Hair — like it or not, it’s one of your best features that can make or break your look.
Just like clothes, shoes and any other fashion accessories, a woman’s hair plays a major role in creating an entire ensemble. I am not sure about you but I am very picky with who touches my hair. Be it a haircut, colour treatment or wash and blow, I need to know who the stylist is and I need to be able to fully trust the stylist with my hair. It is after all, one of my most precious assets. Plus, with great style and care, your hair will look great and make you feel like you are worth a million bucks.
Since hair is now thought of as a symbol of beauty to a woman in terms of status and power, it is no surprise that there is rise in hair salons around town and the competition is steep.
Here is a list of the hair salons in the Klang Valley that my friends and I swear by.

Pretty popular amongt the public, Shawn Cutler has two outlets in Bangsar — one at Jalan Telawi 2 and one at Telawi Square so if one gets too crowded, you can always go to the other. There is also one in Damansara Heights. Open daily, Shawn Cutler is full of surprises — from the interior design to its hair stylists with magical fingers! Also known for their honest opinions, each stylist will let their customers know if the hair style or colour suits. Customers can also get a mani and pedi while waiting for their hair to be done.
Founded by Michael Cheow, C. Michael is without a doubt one of the upscale names when it comes to hair care. Known for its own line of hair products, C. Michael also does a brilliant job at colouring and cutting for a reasonable price so making reservations is highly recommended as compared to just walking in.
