HIRO GINZA PREMIUM BARBER is a Japanese-style barbershop with a branch inside Raffles Hotel Arcade in Singapore. The brand's concept centres on luxurious private rooms, combining Japanese precision, hospitality, and technique with attentive service and a refined atmosphere.
All seats are located in completely private rooms, designed to help guests tune out the city's hustle and bustle for a genuinely relaxing session. Haircuts are carried out by Japanese and locally trained stylists using techniques developed in Japan, with a menu spanning men's cuts, shaving, nail care, facial care, and head spa treatments. The salon uses top-quality products, ingredients, and equipment sourced from Japan throughout its services.
Premium shaving at the salon includes a choice of five aroma types, application of aromatic mist, ear, neck and nose hair shaving, eyebrow preparation, facial exfoliation, and a facial moisturizer mask. Face massage treatments combine an all-hand massage of the eyes, face, neck and shoulders using oil and an aroma mist. Guests can also opt for a standalone massage, shave, or shampoo without booking a full grooming package.
The Singapore outlet is located on the second floor of Raffles Hotel Arcade, reachable from the taxi stand on Seah Street, just around the corner from the entrance.
Tucked into the arcade of one of Singapore's most storied hotels, HIRO GINZA PREMIUM BARBER brings a distinctly Japanese approach to men's grooming to Raffles Hotel Arcade. The brand's concept is built around one central idea: a grooming experience that combines Japanese precision, hospitality, and technique with a refined, private atmosphere.
What sets the salon apart physically is its layout - every single seat is located in a completely private room, not a shared floor with partitions. The idea is to let guests tune out the noise and distractions of the city entirely, with the salon describing the goal as helping guests "relax deeply and leave feeling refreshed from within." It's a deliberate departure from a typical open-floor barbershop, aimed at guests who want their grooming time to double as genuine downtime.
Haircuts are carried out by a mix of Japanese and local stylists, all trained in Japanese cutting techniques. The menu extends well beyond a standard cut to include shaving, nail care, facial care, and head spa treatments. Every ingredient, chemical, and piece of equipment used in the salon is sourced as a top-quality product from Japan, reflecting the brand's broader positioning around Japanese craftsmanship.
Two services stand out as signature offerings. The premium shave lets guests choose from five aroma types, with an aromatic mist applied before the shave itself covers ear, neck, and nose hair, along with eyebrow preparation, facial exfoliation, and a finishing facial moisturizer mask. The face massage, meanwhile, is an all-hand treatment covering the eyes, face, neck, and shoulders, performed with oil while using the aroma mist to help guests unwind. Guests don't need to book a full grooming package to access these - a standalone massage, shave, or shampoo can be booked on its own.
The salon's flagship offering, the Men's Premium Course, bundles a haircut, shampoo, facial exfoliation, mist shaving with eyebrow trimming, a facial treatment mask, a shoulder massage, blow dry and set, and a drink, all in one roughly 75-minute session, usually priced at $165. First-time customers can currently access this course at a discount - $150 on weekdays (Monday to Friday) or $155 on weekends and public holidays - as part of a welcome offer.
The Singapore team includes Japanese stylists Sou and Maayu, alongside Shantene, Rozza, and Asiff. Reviewers have specifically called out staff by name - one guest thanked stylist Eri for a Men's Premium Course experience that matched what they'd previously enjoyed at Hiro Ginza's Harajuku branch, right down to the individual room concept and full treatment menu. Another reviewer, searching for a salon where Japanese would be understood, noted that while most staff were local, some spoke a little Japanese, and described the whole team as very friendly with confident cutting skills.
A few practical points are worth knowing before visiting: stylists can only be requested specifically for haircuts, not for other services, and GST (9%) does not apply to all products and services at the salon. The salon accepts Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and JCB.
