A smooth scalp through a Simi Valley summer
Simi Valley summers are hot, arid, and clear, and the hot season runs from late June to late September. If you keep your head shaved, that heat shows every bit of stubble and every patch of irritated skin. Clippers at home leave a shadow. A razor shave takes it down to smooth skin.
The hot towel softens the hair first, and the cold towel at the end cools the skin down, which you will appreciate before stepping back out into the afternoon sun.
Before a wedding at Wood Ranch or a gala at the Reagan Library
Wood Ranch Golf Club, on Wood Ranch Parkway, hosts weddings and private events on the west side of town. A groom or groomsman getting married there can come in the day before for a face shave, so any redness has time to fade before the photos. The Reagan Library does not host weddings, but it does host corporate and nonprofit events, and the same timing works for those.
If the whole wedding party wants shaves, call ahead so the times line up. A head shave can be done closer to the event, since the scalp usually settles quickly.
A clean face for a Simi Valley job interview
Two of the biggest workplaces in Simi Valley are the school district and the Adventist Health Simi Valley hospital. Classrooms and hospital floors are both places where a neat, clean face is part of looking ready.
Book the shave a day ahead if your skin tends to redden, or the same morning if it does not. Your barber will ask how your skin usually reacts before starting.
Price and what you get
On the shop menu this is the Head or Face Blade Shave, $30, about 30-45 min in the chair. See exactly what the Head or Face Blade Shave includes, or browse the full menu.
Straight Razor Shave questions from Simi Valley
How often should I get my head razor shaved in the Simi Valley heat?
Many people with a shaved head like a razor shave every week or two in summer and keep it up at home in between. Heat and sweat make stubble more noticeable, so a professional shave before a weekend outside keeps things smooth longer.
Is a hot towel shave a good idea before a wedding at Wood Ranch Golf Club?
Yes, if you time it right. Book the face shave the day before so any redness can settle before photos. For a head shave, closer to the day is fine. Call ahead if several people in the wedding party want shaves.
Can I get a razor shave on my way home to Simi Valley?
Yes. The shop is a short jog from the De Soto exit on the 118. The shave takes thirty to forty five minutes, so booking a set time online is the easiest way to fit it into the drive home.
Will a straight razor shave bother skin that is dry from a Simi Valley summer?
It should not, because the skin is prepped first. The hot towel and hot lather soften the hair and skin, and the cold towel and balm help calm it afterward. Tell your barber if your skin is sensitive or sunburned so the shave can wait for another day.
Should I shave my beard off before a job interview in Simi Valley?
It depends on the job and how your beard looks. A clean straight razor shave is the safest choice when you are unsure. If you want to keep the beard, the beard trim and shape up is the better booking, since it cleans the lines without taking the beard off.
