Recently in a local ad online, there was a coupon for a “hot towel” shave. This is apparently something that has not been that popular in recent years, due to the popularity of the five o’clock shadow. But Perhaps because of the metro sexual lifestyle that is so prevalent in today’s world – it is making a comeback. You might even see the guys or “Guido’s” from “Jersey Shore” practicing this for their big night out of fist pumping action.
Whatever the reason for this to be coming back, men should be cheering. Women these days get all the pampering; from pedicures, to massages, to facials. Men don’t seem to have any real outlet other than their once a month hair cut or shoe shine. It seems men have been left in the dark about the wonders of what a good day in the spa can bring.
In the old days a man would go take a seat in one of the barber chairs that lined the room, then sit back and fall asleep while his barber wrapped a hot towel around his face in preparation for a close shave to come. It appears that nothing more was needed for a man back then to relax.
But Little by little things have changed. Back then a man walking into a fancy establishment would not know what to do with some of the crazy fancy salon furniture that might look like something out of “The Jetsons”. Some of the hipsters of today might want that same crazy salon furniture to decorate their condo.
Now it is nice to see things go back to the way they were, even if it is just a shave. Women need their space to gossip and feel comfortable to have their eye brows plucked without a man looking on in bafflement. In the same regards, men have the right to take a seat along the row of barber chairs and to listen to nothing but the sound of the radio playing some Miles Davis to relax them.
So even though some men still might wander into a fancy salon in need of a quick hair cut, it is good to know that he still has the barber shop where he can hang with the boys and talk like men without any interference of a lady. Women – wouldn’t you prefer your man going to an establishment like this instead of one of the more expensive ones? Maybe he will take those extra bucks he saved and take you out to a nice dinner to show off his new close shave and your fresh highlighted hair.
