Helpful details

Should I book a consultation first?

A consultation is useful when the right hot towel shave plan depends on color history, hair condition, timing, or a bigger service change.

Can this be paired with another service?

Many appointments can be paired with related services when timing and service fit allow. Ask before booking if you want to combine visits.

Common Questions

Hot Towel Shave FAQs

What does a hot towel shave at The District Salon & Barber include?

A hot towel shave at The District Salon & Barber includes a hot towel application to open pores and soften the beard, a pre-shave oil or cream, a close razor shave along the grain, a second hot towel pass, and a finishing aftershave or balm application. The process is slower and more deliberate than a standard shave — it is designed for a close result and a calmer experience. This service is part of the full barber services menu at The District Salon & Barber.

Is a hot towel shave suitable for sensitive skin?

Hot towel shaves can work well for sensitive skin when the barber is aware of your skin type and uses the right product sequence. If your skin reacts to shaving products or you have active breakouts, ingrown hairs, or a skin condition in the shave area, mention it when booking or call (807) 577-5621 before your appointment so your barber can advise. See the beard trim service if you prefer a lower-contact grooming option.

How often should I book a hot towel shave?

As a standalone grooming service, most clients book a hot towel shave every 2–4 weeks — or as a supplement to their regular barber appointment when they want a cleaner finish than home shaving provides. It pairs naturally with a haircut or fade appointment. Book online or call (807) 577-5621 to add it to your next barber visit.
