They are quite simply AWESOME! They are an old fashioned, no frills barbershop. Most of their barbers are old. However, all of them are very skilled. If you want a simple, clean men's haircut and shave, this is as good as you are going to get anywhere in the world. As of yesterday (Feb 8, 2012), they charged S$10 for a haircut. If you are looking for metrosexual cuts and coloring jobs, please go elsewhere. New Star works excellently for those who simply say: I want it short, medium or long, and trust the barber to do the right cut for the head -- the way barbers historically did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-72252004064342954162012-05-31T12:39:04.173+08:002012-05-31T12:39:04.173+08:00One Indian Barber Shop you should avoid at all cos...One Indian Barber Shop you should avoid at all costs in Singapore is New Star at Serangoon Road in Little India.

Now at my age, without a proud crop of hair to show off, I would quickly visit a Malay barber in any venue that is most convenient to me and I need not go to a particular barber because the standard and style of cutting of Malay barbers are rather uniform. There were few occasions I found the barber shaving my facial hairs (using a disposable blake) in a risky manner. I would politely tell him to cut short the process. Recently I told one barber that I wanted to forego the shaving part and he replied: "No problem, I can use a mini battery-operated device (blade-less)which acts like a battey shaver to do the job". This mini touch-up device did a great job and entirely to my satisfaction, putting off my fear of blade-shaving especially round the ears (what would happen when the barber is negligent, off balanced, or someone accidentally knocks him in the crowd shop?)Zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489706873295639555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-1195367729059457842008-04-15T10:32:00.000+08:002008-04-15T10:32:00.000+08:00Frankly, I don't like Indian barbers becos they ar...Frankly, I don't like Indian barbers becos they are very rough. They like to use a very fine comb to comb away the cut hairs and in the process literally scrap your scalp. I prefer Malay barbers.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the other night I saw this short documentary (~ 5 min) called Heartlanders. It is hosted by Chua En Lai. This episode featured a traditional barber shop in Potong Pasir, which even MP Chiam See Tong patronises. They charge only $8 per session.<BR/><BR/>I saw this very interesting leather 'belt' which is used to sharpen/clean the shaving blade. Nowadays cannot find such a 'cool' gadget anymore.Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-45378588323594072072008-04-14T13:16:00.000+08:002008-04-14T13:16:00.000+08:00Thanks for the info.
