My Love Affair with JR Hair and Beauty Salon - How this former Jawed Habib Singapore Hair Salon won me over many others | A Hair Salon Review

Tucked away inconspicuously along Tanjong Katong Road is a gem of hair salon I discovered about seven years ago. The former Jawed Habib Hair and Beauty Salon (Singapore) has since May of this year, taken on a different moniker - JR Hair and Beauty Salon and is now relocated to just a short walking distance away from its previous location.

How my journey with them began...

It was an anxious day in 2015 when I first stepped into Denise's hair salon. I was planning to have a hair cut and that was a constant cause for anxiety because I had always felt deeply unsatisfied with all my previous hair cuts with other hairdressers. It made me wonder if there might actually be a salon somewhere that understands my 'Indian' hair and how best to style it. 

These constant dissatisfaction with my hair cuts pushed me to 'shop around' for some potential salons that might be more suitable for me and, lo and behold, I came across this helpful salon review for Jawed Habib Hair Salon which seemed to be an answer to all my hair problems! 

Without a second thought, I made an appointment and went down for a hair cut session. That was the first time I met Denise Scally, senior hair stylist and partner at the salon. And the rest, as they say, is history. 

From her first assessment of my hair and the styles she recommended that might be suitable for me, I knew I had found the place and person for my hair needs. And with that, a long-form relationship was forged between me and Denise that has seen us through important milestones in my life. 

She did my hair for my stint as a bridesmaid, for the countless weddings I attended, she was the one who readied my hair for my own wedding and commencement ceremony as well as the various shoots (for acting/modelling) that I had to go for.

Denise knows my hair type, preferences, personality like the back of her hands and has always been steadfast in recommending good hair styling options whenever I needed one. She has the knack to make you feel like her single most valued customer; it's no wonder I decided to stick with her salon when I never had with any others before. 

Oh and did I mention? She has done the hair of celebrities like Shreya Ghoshal and Neha Kakkar when they came to Singapore! **Me Gasping in Awe**

JR Hair and Beauty Salon has definitely taken on a new look since it was first opened.

Despite the change in location, in no way did I feel the difference. It is still the place of comfort I seek whenever I need to cut my pesky overgrown locks or hide those premature grey hair or simply to get a hair treatment.

So... I feel like I have found the right salon for my hair needs and here are some of my final thoughts of what makes JR Hair and Beauty Salon a great choice for me and possibly for you too!

1. Denise and the staff!

A large part of your salon experience has really got to do with the person taking care of you for the duration of your salon stay and I have always felt right at home with the staff of JR Hair and Beauty Salon. They make me feel comfortable and safe putting my hair in their hands.

Denise really understands my Indian hair perfectly! She always makes great suggestions of what will work well with my hair property and texture. I have not let anyone else cut my hair since I had my first taste of her extremely capable hands.
