Grooming has been around for thousands of years. As children, we learn that frequent haircuts are essential to looking presentable. This belief starts forming at an early age and strengthens into adulthood. For most men, haircuts are an innate monthly routine. A new generation of men also find additional grooming services like manicures, pedicures, facial treatments, waxing services, etc., essential. Men’s hair and nails grow quickly, driving a consistent demand for grooming services. We offer a more relaxing and luxurious version of what most have received since childhood, and this is understood without discussion as soon as you walk into one of our shops
