If you’re booking a hot towel shave in downtown Stamford, the first choice is whether you want a clean shave, a beard cleanup, or a haircut and shave in one appointment. Here’s what to expect at Gentleman’s Grooming Lounge and how to pick the right service.
What happens during a hot towel shave?
A warm towel softens the whiskers before your barber applies warm lather and shaves with a straight razor. At Gentleman’s, the Cut & Shave pairs the shave with a tailored haircut and includes pre-shave oil and aftershave balm. The Royal Shave adds a second pass and a finishing face mask. Tell your barber beforehand if there’s a spot you prefer them to avoid or if you want a lighter touch.
Which appointment should you book?
Hot Lather Shave. Choose this for a traditional clean shave on its own.
Gentleman’s Cut & Shave. Choose this when you want a fresh haircut and clean shave in one appointment.
Royal Shave or Cut & Royal Shave. Choose the Royal service if you want the extra shave steps, with or without a haircut.
Beard & Moustache Trim. Choose a trim to keep your beard and clean up the shape. Tell your barber how much length you want to keep and how defined you want the cheek line and neckline.
Before your first visit
You can leave your usual shave for the barber. If you’re keeping facial hair, bring a photo of the shape you want or show the barber where you’d like the neckline to sit. Check SQUIRE for current pricing, timing, and barber availability before booking.
