new year tips from the boardroom salon for men
If you’re lucky enough to live in Texas, be sure to schedule an appointment at The Boardroom Salon for Men. You’ll relax in a plush leather chair, shoot some pool and escape the trial and tribulations of the day. Enjoy the 1920’s country club vibe and leave very well groomed. For the rest of the country, The Boardroom’s Lauren Rachel shares her tips for looking your best in the New Year.

TM: Which men’s haircut do you predict will be the most important for the coming year?

LR: The classic Undercut is the way to go in 2016. It’s a super clean look that’s a little longer on the top, faded and well blended from the neck up. Some guys prefer a neater shaved-in part. You can wear it slicked in place for the workweek and looser for a more relaxed look on the weekend.

TM: What is the best way to take care of your hair?

LR: One of the easiest ways to amp up your routine is to keep your haircut well maintained. For some guys that may mean getting a trim every two weeks, for others once a month depending on how fast your hair grows. It shouldn’t be noticeable every time you have your hair trimmed.

TM: Is there one go-to product The Boardroom Salon stylists swear by?

LR: Bumble and Bumble Sumotech is a Boardroom favorite and works on all hair types. Sumotech is “not a wax, not a paste and not a crème, but a mid-weight molding compound that’s a combination of all three,” as described by Bumble. You can trust this lightweight; no-shine product will keep your hair in place and looking great.

TM: Will the beard trend continue?

LR: Yes, many clients at The Boardroom link their haircuts with a professional beard trim. It takes just ten minutes. For guys embracing the beard trend, neat, well- trimmed “full stubble” is most professionally accepted. If you want to go longer that’s great too. No matter what the length, keep the shape uniform and condition with beard oil.

TM: If our guys are working on that big promotion this year what are some of the Boardroom services that can help them edge out the competition?

RL: Small details matter and make all the difference. Hand grooming is not too girly. Different from a women’s manicure, this service will leave your nails clean with a natural shine. Clients also swear by our “Fountain of Youth” camouflaging service that gets rid of just the right amount of gray hair. It’s a natural look that lasts about a month and is much less shocking than a head of freshly dyed jet-black hair. After all, you don’t want to hide that you are mature enough of the job.

The 5 Best Hair Dryers for Men To Keep Your Mane in Tip-Top Shape

Are you sporting a longer hairstyle these days due to fewer barber tips during the pandemic? You're certainly not alone. However, unlike shorter cuts, long hair requires extra upkeep. Knowing how to properly blow dry your hair is one way to keep your long, luscious locks healthy in between barber visits.

It's not necessary to drop a lot of money on a top-of-the-line hair dryer (although you can if your budget allows). Many inexpensive options can dry and style hair very well; however, if you want to level up your grooming game, consider a professional-grade hair dryer with the technology and attachments to help reduce drying time, eliminate frizz, and add shine.

Now that we’ve squeezed the last few golden days out of summer, it’s time to do a little damage control on that sun-abused, dried-out skin, and prep for fall’s cooler, drier days. Sudden shifts in climate can also cause your skin some stress (like in the Northeast where Mother Nature threw the switch to autumn right after Labor Day), so it’s time to break out products that minimize the effects of that change, while correcting sun damage and premature aging. 

We’ve already shared our best face care routine with you, but here we do a little variation on the theme, swapping in products to target and heal sun damage while deep moisturizing. Besides, we only have a few weeks left until November, so let’s get on this now to have a fresh canvas for all those beards and mustachios.
