Receive an unmatched
pampering experience
at the new And . A hair
salon, opened by coiffure
enthusiast Angela
Lee. With the salon’s
fastidious attention to
design and details, it has
thrown down the gauntlet
to other hair salons in
Singapore’s fashion
street to up their game.
...a lot of
attention has
been paid to
every single
detail to ensure
that a patron
gets only the
classiest service
possible.
Everyone deserves a little pampering.
That’s the philosophy of And . A,
a new, luxurious hair salon in
the Orchard Road shopping belt.
Conceptualised and designed with the
comfort of the patron first in mind,
And . A promises to revolutionise the
hair-styling landscape in Singapore.
While other salons focus mainly
on getting as many customers as
possible sitting and leaving their
chairs each day, And . A wants to
treat every customer the same way
the founder of the salon herself
would want to be treated when she
goes for a hair appointment.
“Everything you see in And . A has
been designed with the consumer’s
experience in mind. From the waiting
room where patrons can enjoy a
fragrant cup of gourmet coffee
before their treatments, to the
spacious salon chairs and individual
glass-walled hair washing areas,
a lot of attention has been paid to
every single detail to ensure that a
patron gets only the classiest service
possible,” founder and director
Angela Lee says.
Indeed, And . A has spared no
expense in attaining coiffure service
perfection.
In the spacious waiting room,
there are plush Ligne Roset
couches for patrons to sit on. The
piece de resistance is the limitededition Pierre Paulin Pumpkin red
wool armchair, two of only 150 in
the world.
While waiting, take your pick from an
experienced crop of hair stylists, all
of whom boast more than 10 years
of experience each in the industry.

Japanese trends from the runway
or prefer a more down-to-earth
yet stylish cut, And . A has a stylist
for your needs. At the moment,
there are three hair artistes on the
roster – Japanese, Malaysian and
Singaporean – but Angela reveals
that there are plans afoot to hire
more stylists from South Korea, Hong
Kong and other countries to cater to
different tastes.
before sending them back home or to
their next social engagement where
they can show off their carefullycoiffured mane.
Every patron’s space also comes
with a small see-through cabinet for
patrons to safely store their luxurious
Hermes Birkin or classy Chanel bags
while being pampered. Each cabinet
has been painstakingly measured
and designed to ensure it fits most
handbags perfectly.
Once that is done, your stylist will
lead you to your private glasswalled hair washing stations, a
deluxe enclave that provides you
with maximum elbow room. Sit
down on the state-of-the-art
Takara Belmont shampoo chairs
to enjoy the private avant-garde
hair-washing experience.
Once your indulgent session is
complete, you’ll be presented with
the bill for the services, not over the
counter, but at the posh waiting room
where you can relax in. Angela, who
is married with two children, also
understands the amount of
waiting that fathers and
children go through
when waiting for Mum
to complete her hair
treatment, which is why there
is more than enough space in the
waiting room for everyone to relax in.
