Have you ever wondered what lies underneath the hijabs some Muslim women wear? In short, it’s usually hair. In long, you will find an entirely different galaxy of all lengths and colours. Muslim women are no strangers to outlandish haircuts and colours because they have that unfair but totally awesome advantage of being able to hide it away from the public eye if and when things do go wrong! Fret not; we have scoured the East, West, North, South and central regions, and have compiled a list (in no particular order!) to help you find your next favourite Muslimah hair salon in Singapore.
Muslim hijabi mums, please give yourselves a break and schedule an appointment at any of these salons that catch your fancy! Most of them are centrally located either within malls themselves, or in the vicinity of food shops and cafes, so your partners can babysit the kids and keep them entertained while you take some much needed time off to colour your tresses or indulge in a pampering hair spa treatment!
