LuxeXcellence_Hair Studio is a hair salon reached through the back door of Goldhill Plaza, 163 Thomson Road, Novena, Singapore, and it carries a 4.9 rating on Google. A good salon visit starts before the scissors come out: bring a photo, but also talk through how your hair actually behaves, because Singapore's humidity can undo a cut that suits a drier climate within days. Regulars tend to stay with one stylist who has learned their hair over several visits, so it is worth asking whether you will see the same person each time. The clearest sign of a keeper is a frank consultation — realistic advice about what your hair will do, not just agreement with whatever you ask for. Tucked behind Goldhill Plaza just off Thomson Road, it is an easy salon for anyone living or working around Novena to keep coming back to.
