Men’s Winter Grooming 2017

Men’s Winter Grooming 2017
This Winter, if youre a gentleman looking for the best haircut in Philadelphia, look no further. Architeqt
Salon has been preparing all fall for you to visit and see what separates us from other hair salons in
Philadelphia. With a jam-packed education curriculum starting after Labor-Day, the staffs have been
sharpening their skills with education from JRL, Johnny B., and more. These classes help the staff stay on
top of upcoming trends as well as learning new techniques that will allow for smoother fades, sharper
edges, and cuts that is easier for our clients to style.
Mens grooming, while it may seem unchanging, is constantly evolving. Styles are constantly
going through cycles where they are popular for a few months then they are all of a sudden deemed
unpopular due to circumstances that are out of the stylists control. No one wants a haircut that
resembles the most recent public figure who committed a social taboo.
This is the reason that the stylists at this particular Philadelphia salon stay on top of the trends.
The best way that we have found to stay ahead of the curve is through education. These classes that the
stylists attend offer a great forum for our staff to interact with other stylists from all over the world to

discuss what they are seeing walk through the door and how to address styles that need to be modified
and how to efficiently modify them.
A good example of how trends change and how to modify them would be when a large portion
of men were growing the top of their hair long enough to wrap up into a (usually pathetic looking) bun
on top of their heads and using a close clipper guard around their entire perimeter. Once everyone had
hair long enough to put into a bun, the trend was over and there were loads of men who had this nowseemingly
ridiculous hair style that needed a serious adjustment.
Hair classes allow the stylists to discuss what the options could be to change the look in what is
already a very severe hair style. More classic looks were revisited while transitioning men from the
dreaded Man Bun to their future handsome, classic, selves.
Part of our stylists jobs outside of the physical and mental dedication to their craft is to know
what will suit their clients styling needs. This is another reason education is paramount. There is always
a new product on the shelf and its the stylists job to know what to use and why. This takes the guessing
out for our clients and will allow for them to have an easier time styling their hair. After all, this
Philadelphia hair salon wants you to look your best no matter the circumstances.
