Best Spa Treatments for Men in London

Think of spa treatments and you probably think of women walking around in dressing gowns, whispering in hush tones whilst getting facials and manicures.

Well, no longer.  Men too are waking up to the benefits of a bit of pampering, relaxation and general male maintenance. Good spas have been offering their male customers spa treatments for men, specially tailored to their own hair and skin needs for ages.  But barber shops have been doing just that for centuries!

After all, our customers are solely men. Every day we look at and treat the skin and hair of men, so we know exactly how to get them looking their best and the most effective products to do the job.

And now we’ve been recognised for offering one of the best spa treatments for men in London. In Men’s Fitness, Pall Mall Barbers are top of the list for a traditional wet shave and haircut.  Our luxury wet shave features the traditional open blade of a cutthroat razor, after hot towels open the pores on your face and get the bristles standing up to enable a really close shave.  As one of the oldest and most respected barbers in London, you’ll be in safe hands at Pall Mall Barbers… and that’s a promise.

Offering one of the best spa treatments for men in London, means that we use the best products too.  We’ve developed the 3 stage shaving system to apply our vast knowledge of men’s skin and the shaving process. It involves a pre-shave scrub, a luxury shaving cream and a soothing post-shave balm. All the Pall Mall Barbers shaving products contain prickly pair seed oil to moisturise the skin and smell of the masculine scents to sandalwood and clove.

After the best shave of your life, you’ll be treated to a deep scalp massage, haircut and finish by some of the best barbers in London.

So, go on treat yourself to one of the best spa treatments for men in London. Book online or call any of our four central London barber shops.

Barber Shop in Westminster

Did you know that we’ve opened a new barber shop in Westminster?

Fitted out to the usual high standards of Pall Mall Barbers, the new salon in Central London has all the traditional barber shop features whilst still offering all the modern men’s hairdressing and shaving services you’d expect.  You can also get the full range of Pall Mall Barbers eponymous hair styling and shaving products, featuring the masculine scents of sandalwood and clove.

The new barber shop in Westminster has been featured in Professional Hairdressers latest news and we’re really proud of the new addition to the Pall Mall Barbers family.  If you live or work in the area, you can now get a first rate haircut or luxury wet shave without having to travel far.  And we’re easy to find – right next to the Palmer Street exit of St James’ Park tube station.

With the new barber shop in Westminster being the 3rd salon – our other barber shops are at Trafalgar Square and in Fitzrovia, Pall Mall Barbers is growing due to the increased demand for quality men’s hairdressing services in the capital.  No doubt, you’ll be seeing more of our barber shops opening around the city in the near future too.

Beard Shaping

Have you tried beard shaping yourself but it’s not quite looking how you want it to?

Beard shaping can be quite tricky, but fortunately here in London we’ve got some of the best barbers in the business. And at our Pall Mall Barbers salon in Trafalgar Square, the Manager Erin is right up there with the very best.

With her knowledge of beards, facial hair and men’s shaving she can give the best advice and tips on beard shaping in London.

Maybe you’ve started to grow your beard, it’s got past the stubble stage but it’s now beginning to look a bit scruffy or unkempt. So what’s the best advice for beard shaping in this instance? Well, we’d recommend watching this beard shaping video on the Pall Mall Barbers Youtube channel. It features Erin advising on how to get sharp lines, how to make your beard look thicker and fuller and how to get it more even all over when it may be growing at different rates.

But what about beard shaping when you’re lucky enough to have quite a full, bushy face of hair? A boxed beard is quite a strong look, that still maintains a smart and professional air. In the next video, Erin talks through and demonstrates how to shape a boxed beard.

The great thing about a beard is that like your hair, you can change the look and shape of it. Grow it a bit longer and you’ll have different options on beard shaping that you can try.  So, what do you fancy? Maybe a Van Dyke?  This is a more pointy beard that needs cutting into shape.  It’s the style of beard Leonardo di Caprio was rocking in Django Unchained. Again, our beard supremo Erin, can talk you through how to get this look with this beard shaping video.

Still don’t feel like you’re ready to master the art of beard shaping yourself? Then book an appointment at any of our London barber shops and get a professional to do it for you.  They’ll look at the shape of your face, the direction of hair growth and can discuss with you the best style of beard for you.  Once styled right, it’ll be far easier for you to manage yourself.

You can book a beard shaping appointment online or order any of the Pall Mall Barbers Sandalwood and Clove beard grooming products.

How to find a good barber in London

Are you looking for a good barber in London? Where do you start? We know there are loads of barber shops in London, but how do you know which ones a good barber shop and which one you should really avoid?

Without being biased (much..)  because we know we’re great!  Here’s our advice on choosing a good barber in London:

Ask around:
Ask someone who’s opinion (and hair) you think is good. Maybe someone you work with, or the guy who serves your morning coffee on the way into work who always seems to have great hair. You may feel a bit embarrassed if it’s a stranger, but to him it’ll be a huge compliment.  Just say you’re looking for a good barber and need a recommendation. Easy!  Twitter is a great source for recommendations, so why not pose a question out to your followers?

Look Online:
Once you’ve got the name of a barber shop in London – maybe from a recommendation, walking past it every day or you’ve picked up a leaflet or promotional voucher somewhere, see what people are saying on line.   Google the barber shop name and if they’ve got lots of happy customers, you’ll see recommendations from all sources – google, twitter, bloggers, social media. You may get the odd one from someone who doesn’t seem as delighted as others, but that’s natural… and human nature to moan, but if the vast majority are saying good things, then they’ve certainly got a good reputation.

Ask for a Barber by Name:
If it’s your first visit to a new barber, then phone up and explain what you want, and ask who the best person would be to do that for you. Whilst all barbers should be skilled and experienced, some specialist in certain areas or styles to it’s worth asking.

So if you’ve done all that and tried somewhere other than Pall Mall Barbers (no, really?)  and you’re not happy, then you know know where to come next time!

Pall Mall Barbers of course, in our opinion (and our customers’) the best barber shops in London.
