What does a well-groomed man look like?  A well-groomed man:         

*  Has the perfect hairstyle for the image he wants to portray and uses the right haircare product to achieve that look, including shampoo AND conditioner and a styling aid;

*  Uses a face wash to wash his face with and follows it up with sunblock because he knows using sunscreen will keep his skin looking youthful.  He is also not afraid to use a complete skin care regimen because he understands the why…the  fountain of youth;

*  Keeps his facial hair trimmed and neat.  No ear and nose hair visible.  No single, long, bushy distracting eye brows.  No unruly mustaches, beards or goatees;

*  Has a white smile and used whitening teeth products daily;

*  Wears clothes that fit well and styled to project the image he wants others to perceive;

*  Smells fantastic because he uses the right cologne and doesn’t use too much;

*  Has well-MANicured hands because the right handshake says it all; and

*  Keeps his shoes groomed because he realizes that “you can judge a book by its cover and a man by his shoes”.

At metro FOR MEN we can show men how to get the right haircut for him, which products are best suited for his needs, advise him on skin care, trim facial hair, wax unwanted nose and ear hair, retail at-home teeth whitening systems and cologne, and get his shoes shined.  Do you have a man in your life that could use a new look for 2011?  Call metro FOR MEN today and schedule a free consultation.

Does he need wardrobe styling and image consulting because he wants to take his career to the next level, get that promotion, or land the perfect job?  Call my colleague Diana Jennings with Brand You Image or visit her at www.brandyouimage.com.

Part 2 – Last week I mentioned a make over I did on a new guest to metro FOR MEN and that taking care of his appearance was not his top priority.  This week I want to tell you about our facial hair consultation.  During ourconsultation I discussed his goatee and the manner in which it was groomed.  He stated that he just trims it–no fuss.  I’m not advocating for fuss, only to provide the best information to achieve the desired look.  I explained to him that goatee lines should not exceed his smile line and should not go past the furthest part of the chin bone.  He looked as if he had a double shin because his goatee was too far down his neck casting a shadow.  I also explained to his that the corners of his goatee were to sharp and should be appropriate to his face shape.  The length of his goatee was perfect and advised that the length should be long enough to fill in areas of weak growth, but not so long that the first impression is the goatee.  My grooming tips for your goatee:

1.  Be in front of a mirror;

2.  Smile at yourself;

3.  Shave to your smile line;

4.  Tilt your face to the ceiling,  find the edge of your chin bone, and shave to that line (when goatees slide down the the neck, it can give the appearance of a double chin);

5.  Check the corners and edit accordingly; and

6.  Trim the length to enhance your look and not be over powering to the viewer.

Next week I’ll tell you about our skin care consultation and bring you skin care tips.  See you next week!
