Usually when you come across articles for pampering yourself or where to get a relaxing spa treatment, it's geared towards the ladies. Well, gentlemen, this article is for you! From a great shave, to the best barber, 7x7 has outlined some of the best places to go to treat yourself!
Fellow Barber's hangover treatment (Mission)
One too many negronis last night? No problem. Fellow Barber’s bargain Hangover Treatment helps to cover up evidence of too much elbow-bending. After hot and cold towel wraps, a facial scrub, and a eucalyptus mask, we’re practically good as new.
Groom's sun damage relief facial (Union Square)
For serious sun damage relief, we put ourselves in the hands of Caesar Jimenez, whose super antioxidant corrective facial helps prevent pigmentation on and below the surface of the skin. The treatment cleans and brightens the face, and also includes a moisturizing treatment for hands and arms. A must for fearless gingers who spend too much time in the sun.
J.P. Kempt's straight razor shave (Lower Haight)
Ditch your Mach3 and head to J.P. Kempt, where one soothing swipe of a sharp blade will make you appreciate the luxury of a straight-razor shave. Stylish white-smocked barbers will deftly transform your rugged mug into baby-bottom smoothness. We especially dig the soulful retro setting, which hums with good music and playful banter.
Manscaping SF's hair removal (FiDi)
Expert aesthetician Gilbert Colorina ain’t afraid of no beastly sasquatch. In his small studio on Market Street, Gil will shave or wax the wild tendrils on your chest, legs, and back. (By the way, your proverbial manhood is not verboten.) Need a drink? There’s an array of spirits on hand to help calm the nerves.
Peoples Barber Shop's haircut (TenderNob)
Bright and stylish, Peoples Barber Shop is abuzz with regulars who return for the $38 haircut and major perks—a high-lather shave, hot towel treatment with facial massage, and your choice of coffee, beer, or bourbon. This spring, the men of Downtown Oakland will be better groomed than ever with the opening of People’s second shop.
Roosters Men’s Grooming Center's "Gentlemen’s Choice" haircut + facial (San Rafael)
Who says women have all the fun? At Roosters, men are pampered in a traditional barbershop setting. For a total transformation, the Gentleman’s Choice includes the standard haircut and hot-towel treatment, plus a not-so-routine seven-step facial shave. The barber’s unsolicited advice on your golf game? Complimentary.
Waxing 4 Men's nose + ear waxing (Union Square)
With age comes wisdom—that, and hair (a lot of hair) in unfortunate places. We take care of these unsightly nose and ear stragglers at this men’s-only salon, a safe space for taming the jungle on your face (and beyond).
Etta + Billie's Vendetta IPA Soap
Ditch that pungent Irish Spring and pick up a sweet-smelling bar of Etta + Billie Vendetta IPA Soap ($10), which contains exfoliating grains from the IPA brewing process and essential oils to keep your skin moisturized.
