About MK Hair Expert
Experience you can feel from the first consultation.
Founded by May Khoo, MK Hair Expert brings more than two decades of hands-on industry experience into a calm, focused space for scalp wellness and hair confidence.
Our founder
May Khoo
May entered the hair and scalp care industry in 2004. Through years of working closely with clients, she has learned that similar concerns can call for very different approaches to care.
In 2022, she founded MK Hair Expert to offer a more personal experience: listen first, care for the scalp, explain the options clearly, and support each client without pressure.
Today, the studio welcomes clients looking for a relaxing head spa as well as those seeking cosmetic care for thinning hair, hair loss concerns, an oily or flaky scalp, or scalp sensitivity. The aim is to help each client feel comfortable and more confident about their hair.
Care starts by listening.
