About LA Barbershop - Novena Square

LA Barbershop is a dedicated men's grooming concept store created by Japan's Komars Group, offering a classic barbershop atmosphere inspired by nostalgia. Situated on the second floor of Novena Square, the shop provides an unhurried retreat where clients can step away from the bustle of the city and enjoy traditional male grooming rituals.

Going beyond standard haircuts, LA Barbershop blends old-school barbering traditions with modern techniques. The shop specializes in precision haircuts, traditional hot towel straight razor shaves, relaxing scalp and facial acupressure massages, and classic ear cleaning services. Designed as a comfortable social and grooming haven, it offers gentlemen a space to unwind, refresh, and receive meticulous attention to detail from trained barbers.

LA Barbershop Novena Square: Traditional Men's Grooming and Relaxation in Novena

Conveniently situated on the second floor of Novena Square, LA Barbershop provides a tailored sanctuary for gentlemen seeking a refined haircut and classic grooming experience. Launched under the banner of Japan’s Komars Group, LA Barbershop was envisioned to revive the nostalgic camaraderie of the traditional neighbourhood barbershop while upholding elevated Japanese hospitality and exacting grooming standards.

In an era dominated by quick-turnaround salon concepts, LA Barbershop emphasizes deliberate pacing and craft. The brand operates on the philosophy that a trip to the barber should not simply be a maintenance routine, but an restorative personal experience where patrons can decompress, enjoy attentive service, and walk out looking sharp.

The Traditional Shave and Grooming Rituals

At the core of the service menu are time-honoured barbering treatments executed with meticulous care. Straight razor shaving remains a standout discipline, conducted with rich shaving soap lather, layered hot towels to open pores, soothing aftershaves, and revitalizing cold towels to close the treatment. Whether opting for a clean face shave, a full beard treatment, or a meticulous clipper and razor beard trim, each session concludes with an invigorating quick shoulder massage.

Beyond shaving, LA Barbershop is among the few contemporary establishments offering specialized ear cleaning services. Combining outer canal and flap grooming with gentle ear massage, this heritage service draws patrons looking for an authentic, traditional pampering routine.

Precision Cuts, Massages, and Full Packages

Every haircut at the Novena Square branch is structured as a full grooming ritual. Haircuts for both short and medium styles incorporate clean razor outlines, hair washing, hot towels, relaxing scalp work, and professional styling. Clients seeking deeper stress relief can also book focused 20-minute acupressure head or face massage sessions, which utilize skin cleansing, facial massage cream, and regenerative masks.

For those looking for complete rejuvenation, the shop offers curated multi-service packages ranging from The Classic (haircut and scalp treatment) to The Whole Deal—a comprehensive 90-minute session pairing a haircut, scalp recharge treatment, full beard shave, and ear cleaning. The result is a grounded, thorough grooming experience right at the heart of Novena.
