For the very first time in history, Wahl’s inaugural barbering showdown is happening in Southeast Asia. All barbers and hairdressers in Singapore looking to pit themselves against other national bests and top barbers from Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam are invited to take part — at no cost at all; registration is entirely free-of-charge.

Running a successful barber shop business in Singapore takes more than being a talented barber. It also requires business acumen, effective marketing strategies, and the best tools of the trade. If you’re looking to turn your barber shop or hairdresser salon into a lucrative source of income, here are 3 ways you can start:
