Finally, men do not need 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 female. All masters are women, magazines in the waiting area are women, and most clients are women. Men have to listen to women's gossip, watch women's television shows and refuse the jasmine green tea offered by the administrator.
Fortunately, barbershops are back in fashion: stylish men's haircuts, beard correction, coffee, beer and no jasmine.
Everything new - well forgotten old
Today, barbershops opening all over the country look something new, creative and very original. Many owners of large beauty salons that do not have a specific concept are perplexed as to how to stay afloat, providing such a narrow range of services? But barbershops do not just keep afloat - they are thriving confidently.
The thing is that men return their territory. If we delve into the history of the development of hairdressing as a business, we will find out that once men exclusively visited barbers. The barbers skillfully designed mustaches and beards, shaved smoothly and cut exclusively in fashion. Later, when women defended their rights, the beauty industry also “changed sex”. In modern universal beauty salons, such services as shaving or beard correction are not provided, and if they are, men are often embarrassed to apply for them.
21st Century Barbershop
What are hairdressers for men today? Barbershop is a place where boys, youths and men can not only put their hair in order, but also feel like members of a closed men's club. Each similar institution has its own concept and its own specific "male" design.
One of the first and fastest growing networks of men's hairdressers in Russia is Firma. Here, they not only provide hairdressing services for men, but also maintain a certain atmosphere. Interior design is made in a concise and definitely not feminine style. The main materials are wood and leather, black and white images of world sports stars, famous musicians and actors on the walls. In the bar at the salon you can drink not only strong coffee, but also beer, and even whiskey. This was how hairdressing salons for men looked in America in the 1920s and 1930s, and the Firm revived this tradition. Barbershop works for American Crew - an American brand that produces men and women hair and skin care products. All masters skillfully wield scissors and razors, providing all the services necessary for a modern gentleman.
Services
A unique service that every barbershop provides is the “Royal Shave”. Universal beauty salons do not practice shaving with a razor, so modern men have long lost the opportunity to experience the royal shaving ritual. And only now, with the revival of barbershops, such a service is available to them again.
What else awaits gentlemen in a hairdresser for men:
- Haircuts. From trendy and creative to classic.
- Mustache and beard correction.
- Shaving the head.
- Complexes of services. Almost every barbershop has them: haircuts + shaving, haircuts + beard and mustache correction.
- Camouflage gray hair.
- Hair tattoo (shaving patterns).
- Eyebrow correction.
- Scalp care.
Reviews
What are the men who have visited barbershop at least once? Reviews are almost unanimously positive. Pleasantly pleasing customers:
- The atmosphere of the salons. Barbershop is a very stylish place, usually decorated in retro style. The interior has a lot of interesting details that I want to consider.
- Experienced hairdressers. Not all universal wizards make perfect men's haircuts. In men's hairdressers, masters specialize exclusively in men's haircuts, shaving, beard and mustache corrections. All masters are constantly trained and improve their skills, learning about the latest trends in men's fashion.
- Service. The concept of institutions has a respectful and attentive attitude towards customers, which they note in their reviews. Unfortunately, universal beauty salons are starting to forget that, in addition to cutting, customers need to pay attention. We can say that men are very lucky.
- Range of services. Barbershop is a place where men will be helped to create a new image, or to offer hair and facial skin care.
Customers note and cons, but insignificant. First of all, it is high cost. Some barbershops have really high prices. But not in all, many men's hairdressers offer their services at more affordable prices - competition is making itself felt.
