Hair colouring services at Kimage
- Single shade. One permanent colour from root to tip, no bleach. The usual choice for going from black to a soft brown.
- Root retouch. Colours about 1 inch of regrowth. Most people need one every six to eight weeks.
- Highlights and balayage. Highlights are placed in sections for clear contrast. Balayage is hand-painted onto the surface, so it blends softly and grows out without a hard line.
- Pre-lightening and bleach. For shades lighter than your hair can reach on its own. Extra rounds of bleach are priced as add-ons.
- Creative colour. Pinks, purples and blues, with two rounds of bleach included. These semi-permanent shades fade in about 2 to 4 weeks.
- Colour refresh. Brightens faded colour and brings back shine, but won't change new root growth.

Kimage Salon Hair Colouring prices in Singapore
Last updated: October 2026

Three things move your hair colouring cost. Stylist level is the first: Senior stylist prices include a haircut, while Leading, Master and Principal prices don’t. Bleach is the second: any shade that needs bleaching is treated as a technical colour, so it’s priced as balayage plus the bleach rounds, whatever shade you’re going for. Length is the third: rates cover hair to mid-back (bra level), root retouch covers hair to underarm level, and longer hair carries a surcharge.
Junior stylists colour selected shades only, so for ash or bleached shades, DM us a photo on
Instagram first. Full rates are on our
Senior stylist and
Junior stylist pages.
Do you need bleach? How we decide during consultation
Dark Asian hair holds a lot of warm pigment. Ash, grey, blonde and pastel can't show until that pigment is lifted, which is what bleach does. Medium to dark browns like chocolate or chestnut can often go on without it.
Your history matters too. Colour can't lift colour, so if you've dyed your hair dark before, you may need bleach even for a brown.
Before anything is mixed, your stylist does a consultation and scalp analysis, checking your natural level, any old colour in the lengths and how your ends feel. When bleach is needed, we condition the hair before colouring and treat it afterwards.

Our colour stylists and salon locations
If you're looking for the best salon for hair colouring in Singapore, check for four things: a proper consultation, published prices, real work by named stylists and a guarantee. A cheap hair dye salon in Singapore that skips the consultation often costs more later in colour correction.
You'll find our stylists' colour work in our guides, including Master Stylist Jefernie at Lot 1, Leading Stylist Irene at Parkway Parade, Principal Stylist Yvonne at Bukit Panjang and Senior Stylist Joanne at Northpoint.
We have eight outlets: Northpoint City, Parkway Parade, Tampines, Toa Payoh, Marina Square, Tiong Bahru Plaza, Lot 1 Shoppers Mall and Bukit Panjang Plaza. If you're not happy with a service, return within 10 days for a complimentary solution, subject to terms. Find your nearest hair colour salon in Singapore on our
locations page.
Caring for coloured hair
Humidity, sun and daily washing all speed up fading. Use a shampoo made for coloured hair, rinse with cool water and apply a heat protectant before hot tools. A weekly hair mask helps too, especially after bleach.

FAQ
How much is hair colouring in Singapore?
At Kimage, it starts at $80 for a root retouch with a Junior stylist, or $120 with a Senior stylist and above. Bleach, hair length and stylist level raise the price.
Which Kimage salons do hair colouring?
All eight outlets. Junior stylist services are available everywhere except Parkway Parade.
Does hair colouring damage hair?
Non-bleach colour is gentle. Bleach weakens hair, so we condition before colouring and treat afterwards.
Do I need a scalp treatment before colouring?
It isn't required. Your stylist checks your scalp during the consultation and will tell you if a
scalp treatment would help.
