We’ve all gone for a hair cut at a salon before and my favourite parts had always been anything but the cut itself. I loved the hair wash, and I loved the blowout styling at the end. These guys make me feel like I’ve done it all wrong – they make my hair feel and look so much healthier and lighter than if I did it on my own.<\/p>\n

It hadn’t really occured to me that all these salons probably provide this service without the cut, until I came to Shanghai. The prices for a hair wash and styling were advertised everywhere by the salons, and boy were they incredibly affordable (The lowest I’d seen was RMB15, which translates to around S$3).\u00a0With prices like that, you’d understand why my friend’s grandma never washes her hair by herself. Such a\u00a0tai tai<\/em>.<\/p>\n Flying into Singapore quite soon after my finger was accidentally cut in the freak accident <\/a>and not being able to properly wash and style my hair, a luxury turned into somewhat of a need. Singapore being such a humid city, I feel the need to wash my hair everyday or every two days at the bare minimum. So the lower the price, the better for me.\u00a0I started actively looking around for the cheapest hair washes in town. The average prices of a wash and blow in Singapore is around S$25-30. However, looking deeper into the heartlands and the neighbourhood salons, some of the prices go far lower, which is a real deal for Singapore.<\/p>\n Some of the deals I’ve come across so far – KIMarie Hairdressing is currently having a promotion of S$7 for their wash & blow, or a normal cut at NEX Mall. Three different salons in Tanjong Pagar Plaza are offering wash & blow at their regular prices of only S$9. Lastly, I’d also gotten suckered (not by the stylists, but myself) into adding a hair treatment service to my wash and blow experience at Cr\u00e8me Hairdressing for just S$28, which was a nice treat and probably the cheapest hair treatment I’ve done for my hair.<\/p>\n Instead of heading straight for a cut every time I start hating my hair, I now settle for this cheaper alternative. There’s still always the chance that my hate doesn’t lessen. But that’s when I’d ascertain it’s time for more drastic change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’ve all gone for a hair cut at a salon before and my favourite parts had always been anything but the cut itself.
