The promise
Vintage Men’s SPA opened its doors in Al Wahda Mall in January 2013 to cater for the modern gent who is more aware than ever about his looks and personal grooming needs.
Vintage aims to provide a balance between grooming and health, relaxation and therapy to meet the ever-demanding lifestyle and needs of the new-age alpha male. That’ll be us.
Step by step
In fear of looking like Shaggy from Scooby Doo, we’re in need of the “Vintage Signature Hair Cut and Shave” package. This service begins with a shampoo and condition from our barber, Lance. Our hair is towel dried, and after a brief consultation about the desired look (grade two on the back and sides, and scissors on top), Lance gets to work, demonstrating varied techniques using scissors and combs, and a shaver. He certainly knows his stuff.
The result
As Lance shows us the result of his work using the mirrors, we are impressed with the quality of our fresh new style. Our hair has been perfectly blended in from the sides to top of the head and we have a cool fade at the back – no lines!
Pros
Everyone commenting on our fresh new look.
Cons
Sometimes we felt the service was a bit rushed.
Dhs80. Open Sun-Thu 10am-10pm; Fri-Sat 10am-11pm. Vintage Men’s SPA, Al Wahda Mall, 2nd Floor Extension (02 445 2127).
