Kimistry Hair Salon
The founder still cuts hair here himself. People fly in from Kuala Lumpur and fit the appointment around the trip. Someone will bring you a lap cushion if you open a laptop. They take their time, so don't book this on a lunch break.
Come here if
- You want colour lifted carefully - even a bright shade out of previously black-dyed hair
- You're happy to sit for a long, unhurried session
- You want the founder or a senior cutting, and colour that grows out without a hard line
Maybe not if
- You're on a tight schedule - they take their time, so it's not a lunch-break appointment

What guests come here for
What people say
They explain what they are doing
The first ten minutes are questions about your face shape, your hair texture and how much time you really spend on your hair.
Halfway through, they'll put your hand on your own hair so you can feel what changed.
You leave knowing how to blow-dry it at home without a comb.
Regulars who stayed
Some clients have had the same stylist for ten years, and now bring their teenagers in.
Careful, detailed work
They work a section at a time and won't leave an uneven bit.
You get what you asked for
They can get a bright shade onto hair that was dyed black, lifting the old colour out evenly first.
How long it lasts
A cut still sits right months later.
Balayage grows out with no harsh line.
No hard sell
If the style you want won't suit you, they'll say so before they start.
Hair that needs fixing
After a keratin treatment people stop fighting their hair every morning.
Curly or textured hair
Long, curly or coarse hair that other salons struggled with gets a cut that suits how it grows.
The curls still behave after you wash them at home.
