trust: clients return for a decade or more, bring their families, and hand their hair over with confidence.
Hair Professor keeps generous hours: 11:00 am to 8:00 pm, every day of the week, public holidays included. That makes it easy to fit an appointment in after work or on a day off. Bookings can be made through the contact form on the salon's website, by phone at +65 62503389, by email at hairprofessorsg@gmail.com, or via WhatsApp.
The salon's mission is disarmingly direct: to empower you to reveal your best self. In practice, that means listening stylists, honest recommendations and hair that gets noticed for the right reasons. Whether you are after a disciplined trim, a bold new colour, soft perm waves or sleek straight hair, the team treats each appointment as a collaboration — your request, their expertise, one great hair day at a time.
