I ran across this article regarding athletes that have better performance in their sport with regular pedicures. This made perfect sense to me especially with the golfers that frequent our salon on the S. George Street location.

The general population feel that pedicures are for women or a “girly” thing which we know that has zero foundation. My son-in-law actually has pedicures with my daughter as together time and she loves it. She loves that he takes care of his feet and she loves the time that they spend together.

Professional men need this need this sport pedicure to remove the dead skin build up on the bottom of the feet after months of being stuck inside those basket ball shoes, golf shoes that get wet once in awhile with a rain storm. Couple of reasons why men should have pedicures are listed here:

1. removes the foul foot smell that will work up to a “leave your shoes outside” comment from your special other. The foul smell comes from not cleaning the feet properly, not cleaning the underneath part of the toes that collect bacteria along with sweat, dirt and general dirt buildup.

2. proper cleasing of the toenails, the disinfectants that are used to kill bacterial from underneath the nails and surrounding tissues.

3. buffing the calloused heels, sides of the feet that were build up from strength training and endurance runs that eventually helped protect the bones but there comes a time when we need to buff those down to a smooth service. Your partner will thank you.

4. relaxing massaging of the leg and calf muscles to reduce tension. Why not? If feels good and again your partner will appreciate your good nature when you are finsihed.

5. no need for polish. A nice buffing will do. Actually that is my favorite part is the buffing block that is used with a special oil to really bring out the shine naturally.

Vincent Reedy for Holberg Designs. New haircut created by Kimberly at Indulge Salon, York Pa

What makes you think that a man wants the same ole’ same ole’ haircut? I happen to know for a fact they don’t want it the same way all of the time. When a man sits in my salon chair, they expect to get an exceptional haircut that suits their lifestyle, their INDIVIDUALITY.  The progressive man wants ideas about his skin, his hair!

Every day I am lucky to serve professionals with their haircutting needs with the most exceptional ideas to create a customized haircut for men. We collaborate their individual styles. I am so lucky to provide them with the best hair products to maintain their new hairstyle. My team of professionals at Indulge Salon, York Pa can give professional advice on skincare and nail care.

Lets take one of my special clients Vincent Reedy. He has been a client a client of mine for years. Originally, he was seeking out a salon that would be able to duplicate a look he saw in a magazine. He was searching for a creative stylist to cut his hair the way he wanted.

At our appointed time, the first step that happens is Vincent fishes out a photo from his pocket. It’s always the newest hair style for men that inspired him. You see Vincent is a really creative director at Holberg Designs. The company creates branding for companies, creates and designs websites, helps companies develop strategies in their branding pieces. By now you are understanding that Vincent has a creative streak and knows what he wants and how to project his individuality and uniqueness. He is a family man with an awesome wife and two cool kids. Just because he is a family man doesn’t mean he has to be boring.

Our last appointment this week, I  was so excited to see him because I had this great look that I saw in an article which inspired me to suggest

The Scumbag Barbers of Rotterdam list of haircuts

this newest clippered, textured haircut for him. Creating his individual look was easy for me because I know him and his textured hair. Customizing a haircut requires strategy in cutting angles on the  flat planes of the hair. We have the specialized haircutting techniques to cut angles on a curved surface. I know it may look easy but really the type of creative work we do takes focus on the details.

Sometimes its the simplest of things that will trigger an idea, a look that will look great on a person such as Vincent. I read this article about these unique barbers that basically are artists in their own right that have a list of the type of barbering cuts that the men can choose from when they visit this barber shop. This barber shop called “The Scumbags of Rotterdam” were showcased in a trade magazine called Behind the Chair. This barbershop has no appointments, you have to wait your turn and wait in line. They aren’t interested in the newest and greatest, they are interested in the art of the haircut. Pick one and we will do it. That’s it. I have the ultimate respect for the art of the barbered haircut.

I invite you to watch the transitional journey for Vincent Reedy. Our goal for his new look

is to grow out his beard with a shape that will define his face shape. His hair is going to be taking on a new transition with the clippered tight sides situating into the longer lengths on top. Stay tuned

Its time to break those toes out of shoe jail. The rugged edges, the calloused heels, dry flaky skin and the harnished toes waiting to be polished up for those trendy new sandals that will embrace the summer.

Try the newest nail polish this season. Magenta. Hot pink has cool lavender undertones that make it elegant. It explains why magenat was the manicure of choice on spring runways, including Chanel’s. If your skin is fair, choose a bright magenta, like Milani Hot Pink Rage!

Papaya. Nails that are the color of fresh tropical juice – bright oranges with a hint of pink. One of the favorite shades that us oldies used to wear is Cajun shrimp. Try some of these shades and bring them into the salon. Linsey Salmon, Butter London Tiddly.

Indigo blue. This color has a hint of purple giving more of an edgy pop on the cobalt and navy manicure you’ve probably seen everywhere last year. Yawn! Try OPI OPI….Eurso Euro and Deborah LIppmann I know what boys like.

Seafoam green. This is the vacation version of goes-with everything neutral. Pale mint is soft enough to work with your brightest bathing suits.

Bright lemon. Ture, yellow is a nail polish color NOT for everyone. It looks great on darker skin. Try Fierce N Tangy or Christian Louboutin Beaute Hot Chick.
