Considering how often it is that men need to get a haircut, finding a good barbershop that fits one’s budget is essential. There is no lack of hairdresser options for gents in Singapore, of course – it all boils down to how demanding your coiffing needs are and the amount you’re willing to splash out on them.

If all you’re looking for is a simple, low-cost trim, you won’t go wrong heading to a neighbourhood mall chain barbershop like QB House. The Japanese chain is practically a household name, known for its efficient 10-minute haircut service. With its extensive network of outlets across Singapore, you can also easily find one near your home.

The chain also has several Premium outlets, providing a more elevated experience – these have nicer interiors instead of the typical spartan set-up, and will provide a simple styling service on top of your haircut. Tip: You’d also be able to request for your preferred hairstylist.

Price: QB House – haircut at S$14, QB House Premium – haircut at S$18.

2. KCUTS

This “Korean-themed” express haircut chain, so described because its stylists are trained by Korean stylists, is another favourite go-to in Singapore for affordable trims. Kcuts operates much like QB House, providing simple, 10-minute haircuts (no shaving, shampooing or hairstyling included) in a no-frills environment. A key difference between the two chains, however, is that Kcuts has a larger network of branches here, make them more accessible.

Price: Haircut ranges from S$10 to S$15.
