Barber Etiquette in Singapore – What Clients Should Know

Whether you’re new to barbershops or a regular in the chair, knowing a little etiquette can make your experience even better—for you and your barber.

Here’s what we wish more clients knew:

✅ Be on time. We plan each slot carefully so no one feels rushed. Running late? A heads-up helps everyone.

✅ Say what you want—but also be open. Bring a photo or describe your ideal cut. Then let your barber tailor it based on your hair texture, growth direction, and face shape.

✅ Relax. You don’t need to entertain us. Silence is golden, and we respect it. But if you’re in the mood for a chat, we’re happy to talk about rugby, motorcycles, or your weekend plans.

✅ Tipping is appreciated, not expected. Most clients round up or offer a handshake and sincere thanks. Either way, we notice and appreciate it.

✅ Respect the process. A great cut takes time. Trust the pacing—we’d rather get it right than rush it.

At Gentleman’s Cuts, etiquette isn’t about rules—it’s about mutual respect. We’re here to make you feel relaxed, heard, and sharp. That starts with a little understanding and ends with a great haircut.
