Jermyn Street

At this Amoy Street shophouse barbershop, the brooding gentleman’s club vibe present at groom rooms elsewhere is eschewed for a brighter, art gallery-like space, supplemented with chesterfield sofas given a modern, red-hued update, and lovely sunlight streaming in from a glass-covered courtyard space. Borrowing its name and austere personality of the historic Jermyn Street in London, a host of services are offered at a premium, including hot towel shaves ($70), cut and washes ($55-$75), and beard grooming ($35-$50). The services are administered across six chairs by a team of four headed by Steve Chapman. For guys who need constant hair attention, the VIP member package ($650) entitles you to 12 haircuts, to be used up within a year.
