Men’s Winter Grooming 2017 This Winter, if you͛re 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. Men͛s 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 Bun͛ 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 it͛s the stylist͛s 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.
