At least 3-4 times per week we’re asked if Grooming Lounge provides services for the fairer sex. It’s usually a question from a woman whose husband or sig other has been to one of our stores and enjoys the experience. “So… can I come in and get a haircut or manicure” is often how it’s posed. The response is usually “of course, but you’ll get a haircut or such tailored for a man as that’s all we train on and focus on here.” A little chuckle ensues as the no-doubt lovely lady pictures herself with a tightly cropped ‘do and then surrenders to the fact that her man will get treated like a king when here — while she’ll be forced to join the huddled masses at a cookie-cutter national women’s spa.
Please don’t mistake what we’re saying — our business wouldn’t be a business without women. They are the best and several of the smartest ones around help us run this joint. But with that said, this is a sanctuary for guys who want to be amongst guys while getting groomed. Prior to his wedding and pre Grooming Lounge, one of us Grooming Guys was told his mitts required a manicure before the big day and was forced to sit among more than a dozen women at a nail spa to do so. Anxiety sunk in and it was a horrible experience — thus one of the reasons for starting our company.
Anyway, all this rambling is just trying to say that at the end of the day… we really DO provide a service for women. WE TAKE CARE OF THIER MEN – WE HAVE DESTINATIONS WHERE THOSE GUYS WILL GET STUFF DONE THEY WON’T GET DONE IN OTHER LOCATIONS.
- Gal wants her guy to have less nasty feet? He’ll come here for a Foot Treatment, but probably wouldn’t even try it somewhere else.
- Lass wants her lad to have a less hairy back? You think he’s hitting Susie’s Super Spa to do it? We didn’t think so.
- Femme want her man to get a real haircut? He ain’t doing it next to the 8 ladies with foil in their hair talking shop.
So… it seems we serve both sexes equally. Just in different ways.
Guys… so true! And we love you for it! Thanks for your service to the PUBLIC!
