Next

Located in where else but Holland Village, Next is a hair salon where you head to when you want pampering. It helps too if you have cash to spend. Located just above the Body Shop, it is swanky and posh to say the least. You can choose from quite a few people to tend to your tresses, the more experienced, the more cash you have to part with. However, even the cheapest come at a price of 30 odd dollars for a cut and wash, but to me, 30 odd dollars there is sufficient to get you a decent haircut already. Not bad at all.

You are immdiately ushered to a seat unlike that of typical salons--their seats are a rich bronze in colour with plenty of space and arm rests at the sides just like a one-sitter sofa. You get to pick a drink from a menu and they serve it in lavish glasses. There is even a huge couch behind for your friend who is waiting for you to get your hair done. It's so big your legs cant even reach the floor if you sit all the way in.

No one's in a rush in this salon. It is not your 10 minute cut and go. A wash and trim can take about one and a half hours, so do make time for it. The stylists are professional, often standing back to take a look at their "work of art", steadily constructing up the perfesct hairdo for you. & the hair wash was good. They massaged your scalp fairly long, making you so comfortable you could fall asleep. However, sometimes you get a little impatient as they can take too long to get just your fringe done. But hey, maybe all they want is the best for their customers...

Make time for the pampering. it will be worth it.
