If you’re all for the top-notch services at Sultan of Shave, be sure to visit its sister brand. Taking a spot in Holland V, Sultans is an affordable alternative with its fuss-free but quality haircuts and shaves. Take our word for it – our boys from the Honeycombers team paid ’em a visit and they’ve been raving about their suave cuts ever since: “Whenever I get a cut, I always show photos of my preferred style, and the barber totally nails it. The detailed cutting, trimming and shaving, along with washing and styling, is definitely worth the price, ” says Lord Acuña, IT Executive.

3. Red Panther
This hidden spot inside Upper Serangoon shopping mall is a little off the beaten track but so worth the visit. Step into nostalgia as the barbers give you an authentic cut – just like those old-school barbershops in 80s and 90s Singapore. Oh, and did we mention it’s super affordable? It’s no wonder there’s usually a queue on busy days. Don’t be disheartened while waiting, though. Spend time picking your new look from one of the 80s men’s hairstyle posters on the wall or geek out over vintage car number plates and random memorabilia in the space.
