Not only women, men too always want to look well-groomed, and this is the reason why they pay frequent visits to the barber shop. Though of course there are many professionals in the business, but which one you opt for will have a great impact on the kind of experience you have. If you want to enjoy a perfect experience then you need to find the best barber shop. But how do you find the best? If this is the question now running in your mind, then just follow the simple tips given below. 1. Convenience is important Time is important, so you need to find a barber shop that offers timely service. A good hair salon for men should be able to complete its task in no more than 30 minutes. Though most such salons work on a walk-in-basis, there are some shops where you will need to book an appointment. If you lead a busy life, and cannot invest time in booking an appointment and then wait for the day to come, then rather look for a shop that offers walk-in-basis service. 2. The right environment There are different hair salons for men, and each has their own personality. You need to select the one you are most comfortable with. If you are a mom looking for a barbershop to take your kids to, a working professional, or a police officer then you will not be comfortable with a shop that has guys drinking beer or using profane language. So, you need to first check if the shop has the right environment for you to move in. There is nothing wrong with any kind of environment, it is only, and only about your preference. 3. The cost A good professional barber is confident about his work and will likely cost you slightly more than other local small shops. So, you first need to decide what is more important for you, a perfect service, or the amount you will have to pay. If money plays an important role, you might have to settle for not so great services. 4. Experience of the staff Experience plays a very important role, more than you ever might have thought of. Now, clients need different types of haircut, something that is new and trendy. If a barber shop has just one barber who knows how to give you the latest cut to perfection, then perhaps you will need to wait long before your turn comes. So, it is important to learn about the experience of the staff. The more the number of professional experienced staffs, less will be your waiting time. 5. The staff behavior Yes, you need experienced barbers to get the right cut, but what if that person is rude, will not listen to what you have to say, and will just do things his way. You certainly will not like it. This is why you need to give importance to the way the staff behaves. Of course, you need not think about it too much, just that you must be comfortable with the barber. So, you just need to follow the simple tips given above and you will easily be able to find the best barbershop that will offer you the exact type of services you are looking for.

From barbershop (left) to bar (right) in the space of a day at Men + Co/Ms Collins. "Shave and a haircut, two bits!" goes the old seven-beat rhyme, recalling a halcyon era when a visit to the barber was about far more than a simple haircut.It might cost more than two bits these days, but good, old-fashioned barbering with all the trimmings is back in style, complete with a 21st-century twist. 1920s-era chairs are a focal point at Steve Salecich's Grand Royal barbers. By night, the building at 425 Collins Street in Melbourne's CBD trades as Ms Collins, a swish bar and nightclub. During daylight hours it transforms into Men + Co, a traditional barber shop. At 5pm, clippers are sheathed in favour of cocktails. M+, as it's known, is equipped with the traditional hallmarks of a barber's shop including chairs, mirrors and a barber's pole; yet you don't have to look too far for signs of its after-dark alter ego. Clients, for example, enter the shop via a roped passage. Inside there's a counter clad in gold mosaic tiles. At one end of the bar are glasses and a coffee machine, at the other end are shaving products. No ordinary barber shopClearly, this is no ordinary barber shop. Old-style meets new technology at Melbourne's Rockit. An impressive chandelier is suspended from the six-metre-high ceiling. And across the black glass wall, lined with shelves, are a range of alcoholic beverages from which to select. M+ also offers a shoe shining service, with a wooden plinth and metal supports for shoes. Lined in timber, with photos from the 1940s, there's a distinct New York feel to the place. Not surprisingly, barber Sammy Bouayad plied his trade in New York for a number of years. Counterpart Jo Williams also has that New York sensibility, although her accent is British. Good, old-style barbering at Grand Royal barbers. Old-fashioned service"We like to provide that old-fashioned service, as well as some of the styles you'd see in the 1940s and 50s," Bouayad says. "Men are coming in for the zero fades on the side and either ruffled or flat on the top. These styles tend to suit this interior," he says, adding he also sees more men wanting to be pampered as part of the process. William, a weekly customer, forks out $45 for a 'deluxe' shave. "I can't be bothered shaving. I come here once a week. Sammy's shaves are so close that they last at least three days. He massages your face like a professional masseur. It's not just a shave," says William, who by the week's end has stubble on his face. A collection of trinkets and memorabilia helps set the tone at Rockit. He also appreciates the combo of a barber shop combined with a bar. "In the 1920s, during the prohibition, guys used to get a 'shot' (of liquor) while they were getting a haircut," he says. Sydneysiders, too, are demanding – and getting – a better barbering experience. Back to the 1920sSteve Salecich, the owner of Grand Royal Barbers in Surry Hills, Darlinghurst and the CBD, witnessed the resurgence of traditional barbering about three years ago. "The trend started with men wanting short back and sides, requesting clippers, rather than scissors," says Salecich, who comes from five generations of barbers and has spent the last 15 years as head of Grand Royal Barbers. The Riley Street shop in Surry Hills features a bench and bar stools in the waiting area. "Gents can read a magazine or use their laptops before getting a haircut or a shave," he adds. And while the place is filled with memorabilia, the focus in his three stores is the 1920s barber chairs, complete with foot and head rests. While the shift in men's style to more traditional cuts has heralded a return to fashion for old-style barber shops, Salecich says there's enduring appeal in the banter with customers. "Guys feel comfortable, not just in the chair, but in chatting to others waiting their turn; everyone from musicians, to hipsters and businessmen." Abs' barber shop, in a bluestone building at the corner of Bourke and William streets in Melbourne, might appear to be the new kid on the CBD block. But owner and barber Ibrahim El Osman, known as Abs, has sharpened his skills (no pun intended) over the past 30 years. Barbering nirvanaWhile his other shop in Carson Place features a 1970s- style graffiti roller door with his name, his latest shop includes 11 traditional barber chairs, modeled on those from the 1920s. Customised in leather, and embossed in snakeskin, they're as close to barbering nirvana as one could imagine. "They just don't make these chairs anymore, so they were made to order," Abs says. The 11 chairs are evenly spaced within the 500-square-metre shop. Even with several comfortable lounges, Abs' is an overwhelming space. Abs or one of his staff can attend to gents seven days a week, from seven in the morning until seven at night. Clients can enjoy a hot towel shave at only $20, or a haircut at between $20 and $25. "We can do any style. But men tend to prefer short back and sides, and clipper cuts. Shaved heads are also becoming more popular," Abs says. Around the corner at 546 Collins Street is Rockit. Located within a 1930s Moderne building known as McPherson's, Rockit, unsurprisingly attracts musicians, but also businessmen and local office workers. Ironically, while Rockit has genuine old-fashioned appeal, on the day of visiting, three gents waiting their turn are checking their mobiles. Maybe the advent of technology has spurred this trend to the past, both in fit-out and in hairstyles. Clean, sharp and neatOwned by barber Evan Rolton, Rockit has a museum-like quality with the front glass counter brimming with relics from past barbering days. On one shelf are toy warriors collected from Evan's childhood. "Customers tend to add to the collection," says barber Sean Connolly, who, with his colleauges, offers both a shave ($35) and haircut ($30). And when Friday afternoon arrives, there's a complimentary beer with the service. "We don't try and be anything we're not. Just, like the hair, traditional, old-fashioned service," adds Connolly. "It's now clean, sharp and neat." source: http://www.executivestyle.com.au/barbershops-that-are-a-cut-above-119yav |
