Hair, someone clever once said, is the crown you wear every day. So, it pays to look after it; to treat it with the same attention and love you would other parts of your body.
Choosing the right barber is important.
You ought to be able to walk straight in, hungover or otherwise, sit down in the chair and feel the weight of the world fall off your shoulders.

Now, if you are an investment banker who flies around the world 'cutting deals' (and fucking over employees), you need to think about the hippest place to get a cut and shave when you suddenly find yourself in Paris .. or Hong Kong. For the rest of us, we are unlikely to ever want to visit a 'retro' barbershop in Singapore - that specializes in male grooming and flowers - but its all still kind of funny.
Here is a list of expensive, trendy barbershops for rich douchebags.
1. FIGARO'S BARBERSHOP (LISBON)
The first thing to know about Figaro’s is that its owner works with David Beckham.
We have not been able to confirm whether its possible to get a hair cut without having a neck tattoo.
2. LA BARBIÈRE AT THE HOTEL DE CRILLON (PARIS)
They really take it to another level at Hotel de Crillon by only having a single seat.
The barbers are brought in from an actual barbershop. (La Barbière de Paris)
3. FILTHY RICH BARBERSHOP (NEW YORK)
Ever since Filthy Rich opened its doors back in 2006, rappers including Flo Rida and Big Sean, as well as NBA players Patrick Patterson and Austin Rivers have made a b-line to Queens .
4. DEEP CUTS (SINGAPORE)
Started by a group of friends with too much of daddy's money and nothing to do with their lives. The 'barbers' at this retro 'parlour' claim to have a passion for not just cutting hair but also flowers (?) and 'male grooming'.
5. MANLY AND SONS BARBER COMPANY (LA)
Although it only opened in 2014, Manly and Sons has become something of an LA legend and now boasts 3 salons across the city.
6. ERA BARBERS (HONG KONG)
Era is a relative newcomer to the well-heeled 'scene' for Hong Kong investment bankers who don't want to have their hair cut by a local.
