Why: We sent our intern Fitri to check out their Commonwealth branch and here's what he had to say, "This was my first ever 'gentlemen haircut' experience, so I was definitely nervous right from the start. However, the shop felt really cozy. The vintage aesthetic really takes you back in time, while still having that timeless vibe about it. It’s the little details, like the posters they put up, the vintage car toys, even the music they played. "

"It took around 90 minutes, but the final product is definitely worth the wait. Seeing the haircut, I felt really energised. There was this aura of confidence I got just looking at my reflection and knowing my hair looked this good. 10/10, would definitely check it out again."
