Raymond Choon shares this same philosophy in his latest salon concept. “We created this space to redefine the salon experience—not just about hair, but a sanctuary where guests can pause, reconnect, and celebrate their personal style,” he says. Every detail, from the minimalistic interiors to the warm lighting and unwind corners, tells a story of balance.

At HairCo, the goal is for clients to feel a sense of belonging. “A salon feels special when it feels like home,” Choon explains. “It’s the warmth, the artistry and the shared moments that make every visit unforgettable.” His philosophy reflects a broader shift in beauty today—where salons are no longer just places for transformation, but also spaces of care, comfort and self-expression.

One of the salon’s signature offerings is the Sublimic Adenovital Sound Wave treatment, a next-generation scalp therapy powered by Shiseido Professional’s advanced technology. Unlike traditional scalp massages, the treatment harnesses sound wave vibrations to stimulate deep tissues, boost product absorption and relieve scalp tension. “It’s not just a massage. It uses sound wave vibrations to reach where fingers can’t, so results are faster and more effective,” Choon explains.

Designed to work in harmony with the Adenovital range, the treatment ensures that active ingredients penetrate deeper into the scalp for maximum efficacy. The experience is as indulgent as it is effective. “Clients love the instant relaxation and the visible improvements to their hair over time,” Choon adds. “It feels premium and exclusive, and makes every visit more special.”

Complementing this innovation is Shiseido Professional’s Sublimic Adenovital range, a collection of products dedicated to strengthening thinning hair from the root. Each formula is powered by advanced beauty ingredients that address scalp health while fortifying hair for resilience and volume. The Adenovital Shampoo and Scalp Treatment provide a gentle yet effective foundation by cleansing and hydrating the scalp. For deeper repair, the Hair Treatment and Hair Mask target damage and restore its strength from within. Meanwhile, the Scalp Power-Shot—a potent scalp essence—penetrates the deeper layers to revitalise hair at its source, while the Volume Serum enhances both scalp condition and visible fullness.

Together, these salon-grade solutions deliver a comprehensive approach to scalp and hair health. For Choon, they fit seamlessly into his philosophy of beauty. “Beauty is the confidence to embrace who you are,” he says. “It’s not just how you look but how you feel.”

A shared vision of beauty

With Shiseido Professional’s science-driven innovation and Choon’s artistry, the partnership marks a new era of salon care—one where beauty is about more than surface-level results. It is about creating a lasting foundation of wellness, confidence and self-expression; all starting from the scalp. “Our vision is driven by artistry, innovation and the belief that every detail—from services to space—should create meaningful, luxurious experiences,” Choon adds.

By combining pioneering Japanese technology with a salon environment designed for comfort and renewal, both Shiseido Professional and Raymond Choon are setting a new benchmark: haircare that restores, strengthens and empowers from the inside out.
