The Gentlemen’s Choice in Chinatown
Classic British haircuts, modern fades, and the closest straight-razor hot towel shave you’ll find in Singapore. Just five minutes from Outram Park MRT.
The British Barbers – Timeless Grooming in Chinatown
The British Barbers was founded on a simple belief. A gentleman should be able to walk into a barbershop in Singapore and leave looking sharper, calmer, and quietly confident, without noise, rush, or compromise.
We have taken the traditional British barbering ritual, once found on Jermyn Street over a century ago, and brought it to a restored shophouse in the heart of Chinatown. The same scissors-over-comb precision, hot towel treatments, and straight-razor shaves are now available just five minutes from Outram Park MRT.
Every barber at The British Barbers has trained directly under Hassan Elgamal, following the standards he developed over more than twenty-five years of professional barbering across Egypt, Dubai, and Singapore.
The result is a consistently refined grooming experience. Sharp haircuts, smoother shaves, and timeless men’s grooming designed to endure beyond trends.
This is the legacy we preserve every day at The British Barbers.
