Reviews of Empire Charme (Kovan)
ec has been my go-to salon for more than 5 years now! been doing my 90.10 treatment without fail and it always uplifts my confidence to have smooth and healthy hair. have tried root revival, colour and perm and they’ve always delivered. i always look for Carey and Grace, very professional and lovely ladies who will take good care of ur hairs 🫶🏼💯 they’re very gentle with your hair and give lots of tips and ideas on styles that suit you. Ava is also really friendly with her chats and efficient appointment setting & payments. i always feel comfortable here. highly recommended ❤️🔥
My friend and I came here to get our hair dyed and it was a great experience! From the cozy atmosphere with refreshments to the actual hair dye and treatment, the team made sure that we were comfortable. There was no hard selling and hairstylists - Ze and Gavin were detailed and took great care of us. We're satisfied with the results and would recommend if you're looking for a friendly salon with a comfy environment!
I recently visited Empire Charme (Kovan) and had my haircolour done by Gavin. He shared the pros and cons of the two shades that I was eyeing. His attention to detail is impressive; he takes the time to ensure that the colors turn out just as he envisions them. Gavin is patient and approachable, making the entire experience as pleasant as possible. His service-centered approach really sets him apart, and I left feeling not only satisfied but also valued as a client. Highly recommend Gavin at Empire Charme for anyone looking for a talented hairstylist!
I have been coming to Empire Charme since 2016. Really love their attentive care to my oily scalp and timely recommendations on the hair care products and services. Thoroughly enjoy their friendly service and hospitality. Thank you Empire Charme!
I’ve been going to Empire Charme for years, and Ze is absolutely amazing! From haircuts and color to scalp treatments and texture control, Ze has handled it all with skill and care. Avagail and the team are always so accommodating and friendly, creating such positive vibes with their chit-chat. I even brought my friend along, and we both had a fantastic experience! I struggled to find the perfect salon, but this one has truly made a great impression. Highly recommend! :)
Went for a hair treatment session and they said beforehand that I could bring my baby, so I did :)
I’ve been experiencing post-partum hair loss, so the treatment was meant to target that issue.
Here’s what I liked about the season:
✅ Parent-friendly: The fact that they were ok with me bringing my baby for the session
✅ Great treatment: Apart from having to keep baby entertained, the treatment was pretty relaxing and cooling. I left the salon feeling great about my nice and smooth hair!
✅ Friendly attitude: The staff members were mostly friendly to me and my baby.
✅ Amenities provided: They lent me a phone charger and also gave me a drink and snacks.
✅ Privacy: When I was nursing my baby, although I told them I didn’t need the curtains drawn, they had the curtains available for anyone who would like more privacy and would like them to be drawn. (They also had them drawn for me even though I said “no need” so I’m not sure why they asked in the first place 🤡 )
However, here’s what I feel could be improved:
❌ Damp clothes: The back of my top was wet after the hair wash and they helped to dry it with the hairdryer, but it would be great if it didn’t get wet in the first place 😅
❌ Narrow-minded view point: Staff member assumed my baby’s gender just because she was wearing a blue top. Could be more progressive.
❌ Lack of consent: Baby fell asleep right before I had to leave. I had to unlatch her and put my carrier on before wearing her back to sleep again, so I knew she would be cranky about that, but it was only gonna be for a short while. I placed my baby on the seat where she started crying, but I only needed a few seconds to put my carrier on and I wanted her to be left on the chair for the few seconds. The staff member tried to grab her by the arms while asking if I needed any help, and I told her multiple times “no need”, “please leave her on the seat”, “I don’t need any help”, “I can handle this myself”, but she ignored me and proceeded to carry my baby into her arms instead. I was very uncomfortable with this because not only did my baby continue crying since it was someone unfamiliar holding her, I also have no idea whether this staff member is well or vaccinated or has any unsafe chemicals on her hands from another client that she didn’t wash off yet.
You may disagree with me about some points being pros or cons depending on your lifestyle and how you interact with people, but this is how I felt about it.
Update: They followed up to apologise for the lack of consent from the staff member, so it’s nice to know that they’re willing to listen to feedback!
I recently got my hair colored by Gavin and I'm absolutely loving the result! The color is vibrant and exactly what I asked for. Gavin is a true professional - knowledgeable, friendly, and made me feel at ease throughout the process. Highly recommend!
From the exceptional service to the remarkable outcomes, my experience at Empire Charm has been nothing short of praiseworthy.I am delighted to express my satisfaction with the outcome. After receiving their professional treatment, I noticed a remarkable change - my hair became noticeably smoother and began to show significant growth. The staff members were not only polite and respectful but also displayed a high level of professionalism. Their knowledge and skill in providing haircare advice and services further enhanced my overall experience.Throughout my visit, I did not encounter any hidden selling. Thank you. 😊
I've been using their services since November. And I've been attended by all their stylists; Carey, Gavin & Ze. Trust me all of them are GREAT! If you're looking to have a new hairstyle pls approach either of them and they'll offer the best advice and service, no regrets. I really appreciate how they don't push to sell their products or services. Also they have 2 other staffs who always does the hairwash for me ; Grace and Vung who are also super friendly. Always greet with a smile and have great conversations with them. I have visited their other outlet too. But hands down Kovan is the best. The warmth and friendless is just amazing. To top it all, Ava who always advises what's best for the hair health instead of just the outlook of the hair is simply a gem. In other salons, they try to push more services like hair dye, highlights etc, but here when I asked she advised me not to as it'll further damage my hair. This is why you guys should go to them. No hard selling, truly customer centric. Love and kudos to team Kovan!
Overall, it has been a pleasant experience whenever I come here for my hair treatment. I have coming back to Empire Charme(Kovan) a few times. I will continue to come back to this outlet. Lovely and helpful staffs. Always ensure I have tidbits and warm water throughout the long period of hair treatments (>3hours).
They also advise on my hair and scalp care. Their sets of treatments helps with my ever troubled scalp and hair issues.
Thank you so much for your great services.
I am a regular and stick with Empire Charme Kovan almost a year. I am super pleased with the hair colour and treatments recommended by Carrie from her professional advice.
My hair texture changes drastically due to my medical condition and side effects that medications impacting my hair and scalp.
My stylist, Carrie together with her team are friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is always welcoming. Carrie and team will do their best to provide their top notch services no matter how busy it gets even at the peak times during weekends.
Carrie managed to save my hair...since my first visit...leaving my hay that used to be dry and brittle...now healthier and more manageable. Highly recommended!
My first time here at Emipre Charme Kovan, and i had a very long hair that was in a bad condition. I have decided to let my hairstylist Gavin to go freestyle on the style and color that he thinks would suit me and I am indeed loving the end results. Best of all, no hard selling, very friendly environment and price worthy for the location around the neighbourhood! Thanks so much!
My 2nd visit here they never disappoint me at all. I was served by ava, gavin and a lady i didnt manage to get her name. They always ensure i am feeling comfortable throughout my treatment. No hard selling! I signed up package with them as i love their service and my hair definitely look healthier. I love their ginseng sclap treatment, my scalp feel fresh and clean. Gavin is really good in styling my hair. Cant wait for my next appointment with them😍
It was a wholesome experience. I was attended by Ms Ava, who did for me a full assessment of my scalp before and after. She was kind enough to guide me through Dos and don’ts as I had massive hairloss and dandruff issues. Ms Carey the hair stylist was very patient and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole treatment process. 100% recommend!
EC has been a lifesaver for my hair! Their scalp and hair treatments are incredible, and the team truly goes above and beyond to deliver the best results for their clients. There's no pressure to buy anything, and they simply focus on getting your hair healthy again. After dealing with hair loss from childbirth, hormones, and stress, EC has become my go-to for hair revival. If you're looking for amazing self-care, I highly recommend them. Their treatments worked wonders for my scalp and hair, and the prices are very reasonable, especially considering inflation and GST. You won't regret giving them a try!"
Thank you Eva, Carrie, Yoke , Ze , Gavin & Grace.
I had very bad hair fall. I came to empire charme at kovan outlet. I did the treatment and on my 3rd session I honestly see alot of difference on my hair fall. I am using their shampoo and conditioner. Very good. And I love the staff and their service. Very professional each n everyone of them. Thank you Empire Charme for your outstanding service ❤️
Me and my mom have been coming to this outlet continuously, and after every session, we are satisfied with the services they provide. The staffs are friendly and they care for our hair sincerely. Love how my hair looks and feels after each service. Highly recommend!
I've been to the Empire Charme outlets in Bukit Batok and Paya Lebar. First time visiting the one at Kovan for treatment, colour, and haircut.
Am truly impressed by Avagail's pleasant personality, professionalism, and advice on my scalp condition. Thank you, stylist Carey, for giving my long overdue hair a fresh look. Thank you, Vung, for taking good care of me and my hair when assisting with the treatment and colouring.
I had a good day here, and I am glad I have this outlet to go to for my future hair care. Thank you!
Have been going to Empire Charme for well over 7 years since Jack joined them, can always trust Jack for the best advise for hair care & hairstyle that is most suitable for me.
Their products & treatement recommendations are great too, not those hard sell kind who just wants you to buy their product or do their treatment. They actually worked for your specific hair type. I used to have very oily scalp but after using their products and treatments, my hair is now very healthy and no longer have oily scalp.
Friendly & accomodating staff and always happy & smiling. Positive & good vibes 😉🥰
The ginseng scalp treatment was amazing. The 2 ladies staff that attended me was amazing as well. Gavin is friendly, as well as good with his recommendation on how to cut and style my hair.
Been to empire charms multiple times for my hair & scalp treatment. Always satisfied with their customer service & treatment. Their head massage is always so good
As usual super satisfied with their service! My go to place for my hair & scalp
I have went to this place couple of times and went today for a hair cut. The hair stylist was Mr Gavin. He has really done a good job for the requested hair cut.. I'm really impressed and loving my new hair look now.. highly recommended... 😊😊
Book for texture control earlier. Been doing this treatment for years now. And Gavin is the hair stylist today, very knowledgeable. Didnt know we can click even for the first time we just met. Thanks Gavin and Empire Chrme! Really love my hair! Hair is super ready for Hari Raya!
Both my son and myself will visit this saloon monthly. Somehow I like their warm & charm welcome service when stepping in. AVA and GRACE always put on smiles. CAREY the hair stylist which I have been with her 20 over years. They are professional, patient and well manners. JACK also another friendly guy in this saloon. Service is good and lastly I wanted to give a credit to their toilet. Is clean and hygienic!!!
I have been getting my hair done by Gavin for the past three years . I can always count on him and leave my hair completely in his hands ! Would definitely recommend him if u are looking to get your hair service done :) checkout his Instagram account for his hairworks ! @gav_hairart
Great service and experience! Hair stylist Jack was very professional in providing good advice and suggestions and was very helpful in answering my questions. He also did a great job in delivering what I wanted for my hair. Staff Grace and Ava were also very friendly and helpful. Overall great experience and highly recommended!
Have been here since 2018 and for 6 years Jack has been my regular artist and will always look for him without fail. he perfectly knows what kind of hairstyle that suits me. Even brought my parents and friends here for their hair necessities because of their superb service that just makes you feel like home. Will strongly recommend Jack and anyone to come here to have their hair needs fixed!
I always do my monthly hair treatments in Empire Charme. Thank you to Carey & Grace for their amazing service and hospitality as always. I had a good pampering session. I’ll definitely recommend their services.
I have been visiting Empire Charme (Kovan) for a few years. I have noticed significant improvement in my scalp condition and absolutely love their colour services. There’s NO hard selling at all which makes me more comfortable to visit them.
Have always come to Empire Charme to get my hair done with Ze since 2022 and he is always very professional in his work 👍🏻
My stylist is Jarrett at Kovan and he has been giving me solid advice on my hair texture, colouring and etc. I like the fact that he is patient and an expert when I want to cut short my hair. Not a pushy guy and will always listens.
Whenever i have any hair issue, will definitely look for him. I've also brought my kids and my mom too. They all love the way he is patient and detailed. My mom is a regular too.
Last-minute appointment made with them after chancing one of The Smart Local Singapore's post and never regret my decision. I went for haircut + wash & blow. I was sceptical with hairstylist Ze initially when he started cutting my hair but the outcome of my haircut was superb! Thank you Ze for the excellent haircut and the lady who washed my hair (apologise that I didn't get your name). Made my day as it has been so long I have gotten a good haircut ever since I've become a mummy of two.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time here at empire with jack! :) he was very friendly and they provided expert hair and scalp services!! Would highly recommend to friends and family!
Have been going to empire charme Kovan with Jack for years! He is the best and I won’t trust my scalp care with anyone else (: all the staff are so attentive as well.
Highly recommend!
Went to EC yesterday and brought my mum along for ginseng treatment. Best service even though they seemed down with staff. But service did not drop. Thumbs up guys!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great service as always. Welcoming by Avagail.
Good massage :) Was served by Grace.
Excellent service. Recommendations have been spot on so far! Carrie is an excellent hair stylist
Look for Gavin if you want great service and haircuts! Really happy with my new look!
Awesome hospitality by Kovan team. Very accomodative. Treat as family member. Great advice for styling and other services.
Love this place ! Been coming here for years and my hair is loving this place and it’s service. The staffs are professional and friendly 💕
Great quality service, a regular for last 3 years. Nice n friendly staff. They use good quality products.
Hairstylist was good. Professional. Good job done.
Great service
My personal experience they are doing an excellent service to all staffs including Ms.Curey,
I came to this store after being introduced by a friend. As soon as I entered the store, I felt that the atmosphere was super good. Moreover, the hair stylist Aze has his own ideas for hair, and will design a suitable style for each person.
Every time after I finish the work, he patiently teaches me how to take care of it after I get home. It’s a very trustworthy store👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I came for the first time with my SIL who is a regular and they were so kind and patient with my concerns and needs! They took the time to explain about hair care and scalp care and I had to try their products! Loved the experience, Ava and Happy were our consultant and stylists.
