There are certain things that every man must start taking seriously. If nothing else, it should of course be his grooming. As a reformed greaser, for me of course it is my sweet-arse pompadore, man!
I have been at a loss for over a year for a barber that not only understands how important my hair is to me. Yet, they must also have the talent to realize my necessity. Art of Shaving has taken me in and cradled my lustrous head of black (& now sparsely grey?!) hair back to it's former glory.
Bridget is definitely a master barber. She has the hands of a scissor Da Vinci. She took the faults of my prior barbers disaster and sheared & crafted my pomp exactly how world famous Donny Hawlywood in Costa Mesa used to. I like my fade high and tight with the top extremely tapered down from 4" up front to .5" down to the back. She made it so. She is the bee's knees!
The shop itself is set up for the distinguished gent'. Think mansion library with top tier grooming products in place of books. I can see that many shotgun wedding grooms must be well taken care of in this casino mall strip shop. The staff is very welcoming here and not pretentious like the other The Art of Shaving locations.
I have received The Art of Shaving products for my beard & groom since I've become a daddy. They are all classic and classy from the luxurious straight razors to the genuine badger shaving cream brushes. The creams, lotions and oils are made with natural traditional scents like patchouli and lavender. I'm a Bay Rum kinda guy myself.
You will spend a pretty penny for all this luxury. Not that you aren't worth it, though. I was able to get a peep at a Royal Shave during my cut. Wow! That looks like the next level for me. I couldn't be happier with this experience! My head has found it's home.
