15 Gentlemen’s Barbershops In Singapore For Dapper Haircuts & Shaves To Pamper Your BF With

Barbershops in Singapore

---

Be it a first date or job interview, it’s always important to leave a good impression. That said, keeping yourself groomed is something you should do even on a regular basis. As do manners maketh man, so does kempt hair. While some barbers out there charge $70 or more per haircut or beard shave, we’ve compiled a list of gentlemen’s barbershops in Singapore that charge $45 and below.

You may have been scrimping with $5 haircuts, but it is fair to splurge occasionally and spoil yourself with a pampering gentlemen’s barbershop experience. These barbers will keep you looking suave and dapper – and maybe even to help you look more like a towkay than your boss.

What’s the difference between a barbershop & a hair salon?

---

Most barbershops focus on serving men by offering specialised services like beard styling, shaving, and gentlemen’s haircuts. Meanwhile, hair salons offer a wider range of services that you may not find at a barbershop including colouring, extensions, and highlights. Salons are also viewed as more gender-neutral as they cater to both demographics. However, some barber shops like DeepCuts and LA Barbershop provide women’s haircuts too.

Representing Yishun is Rockarolla Barber. Alright, hold your stereotypes, fellas, Yishun is not all that bad. With its plain white walls, light parquet flooring, and minimal embellishments, this place has a zen Muji vibe that’ll instantly help you relax.

Kids aged 6-12 years get their haircuts at a cheaper rate of $18, so take your little man down for a cool back-to-school haircut. Teens can get their hair cut for just $23, while adults pay $33.

However, don’t be fooled by its rather demure facade, because this place also doubles up as a jamming studio, complete with electric guitars and a full drum set. You can book the studio at $30/hour, with regular promos and bundle deals.

While the Hypebeast fashion trend is often associated with softer Korean hairstyles, this barbershop’s delivery of the classy slick back undercut is uncompromised.

P.S. You can get a discount on your haircut if you’re a first-time customer ($40, U.P. $45). And if you’re just in need of a trim, come fortnightly to enjoy a rate of $37/cut.
