From the time you walk in to the time you leave, you are made to feel like a God. You're treated to an ice-cold beer, cider, or soft drink while you get your hair trimmed. There's wifi for all those waiting to get whatever treatment they've booked. The aesthetic is highly masculine with a touch of class. Emile
did all of the interior himself. From the bookcase, to the chairs, to the lighting, right down to the very last detail, like the vases and glasses and art on the walls.
The Space Emile has created is regal and vintage. There are many classy elements that take you back to that 1960s
barber shop we have all come to love through popular media.
The space therefore lends itself to hosting events: many events for young gentlemen have been held here. He has a splendid foyer that can be used as a runway for a fashion show or a pop-up shop for any gentlemen's boutique.
The shop is perfectly situated in the up and coming area of the CBD. He is surrounded by many corporate institutions and in fact, the grooming parlour is a little bit of a vintage jewel in the concrete business centre of Johannesburg.
Emile has really cornered a unique and growing target market. Many men are now realising that taking care of themselves is a good thing and that women love a well groomed man. Men are fussier about how their hair is cut and about the cleanliness of their nails. Gone are the days of Sipho and Kobus who only do DIY and watch TV all day.
The Gentleman Grooming Parlour boasts fantastic prices and out of this world treatments for men:
As a gift, Emile is offering New Year's specials to the Fundbabies Readers.
