A hair studio built on honest advice
A small studio at Far East Plaza, led by stylist Hong Yun, where most clients arrive by recommendation and stay for years.
Clients followed the stylist, then the studio
Y8 Hair Studio is Hong Yun’s studio. Many of the people in the chair today have been with him for years, some since before the move to Far East Plaza, and several say in their reviews that they no longer trust anyone else with their hair.
The newly renovated studio on Scotts Road keeps things small on purpose. Appointments are booked ahead on WhatsApp, so there is time for a proper consultation and no queue at the door.
To confirm with Y8: founding year and Hong Yun’s years of experienceFour things our clients notice
- Consultation
- Face shape, skin tone, hair texture and daily habits come first. The style and colour are recommended from those, not from a menu.
- No hard selling
- You are told what suits you and what it costs. Packages are there if you want them, never pushed.
- Honesty
- If a result is difficult, such as lifting a dark home dye, you hear that before you pay for it.
- Consistency
- The same stylist, visit after visit, who remembers what your hair did last time.
The stylists clients ask for by name
- Hong Yun
- Owner and senior stylist. Cuts, colour, smoothing and treatments.
- Xiao Long
- Men’s haircuts.
- Xiao Ze
- Colour, including fashion shades.
Going to Hong Yun for the past 4 years. Very consistent in recommending hairstyles and treatments that complement my face shape and hair texture.
He explained every step he was doing to my hair. Not pushy about their package, cosy environment and hospitality was really good.
I have been with Hongyun before he moved to this new location and I only trust him with my hair.
Based on your face shape, skin colour and habits he can create something that suits you.
Appointment booking is fuss free and he is always accommodating to last minute requests.
Newly renovated salon, and the stylists are very experienced with customising colours.
