THE SAW SALON STORY
Your hair in safe and steady hands
From tresses to business, Edwin Saw the luminary behind Saw Salon, boasts an illustrious journey in the hairstyling realm. Departing from Malaysia in his youth, he embarked on a transformative odyssey to London, United Kingdom, driven by an aspiration to carve a niche in hairdressing.
Where it all started
From London to Malaysia
In his 22-year journey in London, Edwin Saw, a skilled hairstylist, honed his craft through courses and apprenticeships, building a distinguished reputation and loyal clientele. With innate flair and technical prowess, he secured three consecutive nominations as London’s Hairstylist of The Year.
As the Artistic Director at MichaelJohn London in Mayfair for over a decade, Edwin left an indelible mark on both celebrities and everyday clients. Despite his success, he values continuous learning, prompting his return to Malaysia after more than two decades.
In 2004, he established Saw Salon in Suria KLCC, bringing London’s standards to the local market. In 2015, Saw extended his presence with the launch of Saw Salon in Bangsar, featuring the same modern contemporary décor and over-and-beyond service as the KLCC salon.

Recognizing the evolving trends in Kuala Lumpur, Saw Salon strategically relocated from KLCC to The Exchange TRX, a vibrant hub with world-class shopping and entertainment.
