The Crew Cut is one of the most classic men's haircut styles that never goes out of fashion. Known for its clean, tapered sides and slightly longer top, this low maintenance haircut is ideal for guys who want a sharp, professional look without the daily styling fuss.

It's especially practical in Singapore’s heat, making it a go-to haircut for those who prefer something neat, breathable, and easy to manage.

Best suited for oval, square, or round face shapes, the Crew Cut is a timeless choice for men who want to look put-together with minimal effort.

The Textured Crop is a trendy men's haircut that combines effortless style with practicality. Featuring choppy layers and a naturally tousled top, this haircut is perfect for guys who want a laid-back yet fashion-forward look.

One of the biggest perks? It’s intentionally messy, so there’s no need for combing or blow-drying, making it a great low maintenance haircut for busy mornings.

It also holds up well in Singapore’s humidity and flatters face shapes like oval, diamond, or heart by adding texture and balance.

3. Ivy League

The Ivy League is a refined men's haircut that blends style and simplicity. As a longer take on the Crew Cut, it features enough length on top to part or side-sweep, giving you the flexibility to wear it styled or naturally neat.

This low maintenance haircut is perfect for professionals or students who want a smart, polished appearance without the need for constant grooming. Its classic shape flatters square, oval, and rectangular face shapes, making it a versatile haircut choice for men who value both form and function.

4. Side Swept Undercut

This low maintenance haircut requires minimal styling once trimmed to shape, making it an excellent option for those who prefer a polished appearance without the daily effort.

It’s also a flattering haircut choice for round, oval, and square face shapes, as the side-swept top helps elongate the face.
