HEA HEYA HAIR SALON

WHERE: B01 GROUND FLOOR, SUNSURIA FORUM @7TH AVENUE, NO. 1 JALAN SETIA DAGANG, SETIA ALAM, 40170 SHAH ALAM, SELANGOR. TEL: 03-50319533

If you’re always on the hunt for places or things that you can take pictures of, make Hea Heya your next stop! Strategically located in the latest hot spot in Setia Alam that is Sunsuria Forum, this salon is one of a kind, which you’d most probably never have expected to see in the Klang Valley so soon. Officially launched last month, the main section of this salon caters to every woman’s hair needs, but there’s also a small partitioned area where guys can get their haircut and man needs taken care of. The interior of this salon emulates the concept of boutique salons that are currently on the rise in Korea and Japan, but at the same time, it incorporates the stylish needs of what Malaysian women are most in love with – books, cafes, colourful aesthetics and Instagram. Incorporating furniture that was custom made overseas, the salon’s founder, Jason Lam explains that other important factors that he took into consideration when setting up this space were the lighting and music. “I decided to specially request for a slot on the ground floor facing the street as I wanted to make full use of the natural sunlight that’s available here. That’s also why I chose bright yellow and white lights so that the space will remain bright all day long,” he explains. “The white lights are for practical reasons so that the stylists and customers can see the real colour that comes out after every treatment. In terms of music, I went ahead with acoustic tunes that will make anyone who walk in feel as if they’re in a cafe.”
