HARTS Salon is a colour-specialist hair salon in Bugis, founded in 2016 by Noel Ng, who represented Singapore at WorldSkills — taking Gold in Hairdressing at WorldSkills ASEAN 2010 and the Medallion for Excellence at WorldSkills London 2011. His later honours include the 2013 Paul Mitchell Diamond Scissors Championship, the 2024 Spirit of Enterprise Award and the 2025 President's Challenge Fellowship, and he now conducts colour-analysis training for stylists across Singapore.
Colour is the heart of what they do. HARTS was the first salon in Singapore to introduce skin-tone analysis consultations, matching hair colour to your skin tone, face shape and lifestyle rather than to a trend photo. Every visit starts with a consultation, and recommendations are built around your natural features.
The salon is equally upfront about money: no packages and no hidden charges — every price is listed online and confirmed with you before any service begins. Stylists are grouped into four tiers (Stylist, Creative Stylist, Leading Stylist and Director), with pricing that rises with experience. The team trains continuously with leading Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese stylists and has won at the L'Oréal Style & Colour Trophy and the Milbon DA Grand Prizes, working with brands including Dyson and Milbon.
Signature services include the Full Head Bundle (colour, treatment, scalp protector and trim), HARTS Dimension pre-lighten and colour with a bond treatment, Hidden Colour for inner-layer pops, and the Glam Wave Perm. Guests are served complimentary coffee, Korean barley tea or cold peach tea during appointments, and the salon holds a 4.8 rating from more than 1,200 Google reviews — a two-minute walk from Bugis MRT Exit D.
HARTS Salon was founded in 2016 by Noel Ng, a hairdresser who represented Singapore on the world stage. At WorldSkills ASEAN 2010 he took Gold in Hairdressing, and at WorldSkills London 2011 he earned the Medallion for Excellence. Those competition roots still shape the salon today: stylists train continuously, compete in industry hair competitions, and have collected wins at the L'Oréal Style & Colour Trophy and the Milbon DA Grand Prizes.
Noel's own list of honours keeps growing — the Paul Mitchell Diamond Scissors Championship in 2013, the Spirit of Enterprise Award in 2024 and a President's Challenge Fellowship in 2025. Beyond the salon chair, he conducts colour-analysis training for stylists across Singapore, which says a great deal about where the salon's reputation comes from.
Colour is the heart of HARTS. The salon backs up its specialist label with a consultation process it pioneered locally: HARTS was the first salon in Singapore to introduce skin-tone analysis consultations, matching hair colour to your natural features rather than to a trend photo. Recommendations are based on your face shape, skin tone and lifestyle, so the shade you leave with is meant to work for how you actually live.
The same thinking drives the business model. There are no packages and no hidden charges — every price is listed online and confirmed with you before any service begins. Each visit starts with a consultation, so you always know what you're getting.
The menu revolves around bundles that combine the essentials. The Full Head Bundle covers colour, treatment, scalp protector and a basic trim. HARTS Dimension is the statement option: one-time pre-lightening, colouring and a bond treatment for lived-in brightness. Hidden Colour — the salon's take on inner-layer colour — comes in bleached and non-bleach versions for a subtle pop underneath. HARTS Rejuvenate and HARTS Revitalize focus on hair and scalp health, pairing scalp treatments or root retouches with nourishing treatments and trims.
For texture, the Glam Wave Perm combines a digital perm with treatment and a haircut for soft, lasting waves. À la carte services round things out: haircuts, wash and blow, styling, full head colour, highlights and balayage, toning, smoothening, keratin (Glamedy) and a full perm and rebonding line-up. Products are selected from Korea, Japan and Taiwan, and the salon partners with brands including Dyson and Milbon.
HARTS sits at #02-05 Tan Quee Lan Suites on Tan Quee Lan Street, roughly a two-minute walk from Bugis MRT Exit D — close enough for an after-work appointment. Weekday hours run 1pm to 9pm, while Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays open earlier, from 11am to 7pm. Booking happens over WhatsApp or by phone, and last appointment times vary by service, so it's worth checking before you plan a late slot.
Inside, stylists are grouped into four tiers — Stylist, Creative Stylist, Leading Stylist and Director — with prices rising by experience, so you can choose the level that fits both your budget and the complexity of your colour. You'll be offered a complimentary coffee, Korean barley tea or cold peach tea while you're in the chair.
The results speak loudest: the salon holds a 4.8 rating from more than 1,200 Google reviews and has been featured by CNA, AsiaOne, Zula, Daily Vanity, GirlStyle and Best in Singapore.
First-time guests get 15% off bundle services — mention "First-timer Promo" at the counter after your service. The same discount applies during your birthday month if you show your IC or Singpass. Referring a friend earns you 15% off too, provided they have a chemical service. Promos can't be stacked, and add-on top-ups such as extra colours or treatment upgrades aren't covered.
A few practical notes: digital perms and smoothening treatments aren't suitable for previously bleached hair, and waist- or hip-length hair carries a surcharge. If you're after bleach work like HARTS Dimension or Hidden Colour, book earlier in the day — those services take their last appointments well before closing. Whether you want a bold new colour, a subtle gloss or a perm that behaves, HARTS has built its name on doing one thing — colour — exceptionally well.
