Karva Salon for Ladies is a Muslimah/Hijab-friendly hair salon and beauty spa in Singapore, describing itself as a ladies-only sanctuary where 'all ladies are welcomed with an open heart.' The brand frames its work as 'Beauty That Empowers,' offering hairstyling, scalp treatments, nail care, and Sothys facials designed to help clients feel confident and radiant.
Karva operates across seven Singapore outlets: Arab Street (Beauty & Wellness), Bukit Panjang Plaza, Causeway Point, Northpoint City, Sengkang Grand Mall, Century Square, and Plaza Singapura — with the Century Square and Plaza Singapura locations specifically noted as 'Salon for Family.' The salons position themselves around international styling experience, personalised consultations that take individual hair type and concerns into account, a luxurious in-salon atmosphere, and haircare products sourced from France.
Beyond the salon chair, Karva partners with the Pertapis Centre for Women & Girls to provide underprivileged women with hairstyling and beauty skills training, aiming to help them build brighter futures. Karva also runs an online store selling its own KARVA-branded products alongside brands including Kérastase, L'Oréal, Davines, TARA, Zahara, Sothys Paris, Siti Khadijah and Wardah, organised by hair type and concern — covering hair loss, thinning hair, colour-treated hair, frizz, dryness, damage, dandruff, greasy scalp, and itchy/sensitive scalp.
Karva Salon for Ladies positions itself as a haven for women in Singapore, describing its mission simply as 'Beauty That Empowers.' It's a Muslimah and Hijab-friendly salon, built as a ladies-only sanctuary where the brand says 'all ladies are welcomed with an open heart.'
Karva operates seven outlets across the island: Arab Street (billed as Beauty & Wellness), Bukit Panjang Plaza, Causeway Point, Northpoint City, Sengkang Grand Mall, Century Square, and Plaza Singapura. Two of these — Century Square and Plaza Singapura — are specifically labelled 'Salon for Family,' distinguishing them from the ladies-only format at the other locations.
Karva highlights four things it says set it apart: international experience and access to innovative technology and trends; personalised consultations where stylists examine hair type and concerns before proposing solutions; a luxurious, sophisticated in-salon atmosphere designed for clients to relax; and haircare products sourced exclusively from France to ensure quality.
The salon's offering spans hair and scalp services alongside face and body treatments. On the hair side, this includes expert hairstyling and revitalising scalp treatments, catering to specific concerns such as hair loss, thinning hair, colour-treated hair, frizz, dryness, damage, dandruff, greasy scalp, and itchy or sensitive scalp. Beyond hair, Karva also offers meticulous nail care and rejuvenating Sothys facials as part of its face and body services.
Karva runs an online store alongside its physical salons, selling its own KARVA-branded products together with a curated set of other brands: Kérastase, L'Oréal, Davines, TARA (women's wellness), Zahara, Sothys Paris, Siti Khadijah, and Wardah. Shoppers can browse by brand or search by hair type and concern to find suitable products. The store also sells e-vouchers, gift vouchers, and bundle sets, and customers who sign up to the Karva newsletter get 5% off online orders.
Karva frames its work as going beyond the salon chair. Through a partnership with the Pertapis Centre for Women & Girls, the brand provides underprivileged women with hairstyling and beauty skills training, aiming to help them build brighter futures — part of what Karva describes as using beauty to create 'confidence, strength, and creating positive change.'
For customer enquiries, Karva runs live chat support Monday to Friday from 9am to 7pm, and Saturday, Sunday and public holidays from 11am to 6pm. Appointments can be booked online for any of the seven outlets, and the salon can also be found on Facebook and Instagram.
