Guests were welcomed into an elegant, light-filled space that captured HairCo’s signature balance of modern minimalism and quiet luxury. Warm lighting, sculptural details and intimate corners came together to create an atmosphere of calm sophistication—a reflection of Choon’s belief that a salon should be a sanctuary where clients can pause, reconnect and rediscover confidence through beauty.

The evening was supported by Shiseido Professional, a long-time partner and collaborator whose science-driven innovation complements Choon’s creative artistry. Together, they’ve redefined what professional haircare can be, bringing treatments that merge advanced Japanese technology with the artistry of touch. Among the highlights is the Sublimic Sound Wave Professional using Sublimic Adenovital range, a signature service that uses sound wave vibrations to enhance scalp circulation and boost the effectiveness of Shiseido Professional Sublimic Adenovital range, designed to strengthen thinning hair from the root.
