Frequently Asked Questions
The Manhattan Special is our premium, signature service that combines a full precision haircut with a complete traditional hot towel shave (not just a beard trim). It's the most comprehensive grooming experience we offer, featuring luxury treatments, premium products, and extended time with your barber for meticulous attention to every detail.
The Manhattan Special is $85, saving you $5 compared to booking both services separately ($45 haircut + $45 hot towel shave = $90). Beyond cost savings, you receive a coordinated, premium experience with dedicated time and continuity with the same master barber.
Absolutely! The Manhattan Special is our most popular choice for weddings, first dates, job interviews, important client meetings, photo shoots, and any occasion where you want to look and feel your absolute best. Many clients book this service before major life events.
No! The hot towel shave removes all facial hair for baby-smooth skin, so it's perfect whether you're clean-shaven, have stubble, or a full beard you'd like completely removed. If you want to keep your beard, consider our Haircut & Beard Trim combo instead.
While some clients make this their regular service every 3-4 weeks, many reserve it for monthly luxury self-care, special occasions, or seasonal refreshes. We also offer it as a gift certificate—it's a popular gift for groomsmen, fathers, and professionals.
