Philips and L’Oréal Paris Men Expert have joined forces to launch a pop-up barber shop at Singapore Changi Airport. The Male Grooming Club initiative is a partnership with Changi Airport Group, The Shilla Duty Free and Sprint-Cass. The barber shop, open from 13 December to 24 January, offers male passengers in Terminal 3 a range of grooming services, products and promotions.
Professional barbers use Philips’ range of shavers for a complimentary hot towel shave alongside head and face massages, finishing with treatment from the L’Oréal Paris Men Expert range. Individual consultations with a grooming adviser are also available.
The Male Grooming Club showcases Philips’ most advanced shavers featuring its ContourDetect technology. Other male grooming tools available at the pop-up store include Philips hair clippers, beard trimmers and body groomers.
L’Oréal Paris Men Expert offers a wide range of skincare products tailored to cover all major men skin concerns, such as anti-ageing and hydration.
The pop-up offers exclusive promotions such as S$50 (US$35) off selected Philips Shavers with any purchase of a L’Oréal Paris Men Expert gift set. Complimentary gifting services are also available along with a limited-edition gift bag with any purchase of a Philips male grooming tool or L’Oréal Paris Men Expert travel retail exclusive sets.
Changi Airport Group Senior Vice President of Airside Concessions Division Teo Chew Hoon said: “We are excited to partner Philips and L’Oréal Paris Men Expert to introduce this unique pop-up concept at Changi Airport.
