Why Early Booking at a Hair Salon in Singapore Is Essential This Holiday Season

People are already getting ready for holiday gatherings with friends and family. Along with decorating their homes and planning festive outfits, many are also looking to refresh their hairstyles. During this season, our hair salon in Singapore tends to fill up quickly, especially in the week leading up to Christmas and New Year. We see clients coming in for a haircut, a new hair color, added texture and volume through a perm, or a much-needed hair treatment with their favorite Kimage Salon hairdresser.

While booking last minute is completely understandable, especially with unpredictable schedules, there are clear benefits to reserving your slot early at a trusted hair salon in Singapore.

In this blog post, we’ll walk through why scheduling ahead matters and how long each hair service typically takes to show its best results. 

Book your appointment here.

1. The holiday season is a busy time for a lot of hair salons in Singapore

During this period, many of our clients come in for a hair refresh or a completely new hairstyle before their holiday festivities or upcoming trips. Because many of them work a regular 9–5 schedule, the late-afternoon slots and weekends fill up quickly. 

Our returning clients who come in for their usual hair maintenance also pre-book their appointments with their preferred Kimage Salon hairdresser. That’s why we highly recommend booking online in advance for a stress-free appointment with your hairdresser.

2. Some hair services need settling time

Some hair services don’t look their best right away, and that’s completely normal. Every service has its own “settling time,” and understanding this helps you plan your holiday look better. At our hair salon in Singapore, we offer everything from hair coloring and perming to treatments and straightening, and each one needs a bit of time to fully show its final result. 

Here’s a simple breakdown of what to expect:


  • Hair color: Most colors soften and look more natural after a couple of washes. You’ll usually notice the true tone around day 3 to 5. Some clients also come back for a quick toning session if they feel their shade needs to be slightly adjusted. 

  • Hair perm: Fresh curls are always tighter at the start. They relax and look more natural after a few days. We recommend waiting at least 72 hours before washing your hair. And if you absolutely must swim during that time, wearing a cap is a must.

  • Hair treatment: Depending on the treatment, it can take around 3 to 7 days to settle. Some require avoiding hair washing for the first 24 hours so the product can fully absorb and do its job.

3. Flexibility to select your desired branch, stylist, and ideal time

By booking ahead, you get more flexibility to choose the branch closest to you, your preferred hairdresser, and the time slot that fits your schedule.

Kimage Salon has several hair salons across Singapore, giving you multiple convenient options. We also offer a free online consultation to help match you with the right stylist for your desired haircut.

For example, if you want bold ombre colors, we have select stylists who specialise in that. If it’s your first visit, simply send us a message on Instagram @kimagegroup, and our customer service team will recommend the best outlet and hairdresser for you.

4. Ensures enough time for adjustments or aftercare

If you are planning a vacation, whether out of town or overseas, booking ahead gives your hair enough time to settle and reach its best result. It also allows you to follow the recommended aftercare routine, including using the right hair care products or making any necessary adjustments suggested by your hairdresser. This helps your hair look its best and prevents any last-minute stress before your departure date. 

5. Better planning if you want to do multiple services

If you’re due for a hair color refresh and also want a hair treatment to address damage, booking early gives you more time to plan when to do each service. Some services take longer depending on your hair condition.

For example, hair coloring can take around 2 to 3 hours. If you’re also planning to add a treatment before your holiday events, scheduling ahead ensures you have enough time to complete each service comfortably.
