What is your Face Shape?

Friday, 19 November 2021 by Daniel Camilleri

What is your face shape? The importance of choosing the style that matches your face!

Understanding your head and face shape is a vital consultation in order to choose your suitable hairstyle.

What do we do? We identify each client’s individual features to enable you to enhance their good features (Cheekbones, eyes, etc) and disguise not so good features (large nose, big forehead, etc). Not forgetting eyewear, hearing aids, etc.

  • Oval

The oval face is visually symmetrical and will suit all hairstyles and facial hair.

  • Round

The round face has a full and round jawline and usually around hairline, this face shape suits styles with shorter side to give the impression of a thinner face, height on top lengthen the face and off-centre partings. They would also suit a neat moustache or a neat, tidy beard to slim and make the face appear longer.

  • Diamond

The diamond face has a rounded hairline, wider cheekbones and narrow chin. This face would suit full fringes to square off the forehead. They would also suit a full beard which would square off the face and disguise a prominent chin.

  • Pear

The pear face has a narrow forehead and hairline with a broad jawline. This face shape suits full, rounded hairstyles with the length the same all over, which are designed to balance the face. They would also suit a fuller beard trimmed to square off and slim the face.

  • Square

The square face has a squared and broad jawline. The forehead, cheekbones and jawline are the same widths. The face shape suits styles that are softer on the edges and similar to round face shape, keep the sides shorter and the top higher to lengthen the face. NO flat tops! They would also suit facial hairstyles that may help their face appear less box-like – all over beards with hard lines, moustaches, goatees and neatly trimmed stubble.

  • Oblong

The oblong face has narrow and straight sides with a slightly rounded chin. This face shape suits layered styles and wispy fringes. Stay away from styles that define the hairline and NO long sideburns. They would also suit a neatly shaped moustache designed to shorten the face and a neatly trimmed beard which would make the face appear shorter and squarer.

  • Heart

The heart-shaped face is widest across the cheekbones and the eyes, with a broad forehead. The shape narrows at the jawline and comes to a pointed chin. Most styles will look good on the heart-shaped face, though fullness on the sides of the head should be avoided, as that is the broadest point of the face. They would also suit a full beard which would disguise a pointed chin.

  • Triangular

The triangular face has a wide hairline, broad jawline and narrow chin. This face shape suits styles that are short on top to keep the top of the head from being the focal point. Buzz cuts and cropped styles work well. The hair cuts should avoid sharp lines that define the hairline. They would also suit full beards designed to disguise the pointed chin.

Why choose an Old School Barber!

Friday, 19 November 2021 by Daniel Camilleri

The benefits of going to an OLD School Barber: Grooming tips for real gentlemen!

Finding a good barbershop should be amongst the first items on your to-do list! There is no greater experience than having a professional guy lather your face and shave your beard, then oil you up with fancy oils and pomades, this is not the only thing that a good barber will do for you but he will also exfoliate your skin thus making it feel fresh and looking healthy AF. Trust us on this one, you’ll feel both pampered and empowered, all while becoming your most dapper self. After one barbershop experience, you’ll be eager to have your hair and beard grow back fast so you can make another appointment in men heaven also called men cave.

One of the main reasons the barbershop is like a safe haven for guys is the feeling of belonging that it gives you. Go to the same corner barbershop for more than five times and you’re already on first-name terms with most of the guys there, including the barber himself. There’s no greater sense of community than the one established in a place where you’re at your most vulnerable. 😊

A shorty history injection of barbershops

The history of the barber and barbershop is an interesting story, dating back to 3500BC, barbering is thought to be one of the oldest trades known to man. The word ‘Barber’ comes from the Latin word ‘Barba’, meaning beard.

Originally, barbers were known as barber-surgeons because, as well as cutting hair and shaving, barber-surgeons would also perform minor surgical procedures ranging from extracting teeth to amputating limbs.

Mortality during surgery at this time was quite high due to loss of blood and infections. Doctors in the middle ages believed that taking blood would help cure the patient of sickness so the barber would apply leeches to the patient.

From the 1880s till the 1950’s hair wax and pocket-comb carrying was a thing, barbershops were very popular, during these years the social hub was the barbershop was man were pampered and still be as manly as it can be. Business and friendly relationships all started there, at the corner barbershop. Men would go in these places not just to get groomed, but to socialize hours on end. Classy Tabaco, musk, apple and cherry-filled the air in these hand-crafted marble top, back then these barbershops offering handmade hair tonic and hair products. The decline of these absolute gems was due to Gillette razor blade back in 1904. Therefore, like today going to the barber became a special treat, rather than an everyday occurrence.

A shot from the past! 

Here is a picture of Cannavo, who was considered to be a top barber in the Cottonera area in the 1920s. The photo was taken by ELLIS, a well-known photographer back in the day. Our client, Mr. Xuereb told us that his grandfather is the boy behind the barber and the men reading the paper about to get his haircut is his great grandfather whose name is also “Antonio” 💈

Antonio’s Heritage!

Did you know that the talented Antonio Camilleri was inspired by his grandad who was a barber and dentist on the Royal Navy? Serving on 4 different ships, grooming seamen of all grades, captains to sailors. It is said, the love to the trade was bestowed down skipping one generation.

Avoid going to the unisex salons if you care about your trim, a real barber knows his stuff and won’t do a hack job out of your haircut, as he is trained to cut with clippers, scissors and all types of modern machinery. The conversation happening in a barbershop is high-quality stuff, as you are prone to meet interesting figures with even more interesting stories to tell. As for shaves, you have not lived until you have tried a proper, plush chair, single-razor, hot towel classic barbershop-style shave. “The challenge is to remain awake and not fall asleep”. Reduce your stress by visiting your nearest Antonio’s Barbershop located in Balzan and at the Plaza Shopping Complex in Sliema.

From a real father and son bonding experience to an enhanced community feel, a game of pool and a glass of whiskey, the barbershop is the place to be if you want to feel overall manlier and definitely better groomed. There’s nothing like a nice lather and a face moisturiser to take away your daily worries. ”LIFE, It’s written all over your face”. Now call 99374443 and get a real trim and shave and tell us all about your experience in the comments below.

Change the way you look and change the way you feel!

Friday, 19 November 2021 by Daniel Camilleri

We are in the middle of summer, beach, late nights out and all that goes with it and hope to have enough energy to face your next day at work!!

But, it all starts with your looks, whether you are going to work or for a nice dinner or even on the beach.  When we talk about looks, the first thing that comes to your mind is what clothes to wear according to where you are going.  You want to be wearing the best swimming suit, or the best party wear, but the clothes are not the only thing that makes you look your best, you need a clean shave or a well-groomed beard, and a hairstyle that’s neatly cut and done.

You start preparing for your night out an hour or so before, mentally thinking what you are going to wear, but when it comes to hair and beard, you need to think about this way before that unless you have a clean head shave and a clean-shaven beard, well you still need time to do them too, so, luckily for men, we can have this sorted out days before.  A good haircut can last you for a minimum of 1 week and all you have to worry about is making sure it is clean and styled before you go out.

How do you know you have a good haircut?  No matter what hairstyle you have, being a longer hairstyle or a faded hairstyle, if it does not last a week there is something wrong.  In the case of longer hairstyles, a good barber will give you advice on how to style it after you wash it and also might recommend particular products, if you did not know this by now, make sure to ask for this advice.  As for the faded styles, hair does seem to grow faster, but then again, it should last a week.

Looking good makes you feel good.  Let’s start with the clean-shaven head, you might do it yourself at home or you might go to the barber.  I meet a good amount of guys saying that they do not need to go to the barber as they do not have hair but a trip to the barber is more than that.  A good barbershop will not just shave your head but uses the before and after products to give a closer shave (thus it will last longer) and treats your skin on your scalp too.  While doing so, the barber will be removing any dead skin and massaging at the same time for a better blood flow.  This will make your skin look healthy thus making you look good and you feel good.  Also, if you wish, you can ask the barber to check your eyebrows, nose hair or any other facial hair that are out of place to be removed or trimmed.  The older you are the more facial hair starts growing longer and thicker in some areas, also including the ears, that you might not have had to deal with before.   So, if you still think that going to a barber is not needed, look closer, because you only look in the mirror once a day and still not see it all, while someone in front of you is noticing every hair that is out of place.

Now we move on to the hairstyle, having short hair means that you might have had the same hairstyle forever. If you are happy with it, well done, as long as it is kept clean and styled to your liking, you nailed it. On the other hand, if you like to follow the hair fashion or like to change your hairstyle, what comes next? If you have seen a particular hairstyle which you would like to have, a good barber will know if it is achievable and if it will suit you or not. What do I mean by this? If the style you want needs longer hair than what you already have, you have to be patient and wait for the hair to grow long enough to achieve the desired hairstyle, once done, you also have to learn how to style it and what products you need to do so. Another thing you need to pay attention to is the way your hair grows when you want to change your style, the barber can style it for you the way you want it, but as soon as you wash your hair, it will go back to its natural growth, therefore, you will need more time than before to style it.

I would like to close on one particular subject that is mostly overseen by many. If you dye your hair or use any type of chemicals such as straightening, remember that you are damaging the hair and you will need to use treatments to keep your hair looking healthy. Chemicals remove the natural oils from the hair and leave the hair looking dull, depending on the extent of the damage in the hair; you need stronger hair repair treatments. And not only chemicals from hair dye or straightening can damage your hair, but also in summer, if you are a frequent pool user, remember that there are chemicals in the water to keep it clean. Pool chemicals, saltwater from the sea combined with the sun does not leave your hair looking healthy. You might not need strong treatments, but, the use of a hair conditioner after shampooing will help more than you can think it would.

A trip to the barber is not only to keep your head of hair in place but also time for you to relax.  At Antonio’s Barber Shop we think of you as soon as you think of us.  How?  Our online booking system can be accessed any time of day or night, it might be the first thing in the morning, or even when you are getting ready to go out.  Not bothered to log onto our system, just send a message and we will get back to you so you do not have to remind yourself to book your appointment.  We also call you or send you a message a day before your appointment to remind you.  As soon as you arrive, you can leave your stress at the door and start your relaxing time, our receptionists will take over from there.  A fresh beer or a glass of whiskey will be waiting for you too, and let the hands of the barbers do the rest.

You will leave #lookinsharp and relaxed, with a swagger in your feet ready to take on the world !!

How to Determine Whether a Perfume Is Authentic!

Friday, 19 November 2021 by Daniel Camilleri

Perfumes! How to choose a long-lasting fragrance for men!

According to a famous perfumer, sometimes affectionally referred to as ‘Nose’ (French: Le Nez) confirm that from an olfactive point of view, longer-lasting fragrances usually present variations in wood, musk, and resin ingredients. This will establish the base foundation on the skin which will extend the wear for six hours and up. He also mentions that the final factor that influences the fragrance is oil concentration. “Whether a fragrance in an Eau de Toilette or Eau de parfum, the power of the smell greatly depends on the fragrance oil concentration percentage” he explains.

Antonio’s Barbershop – The Executive – Silver Heights Cologne Inspired by Creed’s Silver Mountain Water has the following notes:

  • Top Notes – Mandarin, Green Tea & Black Currant.
  • Base Notes – Galbanum, Musk & Sandalwood.
    Available from our online store!

How to Determine Whether a Perfume Is Authentic!

When purchasing expensive perfume, you’ll want to know that you’re buying the real deal. Imitation perfumes are easily manufactured but don’t have the same quality or scent as the authentic perfume, so you don’t want to waste money on them. Understanding the signs of fake perfumes can help you make an informed choice.

  1. Know the seller! Most counterfeit perfumes purchases can be avoided by going to a reputable seller or a well know establishment that purchases its stock from authorised distributors (Avoid flea markets at all cost, or at least when it comes to perfumes).

Some trusted resellers listed:

  • https://antoniosbarber.com/product-category/perfume-cologne-more/
  • https://www.paulandwaters.com.mt/
  • https://www.perfumesandmore.com.mt/
  • https://www.instash.com/style/cologne/
  • Price, although this isn’t always indicative of the quality of the perfume, if it’s really cheap for the “Brand” it claims to be, then it’s likely to be too good to be true and it isn’t the real perfume. Comparing it to prices on the market also helps, by simply googling the product and checking one to two websites.
  • Research, research, research. If you are spending €100+ we recommend going into the manufacturer’s website to see if they have provided enough information on the packaging, bottle and the placement of the bar code.
  • Wrapping: Legitimate perfumes typically have cellophane tightly wrapped well around the box. If the plastic is loose or badly wrapped, to the point where it is moving around the box is a clear sign that you need to look elsewhere.
  • Inspect the box, very close: Check for grammar, misspelling, poorly laid out info are the things you need to be on the lookout when inspecting the packing. Real packaging is made from high quality paperboard. Boxes made from thin, flimsy material are often counterfeit. Look for the barcode on the packaging. The barcode must be placed on the lowest back portion and not on the sides. Lastly, check to see if there is any excess glue or tape. Real perfume shouldn’t have any messy glue residue or extra tape inside or outside the container.
  • Barcode: Batch, control and serial number is a must when to confirm authentic perfumes. Compare the manufacturer to see whether the numbers match with their production number.
  • Feel the bottle: Authentic perfumes have smooth bottles rather imitation bottles are often a bit rough and are usually poorly made, or even glass replaced with plastic. That’s a no, no!
  • Smell the difference: Understanding the complexity of a real perfume is the real deal, authentic perfumes are complex and of intricate construction. Those who know the perfume’s scent can often sniff our counterfeit, you might be one of them.
  • Knowing the layers is key: Authentic perfumes will have 3 layers that unveil themselves over time, consisting of the top, middle and base notes. This complexity ensures that the scent is carried and multidimensional, allowing the scent to change from the initial application until complete skin absorption. Fake perfumes will only have one layer making them flat and often “off” small after on a short time of application.
  • Test it out! The final step is testing it out, some fake perfumes can cause allergic reactions, or leave unwanted rushes on your skin. Ready to buy the perfumes, test it on and leave it for a couple of hours. You will notice that if authentic the smell gradually changes from the top not to the middle not where on the other hand the counterfeit might last 1 to 2 hours max and smell vanish in thin air.

2021/2022 Hair Style Trends

Friday, 19 November 2021 by Daniel Camilleri

2021/2020 Hair Styles Trends

Anyways 2021/2020 are here and today we’ve got 25 hairstyles for our younger audience that will be dominating the year ahead and we will be starting with the shortest hairstyles first then gradually going up through longer hairstyle looks.

Number 1 – we’ve got a faded buzz cut. Now for the younger dudes still in your early teen years, you’re still growing, still developing. This is the best style at your young age, easy to maintain and give you an attitude that influences confidence.

Number 2 – regular buzz cut has those masculine features that haven’t fully developed in you yet. Therefore, your facial features might still be a little, round and youthful-looking, especially near the jawline, and so a regular buzz cut won’t compliment you as much as a faded buzz cut. Number 3 – As a faded buzz cut is going to give your face a more squared-off shape making you appear more chiselled and more masculine opposed to making your face look rounder and more youthful as a regular buzz cut would do.

Number 4 – the short crew is a look that’s been gaining some serious traction over the last couple of years. This is basically like a grown-out buzz cut but that’s still short crew style. Number 5 is nice and clean on the sides or you could go for something just slightly longer like the modern crew which will be nice and easy to style and also maintain the short messy chop is a great look that has 2021 written all over it.

Number 6 – Another great hairstyle that’s also easy to style and maintain due to how messy it is. For this style, it’s almost like the messier the better in our opinion. Number 7 – the textured mid fade is a great choice to roll with. Especially in modern times like these as high skin fades and high skin tapers are starting to take a back seat and fade out.

The mid fade serves you with a more natural yet still very much, cleaned up look or you could grow out the sides a bit and really go for a more natural look Number 8 – such as this. Now if this is too natural for you, Number 9 – then you could also just get a sideburn fade while asking for clean up around the ears and neck. This is a look that’s definitely been more popular lately and from this point, if you grow out your hair just a bit longer on top, you’ll definitely be able to start slicking it back to the side a bit. Number 10 – Here is a slick back with a mid-fade that looks really nice on pretty much anybody any face shape.

Next is Number 11 – the curly fade is a great selection for those of you with curls or Number 12 – nappy hair for short messy quaff is a dope look if you’re wanting something stylish yet very masculine at the same time.

Number 13 – Now for those of you, that love the high skin fade and can’t seem to shake this look. The only thing I’d suggest is not going too much longer on top than this. If your hair is longer than this then I’d say just slick it back but if you Number 14 – keep growing it longer on top, then the cut is almost going to start looking too drastic like some sort of undercut or something which of course as we know is not as trendy as it once was a few years ago.

However, if you do like that longer more voluminous top. The only thing I’d suggest is growing the sides out just a tad. Even so, that way the cut doesn’t look so bizarre and so drastic. Now for a style like this, I would definitely say to use a blow dryer in some sort of high holding clay much like Number 15 – Matt Mudd. It gives you a nice natural finish with an intense hold that’ll last you all day long.

Number 16 –  moving on keeping things messy and a bit overgrown is a trend that’s really starting to take off right now and if you were ever to grow out your hair, now would be the time to do it like that. An awkward stage that men usually face while growing out their hair, this stage is actually trendier now than it’s ever been so while your hair is growing out. Number 17 – this is a great look that you can go for as you can see. Both these hairstyles have a subtle off centred part as you can see.

Number 18 – here’s a similar look for those of you with wavier hair that also looks really nice. Definitely, a look I’d go for myself if my hair wasn’t so straight. Number 19 – Another cool look from my wavy hair dudes is this simple casual look. It’s very low key yet has a cool vibe to it.

However, if you aren’t feeling the fringe in the front you, of course, could do a more Number 20 – side swept quaff for a more you know masculine appearance. Number 21 – The messy side part is a great choice to go with as well this is a nice look that’s always been in style and I don’t ever see it going out either.

Number 22 – As we know the 90s are back stronger than ever and the rom-com look is looking pretty fire at the moment. Number 23 – We know a lot of you younger dudes here on this channel watching are 2000s babies, so this is your chance to really enjoy some of that 90s nostalgia that you never really got to experience. So, with that said one of the most classic low keys looks that you can achieve is the wanted look.

Number 24 – messy slick back. This cut has no skin fades no lineups it’s just naturally a great look. It’s, of course, a really grown out look but because it’s all pushed back nicely with some pomade. It gives it a really nice, elegant touch now this is a more popular look at the moment and we highly recommend it.

Number 25 – We would suggest is just to be okay with some of the hairs falling out of place. High volume hairstyles don’t necessarily look their best when they’re perfect just standing stiff and straight up like a peacock or something right. Instead, just maybe scale back your hair products a bit definitely don’t use any hair spray as that’s going to make it Number 26 – just stand straight up like some sign, some sort of sculpture.

Number 27 – So be you know to be cool with those strands kind of falling as they may as this is what gives it style this is what gives it vibe. Number 28 – Now many dreads are undeniably a great look especially at this length athletes are going from more similar looks more than ever right now. So, you may want to jump on this if you haven’t yet.

Number 29 & 30 – The layered long hairstyle is nice as well and something that’s definitely gaining some serious traction. However, if you have this you know these hair measurements. Don’t be afraid to also apply some pomade in it every once in a while, and style it for maybe a nice date night.

How to care for your hair and skin after summer!

Tuesday, 31 August 2021 by Daniel Camilleri

How to care for your hair and skin after summer!

Sadly for some but thankful for others, the long hot summer days are coming to an end and we welcome some fresh breeze.

Sun, sea and pool water can be tough on your hair and your skin, especially on your face and head. Many factors such as the high UV rays mixed with salt or pool water can quickly damage hair and it will feel straw-like and brittle, while skin would have lost its moisture and looks dry. As always, the best remedy is precaution is better than cure, but maybe you were too busy enjoying yourself and now it’s time to work on them, you can restore that shine in your hair and moisturize your skin to look your best once again and think of the winter elements, of which thankfully is short and not too hard on us!! Follow these simple tips for the most effective care.

  • 1. Take care of your cuticles:

The hair cuticle which is the outer layer of the hair shaft consists of overlapping cells. Its job is to protect the hair from environmental elements such as UV rays which will leave your hair looking brittle and dry. To strengthen that cuticle again, only one thing helps, use our shampoo to wash your hair (wash your hair once with the shampoo if you do not use any gels or waxes on your hair or twice with the shampoo if you do) after rinsing the shampoo out completely use our conditioner and leave for 2 to 5 minutes or so before rinsing it out completely. You will immediately feel the difference in the texture of your hair no matter how long or short your hair is. This will also help with dry skin and will avoid dandruff.
Our shampoo and conditioner can be used on a daily basis.

  • 2. Take care of the skin on your face and your head:

Once again due to the UV rays, your skin loses its natural oils and the only way to help those natural oils is to apply our Beard Moisturiser which can be used all over the face and head. It can also be used on your arms and legs if needed and especially around your elbows. There are many moisturizing products out there for you to use, but our Beard Moisturiser (NOT BEARD OIL) has a manly scent that includes sandalwood (not a flower smell) and is specifically made for our Maltese weather. How to apply: after you wash your skin apply a small amount (we do not want you to look like you are ready to go in a frying pan) and rub it on any area that is dry. This can also be used on a daily basis and mostly when the weather starts getting colder to protect your skin.

Once you try The Hot Towel Shave, you will be back!

Thursday, 26 August 2021 by Daniel Camilleri

Once you try The Hot Towel Shave, you will be back!

Whether you have a short beard, a full beard or a clean shave going to a barber can be beneficial. I am sure you must have heard the words “Hot Towel Shave” and I will be explaining in more detail what it is.

The barber will be preparing your skin and opening your pores to get a closer shave and also to avoid irritation.  A Full Hot Towel Shave starts with cleansing of the full facial skin to remove any dirt, oil or dry skin from your face. You can also choose to add a post-shave cooling mask too!

A hot towel will be placed on your face to open the pores and pre-shave oil is applied to soften the bristles of your beard while messaging the skin, which helps you feel stress-free and relaxed, this will also help with blood circulation.

Shaving cream is applied with a shaving brush and applied in a rotation motion; this will help to cleanse the skin under the beard and to pull any ingrown hair.

Barbers use disposable blades and a new blade is placed for each client. The Barber will start the shave by following the direction of the hair growth.

Once the shave is ready the barber will clean the skin from any remaining shaving cream and apply a cold towel, this will help to close the pores to avoid any bacteria getting in.

The final touch is the After Shave Balm, applied around the facial hair area to rehydrate the skin and messaging the skin at the same time.

This type of shave helps avoid skin irritations due to razor burns and rashes.  It also helps to keep your skin clean and looking healthy and improves the level of protection of your skin.

You can finish off this treatment by adding our Barber Pro Post Shave cooling mask as the serum will cool the skin, as well as hydrating and nourishing the area, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and smooth.

Once you experience this treatment, you will understand all the benefits of this service.  And why not?  You deserve some pampering, getting away from your daily stress and at the same time, if you look good, you feel good!!!

Time to relax, because you are worth it!

Saturday, 07 August 2021 by Daniel Camilleri

Time to relax, because you are worth it!

Ever wondered what does the Full Barbering Service entails? Let us #explain the whole process from start to finish. With a total 13 step process, the 1 hour spend under our talented and experienced hands will make you feel reborn.

  • Step 1 - We begin by cleaning the face from oil and impurities using a top of the range facial cleanser

The first step is to use our Facial Cleanser which is designed to softly cleanse your skin and eliminate oils and impurities. Your skin will be clean and ready for the mask to be applied.

  • Step 2 – Next is line is the most important step, applying the peeling mask

Face Putty Peel-off mask will be applied to dry, clean skin using clean fingertips or a mask brush while avoiding the hairline, eyes and lips. This mask will detoxify your skin, target blackheads and acne, and make the skin thoroughly clean and healthy.

  • Step 3 – While the mask is making its magic, we will begin the Hair Cut or Hot Towel Head Shave

Then, our old school barbers will take care of your hair and will do everything required to give you the finest hairstyle you desire.

  • Step 4 – Beard Grooming time

Next up is the beard grooming, your time to relax and for us to get you lookin sharp. Indeed, a man’s beard, or even the finest moustache, is a reflection of his character and values and must be handled as such.

  • Step 5 – Peel Mask

The mask will be gently removed after about 20 minutes or when it is completely dry. Your skin will feel more vigorous than ever. (We promise, it’s not painful at all)

  • Step 6 – Next up is to clean your face from residue using our signature facial cleanser

In order for your skin to be the healthiest and cleanest, a cleanser will be used again to ensure that no trace of the mask is left behind.

  • Step 7 – This step is the most relaxing one, we know you love the Hot Towel Shave

Shaving with a hot towel and a traditional single-blade razor is part of the complete services. We invite you to lie down in one of our retro barber chairs, starting with a warm towel that will be applied to your face and you will then feel comfortable and relaxed. Then the barber will lather up your beard and start shaving to perfection. Your face is then cleansed, and a cold towel is applied to your face to close the pores.

  • Step 8 – Now we move you to the backwash where we apply the Cooling Mask while we wash your hair

A cooling mask will be applied and your hair will be washed while the benefits of the mask take place. Your head will feel lighter and more vibrant because the cooling mask helps to heal headaches, eliminate eye bags, heal dark circles and relax the skin.

  • Step 9 – Face massage after the mask to relax the skin

You can be sure that you are in the right hands. The Face massage takes about 5 minutes and is given to immerse you in a peaceful environment and let your mind relax.

  • Step 10 – We now wipe the face clean using a Towel

This is where we clean the face from the oil allowing your face to be fresh and clean before applying the final product.

  • Step 11 – Hydration your face after all those steps is a must, this is when our signature Hydration Facial Cream comes to play

A hydrating cream will be applied to the face in a soft way.  Our aim is to keep the face properly nourished and relaxed during all stages of our service.

  • Step 12 – Style the hair and Blow-dry

The styling side of the haircut is achieved by drying the hair and using hair products for the perfect style.

No Hair? No Problem, post the head hot towel shave we apply hydrating products to your head to give it an appropriate hydrating solution.

  • Step 13 – We will ask you if you wish Antonio’s Barber Shop Signature Cologne or any other fragrance

At the end of the full barbering service, we let you leave completely fresh and smelling like a true champion ready to conquer the world!
