Finally, men don't have to visit women's beauty salons! And in most cases, despite the fact that they provide a universal range of services and serve both men and women, they look exclusively feminine. All the craftsmen are women, the magazines in the waiting area are women's, and most of the clients are women. Men have to listen to women's gossip, watch women's TV shows, and refuse the receptionist's jasmine green tea.
Fortunately, barbershops are back in fashion: stylish men's haircuts, beard trimming, coffee, beer and no jasmine.
Everything new is well forgotten old
Today, barbershops opening all over the country look like something new, creative and very original. Many owners of large beauty salons that do not have a specific concept are perplexed, how can they stay afloat, providing such a narrow range of services? But barbershops don't just stay afloat - they thrive.
It's all about men getting their territory back. If you delve into the history of the development of hairdressing as a business,then we learn that once barber shops were visited exclusively by men. Barbers skillfully decorated mustaches and beards, shaved smoothly and cut their hair exclusively in fashion. Later, when women stood up for their rights, the beauty industry also "changed sex." Modern universal beauty salons do not provide services such as shaving or beard trimming, and if they are, then men are often embarrassed to apply for them.
21st century barbershops
What are barbershops for men today? A barbershop is a place where boys, young men and men can not only get their hair in order, but also feel like members of a private men's club. Each such establishment has its own concept and its own specific "male" design.
Firma is one of the first and rapidly developing chains of men's hairdressers in Russia. It not only provides hairdressing services for men, but also maintains a certain atmosphere. The design of the salons is made in a laconic and definitely not feminine style. The main materials are wood and leather, on the walls there are black and white images of world sports stars, famous musicians and actors. In the bar at the salon you can drink not only strong coffee, but also beer, and even whiskey. This is what barbershops for men looked like in the 20-30s of the last century in America, and this tradition was revived by the Firm. The barbershop works for American Crew, an American brand that produces hair and skin care products for men. All masters skillfully wield scissors and razors, providing everything necessary formodern gentleman service.
Services
A unique service that every barbershop provides is the “Royal Shave”. Universal beauty salons do not practice straight razor shaving, so modern men have long lost the opportunity to experience the royal shave ritual. And only now, with the revival of barbershops, such a service is available to them again.
What else awaits gentlemen in the barbershop for men:
- Haircuts. From trendy and creative to classic.
- Correction of mustache and beard.
- Shaving the head.
- Complexes of services. Almost every barbershop has them: haircuts + shaving, haircuts + beard and mustache correction.
- Camo gray hair.
- Hair tattoo (shaving patterns).
- Eyebrow correction.
- Scalp care.
Reviews
What do men who have visited a barbershop at least once talk about? Reviews are almost unanimously positive. Pleasantly please customers:
- The atmosphere of salons. A barbershop is a very stylish place, usually decorated in a retro style. The interior has many interesting details that you want to consider.
- Experienced hairdressers. Not all universal masters make perfect men's haircuts. In men's barbershops, masters specialize exclusively in men's haircuts, shaving, beard and mustache trimming. All masters are constantly trained and improve their skills, learning about the latest trends in men'sfashion.
- Service. The concept of the establishments is based on a respectful and attentive attitude towards customers, which they note in their reviews. Unfortunately, one-stop beauty salons are beginning to forget that, in addition to a haircut, clients need to be paid attention. We can say that men are very lucky.
- Spectrum of services. A barbershop is a place where men can be helped to create a new image, or offer hair and facial care.
Customers also note disadvantages, but insignificant. First of all, it is expensive. Some barbershops have really high prices. But not in all, many men's hairdressers offer their services at more affordable prices - competition makes itself felt.
