hey boys...

So, it's been a while and here we are again.  Movember was, and is, always going to get men to give having facial hair a try.  The look of a hairy face is quite a trend and now that we're in 'Decembeard' you might notice more people sporting beards.  These days a good beard can go along way.  Mustaches are a little harder to pull off 11 months out of the year but a beard is quite simple.

You don't need to shave, just keep the hair you have in a specific area and keep the hair moisturized, combed and tidy.  Beards are great especially if you can get full coverage.  Here are some ideas.  For you guys who work in a corporate environment as long as you keep it tidy, it's all good!

P.S.  We carry the men's line Prospector Co.  This week all the products are on sale for 15% off.  What better time to try some beard oil!

Today I will be in a men's cutting class all day.  The experts will be trying to teach all of the stylists in attendance the new styles for men and the newest techniques.

I must say that I had a much larger male clientele when I used to work downtown.  Now that I'm located on Academy, I feel like I have little to no male clients.  The one's I do have are great, but I always wonder about all the others I lost...

Are men more likely to go to a stylist out of pure convenience?  Is it frowned upon for a man to follow his stylist? ~I guess a man can follow his stylist because I do have a few of my male clients from the first location I worked~ I know that a lot of my male clients in the past worked downtown, and came to see me on their lunches and break times.  Very convenient indeed...

I'm hoping this class leads me to a more knowledgeable place when it comes to cutting and styling men's hair.  Maybe the skills I'll acquire will also boost up my male clientele? Just so you know boys, it's okay to go to a hair salon over a barber and these days many salons are beginning to offer the same type of services as a barber.  Straight shaves and barbering techniques are coming to salons near you...if you're into that.

Peace

September is here and moving fast.  Have you changed out your wardrobe?  If you live in Winnipeg you are probably thinking about pulling out your heavier jackets and boots preparing for the impending and looming weather change. l like this season the most as do many people... Fashion is best now, stews and homemade breads are best now, the air is crisp and fresh now, the leaves fall like colored confetti now.

September is my all-time favorite time of the year.   Boys, here are some photos of ways to wear your scarves this fall.  A little inspiration for your Monday.

Scarves, like I've been saying, are one of the best accessories...even for the boys...

  Seeing that I touched on shoes the last time we hooked up, I'd like to continue on that same vein.

Blue shoes.

How many of you have 'em? Do you have any shoes of color at all?  Colored shoes/sneakers are a great way to change-up a so-so wardrobe.  Remember, stick to the style that you're most comfortable with and the style that suits you best.  Take a look at your current wardrobe and see what it says.  Let the shoes compliment what's on your bod...

Been noticing some of the newer hairstyles for men these days and I thought that I would share a few.  It's difficult to nail down a specific trend for the boys but I'll show you some photos of a few styles that the fellas are asking for nowadays. HEAVY PARTED
