Occasions we style hair for
Every big day has its own mood, and we style for all of them in-salon. Whatever you're celebrating, we'll shape a look that suits the moment:
- ROM (Registration of Marriage) — a fresh, elegant style for a more intimate ceremony, whether that's at the Registry, a restaurant or a small gathering. See our ROM hairstyle ideas for inspiration.
- Wedding day — the full bridal look that has to last from morning prep through the ceremony and dinner.
- Tea ceremony — a neat, respectful style that pairs beautifully with a qun kua or cheongsam.
- Pre-wedding & photoshoots — styling that photographs well and holds for a long shoot day.
- Galas & D&Ds — glamorous event hair styling for company dinners, balls and award nights.
- CNY & festive occasions — a special-occasion finish for the celebrations; our Chinese New Year hairstyle guide has plenty of ideas.
Whatever the event, the goal is the same: a style that looks like the best version of you and stays put through the day.
The consultation and hair trial
Great wedding hair rarely happens on the day with no plan. We start with a proper consultation so we understand the look you have in mind, the event, and what your hair can realistically do.
Bring along anything that helps us picture it — photos of styles you love, a snap of your dress or outfit, and your venue details. We'll talk through your hair's length, thickness and texture, whether you want it up, down or half-up, and how you'd like it to feel.
Why a hair trial helps
For a wedding day especially, we strongly recommend a hair trial before the date. A trial lets us test the actual style on your hair, see how it sits and holds, and make adjustments calmly — rather than discovering on the morning that something doesn't sit the way you hoped. It also settles the nerves: you walk into your big day already knowing how you'll look. Contact us to arrange a consultation and trial that fits your timeline.
Choosing a style for your dress, face and venue
The right bridal style isn't just about a pretty picture — it's about how the look works with everything else on the day. We help you choose with three things in mind:
Your outfit and neckline
A high or detailed neckline often suits hair worn up or swept to one side, while a simple gown can carry soft waves worn down. For a tea ceremony in a qun kua, a cleaner, more structured style usually sits best.
Your face shape and features
We'll suggest a shape that flatters you — height and softness around the face, or a sleeker silhouette — rather than forcing a trend that doesn't suit you.
Your venue and the weather
An outdoor or garden setting in Singapore's humidity calls for a style built to hold, while an air-conditioned ballroom gives a little more freedom. The popular options we style include:
- Updos — classic, secure and elegant for a long day.
- Soft waves — romantic and natural, worn down.
- Half-up styles — the best of both, with movement and security.
- Sleek looks — polished and modern, lovely for ROM and galas.
Prepping your hair before the big day
The healthiest, most photogenic bridal hair starts well before the styling chair. Good condition and the right colour timing make a real difference on the day, so it's worth planning ahead.
Colour timing
If you'd like fresh colour, grey coverage or a glossy refresh for the wedding, time it so it looks settled rather than brand-new. We generally suggest having your final colour service done a week or two before the event — long enough to settle and tone, close enough to look fresh in photos. Tell us your date and we'll plan the colour calendar with you.
Condition and shine
Healthy hair holds a style better and catches the light beautifully in photos. In the weeks before, a smoothing or repair treatment can tame frizz and add shine — a real help in our humidity. We'll advise honestly on what your hair actually needs rather than upselling, and on simple at-home care to keep it in top shape until the day.
How our Orchard location helps
On a wedding or event morning, the last thing you want is a long, stressful trek across the island. Being in the heart of Orchard makes the logistics easier for you and your bridal party.
We're at 360 Orchard Rd, #01-15 International Building, Singapore 238869, an easy walk from Orchard MRT and central to the hotels, restaurants and photo spots along the Orchard belt. That means a shorter, calmer journey to your styling appointment, and a convenient meeting point if your bridesmaids or family are getting ready nearby.
Because we're a full salon and barber under one roof, the groom or the men in the party can sort their hair in the same trip too. To be clear and honest, we style in-salon rather than quoting on-location services here — contact us to discuss your date, timing and what suits your plans.
Booking ahead for wedding and festive season
Wedding and festive dates fill up fast, and the most popular Saturdays, auspicious dates and the run-up to Chinese New Year are the first to go. The earlier you reach out, the easier it is to secure the slot you want — and to fit in a trial beforehand.
- Plan early — once you have your date, get in touch so we can pencil in your styling and any trial.
- Leave room for a trial — ideally a few weeks before the wedding, with time to tweak.
- Account for colour and treatments — book these in the right window before the day, not at the last minute.
- Festive periods book out — ROM dates around long weekends and styling around CNY go quickly.
We're open Mon–Fri 9:00am–7:30pm and Sat–Sun 10:30am–7:00pm. Call +65 8335 1511 or get in touch to talk through your date and reserve your spot early.

Frequently asked questions
Do you do ROM hair styling?
Yes. We style hair for ROM ceremonies regularly, from soft, natural looks to sleek and elegant styles. Bring a photo of your outfit and any inspiration, and we'll shape something that suits the day. You can also browse our ROM hairstyle ideas for inspiration.
Should I do a hair trial before my wedding?
We strongly recommend it, especially for the wedding day itself. A trial lets us test the exact style on your hair, see how it sits and holds, and make any tweaks calmly before the date, so there are no surprises on the morning.
How far ahead should I book bridal or event hair?
As early as you can once you have your date. Popular Saturdays, auspicious dates and the run-up to CNY book out first, and booking early also leaves room for a trial and the right colour or treatment timing.
Can I colour or treat my hair before the wedding?
Yes, and we'll help you time it. We generally suggest a final colour service a week or two before the event so it looks settled but fresh, and a smoothing or repair treatment in the weeks before to add shine and tame frizz. Tell us your date and we'll plan the schedule.
Do you style the bridal party too?
We can. As a full salon and barber in Orchard, we welcome bridesmaids, family and the men in the party. Let us know how many of you there are and your timing when you get in touch, and we'll talk through what's possible for your date.
Do you offer hair and makeup?
Our focus is hair styling — updos, waves, half-up and sleek looks for weddings, ROM and events. We don't claim a fixed makeup package here; contact us to discuss your styling needs and we'll let you know how we can help.
How much does bridal or event hair cost?
Prices vary by the style, your hair length and whether you'd like a trial, so we don't quote a fixed figure here. We're a mid-premium ($$) salon in Orchard. Contact us on +65 8335 1511 to discuss your date and get an accurate quote.
