Walking On Sunshine Review: 9,061 Reviews, and the Cafe Attached to the Salon (2026)
A salon with a kitchen, which changes how long you are willing to sit
Walking On Sunshine is a Korean salon on the third floor of Orchard Central, and its distinguishing feature is a cafe attached to the floor, so food and drinks arrive while you are in the chair. That matters more than it sounds for colour and perm work, which can run several hours. At 4.8 across 9,061 Google reviews it carries one of the largest review counts of any salon in Singapore, which makes the rating unusually well-evidenced.
you are booked in for a long colour or perm and would rather not sit through it hungry, or you want a Korean-style salon on Orchard.

Is Walking worth it? The math
The tiered menu is the honest part: a $50 cut and a $120 cut are the same salon and different chairs, so the number you should budget depends entirely on which stylist you book. Children get 50% off up to age 12 and 30% from 13 to 18, which is a real discount rather than a token one. Perm, rebonding and colour scale with hair length, and balayage and toner are quoted after a consultation rather than listed.

Good to know
What customers actually say
Nine thousand reviews is a large enough sample that the 4.8 means something, and the recurring themes are stylist skill and the cafe. People mention being fed mid-appointment more than they mention the haircut, which tells you what the differentiator actually is. The consistent caveat is the room: it is busy, and the quiet-salon experience is not what is on offer. Balayage and toner pricing arrives after consultation rather than up front.
