The hot-towel shave is the ritual every man should try at least once. At MOONN Studios in Faerie Glen, Pretoria East, we soften your beard with steaming towels and pre-shave oil, then shave with a keen razor for the closest, smoothest finish.
We cool your skin down with a fresh towel and balm at the end, so you leave relaxed and clean-shaven. Pair it with a beard trim or a fresh fade, or see more of our work on Instagram.
Hot-Towel Shave FAQs
What is a hot-towel shave?
It is the classic barber shave. We soften your beard with hot towels and pre-shave oil, shave with a straight or safety razor for a close, smooth finish, then cool your skin with a towel and balm at the end.
Is a hot-towel shave better than shaving at home?
For most men, yes. The hot towels open your pores and soften the hair, so the razor glides instead of dragging. You get a closer shave with far less irritation and razor burn than a rushed shave at the basin.
How often can I have a hot-towel shave?
As often as you like a fresh, clean-shaven look — many clients book weekly or fortnightly. If your skin is sensitive, every couple of weeks gives it time to recover comfortably between shaves.
