How Much Does a Root Touch-Up Cost in Singapore? (2026)
A root touch-up in Singapore usually costs $80 to $120. Plan on about $100 at a typical salon, and about $30 more for an ammonia-free or organic colour.
But the same root touch-up starts at $58 at one well-reviewed salon in Little India and $135 at another near Somerset. Here’s what each budget gets you, and the best-reviewed salons at each price, from the menus of 104 salons we checked this month.

Every salon below is rated 4.7 or higher on Google with at least 100 reviews (when we checked) and prices its root touch-up on its own menu. Tap a salon to see its full menu and request a booking.
Under $80
What to expect: mostly neighbourhood salons, many in the east and north-east, with one flat price for a single colour on your regrowth. Only 1 of the 23 salons in this range prices by hair length. A good fit if you colour regularly and just need your roots matched to the rest.

$80 to $120
What to expect: where most salons sit, 61 of the 104. Most quote one price, but a few charge by how much regrowth you have, so book before it passes about an inch. Ask which colour brand they use if you want ammonia-free.

$120 and up
What to expect: the top fifth of salons, all of them in town. Prices here are often for a senior stylist or a premium colour line, so ask what’s included and whether your stylist’s grade changes the price.

4 things that change your bill
- How much regrowth you have. Some salons price by the inch, so a touch-up after six weeks can cost less than one after three months.
- Ammonia-free or organic colour. A gentler colour line usually adds about $30 at the same salon.
- Stylist grade. Senior stylists and directors charge more for the same touch-up, so ask who will do yours.
- “++” prices. A few salons quote “$50++”, which means GST, and sometimes a service charge, goes on top.

How we got these numbers: we read the published menus of 104 Singapore salons that offer a root touch-up (September to October 2026) and took each salon’s starting price. Bleach roots, packages with a cut or treatment, and men’s prices are left out; the full-head colour and highlights figures come from the menus behind our hair colour and highlights guides.
