How Much Does a Men’s Haircut Cost in Singapore? (2026)
A men’s haircut at a Singapore barber usually costs $30 to $50. Plan on about $35 for a standard cut and about $65 with a beard trim or shave.
But the same cut starts at $25 at one well-reviewed barber in Yishun and $70 at another in the CBD. Here’s what each budget gets you, and the best-reviewed barbers at each price, from the menus of 36 barbershops we checked this month.
Pick your budget
Every barber below is rated 4.7 or higher on Google with at least 100 reviews (50 in the under-$35 range, when we checked) and prices its haircut on its own menu. Tap a barber to see the full menu and request a booking.
Under $35
What to expect: mostly neighbourhood barbers with one simple cut and a separate price for anything extra. Many also list a student or senior rate a few dollars lower, so ask if you qualify. In this range we show barbers rated 4.7 or higher with 50+ reviews.

- Beard and shave add-ons. At barbers that list both, a beard trim or shave usually adds about $25 to the cut.
- Wash and styling. A wash, styling or head massage is included at some barbers and extra at others, so check before you compare prices.
- Student and top-up rates. Many barbers have a cheaper student or senior rate, and some offer a two-week top-up for less than a full cut.

Student, senior, kids’ and add-on prices are counted separately, and the hair-salon figure comes from a separate read of 74 salon menus that list a men’s cut. Prices change, so treat this as a guide and confirm your price when you book.
