Number Of Men Visiting Salons Is Growing

Think salon treatments are just for women? Studies show that’s no longer true.

A study by the market intelligence agency Mintel showed that almost half (47 percent) of young men in the United Kingdom had had a spa, in-store or beauty salon treatment in the past 12 months, up from 33 percent in 2015.

Modern Salon Media recently conducted a comprehensive study on men’s grooming, which found that a trip to a salon for a haircut includes a wash and blowdry for 83 percent of men.

Twenty two percent of professionals said a men’s cut at their salon includes shaving the neck with a straight razor.

And what kind of things are they having done? Readers Digest list several grooming treatments all men should be getting, including:

•Eyebrow waxing and tweezing — Men should ask their hair stylist to trim their eyebrows when they go for a haircut, and should consider eyebrow waxing if they have a unibrow.

• Professional lowlights — Lowlights are recommended if your hair color is beginning to fade. You can get lowlights to blend in gray.

• Spa facials — Professional facials once every month purify your pores and remove blackheads, flaking, and ingrown hairs.

• Mani/pedis — Pedicures eliminate dry, dead skin from the soles of feet, and manicures prevent hangnails.

• Body hair grooming — Men with a hairy back, chest, arms, or torso may want to consider professional waxing.

• Collagen treatments — Collagen hair treatments treat thinning hair.

• Facial hair grooming — Facial hair grooming can be done in a salon or at home. Don’t forget to get a nose and ear-hair trimmer.
