LA Barbershop at VivoCity brings the refined art of Japanese grooming to Singapore's premier waterfront shopping destination. As a concept by the renowned Komars Group from Japan, this establishment represents one of the first barbershops in Singapore to offer a comprehensive, bespoke grooming experience exclusively for men. The sleek, contemporary interior creates an atmosphere that blends traditional barbering craftsmanship with modern aesthetic sensibilities, making each visit feel like a premium retreat rather than a routine haircut.
The barbershop's extensive service menu goes far beyond standard haircuts, offering a full spectrum of grooming services that cater to the modern gentleman. Their signature premium haircut includes not just the cut itself, but also a thorough wash, precision blow dry, styling, and a relaxing shoulder and neck massage that transforms a simple trim into a holistic wellness experience. Additional services include professional face shaves, full beard shaves, and beard trim combinations starting from 2, all performed with meticulous attention to detail. More unique offerings like head massages and traditional ear-cleaning services set LA Barbershop apart from conventional grooming establishments.
Operating Monday to Friday from 11am to 9pm and weekends from 10:30am to 9pm, LA Barbershop occupies a strategic location at #02-162 VivoCity. Given its popularity among discerning clientele who appreciate quality grooming services, advance bookings are highly recommended to avoid extended wait times. Whether preparing for an important meeting or simply maintaining a polished appearance, patrons find the combination of expert barbers, premium products, and thoughtful service makes LA Barbershop a standout destination in Singapore's competitive men's grooming landscape.
I called earlier today to check if an appointment was needed for my twins haircut and was told there was no need and to just walk in. When we arrived about 30 minutes later, around 4.15pm, we were told to take a queue number and that the next available slot would only be at 6pm.
If I had been informed of the long waiting time during my call, I would have simply booked an appointment for another day. Waiting close to two hours with young children is not reasonable.
In future, your staff should at least advise customers on the actual waiting time so that we can plan properly. This lack of information caused unnecessary inconvenience and frustration.

Waiting time was reasonable when we went one weekend. Stylist seems unskilled. I brought to attention the way she cuts, but she just reasoned that it was because my child hair was ponytailed prior, which I doubt because even after a blow drying, it was still uneven!
The way she layered my child's hair was so irregular. Should've taken into consideration to the babies haircut ahead of us, which were also not nice. The lady was nice and polite but her skill seems untrained.
it is not recommended for kids. Price is 24$

The auntie who cut my hair needs to retire. I said French Crop, not root crop!!! Very disappointing!!
If you’re going here to cut your hair, ask any barbers except auntie. What a mess.
Note: The guy barbers are really good. Very professional.

Poor experiment overall
1) upon arrival they told me they canceled by booking due to resources issues. I question why they didn’t phone me in advance and they told me they did. However they can’t pull out any phone record as I questioned. This is Not ethical
2) I m in a rush to have a haircut on that day but they tried to push me away. I refused so they finally advised me to come in - turn out they have resources it’s just they are lazy.
3) I came in with my hair styled with product and they refused to wash my hair before the haircut even after I requested . Lazy again.
4) they cannot even balance left and right during the cut and requires me to advise them how to touch up for multiple times. And obvious my hair has been mess up by these unprofessional people

Since LA barber mess up with my hair - I went to somewhere more professional to fix and the new barber also questioned why LA barber would manage a haircut like this and it’s clearly destructive and unnecessary for the client .
Once again don’t go here for any one any age. They are worse than amateur
I m not sure if this is this branch’s problem or the whole chain is just unprofessional. But if you care your style than you should not go here.
The barbers are mostly unprofessional and you should doubt how they became qualified for the job or being hired.

The staff are very friendly and nice and hair dresser was careful and polite. However, felt that my baby's hair looked nicer before going than after..
They seem to have only a standard way or style for cutting baby's hair. Looks like a bowl and does not really look nice at all. Highly recommend to go elsewhere if its for baby. They are definitely not suited to serve or cut baby's hair.
But for adults hair cut and styles is still pretty good for this shop.

First visited this outlet at VivoCity back in 2020 as my children needed a hair cut. We had been to a few salons/barbers that specialized in haircuts for children, but the experience wasn't great as the children were still afraid of getting their hair cut (despite the presence of tablets/TVs/toys to distract them).
The hair stylists in this particular outlet were really professional and also gentle with the children, and this helped to ease their comfort levels and they finally had their hair trimmed.
A few months on, the children now look forward to their hair cut sessions and my toddler son is even comfortable sitting on his own to get his hair done (which is a great relief!)
As the shop is quite popular with parents, do expect some waiting time.

I want to share a wonderful experience with you. There is a fantastic hairdresser named Candy who is incredibly patient with children. My son tends to cry easily, especially during haircuts. Despite sitting on my lap, he would cry every time. However, during his recent haircut, he was able to sit on his own and let Candy cut his hair without any tears. I'm definitely going back to Candy for his next haircut!
