Where a cut and blow starts, posted at the door

Sound familiar?

Why finding one stylist you trust is so rare.

A new stylist every visit

One regular says they have been with Amanda for many years, following in their sister's footsteps. Another says Amanda was the first stylist who understood their hair and them.

Being talked into more than you asked for

One reviewer put it plainly: Amanda doesn't hard sell or promote unnecessarily. The full price list is posted at the salon door.

A cut that looks nothing like the photo

One reviewer says the decisions were always jointly made, and what they discussed is what they walked out of the salon with, 99% of the time.

Face-framing layers, $42

"First time here and absolutely loved Amanda's work!! She's so careful with what she does and you can tell she's really passionate. My hair is really long so $42 for face-framing layers, a trim, wash, blow and neck & shoulder massage was a great deal."
Keisha Edwards Google

Honest, still deciding

"First attempt with the stylist Amanda. Quite happy with the chin length bob. Trim, wash, shoulder massage and blow dry within an hour, $32. Giving it a week of wash and wear to be sure, thus 4* for now instead of 5*. ... Reasonable prices."

01

You decide together

One reviewer suggests bringing a photo if it's your first time there, since it helps her better understand what you want.

No hard sell

One reviewer noted this directly: Amanda doesn't hard sell or promote unnecessarily. The full price list is posted at the salon door.

03

Fast, skilled hands

One reviewer describes her as working very fast and skilfully. Another's trim, wash, shoulder massage and blow dry was done within an hour.

04

A soothing finish either way

One reviewer says to go for the wash and cut to enjoy a very soothing head and shoulder massage. Two others mention a shoulder massage as part of their visit too.

The stylist behind the chair

Amanda's first shop on her own.

One long-time client describes Amanda's experience as commendable, with perm, straightening, colouring and treatment work all part of the last decade, and says this store is a salon she is starting out on her own.

Regulars follow her rather than the shop. One client says much of their extended family, from children to adults, also have their hair cut by her. Another has tried salons across Paragon, Plaza Singapura, Tiong Bahru and more, and says Amanda was the first stylist who understood their hair and them. She isn't the only pair of hands here either: one reviewer says a second stylist, Shawn, has been cutting their hair for years, and that both of them are always welcoming.

"Her prices are reasonable and she doesn't hard sell or promote unnecessarily. The store is bright, clean and spacious. ... She's new to the neighbourhood but definitely experienced in the industry."Wanqi Zhang
