The Art of Shaving Barber Spa, New York, USA

There is no better way to reward the gentlemen in your life than with a luxurious, engaging sensory experience at The Art of Shaving Barber Spa in New York. The Art of Shaving Barber Spa’s most popular service, the Royal Shave®, which begins with a hot towel that is gently wrapped on the face. Immediately after the face is massaged with a pre-shave oil to protect the skin and soften the beard.
Next, warm shaving cream is applied and the face is shaved twice, once with the grain, and then re-lathered and shaved across the grain for the perfect shave.
The face is then wrapped in another hot towel while the barber prepares with fresh ingredients the after-shave mask seconds before it is applied to the face. The after-shave mask rejuvenates and purifies the skin, and replenishes nutrients lost during the shaving process. Once the mask has dried, it is removed with natural sea sponges soaked in lemon essential oil.
Finally, hydrosol rose water is applied and the face is massaged lightly with after-shave balm to replenish natural moisture.

The Art of Shaving Barber Spa is a unique concept that combines traditional barber services with aromatherapy skin treatments, all of which are performed by our expertly trained Master Barbers in the luxurious surroundings of their spas. Giving it the unmistaken feel of a true gentleman’s club.
