Hougang Hair Salon Guide (2026): 6 Best Picks
Hougang is a hair town. Walk any of its HDB void decks and you will pass a salon every few blocks, many of them neighbourhood fixtures, at prices that make town salons look a little silly. The catch is that the good ones rarely shout about it. Most have no website and no booking page, so finding the right Hougang hair salon usually means asking a neighbour.
If you searched for a Hougang Mall hair salon, here is the honest answer first: none of our six picks is inside Hougang Mall itself. The mall’s hair tenants are mainly quick-cut and barber chains, and none made this shortlist. The salons below are spread across the estate’s HDB blocks and Hougang 1, a short bus ride or walk from the mall, and they are where the regulars actually go.
We went through every Hougang salon we have researched and kept the ones that hold up: strong Google ratings, real reviews and a clear reason to pick them. Every linked salon can be requested through Glamingo, so no more ringing the shop during opening hours.

A quick price anchor: across the published menus of 151 Singapore salons, a haircut usually starts at $40 to $70. The Hougang picks that publish prices start well below that.
1. Dreams Hair & Beauty Salon
Best for: Rebonding and colour, with straight talk and zero hard sell
On Hougang Ave 2, Dreams Hair & Beauty keeps everything on one printed price list, and it is one of the friendliest bills in the estate: a cut is $12 to $18 depending on hair length, or $18 to $24 with a wash and blow. Rebonding is the signature, and the menu runs to colour, perms, scalp treatments and a few facials. Reviewers return to the same points again and again: patient stylists, honest advice on shade and aftercare, and no pushing of packages. Linda is the stylist people come back to for cuts and colour.

2. Dreams House Hair Salon
Best for: A first perm, with patient stylists who listen
A different salon from the one above, despite the similar name. Dreams House opened in 2023 on Lorong Ah Soo, on the western edge of Hougang, and it is a quiet, clean shop where the stylists take time to listen to the style you describe. Reviewers say the prices feel reasonable, perms included, and recommend asking for Alan if it is your first one. Nails are done here too, so you can sort both in one visit.

3. Kenny Tan Hair Designer & Make Up Artist
Best for: Hair and make-up from one person before a wedding dinner or event
Kenny Tan works from Hougang Ave 4 as both a hair designer and a make-up artist, which makes him a handy call when you need a cut or styling with the face to match. He holds a 4.9 rating across well over a hundred Google reviews, one of the strongest records in the estate. He is not bookable on Glamingo yet, but he is too well rated to leave off a Hougang list.
Location: 605 Hougang Avenue 4, Singapore 530605
4. Reborn Hair and Beauty
Best for: A trusted neighbourhood cut from a salon that has been around since 2010
Reborn has been cutting hair on Hougang Ave 8 since 2010, which in heartland salon years makes it an institution. Its Google reviews flag friendly staff, good stylists and no hard selling. It is the kind of place you go for a regular trim and keep going back to.

5. Bloom Hair Place
Best for: Colour from a stylist who listens, at heartland prices
Bloom only opened around the end of 2025, yet it already holds a perfect 5.0 across more than a hundred Google reviews. Reviewers keep describing attentive, patient stylists, good hair colouring and no hard selling. The full price list is public: cuts from $18 for short hair, a senior cut from $12 and a kids’ cut under 12 at $10, with colour, perms, rebonding and keratin by length. It is open daily, which helps for weekend touch-ups.

6. QB House (Hougang 1)
Best for: A fast trim while you run errands at the mall
When all you need is a tidy-up, QB House at Hougang 1 is the quick option. The Japanese chain does a ten-minute, cut-only service with no shampoo or blow dry, at $14 for men and $18 for women. Expect a short queue at busy times, and keep it for maintenance rather than a new style.

Which Hougang salon is best for rebonding?
