QB House at Blk 520 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh is the Toa Payoh branch of a haircut specialty store built around one idea: the 'Time-Saving' haircut. Rather than a full-service salon, the focus is a clean, well-executed cut completed sincerely, with no unnecessary procedures, supported by a streamlined service flow so customers can get a haircut whenever it suits them and get on with their day.
The brand runs on three values — be more honest, be more polite, be more convenient — and has kept hygiene measures in place since the start of the business to give customers peace of mind. Its customer service has been recognised with the 2025 SRA Excellent Service Award (EXSA), and the group was honoured as a 'City of Good' at the President's Volunteerism & Philanthropy Awards 2025.
Alongside the classic cut, QB House has introduced a Zero Fade Haircut Menu at three exclusive outlets, runs the QB Premium cut-and-style line, and offers a QB Rewards loyalty programme. The group operates islandwide and internationally, from Japan and Taiwan to New York and Canada.
Tucked under the HDB blocks along Lorong 6 Toa Payoh, QB House at Blk 520 is the Toa Payoh branch of a haircut specialty store that has become one of the most familiar names in quick, no-fuss grooming across Asia and beyond. The group, which also operates in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, New York, Canada, Vietnam and Malaysia, is built around a single idea: give people a proper haircut in the shortest possible time, and let them get on with their day.
QB House frames this as more than convenience. Its 'Time-Saving' philosophy treats a faster haircut as something with real social and economic value — time handed back to the customer. To make that work without cutting corners on quality, the brand has rolled out a series of initiatives over the years, from a streamlined service flow to clear guidance on how to order, all documented in the user guide on its website.
Three brand values shape what happens in the chair. 'Be more honest' means avoiding unnecessary procedures and completing the haircut sincerely — no add-ons you didn't ask for. 'Be more polite' means stylists stay close to the customer and deliver a high-quality cut every time. And 'be more convenient' means being able to get a haircut whenever you actually want one. As a specialty store, QB House concentrates on the haircut itself, done well, rather than a long salon menu.
First-timers often appreciate how predictable the experience is. Because the whole model is designed around efficiency, QB House publishes a service flow and a how-to-order guide on its website, so you can walk in knowing exactly what to expect — no ambiguity about what you are getting. It is a format that suits a quick lunchtime refresh just as well as a regular weekend trim.
Hygiene has been part of the playbook since the company began, and QB House is explicit about wanting to provide 'peace of mind' for social life. Customers are meant to relax in a safe, clean environment while an experienced hairstylist works — the group hires full-time and part-time stylists under the slogan 'Shine At QB, Be Yourself', with the pitch that staff can make customers smile by shining in a safe environment themselves.
The core menu is the haircut — the quick, sincere cut the brand is known for. Style-conscious customers should note the newer Zero Fade Haircut Menu, described by the company as crafted for precision, detail and modern style, though it is available at three exclusive outlets only, so it is worth confirming where it is offered before making a trip. The group has also introduced QB Premium, a step-up haircut and styling line showcased at its newer Lentor Modern outlet. Current SGD prices are published on the official website's user guide rather than on this listing.
The service has not gone unnoticed. QB House Singapore received the 2025 SRA Excellent Service Award (EXSA) for outstanding customer service, and was honoured as a 'City of Good' at the President's Volunteerism & Philanthropy Awards 2025, an award conferred by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam. That community streak shows in practical ways too: the company supported a Hair for Hope satellite event organised by the Children's Cancer Foundation at Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery.
The Toa Payoh shop sits at #01-52, Blk 520 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh, in a neighbourhood setting the brand describes as easily accessible. QB House runs outlets islandwide — searchable by route or by area on its website — so it is an easy stop while running errands around the estate. Frequent visitors can join the QB Rewards loyalty programme to make repeat cuts go further. If you are heading in for a specific service, a quick check of the outlet finder and user guide beforehand is the easiest way to confirm availability, hours and current prices.
