Salons at Waterloo Centre

Waterloo Centre is the 1970s block behind Bugis where the beauty is all word-of-mouth: long-running hair salons, bridal makeup artists, brow and nail studios stacked above a much-loved food court. Discovery here runs on Instagram and referral, not shopfront signage. Expect veteran hands, unfussy rooms, and heartland prices two minutes from Bugis MRT.
