Saints Studio is a friendly neighbourhood barbershop at Block 109, Bukit Batok West Ave 6, built around a simple mission: 'a bunch of barbers who love not only hair, but the banter, interaction and bond that we share with our clients that we are proud to call, friends.' Their tagline says the rest — Born to Impress, Devoted to Passion.
The team is led by founder Tara, the shop's self-styled resident fashion 'icon' whose tough, tattooed exterior hides one of the friendliest, funniest guys you'll meet. He's joined by Barber Matt, the youngest member with nearly a decade in the scene who spans Korean-esque styles and barbershop classics; Lefty Lil, the studio's only left-handed barber and a fan of heavy-texture Euro-styles with bulkier, softer fades; and Barber Dennis (ROY), the gentle giant whose razor skills, honed across Singapore and Malaysia, make tight fades and soft tapers easy work.
Services cover the full barbering range: hour-long adult haircuts that include consultation, wash and styling; cuts for kids and teens aged 5 to 18; beard trims and hot towel shaves finished with hot and cold towels; hair tattoos and designs; and combo packages pairing a cut with beard work or a shave. Loyal customers who return within two weeks get a dedicated discounted trim as a token of appreciation.
Open daily from 11am — until 9pm Mondays to Saturdays and 5pm on Sundays — Saints Studio takes online bookings so you can choose your barber and settle into an unhurried chair.
Tucked into the ground floor of Block 109 on Bukit Batok West Ave 6, Saints Studio is the kind of barbershop where the haircut is only half the reason to visit. The studio describes its mission simply: 'a bunch of barbers who love not only hair, but the banter, interaction and bond that we share with our clients that we are proud to call, friends.' That sentiment, paired with their tagline 'Born to Impress, Devoted to Passion', sets the tone for everything that happens behind their chairs.
This is barbering in the traditional sense — a consultation before the clippers come out, a wash and style built into every cut, and old-school rituals like hot towel shaves — but there's nothing dated about the styles on offer, from Korean-inspired cuts to Euro-textured looks and classic barbershop fades.
Every Saints Studio barber brings a distinct personality and speciality. Founder Tara is the mastermind behind the shop's conception and its self-declared resident fashion 'icon' — behind the tough, tattooed exterior, clients find one of the friendliest, funniest and most down-to-earth people around.
Barber Matt is the youngest member of the team but has already spent almost a decade in the barbering scene. He works painstakingly to package the age-old traditions of barbering for everyone who walks through the door, while keeping up to date on everything from Korean-esque styles to the barbershop classics everyone knows and loves.
Lefty Lil is, as the name suggests, the shop's only left-handed barber — and truly unique in his work. With experience across more than five barbershops over the years, he has a strong passion for Euro-styles, and his work resonates with those who appreciate heavy texture, flow and bulkier, softer fades. The cool, intense demeanor hides one of the most laid-back members of the team, who always has a joke for every situation.
Barber Dennis, known as ROY, is the resident Gentle Giant. Despite his menacing looks, he is easily the kindest, most polite and innocent member of the team. With experience in barbershops across Singapore and Malaysia, his razor skills are second to none — tight fades and soft tapers are easy work for him, and his sense of diligence means he'll always go above and beyond to satisfy your needs.
The anchor service is the adult haircut: a full hour that includes a consultation, hair wash and styling. If you're not sure what you want, the barbers will work with you to find a style that suits your hair length, texture and even lifestyle. Teens and kids from 5 to 18 get the same hour-long treatment with styles of their choosing.
Beard care gets serious attention here. The beard trim — whether a simple clean-up or a complete restyle — comes with both hot and cold towels, and the hot towel shave promises to leave you 'smooth as a baby's bottom'. Combination packages pair a full cut with a beard trim or a hot towel shave for those after the complete package.
For something more individual, the haircut with hair design service adds a hair tattoo or design to your cut, whatever your age. And if you've got an event coming up and your hair simply won't cooperate, a 30-minute wash and style will sort you out.
Regulars are looked after too: the 2 Weeks Trim is a dedicated service for loyal customers who return within a fortnight, rewarded with a built-in discount as a token of appreciation — hair wash and styling included, naturally.
Saints Studio runs an easy online booking system where you can choose your barber and service in advance — handy, since each haircut is an unhurried, hour-long appointment rather than a quick chop. The studio opens at 11am daily, running until 9pm Monday through Saturday and closing earlier at 5pm on Sundays. Look for unit #01-04 at Block 109 Bukit Batok West Ave 6, and follow the studio on Instagram or Facebook for updates.
Whether you're after a precision fade from the Gentle Giant, a textured Euro-style from Lefty, or simply good banter in the chair, Saints Studio has built its name on sending every client out the door looking sharp — and feeling like a friend.
