6. The Oven Cuttery

Pay-as-you-wish apprentice haircuts

Image adapted from: @theovencuttery via Instagram

You might be wondering whether The Oven Cuttery is a cafe or a barbershop. It’s both.

This barbershop was founded by the same individuals behind Mentega, or butter in English, which produces a range of hair products in small batches. They also share a space with Ellipsis, a cafe that serves speciality coffee and pastries.

Image adapted from: @theovencuttery via Instagram

The services at The Oven Cuttery are priced based on the barber you choose upon booking, which can be made online here.

There are haircuts (from RM85), beard trims (from RM55), and hot towel shaves (from RM75) provided by their team of six meticulous barbers. You can also opt for apprentice haircuts and beard trims that are on a pay-as-you-want basis.

7. OTHRS

Traditional wet shave with natural handmade shave soap

Most would be familiar with OTHRS in Subang Jaya. While this store has since closed, they are still operating from their Damansara Utama shop, which is helmed by a sole and skilled barber, Andrew.

Image adapted from: @othrsbarbers.uptowndu via Instagram

Prices for haircuts here depend on the look you’re going for. A shorter taper or 0.5 with styling will set you back RM49, while a skin fade and zero style with a hair rinse will cost RM59. Both will help you achieve that popular Peaky Blinders look – your choice will likely just depend on the hair length you’re going for after the trim.

If you have sensitive skin and want to get rid of that stubble, add on a Wet Shave (RM50), a traditional hot towel shave that utilises The Elektrik Chair’s natural handmade shave soap. A hairwash, with shampoo and hot water, is just RM10.

You can book an appointment to OTHRS online here.
