A Return to Elegance for The Modern Age: How Barber Culture Came Back in a Big Way

BRISBANE, Australia - May 14, 2015 - PRLog -- When you picture a barber shop, chances are you think of a dingy, poorly lit hole-in-the-wall where you select your hairstyle off of a poster of cuts that went out of style twenty years ago.

But contemporary barber culture is looking to update the services and the experiences offered to clients who flock towards the red, white, and blue poles. At places like Australia's own GENTS Barber Shop, clients get a whole lot more than a hastily-done shave and an uneven straight-back-and-sides trim.

While the skill of GENTS' barbers honors the skills and techniques that were originally required to enter the trade, they've included new possibilities that push barber culture forward into the modern day. At GENTS, a classic straight razor neck shave (which requires expert precision and as a result is rarely offered at most salons) with every haircut. Also offered in an entire straight razor face shave, which will leave skin not simply exfoliated and cleansed, but also irresistibly smooth.

GENTS also offers a hot towel treatment that's been updated to include elements of Thai massage and aromatherapy. Usually overlooked but oh so essential, hot towels wraps open pores, relax facial muscles, and feel simply amazing.

And if you're accustomed to dated music blaring from crackling speakers, GENTS will be a welcome change for you. The atmosphere is as impeccable as the clientele and barbers themselves. Excellent lighting and music are standard at GENTS, as is a glass of something much stronger and better than tap water.

If you're looking to make a long-term commitment to GENTS Barber Shop, be sure to inquire about the benefits of joining the VIP program, which offers price breaks and extra-special treatment for top clients.

In terms of styling, the haircuts offered by GENTS are versatile and up-to-date while still giving off the classic vibe of a gentleman. And if you're looking to replicate your GENTS experience at home (and we're sure you will be), you can select from an array of refined products for sale in the shop from companies that have set the standard of excellence in the industry. Beard oil or balm, mustache wax, grooming and shaving creams, and head-to-toe treatments are all available for purchase.

Rest assured, your experience at GENTS barber will be anything but ordinary. Harkening back to another era while keeping one foot firmly planted in the culture and needs of today's world, contemporary barber culture revitalizes and sets the standard for the entire hair industry.
