Walk down any street in Singapore and you’ll see haircut prices that swing from $10 to well over $100. So what does a haircut actually cost here, and what are you really paying for at the higher end?

This is an honest breakdown of haircut cost in Singapore — the real prices on our menu in Orchard, what drives the number up or down, how men’s, women’s and kids’ cuts differ, and whether a $10–15 quick-cut is the bargain it looks like.

No upselling, no fluff. Just the figures and the reasoning, so you can decide what’s worth paying for and walk in knowing roughly what to expect.

Real haircut cost in Singapore: our 2026 menu

Let’s start with actual numbers instead of vague ranges. Here’s what a haircut costs at His and Her Hairloft in Orchard, straight off our menu.

Men’s and barber cuts

• Classic Hair Cut — $60, a full cut, wash and finish.
• Ease Cut Moment — $88, an unhurried, more pampered cut-and-styling experience.
• Kids Cut (under 12) — $45.
• Hair Cut + Beard Design — $95, for a cut paired with a shaped, defined beard.
• Hair Cut + Luxe Shave — $105, a cut plus a traditional hot-towel razor shave.

Women’s and styling services

• Women’s Hair Cut — $70.
• Wash & Blow — $40, a wash and a smooth blow-dry, no cut.
• Wash & Style — $60, a wash plus a styled finish such as waves or curls.

So a straightforward cut sits between $45 and $70 depending on who’s in the chair, and the higher numbers are bundles that add a beard, a shave or a fuller styling experience. Prices correct at time of writing — message us at +65 8335 1511 to confirm.

What actually drives the cost of a haircut

Two haircuts can be priced very differently and both be fair. Once you know what feeds into the number, the range stops feeling random.

• Stylist experience. Time behind the chair is the biggest factor. A cut from a senior stylist who reads your face shape, growth pattern and hair density costs more than a quick trim from someone newer, because you’re paying for judgement, not just scissors.
• Hair length and thickness. Long, thick or very curly hair simply takes longer to section, cut evenly and finish. That time is part of the price.
• Wash and styling add-ons. A dry trim is quick. A wash, cut and proper blow-dry or style is a longer service, which is why a Wash & Style ($60) sits above a Wash & Blow ($40).
• Men vs women vs kids. Women’s cuts ($70) usually involve more length, layering and finishing than a men’s Classic Cut ($60); kids’ cuts ($45) are shorter and simpler, so they’re priced gentler.
• The experience itself. An Ease Cut Moment ($88) costs more than a Classic Cut because it’s a slower, more relaxed service, not because the haircut is somehow ‘better quality’.

None of this is a markup for its own sake. It’s time, skill and the finish you actually walk out with.

Men’s, women’s and kids’ cuts — why the prices differ

People often ask why a women’s cut costs more than a men’s, or why kids pay less. It comes down to time and technique rather than gender pricing for its own sake.

Men’s cuts

A men’s Classic Hair Cut is $60. Most men’s styles are shorter and use clipper-and-scissor work that’s quicker to execute cleanly. If you want a beard shaped too, the Hair Cut + Beard Design bundle is $95, and adding a traditional razor shave brings the Hair Cut + Luxe Shave to $105. For the full range of grooming options, our men’s barber in Orchard covers cuts, beards and shaves under the same roof.

Women’s cuts

A Women’s Hair Cut is $70. There’s usually more length to work with, more layering and shaping, and a styled finish, all of which take longer. You can see the wider service list on our women’s hair salon page.

Kids’ cuts

Kids Cut (under 12) is $45. Shorter, simpler and quicker, so it’s priced accordingly, and a couple or family can book together in one visit.

Is a $10–15 quick-cut actually cheaper?

Budget $10–15 cuts have a real place. If you keep a simple buzz or a no-fuss short style and just need length taken off fast, they do the job and there’s no shame in it.

But it’s worth being clear-eyed about what you’re getting and not getting.

• Speed over consultation. A quick-cut is built for volume. There’s rarely time to discuss your face shape, what you actually want, or how the cut grows out.
• Less finishing. Often no proper wash, no styled blow-dry, and limited shaping, so the result can look fine on day one and grow out unevenly.
• Hit or miss on detail. For anything with structure — layers, a fringe, a fade you care about, a women’s cut you’ll style daily — the difference in skill shows quickly.

The honest way to think about it: a $10 cut is a maintenance trim, while a $60–88 cut is a styled result with advice built in. If your style is simple and you’re happy, save your money. If you want a cut that suits your features and holds its shape for weeks, the higher price usually pays for itself in how long it looks good.

How often should you actually get a haircut?

How often you cut affects your real yearly cost more than the per-visit price does. Here are sensible rough guides.

• Short men’s styles and fades look sharpest with a cut every 3–4 weeks, since they grow out of shape fast.
• Longer men’s styles can stretch to every 6–8 weeks.
• Women keeping a shape or fringe usually want a trim every 6–8 weeks; growing hair out can stretch to 10–12 with the occasional dusting.
• Kids vary, but every 6–8 weeks keeps things tidy.

Singapore’s humidity is a quiet factor too. Frizz and that ‘grown-out’ feeling show up faster here, so many people cut a little more often than they would in a drier climate. If you mostly want to manage length and condition rather than restyle, a Wash & Blow ($40) between cuts keeps hair looking fresh without paying for a full cut every time.

For a fuller breakdown by hair type and goal, our guide on how often to get a trim goes deeper than rules of thumb.

What’s included in the price at His and Her Hairloft

When you book a cut with us, the price isn’t just the snip. Here’s what’s wrapped into it, so the value is clear.

• A real consultation before anything happens, so the cut suits your face shape, hair type and how much styling you’ll realistically do at home.
• Experienced hands. Founder and lead stylist Jamie has 20+ years behind the chair, alongside stylists Ammar and Wei Ling.
• Wash and finish on cuts that include it, so you leave styled rather than damp and on your own.
• Both sides under one roof. A women’s salon and a men’s barber together in Orchard, so a couple or family can sort everyone in one trip.

We’re well-reviewed, rated 5.0 from 667 Google reviews, and we’d rather take a few extra minutes to get your hair right than rush you out. That standard is really what the price reflects. Prices correct at time of writing — message us to confirm before you come down.
