5 Male Grooming Tips for You, Dad, BF, and More!

Communities, Microblading

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at December 30th, 2020

Let’s face it; we all have a relative, partner, neighbor, or coworker that could use some grooming tips! Alright, well, maybe don’t tell your neighbor he has bushy eyebrows, but we can at least help our friends and family out with some helpful male grooming tips, such as male eyebrow threading! In this blog, we’re going to provide you with some tips and suggestions you can share with some of the men in your life that could use it. But don’t worry, all of our recommendations are approachable and will leave everyone happier they decided to take up some new grooming routines!

1) Male Eyebrow Threading

It doesn’t matter if you’re 17 or 71; bushy, wild, and untamed eyebrows are never a good look! Understandably, most men would forget to care for their eyebrows. Grooming the eyebrows took a back seat to almost every other grooming lesson a man could learn. A father will teach his son how to shave, not how to groom their eyebrows. Luckily, male eyebrow threading is a service that more men of all ages are coming to understand and appreciate. We’ve got many male clients that come in routinely for eyebrow threading appointments, and we’re happy to see this encouraging trend. The eyebrow threading process is when an artist removes hairs row by row with salon-grade thread to create a clean and styled shape to the eyebrows. Men with pronounced eyebrows benefit from this greatly.

2) Men’s Microblading

For men that are suffering from thinning eyebrows or damage to their hair follicles, microblading is an excellent solution. The process of microblading leaves clients with eyebrows that are natural, vibrant, and defined. Artists will use small needles to apply vegan-friendly pigment to the superficial layers of the skin. These pigments will be tone-matched to align with your natural hair color correctly. The results are outstanding, and men who do not wish to manage their thinning/uneven eyebrows daily will benefit significantly from microblading treatment. Best of all, the results last between six months and two years - this is perfect for men with little patience for self-grooming on the reg.

3) Men’s Eyebrow Tinting

It’s true, some men will be tougher to convince than others to try any new male grooming tips, but as they say, “the proof is in the pudding,” and if you can convince your man to try eyebrow tinting once, they may never go back. Men with very fine or light blonde hair can have an issue with creating contour and facial definition simply because their eyebrows are so light they blend in with the rest of their face. Male eyebrow tinting is a beneficial and quick service for men with light coloration in their eyebrows. An artist will match the client’s natural eyebrow color, and depending on the coloring goals; they will apply salon-grade dye to the brow to create more vibrant and defined eyebrows.

4) Simple Skin Care & Facials For Men

Men understand they need and want clear skin, but they don’t often know how to attain it or put much effort into skincare. One of the most common skin issues for men is dry/irritated skin. Dry skin is especially prevalent in the winter, so these tips are even more impactful during the year’s colder months. If your man has dry skin, a simple routine change can make all the difference - tell them to stop taking hot showers! Hot showers dry out and damage the skin and aggravate even more severe skin conditions like eczema. Dermatologists recommend taking lukewarm baths or showers during the colder months to not aggregate and dry out the skin. His skin will look much better and feel much better too. Also, try gifting them some healing body care skin lotion after the shower. They make plenty of creams marketed towards men that promote skincare and smell great. One of the best gifts you can provide is a facial. Facial services for men help reduce the endless need for at-home skincare treatments. A professional facial will remove dead skin, reduce the look of scarring, increase skin moisture, and reduce hyper pigmentation, all in one go!

5) Beard & Facial Hair Care

Lots of men have beards these days, young and old alike. It doesn’t matter if they’re a 25-year-old barista or a 65-year-old philosophy professor; men of all walks of life enjoy the styling and presence of a beard. Many men do not know how to trim properly, groom, and care for their facial hair. Many men suffer from itchy beards, and you can suggest using some grooming products to help alleviate the daily itchiness that can accompany a beard. Firstly, tell them to condition their beard in the shower. When they wash their hair, ask them to add conditioner to their beard as well. The conditioner will soften the beard hairs and infuse them with moisture. Moisturized beard hair is much less itchy than dry beard hair. If you want to get them a beard-centric gift, you can introduce them to beard oils! These oils help beards maintain shape, stay moisturized, and smell great!
