No list of the best barbers in Sydney is complete without a name drop for Face of Man.

The QVB institution was originally founded in 1978, and despite the refurbishments, still retains much of its classic smokers lounge charm. Whisky bar and all.

Headed by local fade pioneer Shafeel (formerly of the famed Chifley Barbers) — who has lined up everyone from Aussie F1 icon Daniel Ricciardo to the Wu-Tang Clan (the latter by personal request) — whether you’re after a cut or a beard trim, you simply cannot go wrong here.

Recently, the aesthetics hub has expanded its ‘Face of Grooming’ services to include quite an extensive list of innovative beauty treatments — beyond the standard facial — executed by an accredited team of technicians and therapists.

Brow Benefits

Outside of anti-ageing products and treatments, there is an optical illusion hack that can instantly add some eye area pep: a brow shape.

As men age, our eyebrows often become overgrown. So, if you’ve got bushy eyebrows that would make even Noel Gallagher blush, then just cleaning up some of the excess hair can really help shave off the years. And while you may think that a sneaky swipe of your razor is a solution, a stubbly unibrow is never a good look. Instead, play it safe and pay a professional.

Face of Man have been a staple in Sydney’s male grooming scene for more than 40 years and their premium new HQ is the place to go for some serious TLC. Amidst the offering of in-house barber, swanky Elemis facials and massage, punters can also get their brows expertly shaped.

Working with the brow’s natural lines to ensure a perfect contour, therapists can tame unruly facial follicles into an eye-area masterpiece making your eyes look more open and your face more youthful.

“We didn’t win, but I don’t need an award to know that I have the MOST Amazing passionate and hard working team,” stated Kylie, Face of Man owner.

“Australian Beauty Industry Awards 2022 finalists share success secrets and challenges“

[EXTRACT] From makeup artists who saved the day when bridesmaids didn’t show, to beauticians battling “influencer misinformation,” to business owners sharing award stages with rivals – these are the stories of the NSW Australian Beauty Industry Awards finalists.

They say “beauty is pain” but that does not appear to be the case for the top figures and businesses recognised at the prestigious Australian Beauty Industry Awards.

These strong-minded women have battled a raft of challenges such as cancer diagnoses while running businesses alone, losing family members just as they open new venues and enduring seemingly endless lockdowns and natural disasters.

But for all the personal and professional adversity they’ve faced, they’ve expressed gratitude for their exciting careers which often involve customers’ most special days or their only relaxation outlet.

It’s clear their jobs spark more joy than pain for both their clients and themselves.

The ABIA awards were launched in 2011 to award excellence in business and creative ability on a state-by-state basis. Winners were judged by more than 30 local and international make-up artists, stylists and industry expert judges at a Gala night in Sydney on Sunday.

These are the stories of the NSW winners and finalists.

Face of Man opened in 1978 as Sydney’s first dedicated men’s salon, and has expanded to offer advanced skin and wellness treatments.

Director Kylie Hayden said her team was proud to be part of something greater than glowing skin.

“(We are) allowing men to exist in a space that challenges toxic masculinity and help enhance their self-esteem,” she said.

“As we tell our clients – it’s just maintenance with a side of scotch”.

“Your skin deserves a drink: Experience the HydraFacial at Face of Man“

Give your skin a quick refresher in your lunch break 

Our skin is left parched and dry during winter due to the cold windy weather. When your skin is dehydrated and lacking moisture, fine lines become more prominent. The HydraFacial treatment at Face of Man will hydrate, plump complexion and smooth lines in a matter of minutes (the same time it takes for your food delivery to arrive). 

Through a combination of vacuum technology, water pressure and serums, the HydraFacial effectively removes impurities from the skin, whilst also delivering antioxidants and active ingredients to target concerns such as dry skin, dark spots, acne, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores and uneven skin tone and texture. 

Suited to those with on-the-go lifestyles the treatment reduces and treats the environmental effects of pollution, dehydration, and sun damage in just 30 minutes. With no redness, flaking or downtime, you can come in for a treatment during your long break or between meetings. 

The patented technology cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin through a 3-step process that will clear your pores, dissolve dead skin cells and deeply moisturise.  

Cleanse & peel: The first step is to deeply cleanse the skin, washing away impurities on the skin’s surface and remove any leftover dirt and dead skin that may be in the pores. The water pressure works to clean while simultaneously break the bond of dead cells and gently resurfacing the skin revealing a fresh, new layer.

Extract & hydrate: Next is an application of salicylic and glycolic acid using a vacuum technology to infuse deeper into the skin. Salicylic acid dissolves skin debris that clog pores, acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps inflamed pimples and pustules heal faster, while glycolic acid removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells revealing brighter, fresher skin. 

Fuse & protect: Now it is time for the drenching of Serums, these can be personalised depending on your specific skin concern. This step seals in all the goodness, protecting the skin and locking in all the hydration. 

Although the HydraFacial is a quick fix leaving your skin glowing in a matter of minutes, its effects are long-lasting.

The best way to get off the grid without actually investing in a road trip? A day spa – better yet, a luxury day spa. These spas in Sydney are packed with premium wellness experiences, where you can spend a few hours completely immersed in a half or full day of pampering – usually with a glass of Champagne (or cucumber water) waiting for you on the other end. Whether that means a deep tissue massage, a specially formulated men’s facial, a full body massage, or even a good old fashioned couples massage, really giving yourself over to everything a Sydney day spa offers is always a good idea.

Face of Man Sydney

While not exactly a spa in the traditional sense, Face of Man is essential for men looking to refresh their bodies on the regular. As you could probably tell from the name, the focus here is on the face – specifically skincare. Fashioned as a luxury ‘Male Grooming Lounge’, this Sydney CBD business offers advanced men’s facial and skincare treatments far beyond what you’d normally expect from a simple massage.

Granted, you can always opt for a facial treatment at most of the day spas Sydney has to offer, but here they get incredibly technical with it. The staff are all experts when it comes to taking care of the skin and offer a large range of options including tailored facial treatments, and other grooming services like waxing, laser hair removal, tattoo removal, and derma filler injections.

Or you could always just opt for a full body scrub and a massage, given the staff are also experts in Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, hot stone therapy massage.
