Why Choose Our Hot Towel Shave
This is more than just a shave — it’s a throwback to traditional barbershop comfort. We start with a steam-infused towel to soften your skin, followed by a straight razor shave with rich, warm lather. We finish with a cool towel and soothing aftershave to leave your face smooth, calm, and refreshed. Clients choose us for our attention to detail, hygiene, and timeless technique.


What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your shave begins with a warm towel wrap to open pores and relax facial hair. Then, your barber applies a professional-grade lather and uses a straight razor for a close, smooth shave — always with care and precision. We wrap up with a cool towel and a hydrating balm to minimize any irritation. It’s 30 minutes of comfort and craftsmanship you can count on.
