Our Story

More than beautiful hair.
More than a salon.

不只是美丽的头发，更是一间用心经营的沙龙。

Since 1989, Hair Atelier has been helping people look good, feel confident, and become the best version of themselves. For over 37 years, we've believed that exceptional hair is never just about technique — it's about understanding the person behind it.

Every guest has a different lifestyle, personality, and story. That's why every consultation, haircut, colour, treatment, and head spa experience is thoughtfully personalised.

Today, together with YAO Headspa Journey, we've expanded our vision beyond hair — creating a space where beauty, wellness, and relaxation come together, so busy people can pause, recharge, and leave feeling renewed.

Real reviews from Google, across our outlets.

★★★★★

"Moving to Malaysia, finding a reliable hair salon was such a relief — this became my go-to salon. Alice is wonderful; even though my English isn't great, she's always so gentle and thoughtful. The scalp wash was so relaxing I fell asleep in the chair, and the hot stone massage was the cherry on top. Since finding this salon, I haven't been anywhere else."

"This is my third visit to Amaya Maluri. I really appreciate that they provide a private, covered area for Muslim women and those wearing the hijab. I had a scalp treatment while my young daughter got a haircut — our stylist Abigail was careful and patient with her, and Noelle's head massage during my scalp treatment was incredibly soothing. We spent two wonderful hours there."

"For the past three years, my daughter and I have been coming here, and every visit is wonderful. The staff are warm and highly professional, especially Alice and Yu Jie. We love the thoughtful touches — three different drinks to choose from every visit. The wash includes a soothing head massage, hot stone neck massage, and even a massage chair — it feels more like a spa treatment than a hair wash."

"I've been coming to the Sri Petaling branch for more than four years. Jun Keat has always taken excellent care of me and my hair — skilled not only at cutting for the moment, but thinking longer term to how it grows out until the next cut. The whole experience is wonderful, from the welcome drinks to the starry sky in the hair wash room, to the hot stone massage."

"I've been getting my hair done by William since 2022, and he's the best hairstylist I've had! I'm quite picky, but William always takes the time to understand what I want. What I really appreciate is he doesn't just follow what you ask for — he'll advise you on what actually works based on your hair type, face shape, and overall look. Highly recommended!"

"The stylist who attended to me was CC. She gave good suggestions about length and type of cut, and good advice about hair care too. Both she and the junior stylist were really attentive and we had good conversations! It was my first visit to Hair Atelier in Taman Desa — a very enjoyable experience and I will surely be visiting again!"
