Facial

20 Times 20 Times

Hey lads , getting married this year and want to get myself ready for the big day. Any recommendations on where to get a couple of facials done preferably city center where I won’t feel immediately out of place when I walk in the door

Try the Grooming Rooms on South William Street. Male only salon so you’ll be fine. They offer all sorts of treatments and packages.

Best of luck with the wedding.

Where have all the real men gone?

Ah lads leave out the real man stuff etc.

For some people it's their thing for others it's not. If we roll back the years men wouldn't have spent time on clothes or hair or whatever. Each to their own.

Me personally been for one before not a massive fan. A back massage to take out the knots and crooks in my back is preferable.

Also be careful your skin doesn't react to stuff etc

The real men are getting on with life and not worrying about anti-man sentiment like the comment above. If a man wants a facial, he is free to get a facial and not care about what others think. 

OP, try ringing around a few places and see what they say. If they dont do it they will probably know where does it. Women's places might be more experienced at that kind of treatment but men's places might know more about treating men. There must be a fancy barbers around that does men's treatments. They would be a good place to try first.

Are you bored or what? Ffs, I'm sure you rubbed your face in some motor oil on your big day just to show how manly you are.

The 19C, cutting down forests to build their houses, killing bears and hunting, shooting and fishing and farming.

I know a wimp who won’t use a proper throat cut razor. Then he adds some class of cream to his face to “soften his beard”. Beard? Child’s stubble. I’ve also seen him add perfume on his face afterwards. He feels manly because that lotion stings.


Needless to say I won’t be inviting him bear fighting any time soon.

When I first saw the thread title I'll admit I thought.... Dirty mind that I have.

Joke is that in the old days going right back to the egg, in many societies it was the men who were the ones just as much and often more into their personal grooming routines. The "rugged caveman" notion is mostly a 20th century concept. The bigger joke being that actual "cavemen" are more likely to be the ones piling on the makeup and skin conditioning. Among surviving hunter gatherer folks today, it's nearly always the men going mad for the makeup, skincare, tattoos, body mods and ornate hairdos. And these are "men's men" minus the macho posturing(mostly). Interestingly they're also quick to show emotion. Stiff upper lips in the face of emotional insult and tragedy would be considered alien to most such cultures.

I go to Stephen Thomas for waxing but never had a facial. He’s hard to get though.

Have a look in the future wifes/sister/mother's make up bag for anything with Let Mer on it, don't let her find our your using as it costs a fortune but it's great for your skin.
I'd be careful of a facial they don't always go to plan, if your skin's not bad just go borrow the Le Mer.
