Question for the guys?

Recommended Posts

I'm a hairstylist and for Christmas I'm giving the ladies a complementary facial. I was wondering would the guys like a facial too or something else? I'm not your quick cut kinda stylist I charge $22 for a mens cut and I just wanted to let my clients know that they're appreciated.;)

i say go for it.... you might be suprised at how many will use it... or just make it either or for a haircut... cuz eventhough we won't admit it, we like getting a haircut and looking all spify too sometimes....

Maybe a barber style close shave and a hot towel wrap.;)

I would definitely go for that.



The place I go (a men's salon) combines a facial with a shave. Of course they also give a neck/shoulder massage before every haircut, serve beer, have a tv at every station, and offer manicures, pedicures, and eyebrow waxing. :S

wow whats that place called? curious to see if they have them here...



MenZone - I don't think there's more than one. I've been really impressed by them, but also got a little sticker shock (being a guy & all, I'm used to fairly cheap cuts).

Before this place opened I went to a place called The Man Shop that I think might be franchising soon... but they didn't offer the full suite, just haircuts/coloring, beard trims, and hot foam shaves (also no beer).

Both places are similar in being tailored for adult men (kids/women discouraged), including pool table, X-Box, putting green, pinball, etc in the waiting room, good looking staff, and male-oriented programming on the TVs (Man Shop was either sports or guy movies, MenZone gives each customer the remote for their own TV). They come up with manlier sounding names for their services, versus "manicure, pedicure, and facial", but that doesn't change what they're doing. I, for one, like being pampered by a hot chick once in awhile. :$;)B|

I'm scared to use a razor without the guard so whats the use you can't beat a no guard razor.[:/]



One place I've been uses a straight razor, the other place just uses an M3 Power type thing that ought to be easier to wield (just like shaving your legs).

Yeah just do the hot towel bit with an M3 power razor and tell the customers it's better anyway. ;)

Hot towel bit costs you next to nothing and you can move on to the prep the next customer while they "cook" during busy periods so it ought not eat too much time either.

Careful with the straight-razor thing. I seem to recall hearing/reading/absorbing the info that only licensed/ certified barbers can use one - that it's a separate sort of deal... might want to check state regs on that if you're thinking about it.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

I’ll happily decline your invitation. The Senator has recently become a cue ball and he is now using the same Mach 3 for both face and cranium. What ever drove me to attempt this grooming practice still escapes me but I’m liking it nevertheless, as does the SO judging from her expressions of “enthusiasm” ;)

Wow, for a $22 haircut you already need to include a shampoo, hot towel, and head and neck massage.

What the heck do you do to a man's hair that you can justify $22 for? The most I ever paid for one was $25, and that included some dye work (don't ask, it was a bet).

This is not meant to be taken personally at all. I'm just saying that my regular barber charges me $9, is done in about 8 minutes max, and unless I get a shave, I couldn't imagine having anything else done to my hair.....but then again, I am but a simple country boy, what do I know?
