Haircut prices at hair salons in Singapore

The boring bit

Methodology, caveats and what we left out. Everything above rests on this.

There is no dot plot here: each business publishes one price for this item, so the ladders above already show every price.

Coverage

13 businesses with a usable price, out of 71 we found in Singapore. That 71 is our own count from searching, a floor and not an official figure. We've read 18 of them; 53 are found but not yet read. A business counts once, not once per branch -- except where a business itself publishes different prices at different outlets, which we disclose rather than average away. Eleven businesses publish a usable price in both lanes; two more publish a men's cut only.

When we stopped

Discovery stopped on 22 Sep 2026 once both lanes comfortably cleared the usual first-cut floor of 8 to 10 clean prices. A substantial lead backlog remains unread (53 businesses), including several genuinely stuck cases: two businesses whose own sites are unreachable by automated tools (QB House, robots-blocked and, separately, currently unreachable even to a browser agent; eZen Hair, Nail & Beauty, repeated tool errors), and nine businesses whose only online presence is a login-walled Facebook page or an Instagram post, which automated tools cannot read at all.

Last verified

22 Sep 2026. Every price was read from the business's own website or own booking platform, either directly or via a browser agent for pages our own tools couldn't reach (JavaScript-rendered booking widgets, or sites that block automated readers). This report says "read from each business's own page," not "checked by hand."

What "comparable enough" means here

We compare prices that are comparable enough for a fair reading, not strictly identical. The standard item is wash + cut, cheapest published stylist tier, with a separate lane for women's and men's cuts, since they're different products in kind at most businesses here, not just a tiered price on the same one. The line was drawn here:

• Where a business publishes stylist tiers (junior/senior/director or similar), the cheapest tier that clearly names the service is ranked; other tiers are shown in the small print, the same treatment as a gender-tiered or surcharge price.
• Where a business publishes different prices at different outlets on its own site -- Snip Avenue, Toni & Guy and Shunji Matsuo -- the cheapest confirmed outlet is ranked and the full spread disclosed. This is new to this vertical: no earlier CompareSG report needed it.
• Where cut and wash are priced separately and by hair length rather than a flat rate (Apgujeong Hair Studio), the two components are summed into a derived figure at the shortest length and cheapest tier -- the same principle as picking a standard unit count elsewhere, and tagged as derived on the ladder.
• Age- or seniority-restricted tiers (an Elderly 65+ rate, an Apprentice or trainee rate at a genuine commercial barbershop) are disclosed but not used to displace the ordinary adult tier from ranking, unless the ordinary tier is itself the cheapest, the same treatment a child's price gets elsewhere.
• Training-academy discounted rates are excluded entirely, not treated as a data gap: Kimage Hairdressing School and KIMarie Hair & Beauty Training Centre both offer trainee-supervised cuts at a fraction of commercial rates, which isn't the standard commercial item.
• A "from" price is ranked only where it names the specific service, as with The Good Guys Barbershop's named "Good Guys Cut." De Arte Hair Studio's combined "Standard Cut / Director Cut" naming is flagged as ambiguous rather than confidently split.
• Kimage is held unranked: its own Junior Stylists page showed two different prices in one fetch, a genuine own-page conflict, not a stale guide.
• GST is shown as each business states it. Only Picasso Hair Studio explicitly confirms its prices include GST; Team Salon uses "++" pricing (GST and service charge on top). Every other ranked business is silent on GST.

What isn't compared, and why

• Colour, perming and rebonding. Several businesses publish clean colour tables (Number76, EX Style, Apgujeong Hair Studio, Picasso Hair Studio), but most others quote colour only "upon consultation" with no fixed price -- not yet consistent enough across the vertical to form a third lane. Worth revisiting once more businesses are read.
• Businesses with no price published anywhere. four businesses (Full House Salon, Jean Yip Hairdressing, DeepCuts Barber's, kcuts) show detailed service descriptions but zero prices on any page checked -- confirmed genuine data gaps, including one major national chain (Jean Yip) with 21 Singapore outlets.
• Businesses whose own page contradicts itself. Kimage -- see above.
• Training-academy rates. Kimage Hairdressing School and KIMarie Hair & Beauty Training Centre -- see above.
• Businesses reachable only through a login-walled Facebook page or an Instagram post. Nine businesses fall in this category; a hand visit or a logged-in check is the only remaining path, since automated tools cannot read Facebook's content at all.
• Prices shown only elsewhere. Third-party guides, directories and marketplace or delivery-style listings aren't used, because they aren't the business's own price list and this vertical's guides in particular disagreed with each other and with the businesses' own pages by a wide margin during discovery.

Where the prices come from

Every price is published by the business itself: on its own site or its own booking platform. Each business name links to the page we read.

Independence

No payment, gift or sponsorship affects who is included, how they rank or how they are described.
