Along the rather deserted Tanjong Pagar Road where sales promoters from various wedding studios eagerly pounce on unsuspecting couples venturing through the area, lies KIMarie, a hair salon and hair training centre.
Prices at the hair salon exceed our expectations as a budget couple who usually receives our haircuts for $10 and under at neighbourhood hairdressers and barbers, but we spied a good deal for a haircut at $8 in the training centre located on the second level.
Last Saturday, the two of us went on a little adventure to get our hair cut by trainees. It's the best haircut I've ever gotten, and it shaved eight years from my looks. At one point, a trainee seemed to have made a mistake, but the teacher easily rectified it. It was also the first time I've ever had two hairdressers - one teacher and one trainee - work on my hair at the same time.
Washing of hair takes place just outside the training centre - in another room, we think - and costs an additional $1.
A haircut costs $8, a perm at $35, dye at $29, and treatment (not sure what kind of treatment) at $25. There is also an all-year round 1-for-1 offer.
Don't expect excellent and prompt service; it is a training centre after all. But if you're looking for something different on a small budget, this is something to try out for a Saturday afternoon.
KIMarie is located at 95 Tanjong Pagar Road. You can get there by walking a short distance from Tanjong Pagar MRT Station Exit A on Tanjong Pagar Road. It is open on Mon, Wed, Fri from 10.00am - 9.00am; and on Tue, Thu, Sat from 10.00am - 5.00pm.
