✨ About Us

We are an appointment-only luxury private barber shop located in Raffles Place, in the heart of Singapore's CBD.

Founded by two Directors with extensive barbering and salon management experience in Singapore and Japan, our shop opened in May 2026 and is now expanding its team.

Our goal is not simply to provide haircuts.

We aim to create a private environment where customers can relax, refresh and receive consistently high-quality grooming services.

To achieve this, the role of our Barber Assistants is extremely important.

Shampooing, massage, facial treatments, shaving and grooming are all essential parts of the overall customer experience.

💆 Your Main Role

As a Barber Assistant, shampoo, neck & shoulder massage, facial and grooming treatments will be a major part of your daily work.

You will frequently provide these services directly to customers throughout the day.

This role is particularly suitable for someone who enjoys:

• Providing hands-on service to customers
• Helping people relax and feel comfortable
• Learning and improving massage and grooming techniques
• Paying attention to small details
• Building trust with customers
• Working together as part of a professional team

These services are not simply temporary tasks before becoming a Stylist.

They are an important and professional part of the Barber Assistant position itself.

Our goal is for you to develop your techniques to a level where customers genuinely feel:

“That was excellent.”
“I would like you to do it again.”

The satisfaction of receiving this kind of feedback directly from customers is one of the most rewarding parts of this profession.

✨ What You Will Learn

Depending on your current experience and skill level, training will be adjusted individually.

Core Assistant Skills

You will learn and develop:

• Professional shampoo techniques
• Neck & shoulder massage
• Customer service
• Facial treatments
• Grooming treatments
• Treatment preparation
• Shaving techniques
• Professional customer care

If you already have experience in some of these areas, we will assess your current skills and help you progress from there.

If you are completely new to the industry, we will teach you step by step from the fundamentals.

🌱 Your First 2–3 Months

For candidates who are new to these services, the first priority will be developing strong skills in:

Shampoo + Neck & Shoulder Massage + Basic Treatments

Our goal is for you to become confident enough to provide these core services independently to customers.

Estimated progress: approximately 2–3 months

Potential guideline: around 5,000–6,000 points/month

After mastering the fundamentals, you can gradually expand your skills into facial treatments, grooming services, shaving and other barber treatments.

The more services you master, the more opportunities you have to earn points and increase your monthly income.

Training speed and results vary depending on previous experience, practice and individual progress.

📈 Skill & Income Progression

Stage 1 – Core Assistant Skills

Shampoo + Neck & Shoulder Massage + Basic Treatments

Estimated guideline: 2–3 months

Potential: 5,000–6,000 points/month

Stage 2 – Full Assistant Services

Develop additional skills including:

• Facial treatments
• Grooming services
• Shaving
• Additional barber treatments

Estimated guideline: approximately 5–6 months

Potential: 10,000+ points/month

These timelines are estimates only.

Candidates with previous salon, barber, massage or grooming experience may progress faster, while beginners may require more time depending on individual development.

✂️ Future Career Opportunities

This position is primarily for a Barber Assistant.

Becoming a Stylist is not required.

You can continue developing your expertise in shampooing, massage, shaving, grooming and treatment services and grow professionally as an Assistant.

However, if you later decide that you would like to become a Stylist, we can also support your development in areas such as:

• Men's haircutting
• Hair colouring
• Perming
• Advanced barbering techniques

Your career direction is your choice.

We will listen to your individual goals and support your development accordingly.

🏆 Experience Is Valuable. Character Is Just as Important.

We are very happy to meet candidates who already have experience in:

• Barber shops
• Hair salons
• Shampooing
• Massage
• Facial treatments
• Grooming
• Customer service
• Other related service industries

Your previous skills and experience will be valued.

However, we do not hire based on experience alone.

We believe that technical skills can be developed, but attitude and character are equally important when providing premium customer service.

We particularly value:

• A positive attitude
• Reliability
• Punctuality
• Sincerity
• Respect for customers and colleagues
• Teamwork
• Attention to detail
• Willingness to practise and improve
• A genuine desire to provide excellent service

Experienced candidates are highly welcome.
