How to choose a barber
- For fades and textured styles, choose a barbershop that posts recent cuts on Instagram and book a named barber; heartland barbers are best for classic short cuts.
- Bring a reference photo and say which guard length you normally use.
- Check the price for add-ons such as beard trims, hot-towel shaves and hair washes, which can double the bill at premium shops.
- Ask if the price is nett; tipping is not expected in Singapore.
- Skip prepaid haircut packages; the saving is small compared with the risk if the shop closes.
Red flags
- Razors that are not fitted with a fresh blade in front of you.
- Clippers and combs not cleaned between customers.
- Prices not displayed and only quoted after the cut.
Questions to ask before you book
