Acidic ChopShop is a barbershop at 135 Jurong Gateway Road, #02-335, Singapore 600135, describing itself as a shop filled with friendliness, laughter, satisfied customers and a group of passionate barbers, under the motto "Second chance to make the first impression."
The team is led by founder and Senior Barber CR, described as the mastermind behind the shop's operations with a sharp attention to detail, alongside Head Barber and Creative Lead Barber K, known as the shop's resident fashionista who keeps up with the latest styles. The rest of the team includes Junior Barbers Hong, Prince, fiqy and YW — the latter a polytechnic student moonlighting as a barber.
Acidic ChopShop offers a full range of haircuts across different barber levels, from an apprentice haircut carried out by a trainee under supervision, up to services from the owner/head barber himself, plus a discounted first-timer haircut package and fortnightly trim rates for regulars. Beyond standard cuts, the shop offers beard trims, eyebrow trimming, hair colouring (single-tone highlights), a Japanese ice-mint scalp treatment aimed at scalp health and hair loss prevention, kids' haircuts (ages 6–12), and a men's cold perm for a wavy crown-area look.
The shop is open Monday to Saturday from 11am to 9pm, and Sunday from 11am to 6pm, and keeps an active presence on Instagram and Facebook.
Tucked into 135 Jurong Gateway Road, Acidic ChopShop describes itself simply as a barbershop filled with friendliness, laughter, satisfied customers, and a group of passionate barbers — built around the idea that everyone deserves a "second chance to make the first impression."
Acidic's team bios read less like a corporate roster and more like a group of mates who happen to be excellent at cutting hair. Founder and Senior Barber CR is described as the mastermind behind the shop's operations, with an attention to detail sharp enough to "give you a laceration." Head Barber and Creative Lead Barber K is the shop's resident fashionista, versatile enough to deliver pretty much any hairstyle a client has in mind. Rounding out the team are Junior Barbers Hong, Prince, fiqy, and YW — the latter a polytechnic student moonlighting in the chair between studies. Each barber can be booked individually through the shop's online booking system.
Acidic's pricing structure reflects the experience level of the barber doing the work. An apprentice haircut, carried out by a trainee under supervision, starts at $15, while a junior barber haircut — done by someone with months of experience, checked over by a senior or head barber — runs $30. Senior barber haircuts (including a wash) are $45, and going straight to the owner and head barber for an adult haircut with wash and style costs $50.
For first-time customers, there's a dedicated $40 haircut package covering consultation, cut, wash and styling — a way to try the shop out before committing to a regular barber. Regulars who come in every two weeks can take advantage of discounted trim rates, at $37 for a trim-only cut or $39 with the owner/head barber. Kids aged 6 to 12 have their own dedicated haircut service at $35.
Acidic offers a range of add-ons and combination services for clients who want more than a standard trim. Eyebrow trimming can be added to a haircut for $50 (or $55 with the owner/head barber), while a beard trim paired with a haircut runs $75 ($80 with the owner/head barber) — done in a slightly longer 90-minute session. A single-tone highlight is available for $65.
One standout offering is the shop's scalp treatment, which uses four different Japanese ice mint products to cleanse the scalp and help prevent hair loss — available on its own for $57, or combined with a full haircut and wash in a two-hour session for $102. For clients wanting a change in texture rather than colour, Acidic also offers a men's cold perm focused on the crown area, aimed at achieving a wavy look, priced at $120.
Standalone services round out the menu too: a beard trim alone runs $30, and a simple wash and style with a product of the client's choice is $25.
Acidic ChopShop is open seven days a week — Monday through Saturday from 11am to 9pm, and Sunday from 11am to 6pm — making it accessible for both weekday and weekend appointments. The shop is easy to find at 135 Jurong Gateway Road, #02-335, and keeps in touch with customers and the local community through Instagram and Facebook.
Appointments can be made online, with the option to book a specific barber directly — whether that's the founder himself, the creative-lead head barber, or one of the junior team members building their own following. For anyone new to the shop, the discounted first-timer haircut is a straightforward way to find out which chair suits you best.
