“Just because you’re getting a facial doesn’t mean you have to be surrounded by girls. At these new grooming clubs, the atmosphere and aesthetic are part old-world barbershop, part cigar bar. A massage is a lot more relaxing when you’re handed a beer as soon as you walk in the door and you don’t have to wait next to a bachelorette party.” – Details

“Truman’s Gentlemen’s Groomers is . . . featuring “handshake maintenance’’ (i.e., a manicure), scalp massage, shave, and haircut. Truman’s also put up screens, on the assumption that men prefer not being seen by other men while undergoing “foot repair.”” – NewYork

“The worst thing about a haircut is describing exactly what you want to the stylist. Between your mouth and your stylist’s ears is way too much room for disaster. Truman’s Gentleman’s Groomers has a simple solution to potentially catastrophic miscommunications. At your request the stylist will take a digital photo of your cut at the end of the session for reference on your next visit. A stroke of genius, we’d say.” – Playboy

“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” – The New York Times
