| Our Story
Walking On Sunshine was born from the dream of its founder, Jay Lim, who discovered his love for hairstyling during his teenage years. Growing up in Kuala Lumpur, Jay was fascinated by how a simple haircut or color could transform not just someone’s appearance but also their confidence and spirit. This passion led him to study the latest Korean beauty techniques and trends, blending them with his own creative vision.
Starting with a small chair in a bustling Kuala Lumpur neighborhood, Jay worked tirelessly to build a salon that offered more than just hair services. He envisioned a place where clients could escape the daily grind, relax in a garden-inspired oasis, and leave feeling truly renewed. His dedication to quality, innovation, and customer care helped Walking On Sunshine grow steadily into a beloved destination for beauty and wellness.
Today, the salon stands as a testament to Jay’s belief: beauty is more than skin deep — it’s about nurturing the soul. With a talented team and a welcoming space, Walking On Sunshine continues to spread joy, one haircut and treatment at a time.
