Edit: relocated in March 2024 to a nearby smaller store. Still worth visiting though (although it's barbers only now and no coffee). Really great barber that's managed to balance the slick old-school style with approachable staff and a reasonable price list. There's coffee at the front with some limited seating, but plenty of open space at the back for the barber area. Two or three large, plush Chesterfield sofas act as the waiting area, and there are 7 or more barber's chairs. The cut itself was great and it didn't feel rushed but also didn't take an overly long time. Highly recommended.

This place offers great service and staff is superb friendly! Been having my haircut here for the past two years. Every time is an awesome fresh cut with a solid fade. Highly recommended Joseph for an exceptional classic pompadour haircut experience!

If you’re in Singapore and looking for a right grooming, its a place worth visiting. Loved my experience. The barbers out here are damn professionals, skilful, and humble ones. Take their recommendation and allow them to craft. They do a wonderful job - whatever the style is. Classic to ultra modern. They know the game. Few other add ons, if you are here. They have a coffee shop, you can also work, and the interiors are classic too.

I had a great experience recently with Nana, who recommended me a layered top and short back and sides. She meticulously took care of every detail, and I love the end result (retained a good length of hair on top while still being very light in our hot weather). The cut took about one hour with a wash, and I paid $35, a very reasonable price for the quality of service. I also had a cut by another barber while the shop was still at the old location, and had a great experience there too.

So glad that I found this place. Danny is a great and attentive barber who is very personable and friendly. Extremely happy with the cut, shave and all round grooming. Highly recommended

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Hounds charge?›
Grooming prices in Singapore typically vary by pet size, breed, and coat type, so the final figure can differ from a base rate. Smaller dogs with short coats generally attract lower fees, while larger breeds or those with dense or double coats may incur surcharges. Add-on services such as de-shedding treatments, teeth brushing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning are usually priced separately. For an accurate quote, contact Hounds directly via WhatsApp or phone with your pet's breed, size, and the services you need. Confirm the full breakdown — including any add-ons — before booking. See the full pet grooming cost guide for Singapore →
What vaccinations does Hounds require?›
Most grooming providers in Singapore require dogs to be up to date on core vaccinations, typically DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza) and rabies. For cats, the FVRCP vaccine is the standard requirement. Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccination is commonly required at facilities that also offer boarding or daycare alongside grooming. Vaccinations are generally expected to have been administered within the past 12 months, and proof is usually needed at drop-off. Contact Hounds directly to confirm their specific vaccination policy before your first appointment, as requirements can vary between providers.
Is Hounds licensed and insured?›
In Singapore, grooming-only facilities are not subject to the same AVS licensing requirements as boarding kennels, but reputable providers typically carry insurance to cover situations where a pet is injured or becomes unwell during a session. It is worth asking Hounds directly whether they hold any form of pet business insurance and what their protocol is if an incident occurs. Hounds is KakiList verified, meaning its operating details and contact channels have been confirmed by a real person. It is not currently listed as ACRA registered on this directory. Visit the facility if possible, confirm the vaccination and handling policies, and check insurance coverage before your first drop-off.
