Midori's Japanese Hair Salon is found at 238 Thomson Road, #03-43/44, in Novena, Singapore, and holds a 4.9 rating on Google.
Japanese hair salons have a reputation for precision, with stylists who work carefully and often check the cut dry to see how each section falls, so the shape still holds as it grows out. They are also known for chemical services such as straightening and digital perms, which many people find helpful in Singapore's humidity. A good salon of any style starts with a proper consultation — your routine, your hair's history — before the scissors come out. Regulars tend to settle on one stylist they trust and rebook before leaving.
For those in Novena, Midori's on Thomson Road is a well-rated place to try that approach for yourself.
