Hong Kong’s best barbershops

One of TST’s most stylish barbershops, Black Rose offers a comprehensive range of services. Haircuts can come with eyebrow shaping and you can even get your beard trimmed to match your look. You can also pick up grooming products here by the likes of Cheung Leung Kee.

For those looking for straightforward clean shaves and classic cuts, Fox and The Barber is a relaxing haven with a clean and understated interior featuring dark floors and contrasting white tiles. The staff are international, which somehow gives the barbershop a very 'London' vibe. The clean shave experience showcases expertise where every motion is intentional but gentle. Meanwhile, haircuts are smooth and made to suit the face shape. 

Hair House Barbershop is keeping the legacy of Shanghai barbers alive in Hong Kong where owner Adam Chan gives a mean sharp cut and fade using traditional methods. Inspired by 50s and 60s Hong Kong, Hair House Barbershop offers a nice trip down memory lane with its decor and vibes. 

As the eighth location of Handsome Factory, this Causeway Bay branch of the barbershop is hidden in a little cove between Fashion Walk and the World Trade Centre. The barbers here showcase great control as they give you a hair cut and wet shaves are swift, thorough and enjoyable. And when you're all done, you really do leave feeling a little more handsome than before.

This barbershop and lifestyle concept store has amassed a loyal following since opeing its doors in December 2020. Anyone who walks through the doors of Sauce can trust they are in the capable hands of a team with a combined experience of over 30 years. Sauce expresses itself in more ways than just barbering, often collaborating with other creatives, local brands, artists, and DJs. No matter your hair (or lack of), you'll leave with a fresh lid and some extra – quite possibly too much – sauce. 

Bringing back rockabilly vibes and pompadour hair-dos to the 852, The 59 Tattoo and Barber Shop is a 50s motorcycle club-inspired store that does everything from rockin’ haircuts to tattoos. There’s no other tattoo parlour quite like this retro British barbershop.

Housed within the Mandarin Oriental, this is the OG for high-end male grooming in Hong Kong, having employed only the very best since opening in 1963. There’s a distinct sense of old-world opulence here that extends to the VIP courtesy that everyone receives. Plus, the haircuts and other treatments are seriously top-drawer.

An offshoot of Attire House, The Beau Barbershop is an amalgamation of English barber traditions and Korean pampering, all in a gentleman's club-style setting. Drawing inspiration from well-groomed gentlemen George 'Beau' Brummell and Duke Wellington, the building in which the barber is located, The Beau is truly a gentleman's barbershop offering a full range of grooming services including hair cuts, wet shaves and facial massages by highly-skilled barbers. The shop offers gentlemen’s barber and grooming services from Tuesday to Saturday and exclusive ladies hairstyling service from Sunday to Monday. 

Too Far East feels modern, open and bright but at the same time, ties into a time gone by with its simple furnishings and retro style tiles – mixing old-school barbershop techniques with a stylish interior and attitude. The uniforms also embrace a touch of vintage, honouring the Shanghainese barbers of old Hong Kong. Rest assured that you'll leave with a sharp look thanks to their lineup of pro international barbers.

Well over half a century old, this barbershop has been serving the Choi Hung area for generations. The establishment is of the Shanghainese school of barbering and is unashamedly old school. From chairs and decor to some of the equipment used here, a visit to this barbershop will give you a truly traditional haircut experience.
