Grooming Lounge Blog

Last posting we posed a bunch of questions that had us perplexed.  Since then, with the help of some loyal readers and Grooming Lounge guests, we’ve discovered the magic answers.  See such answers below in italics and red.

1. Should wearing a mock-turtleneck shirt be a felony or misdemeanor? Felony.

2. Why do  the same people always drop their cigarette butts outside our DC store, even though we’ve requested they cease? Because they are very selfish and don’t even start to think about the ramifications of such littering. Their mommies probably always cleaned up thier room for them and thus they are continuing thier childhoods present day, with the Grooming Lounge staff playing the role of the cleaning mommy. How about that theory?

3. What are the two guys who pace back and forth outside our Atlanta store on their Blue tooth headsets always talking about?  And why do they always walk together? They are actually talking to one another, not on their headsets, and more often than not they are reviewing what they will be eating for lunch.  Occasionally, they make their American Idol castoff picks during these strolls.

4. Why do products that say fragrance-free always have smells to them?  We actually know this answer, but are wondering if you do. Fragrance-free just means that no additional, stand-alone fragrance has been added to the products, outside of the natural fragrance many of the ingredients already boast.

5. How did we possibly run out of our “The Best Shampoo” already? More is being made and should be in by month’s end, but that’s a blatant sales pitch and not an answer to question. The answer can be summed up in two words — Sophia Lan.  No, that’s a joke.  Instead, we actually thought we could get some of the ingredients in faster to make our newest batch, but things being as they are, it took longer than expected.  In any case, The Best Shampoo is set to touch down in early April.

6. Why would a shaver be insistent on having a shaving cream with a puffy lather — when most of that lather doesn’t even come near the skin? Because they don’t know any better and havefalsely been lulled into thinking that big lather = great shave.

7. Is it the right thing to tell a co-worker that he/she has food in their teeth, B.O., their fly is down, etc? Yes, if it’s anyone who is not your boss.  If it’s your boss, just say “(INSERT CO-WORKER’S NAME) says he thinks you have food in your teeth”.

8. What does the word or phrase ”pipi coco” mean?  One of our college professors said this to a colleague years ago and we still have no clue what language it’s from or what it means. Doesn’t stop us from saying it a lot though. Still no solid feedback on this one.

9. Why do people purchase, in the same order, three separate moisturizers – one for oily, one for dry and one for combo skin? Sure it’s good for business, but we want to provide solid results. As one of our readers so succintly put it… “why do you care Grooming Lounge… you make more money this way.  Stop asking stupid questions and stick to selling products.” We’ll leave that alone we guess.

10. Who can make the sunrise?  Sprinkle it in dew? It’s all about the Candyman.  The Grooming Guys can do that also.
