The Base Salon is a neighbourhood hair salon in Clementi, Singapore, founded in 2017 with the aim of offering premium hair services at reasonable prices. The salon is doorstep from the Clementi bus interchange and Clementi Mall, and just a one-minute sheltered walk from Clementi MRT station.
Services range from haircuts — including styles like Mohawk fades and pomp fades — to hair colouring, with experienced stylists offering recommendations based on each customer's face shape and hair type. The salon states it only uses products it considers the best available for its customers.
Customer testimonials repeatedly single out stylists Tom Tam and Andy See by name, with several clients describing multi-year relationships with their stylist — one customer noting Tom Tam has cut their hair for five years, and another praising Andy See's consistent, professional recommendations over an extended period.
Since opening in 2017, The Base Salon has positioned itself as Clementi's neighbourhood hair salon, built around the idea of bringing premium hair services to the area at reasonable prices.
The salon sits at Blk 443 Clementi 3, doorstep from both the bus interchange and Clementi Mall, and just a one-minute sheltered walk from Clementi MRT station — the kind of location that makes it easy to fit a haircut into a commute or a shopping trip rather than requiring a special journey.
The Base Salon's haircut menu covers everything from classic styles to more specific requests like Mohawk fades and pomp fades, with stylists offering guidance based on a customer's face shape and hair type rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. For those wanting a change beyond a cut, the salon also offers full head colouring services for both men and women.
What stands out in The Base Salon's reviews is the loyalty clients show toward specific stylists. One reviewer describes having their hair cut by stylist Tom Tam for five years, noting that he continues taking courses to improve his craft. Another long-time client credits senior stylist Andy See with consistently recommending cuts that suit their appearance, describing him as someone whose professionalism has never let them down. A separate reviewer specifically praised Tom Tam's ability to handle dry, thick, curly hair — a texture that not every stylist handles well — after trying several other salons in the west of Singapore without the same results.
The Base Salon publishes its pricing directly: a men's cut runs $25, while a ladies' cut ranges from $27 to $35. Full head colouring starts from $88 for men and $109 for women, giving prospective customers a clear sense of cost before booking rather than needing to enquire first.
Beyond the cut itself, The Base Salon states it only uses products it considers the best available for its customers — a detail that speaks to the salon's broader positioning around quality within an affordable, neighbourhood-friendly price point.
Appointments can be made by phone or WhatsApp, with The Base Salon's convenient Clementi location making it a practical option whether you're a regular in the area or just passing through on your way to or from the MRT.
