Kimage Review: Ten Studios Behind an EduTrust Hairdressing School (2026)
The school is the reason to consider the salon
Kimage runs ten studios across Singapore under the same brand as its hairdressing school, which holds EduTrust certification from the Committee for Private Education and was the first hairdressing school in Singapore to get it. That matters more than it sounds: it means the stylists working the floor were trained in-house to a certified standard rather than hired in from wherever. Services cover cuts, colouring, perming, straightening, rebonding and treatments, including keratin work for frizz and a thinning-hair treatment.

Is Kimage worth it? The math
There is no rate card, and that is a deliberate model rather than an omission: combined perm, treatment and cut packages are priced to the state of your hair, which is defensible for chemical work and awkward if you are comparing salons on price. The offsetting value is the training pipeline. An EduTrust-certified school feeding ten studios is a real quality-control mechanism, and it is the thing a single independent salon cannot offer.
What they do

Good to know
What customers actually say
Reviews are spread thinly across ten separate studio listings rather than pooled, so there is no single reliable number and the experience varies by branch and by stylist. What recurs across them is the training: customers mention stylists explaining what they are doing, which is consistent with a school-backed operation. The recurring friction is pricing, since nothing is published and the quote arrives after the consultation.
