I wish there was a hair salon where I could go alone.
Hair salons dedicated to men’s hair are now also available.
In Japan, as is the case with clothing stores, women have a wide range of choices when it comes to beauty, but men have a narrower range of choices, and women outnumber men everywhere they go.
Therefore, you are not the only man who feels somewhat embarrassed by the fact that beauty salons are all women.
But did you know that men’s-only hair salons are now available for men suffering from this problem?
These are designed so that “men can visit alone in a casual manner,” and there are no female customers. Therefore, men can visit alone without feeling awkward.
What kind of menu do you have? Is it still like a barber shop?
These places are positioned as “hair salons” and are basically different from barbershops. First of all, they usually do not offer shaving or other services.
Instead, they specialize in “cutting hair in a fashionable way,” and in some cases, they also cut eyebrows.
Also, are you thinking, “I can barely ask for a haircut at a men’s and women’s hair salon, but the rest of the menu is a little too hard”?
At men’s-only hair salons, you can choose from a variety of plans, including hair straightening. In addition to cutting, of course, shampooing and blow-drying are also available. Sounds like something a salesperson could use on a day to meet an important client or on a date!
What about the price? Not too expensive?
Hair removal, for example, is more expensive for men than for women. In some cases, it is as much as 3 to 5 times more expensive. As is the case with clothing, when men spend money on beauty, the market price is usually higher than that of women.
However, you don’t have to worry about this when it comes to hair salons.
Many men’s hair salons offer cuts starting at around 70 SGD, which is not that different from a regular hair salon. Hair straightening is almost the same as for women, and can be done easily.
Why not try a men’s hair salon to create a “smarter-than-usual” look for yourself?
