Understanding Hair Dye Services
At Session Salon, we offer various hair dye services designed just for you. You can pick from semi-permanent, demi-permanent, or permanent options based on how long you’d like your color to stay. If you’re looking for something low-commitment, we also have temporary dye available for a fun change.
Types of Hair Dye
1. Semi-Permanent Dye: This choice lasts around 4 to 6 weeks and is a favorite among many in Singapore, with roughly 40% opting for it due to its easy upkeep. This dye is perfect if you want a fresh change without the long-term commitment. Prices start at about SGD 100 at our salon.
2. Demi-Permanent Dye: This option lasts up to 12 weeks, offering vibrant color while requiring less maintenance. It’s gentle on your hair and provides a subtle tone change, which is great for those wanting a richer shade without drastic shifts.
3. Permanent Dye: Just like the name suggests, this dye offers long-lasting color. It’s ideal for covering greys or making a big change. The cost is higher, ranging from SGD 150 to SGD 250 depending on the complexity, but it gives you the boldest results.
Temporary vs. Permanent
If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, temporary dye is a fantastic choice for trying something new without feeling tied down. It usually washes out in just one to two shampoos, which is great if you want to have some fun for a night out or a special occasion. Many people appreciate this flexibility, especially with ever-evolving hair color trends.
With so many options at your fingertips, you can find the right dye service for your personal style at Session Salon. After all, about 67% of women in Singapore have tried hair dye at least once, why not join in? [1]
Choosing the Right Colour
Choosing your hair color is all about finding a shade that matches your skin tone and features while considering your hair’s health. A handy rule is to select colors that complement or contrast your natural tones to create a balanced look.
Skin Tone Considerations
First, figure out your skin tone, which can be warm, cool, or neutral. Warm tones shine with golden blondes, rich browns, or warm reds. Cool tones usually look great with ashy blondes, deep blacks, or vibrant jewel tones like plum. If you’re neutral, consider yourself lucky, since most colors will enhance your features! It can be fun to test out a few shades. Remember, the right color can make your skin look brighter and more radiant.
Current Hair Condition
Before you color, take a look at your hair’s health. If your hair is fragile or over-processed, it might be smart to go for a semi-permanent dye. This way, you can refresh your look without the commitment or damage that permanent dyes can cause. In Singapore, professional hair dye services typically range from SGD 100 to SGD 250, based on what you choose [2]. A good salon will also offer treatments to keep your hair healthy and shiny before and after coloring.
Since around 67% of women in Singapore use hair dye at least once in their lives [1], investing in good color services can truly make a difference. Understanding these factors will help you find the perfect shade, whether you want something subtle or bold.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
When you schedule a hair dye service, expect a thorough consultation followed by a detailed application process. Your stylist will chat about your desired look, suggest techniques, and explain how long it’ll take. This personalized approach gets you the results you want.
Consultation Process
A thorough consultation is essential for a successful hair dye service. During this time, you and your stylist will discuss your goals and any concerns related to your hair. They’ll think about your skin tone and lifestyle to recommend the best options. Don’t hesitate to show photos for inspiration. Usually, this part of the appointment lasts about 15 to 30 minutes and sets the stage for an exciting transformation.
Application Techniques
The method used to dye your hair can dramatically affect the final look. Different techniques like balayage, highlights, or full color create unique outcomes. Balayage gives you a sun-kissed, natural vibe, while highlights can add brightness and dimension. Typically, semi-permanent dye services take about 1.5 to 2 hours to complete, and they’re quite popular, 40% of Singaporeans prefer this option [4]. The time can vary based on your hair type and the service you select.
Overall, whether you’re getting a touch-up or a complete makeover, your appointment will be customized to fit your needs. Expect to invest between SGD 100 to SGD 250 for a professional hair dye service in Singapore [2].

Aftercare for Dyed Hair
Taking care of your dyed hair is key to keeping your color vibrant and fresh. Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners, and aim for touch-up appointments every 4-6 weeks to maintain your look.
Products to Use
Investing in quality hair care products matters. Opt for sulfate-free shampoos like Pureology Hydrate Shampoo (around SGD 40) and conditioners to help your color last longer. Brands like Redken offer color-enhancing options that can brighten and preserve your hue. Choosing products made for dyed hair, like those that protect against UV damage, can really make your color pop.
Maintaining Colour
To keep your hair color looking fresh from the salon, try washing it less often, every other day is generally best. When you do wash, use cool water to seal the cuticle. Avoid harsh sun and chlorine, as both can fade your color quickly. If you see your color dulling, think about getting a gloss treatment, many salons offer this for about SGD 50, and it can instantly brighten your hair. For optimal results, schedule touch-ups every 4-6 weeks. This is perfect for maintaining color intensity and can be adjusted based on your hair’s growth and fade. Remember, 67% of women in Singapore have used hair dye services, so you’re not alone in wanting to keep your color looking beautiful [1].
Common Myths About Hair Dye
Hair dye isn’t as damaging as many people think. While some believe all hair dye weakens hair, many modern formulas are made to be gentle. With the right care and professional application, you can enjoy vibrant color without too much harm.
Myth vs. Reality
One common misconception is that dyeing your hair always damages it. In reality, many of today’s hair dyes, such as those from Wella and L’Oreal, include nourishing ingredients designed to protect your hair during coloring. Many salons, like Session Salon, use advanced techniques that can minimize damage and even improve hair texture.
Another myth is that once you start dyeing, you need to keep up with frequent touch-ups. Actually, with semi-permanent dyes, favored by 40% of Singaporeans [4], you can achieve a beautiful, more natural look that fades beautifully, which cuts down on maintenance.
Keeping dyed hair vibrant doesn’t need to be a hassle. While you may change your routine a little, investing in quality products like sulfate-free shampoos can help keep your color bright for longer. Generally, professional hair dye services in Singapore cost between SGD 100 and SGD 250, depending on the complexity [2]. When you consider the benefits of a professional dye job alongside proper aftercare, it’s well worth it for beautiful, healthy hair.
In fact, 67% of women in Singapore have tried hair dye, and many find it a fun way to express their style [1]. Don’t let myths hold you back from exploring the vibrant world of hair color!
