Item Description
Truman's Gentleman's Groomer's -
The Works - Shave & Haircut: Consultation, hairwash with scalp massage, haircut & finish, signature hot towel, straight-edge shave, Handshake Maintenance (Manicure), and shoe shine.
Walking into Truman’s Gentlemen’s Groomers at 120 East 56th Street in Manhattan, you’ll find clients waiting for their services at a wood-paneled bar and sipping a pint of beer, glass of wine or a Vodka on the rocks, while watching the News or World Cup soccer. The owners aren’t trying to get guys drunk so they’ll sit still for a manicure, but they do want to help them relax and to feel as if they are the most important person in the room.
“When you walk in, someone offers to take your coat and bag and then offers you a drink,” said Joe Marchesi, a co-owner. “It feels like walking into a four-star hotel. With the lounge and bar in front, it takes the pressure off. Most guys don’t want to sit in a waiting area.”
Truman's Gentlemen's Groomers offers acrylic dividers emblazoned with black-and-white surfing photographs between each station, blocking out the man in the neighboring chair — and allowing clients to relax without fear they'll be spotted wearing those ubiquitous white cloth spa slippers while their shoes are being shined downstairs.
Truman's Gentlemen's Groomers renamed its manicures and pedicures "handshake maintenance" and "foot repair" to recast the services in a masculine light.
Truman’s Gentleman’s Groomers was created by three mainstream professional men who grew tired of going to female-centric salons in search of a worthy haircut. They wanted classic services like shaves, shoe shines, and massage at a place where the client was the most important person in the room and the service was provided without an attitude.
Their collective vision bred an entirely novel grooming experience. The Truman's client can expect to be treated to exceptional service, complimentary beverages, and beyond all, quality care.
